Sometimes I think we are the stupid party.
How many candidates do we need to dilute the vote?
And Bush and Rubio are amongst the triumvirate of conservative power??
Lord Help us.
One old white woman and several old white men?
Ths number of candidates is ridiculous.
Sadly the depth of the bench is not always the measure of success.
I could not agree more.
I voted for Perot and look what that got us.
The media won’t like him.
The media will report that 40% of Republicans love Jeb Bush, with everyone else at around 2%, and Jeb is the frontrunner.
What the voters actually believe may be something else altogether.
More garbage from Politico
They all have stars in their eyes because of the 2014 election. They figure whoever gets the nod in 2016 will win the Presidency. Of course the end result will be to clear the way for Jeb.
The felony-stupid party.
Indeed.
Walker is far more in step with conservative ideals
It only says triumvirate in referring to those seeking the White House, not ‘of conservative power.’ And those 3 seem to poll consistently highest, certainly among GOP candidates. Who can push whom out? At this stage of the game, polling mostly reflects name ID.
It is far to early but I worry that we are over saturating and diluting our brand.
Maybe Ron Paul will toss his hat in the ring again...
Donald Trump has....
There is a big difference between having many choices in a primary and having a spoiler run as a third party candidate in a general election.
True enough.
Anyhow I think we are over saturating the field, and I have to hit the pillows.
So standing up for religious liberty and the First Amendment is pandering? How about just standing up for what is right, regardless of whether it is popular?
At a certain point those who aren’t getting traction/funding will withdraw. I think it’s great that the GOP has such a wide range of folks willing to take on the challenge, enter the fray, and have their say. By February it’ll be down to a manageable number.
Beats the D’s having only one, basically uncontested, candidate. Whatever advantage she holds by not having competition will be gone once the R nominee is chosen. She wears thin mighty fast.
Standing up for the first amendment is not pandering, its their whole purpose
If only they can resist forming a circular firing squad (call way too optimistic).
I can hardly wait for the circular firing squad on national TV while she smirks /s
