So did the GOP (with a new infsion of Tea Partiers) learn anything after 2008? That maybe the big name RINOS really do suck and regularly get heir asses handed to them in an election. Are we going to go conservative this time or settle for another loser with a “name”?
We can go conservative without a Congressman. Its a matter of reality, Congressmen dont even get delegates in a meaningful number. They can be perfect ideologically, but they dont produce results.
There are some good Conservatives in the Senate/Governor ranks, and our nominee will come from that bench or a businessman like Trump or Cain.
In the Senate, we have:
Sessions-Al
Risch-Id
Johanns-Ne
Hoeven-ND
Inhofe-Ok
Coburn-Ok
DeMint-SC
Enzi-Wy
In Governors, we have:
Parnell-Ak
Brewer-Az
Otter-Id
Daniels-In
Brownback-Ks
Jindal-La
Barbour-Ms
Christie-NJ
Perry-Tx
McDonnell-Va
Walker-Wi
Those, combined with retirees like Palin and Santorum, and businessmen like Cain and Trump, are going to be the candidates our nominee comes from.
