Who here actually thinks that Rand Paul beats Ted Cruz?

Scott Walker WILL BE the 2016 Republican candidate.

His BIGGEST PROBLEM will be overcoming the 'hysterical females' problem where policy, past record, or pedigree DO NOT MATTER. This is a HUGE problem for the Republican candidate to overcome.. HUGE:

Would be nice but Scott Walker has beat expectations with his momentum.

The Democratic nomination appears fairly straightforward. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is now the prohibitive favorite. If her early stumbles during her book tour, or remarks like the one she made about being "dead broke" after leaving the White House, or impulses such as her inexplicable need to tell an audience of car dealers how many years it had been since she was behind the wheel, were to continue, that could change. (The question is whether she is merely rusty or whether she has truly lost her fastball.) For now, though, let's say there's a 90 percent chance that she'll win the Democratic nomination, and a 10 percent chance that the nod will go to someone else—currently in the mix or not.

LOL, Charlie doesn't even mention the private email system that subverted the national security system and can be used as direct evidence of treason on an absolutely unprecedented scale, literally offering up every classified document in the US government going though the office of the Secretary of State to foreign countries, multinationals and hackers.

But to Democrats - it's beneath notice.

Let's see if their stonewalling works this time.

Charlie’s got lots of columns to write before anything he says has any basis in anything

....I do believe Ted Cruz is the smartest of the lot....still months from deciding....however, don’t let the MSM make up your mind for you...can’t believe much of what they print or the pundits say. All candidates need to talk about the United States Constitution....so far crickets.

There are odds in Vegas casinos where people must put up real money. Where are those numbers?

Not to mention the political website that does the same.

A large proportion of them will swoon over ANYONE that the TV and their friends approve of. Hillary isn't cute, telegenic, polite, or talented. Her ONLY connection to the Swooners is the worship by the TV because she is a woman. That will bring out more of the feminzis than the Swooners.

Here are numbers from Paddy Power, a real on-line bookie operating in Ireland, where book making is legal. (They don’t take American bets)

Jeb Bush 6/4
Marco Rubio 9/2
Scott Walker 5/1
Rand Paul 6/1
Chris Christie 6/1
Paul Ryan 12/1
Ted Cruz 16/1
Bobby Jindal 25/1
Rick Perry 25/1

There are many more with worse odds.
Gov. Arnold is 80/1 - and of course is Constitutionally ineligible. Maybe some European Freepers can make some money on this.

I don’t think Walker will win the nomination. I think Bush will. That’s just the way Republican nominations work or at least how they’ve worked since Reagan finished. As much as I’d like to see Ted Cruz, or Walker, get the nomination I don’t think it’s going to happen

I love that picture. Always reminds me of a Bill Clinton rally.

Agreed. The Cheap Labor Express has already paid the RNC for an amnesty candidate.

I hope I’m wrong, but nobody thought McCain would be nominated in 2007 after pushing amnesty TWICE.
Or the author of Romneycare in 2012, essentially undermining the top issue.

The RNC/GOP are going to deliver another amnesty candidate as they have for the past 4 elections.

We will not be allowed to elect a President who will stop the invasion.

and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina also competing for this slot in the Final Four.

How in the Hell is she still being talked about? Nobody I know that worked under her was impressed with her at all.

What odds on not making it to the elections at all?
