Or, require that all federal primaries be held between April 1st and April 15th.
Ya...Cruz/Paul or Paul/Cruz perhaps?
That is a huge problem.
Someone I've been thinking about -- although I understand not everyone was sure he was a good candidate -- is Herman Cain. I found him smart, appealing, a good speaker, with interesting ideas. I had him as one of my top picks.
The media found out that he knew a female who was not his wife. I'm not sure they slept together. As far as I know, they were mere friends.
That was enough for the media to destroy him -- and the GOP, of course, sat by and was pleased to let it happen.
Obama -- birh certificate, unemployment, deficits, Benghazi, IRS, EPA, lavish vacations, rampant corruption and constitutional abuse, a clearly stolen election.
What do we hear from the media? Pretty much crickets.
The Republican Party has to be little LESS EAGER to jump up and say "Oh! Scandal in our primary!He's not perfect! Get him off! Get him off! He's not electable! Go with the most electable guy!"
C'mon. Herman Cain got bumped so that we could get a second term of Obama, and this happened because Herman Cain was damaged goods.
Why do we help the media play that game?
Why would Cruz not be eligible?
Since 1984.....the nomination has gone to PhonyCon RINOs ....and that needs to change....yes even GW Bush was not a conservative
Out of all those names mentioned...Cruz and Santorum are the only ones I would consider...the rest have major liberal flaws...to an extent
Rush said today he wouldn’t be surprised if Christie runs for president as a Democrat.

Obviously , the Repubs should be pushing Karl Rove as the candidate leader.
You know that the Libturds are formulating background hit pieces on the front runners .
He has such a good history of victories to his credit ...( /sarc)
Actually , the only difference that I see between the Repubs selection process ,
and the Reid controlled Senate legislative process ,
is the name of who is in charge and responsible.
They are equally run ... tyrannically !!
That just means that the winner of the GOP Primary will be too exhausted, damaged, and bankrupt to beat the Democrat in the General.
The GOP needs ONE candidate, and skip the damn Primary. Or at least just ONE conservative. We had to many in 2012, and ended up with Romney.
Cruz/Walker. Accept no substitutes.
I believe his father was a Cuban citizen at the time of his birth, making him ineligible under the Natural Born Citizen (NBC) clause in the Constitution.
I will easily substitute Trey Gowdy as my nominee.
” The media found out that he knew a female who was not his wife. I’m not sure they slept together. As far as I know, they were mere friends.

I think Rove, and the GOPe took Cain out.
.
Good comments and questions all.
I agree with you.
If there was some truth to the Cain story, I am willing to see him drop out. If there wasn’t, I say hang in there.
After railing on Clinton for morals issues for eight years, I don’t want to be a hypocrite about morals issues.
I’m not asking for someone who is perfect, but I am expecting some level of honesty and decency.
I do not consider his side “lefty” but do not forget I live in South Texas....San Antonio.....his position is no different than many conservatives I know....even some in politics. And who are our other choices? I know it is too early to panic...but it is getting close.
Is there any evidence that that was considered the standard for NBC 50 years ago?
Good ticket.
Awesome, but I would switch it around. Walker is a chief executive, and that is vitally important. I would hate to lose Cruz in the Senate, but I guess sacrifices have to be made.
I think there’s truth to that. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a lot more going on in the background than we knew about with regard to Cain.
Rove and the GOPe was hacking all our candidates but Romney to death. I honestly don’t understand that.
And it also bothers me to see one of our candidates make one slip of the tongue, and watch our own people cannibalize them.
Look at the carpola Obama has done, literally tons of it and he never gets hurt, but our folks make one miscue and it’s off to the political guillotine.
The man's middle name is Amnesty, and he's your number one choice for president???
Haven't we had enough fraudulent Republicans to last us a lifetime already?
Cruz has always impressed me as someone who will NOT back down, who will NOT mince words, and someone strong enough not to care how many people in Washington he pleases, in BOTH parties. He is like Rubio/Rand Paul on steroids. Should he want his star to rise, though, and become a legitimate contender, he’s got an uphill battle.
