In a new poll of likely Republican primary voters nationwide by Zogby Analytics, 2012 GOP nominee Romney leads the pack with 14%, followed by former Florida Governor Jeb Bush (12%), Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (10%), New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (8%), former Arkansas Governor and now Fox News Host Mike Huckabee (7%), Florida Senator Marco Rubio (7%), Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (5%), Rep. and former Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan (4%), Texas Governor Rick Perry (4%), Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (3%), Texas Senator Ted Cruz (3%), South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (2%), former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum (1%), and both Ohio Senator Rob Portman and New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez tied at .3%.
If Cruz is the lone conservative, and all 3 prominent RINO’s run, that will guarantee a Cruz win. Because against 3 opponents dividing votes, the conservative only needs 40% of votes to win .
So it's a safe bet you'll be supporting Bryan24 for President?
Exactly the way those who foisted Romney upon us planned, which happen to be the same people who planted the usurper in the White House.
Hello President Warren, the first Native Indian Dictator, oops, President.
I pick Walker.
Exactly the same here. Nothing surprises me and I have found after many years it’s easier to be amused instead of losing it.
“So it’s a safe bet you’ll be supporting Bryan24 for President?”
Raise $750,000,000 and I’ll register as a Republican and run for president.
Seriously, there are a LOT of people who support those ideas. I’d say the majority of the country does.
Use to think differently but now days, I do believe that money will prevail. So, buckle your belts, the big money spender is your new selection for President.
Yes, Democracy is a nice concept but can be beaten with enough money it seems...
You pick Walker, I pick Cruz, Freeper-A picks Huckabee, Freeper-B picks Perry, Freeper-C picks Pence.
Above is a sure fire formula to hand the nomination to Jeb Bush.
If conservatives want to win nomination, hold your nose and UNITE behind one conservative candidate, whoever is ahead after IA, NH & SC.
Otherwise Jeb wins by dividing the conservative votes.
Rinse and Repeat of 2012. Newt & Ricky refused to unite till the bitter end, clearing the path for he Mittster.
Unity by conservatives, fielding and supporting one single candidate will be more powerful than all the money GOPe can spend on one of the 3 RINO’s.
Economy will not collapse before November 2016. The central bank (FED) has power to create unlimited amounts of money electronically. They do not even need paper and ink anymore.
The game will go on until all the money is transferred into pockets of the top 0.1%. Only then they will crash the economy to consolidate their gains. Because at theat stage they will have all of the money. They can buy and own every asset in the country.
horse crap!!!!!
Do you believe the Fed’s electronic money printing can go on forever?
Fed printing, whatever amount it takes, has been going on since 2008. The problem is they can NOT stop. FED has already used up their most potent weapon, interest rates, which have been ZERO for 5 years already. And economy still is tepid at best. If FED stops printing, where will the US Treasury get the money to cover Trillion dollar deficit spending year after year?
FED printing can only stop after the US dollar loses all value and there is complete implosion of US economy. Only then people will wake up from the legal marijuana high and may be, just may be elect a sane set of politicians who will balance the budgets.
The greatest danger to USA is not Russia, China, Ebola, ISIS, Muslims, or Global warming. The greatest danger is the national debt. It is growing faster than our ability to pay back principal and interest. All superpowers in history met their demise by overspending and foreign military adventures on borrowed money. We are well on the way.
I totally agree.
When will the “music” stop? Before the fall of 2016, or after?
So many possible scenarios, and I don’t have foresight. All I know is that we are in a mess, and I can’t see any peaceful way out of it. I am sad.
“Unity by conservatives, fielding and supporting one single candidate will be more powerful than all the money GOPe can spend on one of the 3 RINO’s.”
GOPe won’t spend it all on the Rinos. They’ll spend part of it to keep at least 3 conservatives in the race.
They gotta be kidding. But there's people who'll buy anything.
What does that mean?
I have wondered many times if either one of Newt & Ricky were kept in the race by the GOPe to divide conservative voters and clear the path for their real choice, Romney.
Divide and conquer is a very old and successful strategy.
