The GOP better learn a lesson fast. Run a Rudi and say Howdy Madam President Clinton. ANY moderate the GOP puts up for POTUS then Hillary will run to the right of them and win. Ford lost to Carter. Bush lost to Clinton. Dole who became a moderate lost to Clinton. Bush the moderate would have lost to anyone but Gore who also ran right of Bush. Kerry stayed left which was the reason he lost. Hillary isn't that stupid though and she can talk right. The Ford/Bush era choke hold on the GOP needs to be ended. The two parties are now too close together in platform and it is politically and Constitutionally unhealthy for the nation.
I don't want to vote for any candidates who are not that far apart on issues with the mainstream DEMs and neither does most Republicans and a considerable number of DEMs who also vote conservative.
Agreed! Agreed!
Reading this board makes me think they all forgot the '92/'96 Perot vote. Any moderate Repub is gonna lose. Why vote for a liberal R when you can vote for the real thing? They keep thinking it's gonna work. They pick up the 10% middle and lose 20% of the right. -_-
Heck Perot was in the thick of it till he threw his hissy fit. There are other Perots waiting in the wings for a Rudy run.
Tell you a secret I've learned while working with many women in the nursing business....they are already in the tank for Hillary, they are just waiting for a chance to vote for her. Even women normally generally of a conservative moral bent will be waiting to vote for Hillary because "it's time now for a woman to have her turn".
Logic doesn't play into it....I've pointed out that there were many other qualified women other than Hillary who could be a better candidate, but they just smile and change the subject as women will do when they sense a brewing disagreement or a weakness in their own thinking.
I dare say many conservative men's wives may be in the tank for Hillary, though they'll never say so openly for fear that "my husband will just get mad". They'll just say, "Yes dear, I voted too!", with-out elaborating who they really voted for!
