We have a much deeper and diverse bench than the Dems. That’s for damn sure.
On the Dem side: Two retread 70 year olds.
I’m not certain I can think of a good reason for a Conservative to try to buck the RNC and the Carl Roves and Bill Kristols that are out there. They team up with the Leftist press to literally destroy good candidates before they can get off the drawing board.
And then you have Democrats voting in Republican primaries.
Gee, I wonder why we have no candidates. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Here’s how I think primaries should be organized:
My suggestion is basically to hold the first primary in the state that has the highest percentage of GOP votes in the last election, the 2nd primary in the 2nd highest, and so on. 2 primaries a week for 25 weeks, with the last primaries being the suckup-to-the-democrats. And the democrats could easily have their primary schedule the same way, if they wanted.
This way, if a state is 60% republican, there is still incentive for them to get out the vote for 61% republican so they can bump up their state in the primary schedule.
Also: Rotate all the states (even the big ones) through an early schedule so that everyone gets access at some point to the front line.
OR
Let each state bid when they want their primary to take place. The earlier the primary, the fewer the delegates they control according to some logarithmic or steep curve formula.

Second thing is the order of the primaries should be determined by the percentage of republicans in the last vote. The higher the %pubbie, the sooner the state appears on the primary schedule, with a mix of big & little states and our staunchest republican states get to go FIRST. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1965735/posts?page=862#862

Greenblatt can’t be honest as to why Obama won a 2nd term. He and his thug administration shut down the Tea Party with their IRS terrorism.
The Tea Party cleaned house and WON the House back in the mid-term elections of Obama’s 1st term and they had to be stopped. To come to any other conclusion is flat out ignorant.
This is what was said about the Liberals, before “O” (Mr. Nobody from Nowhere) fell out of the sky!

Post of the day!
The Republican Party needs a civil war all its own!
At least we will know which faction wins, and deal with it accordingly.
Every Primary should be held the same day.
The First primary should not be in a state where either party can vote and it should not be in a little yankee state that is filled with liberal RINO dingleberry’s.
Put my marker down for Cruz.
It will take a miracle for Hillary! to not win the election no matter who runs against her. Mostly because of voter fraud, but also because the ebt crowd will vote dem no matter who is the nom, unlike conservatives who will only vote repub if the nom is a conservative (which we saw happen in ‘12).
In 2006 Romney sent out word that he would tap his personal fortune, and he also had a couple of huge insider fundraisers to make clear that no serious challengers should even try.
The strategy worked and he was the 800 pound gorilla for 2008, (except that he lost anyway), in 2011 he was naturally the 800 pound gorilla, and lost again of course.
I wonder if Jeb Bush or Rubio will be the next assigned candidate.
1. Palin
2. Cruz
3. Rubio
4. Paul Ryan
5. Rand Paul
6. Allan West
7. Bachmann
I’ll take any one of these over the socialist thugs we have in power now!
President Trey Gowdy. Enough said.
Doesn’t it though...
I would take Rubio over anyone else suggested so far.
Cruz isn’t eligible, is he? I know 0bama isn’t either but Cruz is too white-looking to get away with it.
No way. Please
You might want to rethink that. Rubio is a bit on the lefty side when it comes to debate on foreign invaders.
Any GOP “front runner” who comes out now will be savaged by everybody, inluding some of the pundits on FRee Republic, until they are nothing more than a bloody pulp. Better to wait a while.
She emerged clean as a whistle from Benghazi, women love her, the press loves her, and anyone who utters a discouraging word will be painted as a misogynist and a hater.
Please pardon my cynicism.
