I say this is dumb as hell. Condi Rice? Mitch Daniels? TPaw? The retired Ron Paul? Gingrich again?! Why not have me and Bob McDonnell on the freakin’ list? RNC sucks as usual.
Narrow it down to people who are actually going to run instead of people who’ve already declared retirement and those who’ve left the political circuit altogether.
Here is a shortened list of actual candidates.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush
Neurosurgeon and author Ben Carson
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas)
S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (God, please no... no!)
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal
Ohio Gov. John Kasich
U.S. Rep. Peter King (New York)
New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (Kentucky)
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio (Florida)
U.S. Sen. John Thune (S.D.)
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker
And as much as I hate to say it...
Businessman Donald Trump
Granted, some of these are awful, but at least they are actually possibly going to run. Rob Portman? Give me a freakin’ break. The guy is going to be lucky if he wins reelection next time around.
On this list you have 7 governors, 4 senators, 1 crappy representative, and 2 outsider candidates.
Now obviously we can’t have a field of 14 candidates, so this will be whittled down, but its out of these people who ends up on the debate stage.
Susana Martinez..Excellent choice!!!
Carson, Cruz, Haley, Paul, Martinez, and Trump. The rest are RINOs and milquetoasts.
I like your work in whittling down the GOP list to a more realistic list. But why did yo not include sen.Ted Cruz?
Christie and Cruz are the only two who can fight as nasty, hard and dirty as will be necessary, IMHO.
I supported Cain last time, and Walker has shown pretty good political skills and organizational ability, but if anyone thought the Obama machine could fight hard and nasty they ain’t seen nothin compared to Clinton 2.0
Yeah, I hope I’m wrong, too.
CRUZ/CARSON
PERHAPS SINCE THE WACKY AMERICAN PUBLIC HAS BEEN BRAINWASHED INTO THIS MAD INCLINATION TO ADORE MINORITY REPRESENTATION...
ALTHO I’D FEEL BETTER IF BOTH HAD A STRONGER BUSINESS BACKGROUND
Cool your jets, it was the RNC that released the list and to get your vote. But it is not an honest inquiry, they just hope that someone fill it out and sends money, the money is separated from the poll at the mail processing vendor and deposited for them to make their choice while your answered poll goes into the circular file before being processed into the itty-bitty paper bin at mulch masters.
I received mine and sent them a blank sheet of paper in their postage paid envelope.
BTW, dude, you need some remedial education on dirty trick politics.
BTW, here is the link from 1/16 where Beck was already reporting on it. So it was not contrived by this paper I never heard of.
Let me whittle it down even further:
Ted Cruz
Rand Paul
Scott Walker
