Disagree. The base will just focus down-ballot..winning the Senate, increasing the House margin, and pickign up several governors slots..If Mitt gets the nomination, and we run a conservative as a 3rd party candidate, we give Obama the win. Just as easy to not vote for him, and a lot cheaper..devote our resources to the key senate/House races, andd we have the same result, we final bury the GOP country club establishment//
This is a blatant falsehood per the public documents. I hope a lawsuit is incoming. That seems to be the only way to fight back.
They both have two eyes. They both have toenails.
That is how I am seeing this article. But to say they both come in “inexperienced” while ignoring the more important comparison of what experience they do bring (ex-ceo vs ex-community organizer). The article is rife with it.
And Obama is a LOUSY orator. I am convinced that if not for going “all teleprompter all the time” he would not have been elected.
This guy is another Romney booster. He doesn’t care about anything other than winning and replacing Lenin with Stalin is not the solution this country needs.
Supporting Republicans down-ballot isn’t in conflict with voting 3rd - party for the Presidency.
I’m not saying I would support a third party. But if Mitt wound up the nominee - especially if he got it by Democrats voting for him in open primaries, which is the most likely scenario - frustration will likely boil over.
That’s my reading of the situation. YMMV. My predictions of the future don’t always come true.
If you listen to Cain’s full answer to the question about China, he was speaking of developing nuclear powered aircraft carriers.
If not Cain, who is your candidate in the primary?
Another thought. If Mitt wins the nomination, which of the current candidats do you think would agre to run as a third party candidate?
Good question. A lot depends on whether it’s a “rogue” third-party candidacy, or a genuine party schism like the original Whig-Republican break-up. I think there’s a possibility of it being the latter; at some point the base will just give up on the current Republican party. Conservatives walking out will make RINOs happy; they think they can then recruit disaffected moderate Democrats and rule from the center. (Note: THEY think that; I don’t)
If it’s a “rogue” third party, I’d hope none the current candidates would do such a thing - although I could Ron Paul going that way. If the latter, I’d think quite a few might transfer loyalty to the new “conservative” conservative party.
Yep.
I like Rush Limbaugh’s take on it. Obama is the least experienced, least knowledgeable person in any room he happens to be in. That is definitely not the case with Cain, or any of the other Republican candidates for that matter.
Ah, how to say...
...but given this is Matt Drudge we're talking about, it would make more sense to switch the Josh Brolin & Christina Hendricks roles with each other.
(Ahem.)
