If you had to vote in your state primary/caucus today, knowing what you know now about the various declared and probable candidates, who would you vote for? Why? Who would you like to see as the running mate for your preferred candidate? If you could help staff your candidates cabinet and other top appointments, who would you choose? If you could recommend different congressional leaders than we have now, who would they be? And who would you like to see on the Supreme Court and why? And finally, feel free to donate to Free Republic.
The strategy of the GOPe, yes. Truly, they are earning their nickname of the Stupid Party, are they not?
What’s that nasty remark supposed to mean?
Don't you read the N.Y. Post ?
Can you source that AW, or is that an estimate?
As much as I bitched about Romney, I still voted for him.
BabyDaddy for lesbians, and his bandmates... what could possibly go wrong?
Other than that, nope, I can't think of one either.
That’s now, but prebably that would change somewhat if everyone on this thread were pinged. :’) Trump-Cruz 2016/2020 means Cruz-whomever 2024/2028 — but I’ll be happy to vote for either of them at the top of the ticket.
Ronald Reagan lost his first nomination, IIRC.
I'm not all that knowledgeable re some "music", but very knowledgeable about other other forms of it. I know who that group was, but don't know that song and am not going to waste my time bothering to click on a that link. :-)
OTOH, that poster just PROVED how EMOTIONAL and irrational some Cruz supporters are, by ignoring my fact laced post.
I already posted that. GMTA
Correct. I'm just noting that when the candidate is a bona fide "celebrity," but otherwise unknown in a popular election: they ALWAYS win.
Eeek, I just found this!
TRUMP all the way!
Like JFK ?
Not that he was an actual “celeb”, but the papers and MSM made him out to be one.
I truly cannot put in the time now, as it is 2:00 in the AM here, to find you a link; it is a recollection of an estimate I heard around the time of the last election, and was discussed a good bit here on FR — the number of registered conservative voters who did not turn out in that election. Some blamed it on the candidate’s Mormonism, others on his having deployed RomneyCare in Massachusetts; etc. Taking the size of the population as a whole, it doesn’t sound too far-fetched, since he, like McCain, was anointed by the GOPe and the media, not by The People. Sorry. Usually I’m a demon for detail. Ask me in a couple of days. I have a killing schedule this week.
And so should all of us!
Threads don’t run in a straight line.
I understand. You’re funnybone died.
Cruz
No. Democrats become default celebrities because of the media. I'm talking about genuine celebrity personalities. Reagan, Ventura, Schwarzenegger, Grandy, Bono, Eastwood, etc....
No, they don’t.
