Lindsey Graham was whining about [fill in the blank].
FioRino is drawing Hillary-like crowds, so I don’t buy the poll numbers.
Trump continues to draw them wherever he goes.
Until other candidates can do the same, they are also-rans.
I didn’t know that ... but it’s not necessarily a gay characteristic that’s weird about him, hard to put a finger on.
Bingo!
Personally, I cut all Governors from the beginning. They can run but they are not under consideration by me.
I think Gilmore was told he would not be allowed to take part (even in the “kids’ table” debate).
That’s a counterintuitive position. Governor is regarded as the closest thing to President and thus the best qualifier.
Walker (who’s out I’m sure you’re heard) and Jindal were 2 of the best choices imo.
The other Governors though, no.
The problem with Governors is that they have to deal with the real world, which inevitably ends up involving compromise. Yes, that’s also true for Presidents. I would rather start with a President who doesn’t come up into office already compromised. Then he or she might be trusted to uphold conservative principles for most of a full term before the certain sellout comes. Under no circumstances should a conservative President seek a second term. They should pass the torch to another principled leader.
Now that's an interesting take. Given how 2nd terms for GOP Presidents usually go and those 6th year midterms.
