If a strong conservative candidate can run in 2016 I can almost guarantee that there will be a ground swell of support that can defeat any dem. if we are stuck with a Bush or a Christie well, good luck.
i can still hear that Liberty Bell ringing. Ever so faintly, but still ringing.
This is it!
This is it!
We’re Gunna hava a split!

Huckabee has a lot of support from Christians. I don’t personally think he’d make a very good candidate and don’t trust him on fiscal/small government issues, but I’d vote for him in a heartbeat over anyone on the left.
It’s not enough to simply oppose gay marriage and abortion in my opinion. We need someone who understands why the federal government needs to be pushed back toward its constitutional limits.
Where was Palin on this list? If HilLIARy runs we HAVE TO run a woman
It would make sense for conservatives to have a conservative convention in late 2015 to pick their own candidate
IIRC, the list had about 32 names.
I posted in the original thread that probably 28 of them couldn’t get 100 Electoral Votes in the general election.
Just because their names were listed doesn’t make them presidential material. Even the GOP’s ‘it is his turn’ doesn’t make a candidate presidential material — as seen in 1996, 2008 and 2012.

These polls are a total waste of time. They are meaningless. First of all, there is the little matter of the 2014 elections. Secondly, no one is yet running. All these stories do is distract people. Vote in a poll and pretend they are doing something of substance. They are not.
Let’s TP the congress this fall. Then we can discuss the 2016 elections.
Do not be fooled! Do not trust Rand Paul!
WE need to get to the primaries and make SURE they don’t “give” us a Christie or Bush type this time!!
Paul and Huckaphony are Shamnesty pros.
Best news I’ve had all day!!
Maybe Bush can rise if he becomes even more liberal. /s/
How Amnesty Liberal Rand Paul keeps getting support is flabbergasting. Don’t folks realize he is not a Conservative!!
We will screw up 2016 because folks have no clue what a conservative really is
Well at least ONE of the top two is constitutionally eligible to be president or vice president.
Well at least ONE of the top two was born in America.
Rand Paul
