In the poll, released on Saturday night, [Sott] Walker was the first choice of 15 percent of respondents in the poll, up from 4 percent when the poll was conducted in October. Walker bested Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who was at 14 percent. Mitt Romney was in third at 13 percent; the poll was taken from Monday to Thursday, before he announced his withdrawal from the race. Ex-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee was in fourth with ten percent of voters' support. ...Jeb Bush, who is viewed as the GOP's establishment choice, was only preferred by eight percent of voters. The results held even more bad news for Bush....

When you say “eat our own” I assume you are referring to Jeb Bush. Trust me. If you are willing to vote for Jeb if he becomes the nominee, that is the predicate for him becoming the nominee. We have done this for 16 years. You can continue to bend over and take it where the sun don’t shine but I am done. No candidate for President other than a bona fide conservative will get my vote. If you don’t like it, cancel my vote with your brave vote for Jeb.
Jeb is not “one of our own.”
If you vote for him, he will be.
Yes. He's worse.
FUJB
-———I cant wait to vote for Hillary -——
Hmmm..... were you prevaricating then ?
No candidate for President other than a bona fide conservative will get my vote.
or then?
OK, no GOP candidate other than a bona fide conservative will get my vote. No doubt a big government liberal like Christie or Jeb will get yours. Right?
no of course not, however i do not confuse conservatives with rinos as some are want to do
Don’t misunderstand me. Its you that is the problem. Not the BO voters, not the blacks, not the 78% Jewish vote, not the vote rigging. Its you.
You are a so-called conservative that comes out every four years and votes for a big government liberal like McCain, Romney or Bush. Without counting on your vote, the GOP would not have a chance with these losers. You enable the GOP to count on the so-called conservative vote. Keep it up and you will keep getting what you got. I’m opting out. You are continuing to do what got us 30 years of big government liberals. You can cry about it all you want. If about half of the real conservatives in this country sent this message, you would not have to hold the nose and vote for Romney, Bush or McCain. I will vote for Hillary to punish you and the GOP for continuing this charade.
NO!
YES. By caucus time she was over.
How does one assume that allowing even more consecutive years of a hard Leftist will not pass another tipping point? We are like the Jews - waiting for a savior and missing it or destroying any who might fit the bill at least on a scale that might make a difference. The meme that a weak conservative, or a conservative with one or two warts, is no different than the hard core Leftists that benefit from such thoughts is the less sane assumption.
And, here I thought you had actually gotten the message that your willingness to hold your nose when the time comes is the problem. Too bad.
I know after 15 years here on FR that there are a lot of moderate Republicans like yourself who think things need not be taken to extremes. You have your place here and I am not going to try to convince you again. You will vote for Jeb Bush when the time comes.
Your pathetic personal insults reveal the last desperate cry of a failed argument. The territory of a frustrated loser. Wise up and stick to something that matters. Like your vote for Jeb.
Not waiting for a savior, but what exactly can be done? I was just reacting to the idea that we can sit out another election because we are mad at Republicans.
It’s really hard to start compromising and justifying two years out.......
