Any proof to go with that bald assertion that Hillary won't be the nominee?

Proof? Proof regarding an event that is two years away and subject to "Events, dear boy"?

No proof. But her "popularity" is a myth. She is a terrible candidate, she looks like a hag, she has undisclosed medical issues, and she smells like the past.

When the dam starts to leak, the flood will carry her away.

I think that Ted Cruz would be a great AG. President? Not so much.

I know! I know! If we win the Senate and House they will be forced to listen to us!

This is a big country with 300 million plus “legal” citizens. Surely, we can find some qualified candidates.
NO Bushs, Clintons, Kennedys or sons or daughters of any other serving politicians!!!
Time for real change.

We can win if we select the person who can appeal to the hard core right AND the middle crossovers. Lose either end and it’s a likely loss.

Considering the GOP nominate losers like McCain and Romney, I do not see why not.

I’m puzzled by his lack of explanation on his Ted Cruz comments. He says Ted’s very impressive but has zero chance every of being president. I’m not real sure how being very impressive disqualifies a person for the presidency, because that’s the only information he provided.

Kasich is my governor. Is he a Rino? I saw the guy just a few weeks ago at the end of the campaign in a fairly small group in our small Ohio county. He did NOT talk politics at all. I was surprised. He actually loosened his tie a bit and talked ideas on how to pull people out of welfare and dead end jobs and make them productive again. Then he went into how to catch jobs before they started to be replaced and retrain those workers early on before they lost their job so they could just transition to a new job.

There was zero rah, rah stuff; he didn’t even mention his opponent; and he didn’t mention politics at all as far as I remember.

It was odd. I felt like I was in some seminary professor’s class again listening to a lecture by a economically concerned pastor/professor.

When it comes to RINO losers, the GOP has a deep bench. We have the next Bush in line (Jeb, apparently), Christie, Rubio, an d reruns of Romney or McCain. I’m hoping they will all run to split the liberal vote so we can finally nominate a conservative who will repeal Obamacare and deport illegals.

Funny. He hates Jeb but thinks the two most “electable” candidates are the only two worse than Jeb.

This writer is a loser. He can't say why Cruz won't win?

I'm willing to put down money on Cruz. If he is nominated he will win in historic amounts. The last election is proof of that. The real obstacle is getting past the corrupt portion of the GOP and , of course, the genuinely evil: RATS and their media/academic organs.

Does a bear take a bodacious Obama in the woods?

Are public schools open sewers?

Is the MSM comprised of low-IQ marshmallow majors?

If that is the case we need Sarah Palin to run as an Independent to make sure that Jeb comes in a distant third.

If Sarah ran in the next IOWA caucus she would outdistance the Pubbie field by miles. Hillary's tighty whiteys would cram into a bunch!

The GOP-e is planning on playing it's accustomed role in 2016.

They are to the Democrats what the Washington Generals are to the Harlem Globetrotters. They come onto the court and are expected to lose, and get paid handsomely by the franchise to do it.

I mean really— why shouldn’t a Bush— whose mother calls Bill Clinton like one of her “sons” (even though he is without a doubt a serial rapist, probably dying of tertiary syphilis from most expert diagnosticians view, and a marxist himself with his dyke wife in a “partnership” classic of the Comintern spy playbook, who sold out our US secrets to the Chicoms)

and whose brother George W... calls (supposedly laughingly) Hillary his “sister in law”-— why shouldn’t the designated LOSER.... go through the kabuki for the ruling class and media and.....LOSE. This is the New World Order from the grandsons of Prescott Bush (investment banker- Brown Brothers & Harriman— Harriman the democrat who sold out our troops in Vietnam). It all fits, this “ruling class” that has left out generations of real Americans.

So yes, Jeb is next to lose. Lord help us. And please... no Romneycare from the elite (cause that is what HE was for).

“I love Ted Cruz. I’ve seen him speak and he’s greatly impressed me as a leader and a lawyer, and I’m sorry to say he has absolutely no chance of ever being president.”

Cruz is clearly the front-runner and only solid conservative with a shot at this point. I think his chanches of being the next president are higher than anyone else right now.

The biggest threat to his campaign are not Democrats like Hillary. Rather, the threats come from the Rino’s in the GOP that would actually prefer Hillary or any other Liberal over Cruz.

Well put.

Never underestimate the ability of the Republican Party to shoot itself in the foot...multiple times.

I am not supporting Jeb as a candidate. BUT let me say this in his defense: He is sooooo much more qualified to be President than EITHER Hillary, or his father OR his brother.

Jeb COMPLETED two terms as the governor of a large state with diverse populations. He knows how to govern as an executive.

Hillary does not.
His father had lots of government experience, but not a lot as an executive and NONE as a governor.
His brother had experience as a governor, but only one term, and Texas governors are not necessarily “strong” ones compared to the legislative branch.

Jeb may be wrong on ISSUES, but he is more qualified than Hillary to run the executive branch. That fact shouldn’t even be questioned.

The Republicans will nominate someone recommended to them as “reasonable” and “moderate” by the Democratic National Committee and The New York Times, who - of course - have the best interests of the Republican Party in mind.
