Don't shoot the messenger. I know this is not what Freepers want to hear. But nobody else in the GOP has stepped up to the plate. There is no Ronald Reagan waiting in the wings. It's going to be another "my turn again" election cycle: Mitt vs Hillary.
Most Freepers are buzzing about Ted Cruz but I don't see Cruz gaining traction outside our circle. We like him but most others don't. Same deal with Sarah Palin. Would love to see her as our next president but it's just not going to happen.
Nobody has yet stepped up to the plate by September of 2014, just before the midterm elections?
Golly gee, Romney must be the man then.
Not very subtle are you?

I really like Scott Walker right now, at least as far as I can 'like' someone who has not formally announced for anything, and won't for at least another half year.
Then get ready to call the Arkansas Medusa Madame President.
I disagree, we haven’t nominated anyone with conservative credentials since 1984 so how would we know?
We had Bush41 run on Reagan’s record and promptly toss it away with his kinder gentler crap and a huge tax increase. Dole was the poster boy for GOPE congressional produced mush. Bush 43 ran on his compassionate conservative BS and scrapped by and I mean scrapped by, mainly because Gore and Kerry were insufferable but he was no raging conservative. Then we get McIsain, what is there to say about this lunatic, but if you hadn’t had Palin on the ticket his humiliation would have been even worse. Then another GOPE handpicked poodle Romney who couldn’t even beat Carter II!
The GOPE is the reason why we keep getting mush for nominees, Reagan controlled the party for 8 yrs. and they hated every minute of it and no doubt many vowed they would never relinquish that power again and haven’t. They control all the levers of power in the Party and those who think you can take over the GOP from within are smoking something they probably shouldn’t be, it’s not going to happen.
