A sane and sober candidate would run on a variety of issues.
The country needs a 180 degree turn to end the annual defecits in our budgets and to stop increasing the national debt.
The GOP leadership is not fully committed to those ideas yet. Paul Ryan had the best ideas I’ve heard of but the rest are not into dramatically downsizing federal spending.
I strongly agree. A candidate who runs solely on abortion will get votes, but not enough to win.
"The country needs a 180 degree turn to end the annual defecits in our budgets and to stop increasing the national debt."
Any candidate running against someone else in the primaries and the general election needs to demonstrate clearly that their opponent has not understood those ideas and needs to be replaced by someone who does understand them and will do the utmost to implement them.
"The GOP leadership is not fully committed to those ideas yet. Paul Ryan had the best ideas I’ve heard of but the rest are not into dramatically downsizing federal spending."
Hence my distrust of McConnell and Boehner. Candidates who do not understand the need to downsize the Government, ruthlessly cut spending, and defund all things leftist cannot be worthy of being Tea Party. For the sake of the country, they need to retire and let sincere people rescue this great nation.
