Walker-Cruz.......hhhmmmmm. I like it. That would give us 16 years. I like that too.

"The fiery Texas senator told his audience he was trying to reassemble the “Reagan coalition” that would span the party from libertarians to social conservatives."

If he omits the Reagan democrats, he loses. The guy who captures the Reagan democrats is the winner and I didn't hear that guy.

I agree with that but the 2 elitists are trying to send us back to the back of the bus as conservatives.

Sarah gave a lousy speech this time. Really lousy.

Maybe you should actually watch it, if you still think it was lousy then your political sense is damaged by to much GOPe medicine.

I agree with that but the 2 elitists are trying to send us back to the back of the bus as conservatives.

From the looks of the Palin bashing on these threads, most are more than willing to go to the back of the bus on their own.

I think he meant Reagan was second at The GOP convention in 1976 and then won in 1980. but he got confused on Dole. He won in 1996 not 92.

Fund gets confused. Santorum won Iowa in 2012 not 2008. Mike Huckabee won Iowa in 2008.

Three people that Fox News will use I don't trust for telling me who is the front runner in a political race:

Professor Larry J Sabato

Political Analyst Michael Barone

And

Political Consultant Karl Rove

Muting them when they come on too!
