What is power??? If you define power as to who sits in the WH, that is a fairly narrow view...

We have bigger problems if we do not clean up, and maintain our houses, first and foremost...The Presidency means nothing in a depressed economic, and socially unstable environment we have right now...

Sure, your concern about our condition in 7 years may be the one thing we risk...But it is at a precipice anyway, as we speak...It is not anymore a risk to position ourselves for a more viable political push for the CEO position in 2020, as it is to waste our efforts in a vain attempt in 2016...

We have TWO fronts to defeat in this race to restore our country...One is the obvious liberal/socialist/media complex...And TWO, the entrenched republican leadership and its moderate and feckless leadership...

As much as I feel it would be great to knock them off together, it is better to waste one at a time, and let the other wither on the vine by making that one a non-factor in the near future...

Our efforts and premium political talents whould be held in reserve until we knock off the foundation of their opposition, and discredit their effectiveness by keeping the ceremonial head of state as powerless as possible as they may still have a little teeth to protect their legacy, for now...

Controlling the legislative side of the equation forst is a better path, in my opinion at this time, as we have already seen from the last two efforts forced upon us by the moderates in the leadership of the republicans, from the likes of McCain and Romney to lose it all, for the sake of popularity without a real chance of winning in the first place...

I say lets rope a dope, give them Christie to chew on, but win the legislative branch first, get that secured, and decimate the agenda, and destroy their poster child Hillary in the best way possible...At the same time, the media complex that will hold her water anyway...

If Christie were to some how win the Presidency, and we not do anything to gain our foothold in the trenches in the legislative branch, that will produce ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, to correct the situation for conservatism and our country in the near-term...And it will be difficult to gain conservative control and purge ourselves as much as possible of the RINO factor infecting the Legislative branch now...

We are going to have to open our minds up to more posibilities, politically and socially, outside the idea of winning just the WH, and forgetting once again that the purse strings and legislation that is continuing to destroy this country is happening right now, in our current situation...

We will not lose if Hillary beats Christie in 2016, and we gain (and maintain) the majorities in both houses leading up to 2020...It will bode better for us in the long term...

Sure she can appoint, or nominate Judges, but they still have to go through the committees that we will control during that time...

Want to have Christie and the feckless wonders who have successfully been throwing us under the bus for the last 20 some odd years produce moderate and capitulating nominees to those positions just because we want to somehow fel better politically oif we win the WH right now???

And that’s just the Judges...What about the legislation Christie will roll over and sign, because of bi-partisan, play nice to get along crap, we have seen recently???

I do not believe we can win both houses, and the Presidency in 2016, in this particular political and social environment, it will never be allowed...By both sides...

I believe we stand a better chance of keeping our Aces in the hole for one more cycle, let them have Christie, or whomever, as political fodder, and make gains in the legislative branch in 2014 and 2016...Use 2018 a a stepping stone for the big one in 2020...

I assure everyone that the risk, politically, is palletably for that timeframe...I know everyone would like to really stick it to the democrats and GOPe right this second, I can dig it...I really do...But the social environemnt is the third factor, that has not been included in these discussions either...And we have NO chance without maintaining and making gains in the states and what is sent to DC to set the stage for a better environment for our hand in 2020...

Just my opinion...
