Come take the Poll...open to guests
Cruz
I voted for the best candidate- Jim DeMint...
No, he wasn’t on the list.
The media’s world has little to do with reality, or is it me?
At 1547ET
Jeb Bush 2 (1.1%)
Chris Christie 2 (1.1%)
Ted Cruz 96 (51.3%)
Mike Huckabee 0 (0%)
Bobby Jindal 2 (1.1%)
Sarah Palin 41 (21.9%)
Rand Paul 23 (12.3%)
Rick Perry 5 (2.7%)
Paul Ryan 2 (1.1%)
Rick Santorum 1 (0.5%)
Donald Trump 1 (0.5%)
Other 4 (2.1%)
Scott Walker 7 (3.7%)
Marco Rubio 1 (0.5%)
Mitt Romney 0 (0%)
The problem that I have with such polls is the following. They arguably help to reinforce the widespread myth that the Oval Office is the most powerful office in the land. The reality is that if low-information voters were brought up to speed on the federal government's constitutionally limited powers then the following would hopefully happen. Citizens would probably lose interest in presidential campaigns and the electoral college would then be used to elect president as the Founding States had intended for it to work.
The bottom line is that patriots need to find a new national soap opera to replace "DC Follies."
If we do not destroy them first.
I doubt it will be Cruz (too inexperienced….one term Senator….people will just say keep Obama….same thing). Paul is a loose cannon and says stupid things. Palin is a possibility.
So the answer is Palin/Walker or Walker/Palin. That is the ONLY way to win.
I’m surprised Scott Walker is so low in the polling...
No one atm.
The media’s world, regardless of perceived political bent, has ZERO to do with reality. It’s not you.
As long as you have a rifle, you still have a vote.
Sorry to say but Sarah Palin is the death knell to any ticket running for POTUS...
Not that I won't vote for her in a second, she is badly damaged goods, which is no fault of hers, the left did a masterful job of destroying her...
A huge percent of this country are basically a notch above idiots and don't bother to even explore the vile disgusting lies the left spews about her...
Not in any particular order:
Walker/ McDaniels
Walker / Brownback
Walker / Kasich
Walker / Martinez (New Mexico Governor)
Why on EARTH do you think we’d win a Civil War? And a coup? Never ... gonna ... happen.
We need real Conservative solutions not “let’s go to war”.
I don’t know why some think there is this lurking Conservative giant out there. There isn’t. This Nation is trending Left and hard. So what we need are leaders that get our word out. The other way sure isn’t working.
Boy did you nail it.
That hot chick from Alaska will do just fine.
Sounds like the previous election.
Re: “I’m surprised Scott Walker is so low in the polling...”
**************
I’m not too surprised -— he’s not been appearing on television nonstop like many of the others — no gimmicks, no nonsense, no bluster, just a hard worker who has done what he said he would do and beaten back a nasty recall at the same time. Oh, and Limbaugh loves him — great interview with him in the latest newsletter.
My vote goes to Walker if he wants to run - proven conservative governor in a very blue state.
I would take any of your suggestions 100 percent.
