Again, can we agree that NO ONE who has run on the GOP side in the past should be eligible to run AGAIN!

Here are my favorites for 2016:

TED CRUZ - my bumper stick is ON MY CAR (see runtedrun.com)
Gov Scott Walker - WI
Congressman Trey Goudy
Dr. Benjamin Carson

MITTENS has been a disaster for TWO times now - NO MORE MITTENS, no more BUSHs and NO MORE CLINTONS OR OBAMAS

McCain loses
Romney loses

Yep, third time would certainly be the charm alright.

What do these two have in common?

Neither of them are Conservative. Wouldn’t it be interesting just as a test, to see a Conservative given a chance to win?

You know folks, we wouldn’t have had Ronald Reagan either, if the RNC GOPe had their way.

They were so pissed off about it, they’ve done their damnedest to make sure it never happens again.

Screw ‘em...

No sane person — anywhere on the political spectrum — can HONESTLY argue that Mitt has a chance of winning. Therefore, anyone pushing Mitt as a candidate WANTS the democrats to win. If not a closet democrat himself, then maybe just an opportunist who thinks his career has more status when the dems are in the whitehouse.

Whatever the reason — fool, moron, traitor or scoundrel — he’s dissembling when he says Mitt can win.

Mitt can’t win.

He knows it, you know it, we all know it.

So why is he saying it?

Not presidential tender yet. I think he would make a great nominee in 2024.

I am not sure he would eliminate programs. I do know he would be a good POTUS a he is a great administrator.

The problem is HE CAN”T WIN! He couldn’t beet Obama and Obama was a disaster from beginning to end. He wouldn’t attack, he wouldn’t pick an attack dog a running mate that would have crushed this scumbag Obama. He could have picked West, he could have picked Newt. Anybody to be an attacker. He picked a policy Wonk.

HE WON”T WIN> I wanted him to beet Obama, he lost. He would lose to Fauxcahontis or Cankles too.

There wasn’t a Republican alive that could have won that election.

Until the Dems run out of other people's money to play Santa Claus, we may never win one again.

Hugh Hewitt is not a closet Democrat. He is a Conservative, but not a rock ribbed as Myself or even that guy Levin. He is however susceptible to the idea of getting the middle ground mushes and Romney gets the Independent mushes. He can't get the Conservatives though.

I like Hugh's show, because he has interesting guests. However, he is obsessed with Romney for president. He was beating the Romney drum before anybody. Maybe he wants his book reprinted.

In a country of 320 millions, we can find another family to run the country. No dynasties. No Clinton, No Bush, No Kennedy, No Obama. Enough is Enough!

CRUZ!

That's where all my campaign donations are going. He's been right on the issues from the get go and hasn't wavered.

He failed to win a single battle groud state 3 years ago and lost by what was basically a landslide. Yes, by all means, that was so close he certainly deserves yet another chance.

Of all the comments here so far, I think you nailed it the best.

It’s all about the changing demographics and the increasing number of people hooked on free stuff, gives the Dems enormous structural advantages in most elections.

It’s precisely why our Founding Fathers set up a limited government republic, not an unlimited government mass democracy.

Ronald Reagan wasn’t Ronald Reagan at the time. He was a great President, certainly the best one in my lifetime, probably the best President in the Twentieth Century. However, he could have done more, he could have eliminated the Education Department and the Energy Department. He could have greatly reduced or eliminated the EPA. He didn't

We need a deep in the bones conservative who can articulate the Conservative cause and isn’t afraid to attack the Demons on the other side.

Maybe, the Pubs don't win the Senate this year and the party turns to the right.

Proof that listening to Hugh Hewitt will shrink your brain.

We've imported a new country - and it doesn't like us.

1988: Bush Sr. wins 53% of the white vote: stomps opponent.

2012: Romney wins 59% of the white vote: gets stomped.

I think McCain should run again-McCain/Romney '16 (/S).
Why settle for a one time loser, when you can have two?
