RE: She has been tried, and she failed, she was never a serious candidate.
DISAGREE. She has NOT BEEN TRIED AT ALL.
RE: Conservatives have plenty of will but that has little to do with Bachmann, you may remember how conservatives gave up on her when she stated attacking governor Palin, she also didn’t help herself with that Todd Akin debacle.
Palin had her gaffes too. And her giving up on the governorship before her term was up didn’t help her at all.
But that does not make Palin a non-serious candidate.
So, gaffes or not ( and people do have them ), I’d take Bachmann over the lot that we just mentioned BECAUSE of her principles. I am not looking at perfection, just somebody who will FIGHT for conservative principles and policies.
So, let me summarize, if Cruz or Palin were to run, I’d choose either of them over Bachmann. But if neither of them were to run and we had the list I mentioned vs. Bachmann, I’d choose Bachmann.
And I hope people like you won’t sit home IF she were the candidate because the alternative (e.g. Hillary or Warren ) will be a another debacle like what we have now.
TO be fair, whether someone likes Palin or not, the frivolous lawsuits that SHE HAD TO pay out her own pocket were too much for any governor. The Dems knew that.
Just like Murkowski knew that she could buy off the Indian tribes, even though she just missed Joe Miller the night he won the primary.
I didn’t mention any gaffes, I said that she hired Ed Rollins and started attacking Governor Palin.
Bachmann has been tried, and she failed, you can’t appoint her into power, she has to convince people that she belongs there.
Do you think she could ever be a Governor? Why doesn’t she run for it?
