If you're a 2016 GOP presidential hopeful, watch out for Rep. Peter King's right hook ...

King believes the Republicans don't stand a chance if they put up the wrong candidate against Hillary Clinton.

"I think she's very strong on foreign policy, and I think that if we nominate someone from our isolationist wing of the party, she'll destroy them," King said, putting Sens. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz squarely in the isolationist category ...

Rand Paul is the one who can really put it to hillary about Benghazi and droning people on the foreign enemies list.

And what should pull you straight back to reality about Rand not ever winning the White House is his Amnesty plan.

Ted Cruz tweet awhile ago:

@SenTedCruz: Reaganomics: You start a business in your parents’ garage. Obamanomics: You move into your parents’ garage.

Just sayin.....Peter King needs to hang it up....lol.

Well, since many conservatives wouldn’t turn out to vote for Romney because he didn’t fit their narrow ideological definition, then they probably wouldn’t turn out to vote for Cruz or Paul either. (Just wait, they’ll find some way to get you guys to turn against Cruz, if hs should run).

So, the idiot King is probably right.

Hillary will be 68 in three years. She’s got too much baggage and will be too old.

Didn’t this load threaten to leave the GOP when his district didn’t get post-storm pork fast enough?

Good lord the RINOs are crapping their pants.

Paul didn’t vote for Amnesty, and I think we vastly underestimate the intellect of these gentlemen.

As far as Hillary against another GOPe such as Jeb, Christie, King, etc. I think they underestimate how many of us will say thanks by no thanks. Moderate doesn’t stand a chance unless there is some horrific scandal.

At this point who the f**k cares ... let's get thru the mid-terms. Hillary will not be a factor is 2016 ... health issues will only be part of it ... Benghazi the rest. She's over folks.

Sadly, he’s correct.

In fact, there’s not anyone on the scene now that can beat Hitlery. The sheeple that loved Obama for a 2nd term will push her over the top no matter how bad O’s 2nd term ends up. The middle love her.

Like Rush said after O won, “We are outnumbered and losing ground...” And that hasn’t changed since the election.

Flame away, all who think I’m being pessimistic. It’s reality.

I thought that Rand Paul no longer supports amnesty.

"King believes the Republicans don't stand a chance if they put up the wrong candidate against Hillary Clinton"

I know, let's nominate a weak kneed RINO and let the media tear him to shreds.

"I think she's very strong on foreign policy"

Peter King gives Hillary a big wet RINO kiss.

And he wants to be our nominee?

So, let me get this straight. Peter King is planning on switching to the dem party and running against Hillary cause he thinks he can beat her?

Because that is the only way I could even imagine him running for president. Hillary is the only ‘thing’ coming out of NY that would even have a chance on the national level — not Cuomo, not Nanny Bloomberg, not the Donald and certainly not a two bit RINO congressman like NY’s Peter King.

The Democrats have been too successful playing the identity politics game. This is a game that can be won by Republicans. If they run Hillary, why not run Sarah Palin? Sarah Palin would mop the floor with that hag Hildebeast.

Peter King should go out more.

And learn something useful, from the people.

Used to be our side couldn’t wait to destroy our candidates during the presidential primaries. Now they can’t wait to destroy them more than a year before mid-terms.

You never know how the public will react to a set of candidates. They may love Paul and Cruz.

King was a fool to make this comment. He’s playing the king-maker for the Democrats. How does that serve our side well?

I stil think, she may not even run in 2016, because she wont be with us. If she is, she will get washed out in the primary again.
