"There is no way a far rightist will win election. Did the last two elections not clearly show that the far Right does not elect presidents. Bush was the far to the right of any candidate in the last 40 yrs including Reagan and he barely won."

ROFLMAO!

The most conservative President in our lifetimes was Reagan.

Reagan beat Carter by 8 points and Mondale by almost 20 points!!

These were the widest victories for Republicans since Nixon's wipeout of McGovern.

"Americans simply are not so conservative that a Pence, Tancredo, would have a chance."

Pence is a Reagan Conservative Republican. If Reagan can do it, so can Pence - assuming Pence has the stage presence that Reagan had.

Reagan was no further right than Bush but was far more capable of using the media to communicate directly with the voters.

Plus his opposition was in complete disarray led by the incompetent Carter and the idiotic Mondale. Bush had to face much more formidible forces far better organized and practiced in control of the electorate.

"...assuming Pence has the stage presence that Reagan had." LoL he could be an Einstein too assuming he was as smart.

Pence is not and will not be a serious candidate.
