Thw Washington Post attempts to annoint the Graceful Loser they so desire in 2016
That's no way to refer to Chris Christie......
Exactly right - so what about those who would not vote for Romney.
Mike Pence. Governor of Indiana. Previously a Congressman from Indiana.
Great, 13 names and only one Conservative I will vote for - Ted Cruz. If Allen West’s name was on the list, I would vote for him too.
No one else possesses the stones necessary to fix all of obungholes messes, foreign and domestic.
The DC Compost has officially given us our choices? The real problem is that the country-clubbers will use that same list.
Cruz is the only potential candidate I’ve heard who articulately and assertively addresses issues by the right or wrong in them, no equivocation or qualification.
This guy Cillizza is an empty-headed agitator, nothing more. He should be ignored.
We must coalesce around the ONE likely CONSERVATIVE nominee early, and let the RINOs split THEIR votes.
I recommend Cruz because he’s straight conservative on all issues of which I’m aware, and sells conservatism well.
It would be best to find the candidate who is straight conservative, because all conservatives can rally to him (or her) early because he holds their single-issue correctly, and attract all other conservatives too.
We have to avoid wild-eyed folk with no experience, etc.
I’m open to other opinions as to candidates. But right now:
I’M WITH CRUZ.
Thoughts?
Loaded question indeed!
The romneybots and bootlickers for the bush dynasty are already swinging into gear. The republican branch of the democrat party, along with the compliance of their MSM lackeys, courtesy of the democrats (RINO high five to their democrat backers, and borrowing their media machine), want one party rule. The republican party should change their name to the TOKEN party.
The eGOP has already anointed Jeb as the candidate.
They will give all their support and none to the other candidates. This will give Jed the lead.
I am done with the eGOP. I voted this year and they got my vote for Senate and House as we need those and their candidates were the better pick, but no one else in the eGOP got my vote.
Its time for the usual RINO divide-and-conquer strategy against the conservatives, with a RINO ending up winning the nomination.
Its too bad that the conservative candidates cannot or will not sacrifice their own egos for the good of the country and unite behind one consensus conservative candidate in the primaries.
Some 2 dozen wannabes could be making noise. Look for a lot of activity right after the November election.
This next presidential election will cost over $1 Billion for each major party nominee. Thus, the money brokers will probably be the deciding factors in who runs. Those who cannot muster a list of strong financial backers early on will be forced to drop out early.
Will the conseratives shoot themselves in the foot again by running after a half-dozen or so wannabes who split the conservative vote and make the GOPelite preferred the nominee by default? Probably, yes.
At this point in the last cycle my money was on Tim Pawlenty to be the nominee. Precisely because he was
a colorless RINO.
Anyone know or care to speculate why Allen West is not on the list? I do not have a clue.
Crap... they’re going to run 4 conservatives and a RINO.
Other than that, every single name on the list lacks the credibility on liberty issues to overcome the Left's complete takeover of the culture. See Mark Steyn's latest column for a full explanation of why. If the GOP doesn't play a totally different hand this time, they are done as a force in US politics.
Honestly, Jeb Bush would do better than all of the others listed due to name recognition, though that very name recognition would also be a strong motivator for the opposition.
As usual conservatives must ride in the back of the bus. Cruz is in the media regularly yet these polls consistently show he is invisible.
