There were a lot of reasons for Pat Buchanan's loss.

In my opinion, the only reason he performed so well in 1992 and 1996 was because of his position on immigration.

In fact, it could be argued that his opposition to illegal immigration-and to a lesser extent, his position on trade-was the sole reason he succeeded to any degree in those presidential primaries.

What we need is another candidate of the caliber of Pete Wilson or Alan Simpson-perhaps pro-life-who is able to generate enough money-through SMALL donors, the base of the Republican Party, to make a credible run for president.

What we need is decent, likable politician like GWB, that ALSO wants to clamp down on the border.
