-No more open primaries. Republicans should select Republican Presidential candidates.
-No more Blue State candidates. Both McCain and Romney talked about "reaching across the aisle"...I want a Presidential candidate who wants to Democrats to compromise THEIR principles.
-No more candidates over the age of 60. George W. Bush was 54 when he won as President. The other GOP losers were 68, 73, 73, and 65 respectively. NO MORE OLD GUYS.
-Start the GOP ground game NOW. B. Hussein kept non-stop campaigning from the first time he was elected. The GOP needs to begin their 2016 ground game NOW.
- The GOP pollwatcher movement needs to be much stronger. Quite frankly, we were told this election would be "the most important election of our time". Yet, the GOP leadership is treating this as just another election cycle. "Why, sure we wanted to win, but I'm SOOO looking forward to eating the new French brie at Ben Bradlee and Sally Quinn's next soiree, hee hee hee."
The 2012 election wasn't about "reaching the undecided voters"...it was about getting your base out. While Romney was chasing "undecided" rabbits down holes, B. Hussein was getting his base out and to the polls...twice or more if necessary.
Oh, and one more thing...the Democrats in Congress "are not my good friends from across the aisle"...they're the ENEMY. Those bastards destroyed the greatest economy the world has ever seen, and now they want to turn us into a 3rd World $hit hole, with them in the Dachas while ruling over us. F'THEM!
Iowa chose Santorum. What’s your excuse for not supporting Santorum. You had a choice - you chose otherwise.
-Need to stop opening our primaries in Iowa and New Hampshire. (I noticed how that you listed that one first, BTW.)
Take it from a lifelong Iowan who wishes it were otherwise: this is no longer the Iowa of "State Fair," "The Music Man," or any other nostalgic, feel-good make-believe. The un-gentrified older sections of many larger towns looks like West Chicago or Rockford, the land is divided into far fewer - but far larger - farms, and most paychecks are dependent on some form of tax collected from someone else.
The GOP needs to kick these two underachieving states to the curb tout suite.
Mr. niteowl77
A number of great suggestions - hope you get a few of them included into the next round of primaries.
I think Ronald Reagan was older than any of the ones mentioned. Being an old fogie myself, WWII vet, I tend to think that with some people there is wisdom with age. Of course age without energy is not good for a POTUSA. Reagan was an exceptionally active person.
all good but the old guy issue..although mid 50s seems a good age
there have been excellent over 60 guys...Reagan for one
and that obscure guy who chopped down the cherry tree..aged 57-65
Old Tom was nearly 59-67 years of age in the White House
Madison 58-66
Monroe 50-67
Younger presidents have gotten us in trouble...watching Ryan in that silly debate with Biden I knew then that even if ideologically cool he might not have the IT FACTOR just yet for our all video campaigning
We need someone to fight the media and carry the base...mainly conservative white voters...those few minority voters with us really don’t matter...their votes are lost in safe red states and safe blue states and we cannot turn enough of them on a dime to matter...they now voting what they are...dependent anti white bums
middle of the road whites are capturable and there are enough to matter
and don;t let them pin red state on us arbitrarily...they did not want to be stuck with red so the media pinned us with it
biggest enemy...the media people here claim is irrelevant
Obama survives because of them...he is a vampire...they keep the daylight off him
