WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITHOUT FREE REPUBLIC?

CAVUTO: Wait. Wait. If Chris Christie were the Republican nominee, in 2016, would Mark Levin support him?
LEVIN: I doubt it.
CAVUTO: If Hillary Clinton were the Democratic nominee, would you sit the election out?
LEVIN: I don't know, we'll see. I'm sick and tired -- Neil, this is the problem. Guys like me have been voting Republican our entire lives and were taken advantage of and the base is under attack now. One of your colleagues there, Karl Rove, has actually set up a PAC to attack the tea party in primaries and so forth. I've had enough. I'm not going to be a sucker anymore.

I’m with Mark.
Besides, he couldn’t get elected anyway.
I think it’s naive to expect that there will be a “Tea Party candidate”. The Tea Party itself is pretty much dead and if there’s not a strong alternative by now, I don’t think there ever will be. Ted Cruz is perhaps the wildcard, but it would take an Obama-like ascension for him to rise to lead a national party ticket with less than one term in the Senate and as a relative unknown. All the other names being bandied about are either E-GOP or Libertarian, in the case of Rand Paul. I’m most likely to support the Libertarian or Independent candidate, despite enormous odds against anyone from outside the two parties ever winning in the current environment.
“Which did you prefer since you had only two choices and Romney was selected by the Republican voters in the primary? “
He was selected by moron conservatives that kept ditching candidates. He was as good as done after SC if we didn’t decided to be cute and spit the vote.
If the nominee isn’t Cruz, Lee, Palin or Sessions, or someone of this type of character, I’ll be voting for a third party.
Same here. I have no doubts whatsoever. No Christie, no way.
I’m not voting for Tugboat, forget that nonsense.
If that is the choice we are offered, then Hillary has already won. Conservatives just aren’t going to get enthused about voting for a RINO like Jeb, no matter how much people try to guilt trip them into it.
bump!!
Telling people they “have to” vote for someone isn’t how you win elections. You need to nominate candidates that people want to vote for, that they will get enthusiastic about, talk about to their friends, work a phone bank for. Nobody gets enthusiastic when they are told they “have to” support a guy they don’t like, who doesn’t represent their interests, and doesn’t understand their concerns. That’s just a recipe for another disaster.
Again, it won’t make any difference.
Taxpayers will get screwed either way.
Didn’t Sessions vote against Justin Amash’s proposal?
bump
“2012 was our last chance and we put up Romney. 2016 is hopeless.”
Well, sure, with that attitude it is.
A “plan B” isn’t any use. We need a “plan A”, to figure out what candidate we are all rallying behind, before the primaries even start. Unless we do that, it will be too late for any “plan B” once the primaries start getting sealed up.
It doesn’t matter what we preferred. The “informed” voters that frequent sites like this don’t tip elections, it’s the low information voters who tune in a couple weeks before election day that do that. Romney couldn’t seal the deal with them, just like every other RINO moderate before him.
I agree. I was talking to my kids about the state of our country and it was pointed out that I sounded like a defeatist. They are correct. I am realistic, and in reality, we have lost, we have been defeated, and it’s as much an inside job as anything else.
On another note we discussed the worst job one could ever have, for me, it’s the man or men who are tasked to lay their chains upon me, which is bound to happen. There are those who will put aside morality and freedom to follow orders, and I will be forced to choose that hill for my last battle.
Very, very sad to watch your country die in front of your eyes.
let's ROLL!!!!!!
Christie will be the candidate of the Dems, not Repubs
If fatso or the bushie wins the GOP nomination, we will really need a third party candidate to get out the conservative and libertarian base. Incumbent GOP senators and reps should be scared sh**less of a bush or Christie GOP nominee. At least a good third party prez candidate would bring out at least some of the base in conservative states. I doubt that a GOP-e candidate could win more than a handful of electoral votes vs Hilary.
