The Republican Who Can Win
PJMedia ^ | 3/1/2015 | Andrew Klavan

I sincerely wish that GOP candidates who cannot win the presidency would simply not run and save us all the trouble. Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Lindsey Graham, Rick Perry — none of these people is going to be the next president of the United States and each of them could do his country and his party a service by staying out of the race. Rand Paul and Mike Huckabee both stand a slim shadow of a ghost of a chance but I wish they’d drop out, too. Presidential Candidate is not supposed to be a prestigious line on your CV. It’s something you become when you think you have a real opportunity to do some good to your native land.

As for those who have a path to victory — Scott Walker, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz — I will now tell you which one is the truly viable candidate, the only Republican who could actually win the general.

The Republican who can win the general is whichever one realizes that he is running against the news media.

The Democrats have nothing. Their presumptive candidate is a corrupt old crone who has lied to and double-dealt this country far too long. Their current president has done us the favor of showing us the utter worthlessness of the leftist agenda. He has made the collective life of the country worse at every level except the executive level. When it comes to the Democrats and their philosophy, the white is coming off the sepulcher.

But while the left has no practical or moral legitimacy and no candidate who can plausibly represent even their empty promises, they do have one weapon left: the news media. NBC News, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post — each one of these corrupt mouthpieces and all their little acolytes and satellites not only speak for the Democrats but seek to destroy anyone who stands against them. We’ve seen the signs in these last weeks as Scott Walker’s star has risen and the Democrat toadies have rushed out to hound him with meaningless questions in hopes of a “gotcha” moment.

Do you believe in evolution? Is Barack Obama a Christian? Does Barack Obama love America? And soon to come: Do you believe in abortion in cases of rape and incest? Even worse, if a Republican candidate fumbles any of these answers, Candy Crowley won’t even rush in to help him out!

Sorry, but it is you pushing the homosexual agenda through Gary Johnson who called Obama too conservative on homosexual issues, to the libertarian party calling for gay marriage and homosexuals adopting, and in the military, and completely open homosexual everything.

And also abortion.

So what is up with you? Why are you pushing what is in posts 91 and 117?

You are killing our country by fighting conservatism and pushing this lefty, anti-God agenda.

Actually you are whining like a pro-homosexual liberal that absolutely, 100% has an agenda, but is blocked by getting specific because you are trolling a conservative site.

Your man Gary Johnson was attacking Obama for NOT wanting a
FEDERAL GAY MARRIAGE law to overcome state laws blocking gay marriage.

Why won’t you discuss his and the libertarian party’s anti-God positions on homosexuality and abortion?

There is no debate, why are you supporting someone so radical on the homosexual issues?

You made such a big deal about homosexuality, and then promote a man who thinks that Obama is too conservative on homosexual issues.

Why?

I followed you all the way down to the last line when you rudely told me to “get over it”. That was unnecessarily offensive. Otherwise, I do see your point and it is not as though I haven’t thought it myself. However, I’d vote for Cruz no matter if he was a Republican or a Tea Party Candidate or started a party with another name.

The problem is not simply the “R” after the name, it is that the liberals are now in control of the party. That’s why the leaders won’t stop Obama with impeachment, government defunding, a charge of treason or whatever else is on the smorgasbord of options to choose from. They are a branch of the government equal in power to the President and most definitely could stop him if they wanted. They don’t want to. They are on his side. It is clear.

There are still good people scattered about within the Republican party, so I am not throwing them all out and if the party would somehow manage to accidentally nominate someone who’s not a rotten ,good ole boy, progressive, socially evolving carcass who hides under his desk or falls to his knees at the mention of Obama’s name, I’d still be willing to vote for that person even if they have an “R”. I just need to see someone with the American spirit in their eyes and fire in their gut and a Constitution in their back pocket that they have actually read and intend to follow.
