What field? There is no field until someone actually decides to run.

Yep.

If a candidate supports abortion, the candidate is liberal.

If a candidate supports amnesty, the candidate is liberal.

If the candidate supports gun control, the candidate is liberal.

If the candidate supports socialized medicine, the candidate is liberal.

If the candidate supports bigger federal government, the candidate is liberal.

I won't be voting for a liberal.

Anybody who expects the GOP Elite to nominate a conservative for 2016 needs to have their head examined. It will be another “moderate” Republican, and they will probably win. Socialist light.

The forum will waste countless millions of hours pushing against this tide and promoting this or that conservative who has no chance for nomination because the GOP elite will sabatoge them at every turn and never support them.

After great anger and whining and denial and fury, we will have another “moderate” Republican like Jeb Bush as president to continue the unbroken push toward socialism.

The fix is in and anybody who doesn’t believe this by now needs to have their head examined or get in touch with the reality that is the GOP elite and their control of the Republican party.

Abandon Hope because Jeb Bush or some other socialist light panzy is going to be the next US president. NOT a Conservative.

Lets cut through the BS and support a winner soon, and they must be a Governor.

I love Ted but the media will crucify him. The rest a Lilliputians.

That leaves Walker, Pence and maybe Perry. I am not sure Perry can recover from his back-pain / being on meds poor performance in the debates in 12'.

That leaves Walker-Pence or Pence-Walker as our ticket IMHO

Let's just get-r-done.

Compare to my list.

I won't vote for a pro-abortion, pro-amnesty, gun-control, socialized medicine, big government liberal.

Are you saying conservatives SHOULD vote for a liberal candidate?

Nope, it's not going to be neat and polite and all tied up in a bow for you.

Conservatives won't vote for a liberal.

Politics is messy, unless the fix is in.

Well Eric apparently has not heard that the big Texas donors are all waiting around to see if Jeb wants to run. If not Jeb then Mitt. They are holding Perry off and very uninterested in Ted Cruz. Its the same old same old.

Cruz
Walker
Pence

Those are the only three GOP candidates I would consider voting for in 2016. The top two would make an awesome ticket. I prefer Cruz myself but I can live with a Walker presidency. If those two fail I would look at Pence if he were in the field. Forget about New Jersey Doughboy, the Bush Dynasty III, the Amnesty Boys Mitt & Paul, any other RINO who wants to run.

Marco Rubio is “well qualified to be President and to stand up to any Democrat, be it Hillary Clinton or someone else?” Is there another Marco Rubio I haven’t heard of?

Yes they will and no I don’t care what the Lib-media think. I think Pence - Walker will keep them off balance. We need Senate Majority leader Ted Cruz, but that is just my 2 cents...

A close look at Rubio's positions, and you'll find

He IS a dimocrap!

They’re almost all pro-amnesty which is pretty much turning the lights out on conservatism and the GOP.
