With the parade of Republican nominees stepping onto the stage in Cleveland and using social media to reserve their place at the electoral starting gate, the candidates read as an anthropological study of the Grand Old Party.

From establishment favored moderates like former Florida Governor Jeb Bush to Tea Party favorites like Texas Senator Ted Cruz, the first debate stage in Cleveland will serve as a lesson in the progression of the Republican Party from Eisenhower onward.

No one can win the nomination as the GOP unless they come from the South. Reagan was a giant exception, and there is no Reagan in the field.

This article is pointlessly long-winded. Texans vote for the anointed RINO in the GOP presidential primary.

You are a weird one, fella

On what planet

Texas is so late in the process that it hardly matters by the time it gets here.

“This article is pointlessly long-winded. Texans vote for the anointed RINO in the GOP presidential primary.”

Yes, but from what state did the GOP candidate come from??

the whole idea is that no one in the Republican, party can win the Presidency unless they come from the South, not that the State of Texas supports the ultimate winner of the Presidency.

Where in the world did you get that idea anyway?

With a jumble of rule changes for this cycle, Texas was in a perfect situation to play RINO spoiler with a March 15 winner take all primary. Now why do you suppose they stuck with proportional representation in a tangle of other proportional states?

Especially if the RINO is from Texas.

How unfortunate. my sympathies.

It still matters how you address the living.

As a supposed recruiter, you need to be a bit more empathic on your chosen words.

Go back and read it. It was obviously a joke. There never was a “president” Romney or Dole.

I like it.

Next to this, democrat debates are going to seem like watching the candidates quietly eating pudding.
