“Needless to say, a Republican presidential nomination battle headlined by Paul and Christie would present Republicans with a real “time for choosing,”
A Hobson’s choice. Which turd in the punch bowl would you like?
I agree that Elizabeth Warren is a formidable contender. The nation is just all kinds of primed and ready for some banker lynchings IMO.
Her biggest obstacle will be that nominating a black candidate will prove a one-way valve for the Dems. They’re gonna have a tough time getting their black voter base to go along with nominating a white candidate again. Ever!
Ted Cruz is a formidable candidate, but I once again expect the RINOS to rig the primaries to produce a RINO nominee.
If Ted Cruz can beat the beltway RNC, he’s got the mettle to win the general election. The former is ruthless when it comes to taking out conservatives, just as much as the Dems.
I am absolutely not voting for any Republican who does not actively advance the Tea Party agenda on all key issues including immigration.
If this country is going down the tubes (and it is), then the GOPe can go down with it.
The base needs to make it absolutely clear to the RINOs that they will not be getting our support under ANY circumstances.
My bet is on Warner. I don’t think Hillary will run—she will run out of gas quick once the Bengazi thing gets out—Too much bagage. Obama might well be forced out of office, like Nixon was—if more scandals crop up—and Biden will be President. He will select Hillary as his VP to fill out the term. My eye is on Rand Paul, he has his fathers base and a good firm tea party backing, if he should pick Lee or Cruz as his VP it will be a hard ticket to beat—especially if the Democrats are tarnished by more scandal and lose the MSM.
I count a dozen US Presidents who were former Generals. Are there any 21st Century Generals who know how to keep their pants on? At least in front of the cameras?
Notice how the table includes “eligibility questions” for Ted Cruz but not for Marco Rubio... I wonder why..
And neither did the table include “eligibility questions” as a key disadvantage for Governor Jindal.
Sabato consults crystal ball for 2016 Presidential candidates — Scott Walker and Paul Ryan mentioned.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
FWIW, Ryan won the popular vote from participants in the recent Ozaukee County Fair straw poll. Walker cme in 2nd. Ran Paul was 3rd, following n a distant tie for 4th between Rubio and Jeb Bush.
It wasn't the scandals that forced Nixon from office (which by Clinton and Obama scandal standards weren't even all that bad), it was that there votes were there for impeachment. They aren't there now. Sorry, but I'm afraid that the only way Obama is leaving before January 2017 is an Act of God.
Cruz: “Disliked on both sides of the Senate aisle”
There’s your winner. You know you’re doing something right when both Reid/Boxer/Schumer and McConnell/Alexander/McCain dislike you.
Rand is an outsider compared to Christie and I would go with Paul.
I agree more with Paul than Christie any day of the week.
If Christie wins the GOP nomination regardless of the running mate I will not vote for him.
NO MORE VOTES FOR RINO’S.....
Runt Paul = Open borders, dope, queer marriage, dope, Amnesty, dope.
Once he had the nomination he would adopt the rest of the Liberaltarian platform.
RE: queer marriage
Actually he wants GOVERNMENT out of the marriage business. He personally is against it.
Runt Paul and Christy Creame are both turds in the punch bowl.
I won’t vote for either liberal.
Why doesn’t Mike Pence make these lists?
“Actually he wants GOVERNMENT out of the marriage business. He personally is against it.”
Funny, that’s the exact same line the liberals use.
RE: Ozaukee County Fair straw poll. Walker cme in 2nd. Ran Paul was 3rd, following n a distant tie for 4th between Rubio and Jeb Bush.
The table states that one of the key disadvantages of Scott Walker is : “Might not deliver home state”
My question is WHY? He won TWO consecutive elections IN HIS HOME STATE.
I’m not a Libertarian, but I could live with certain aspects of it if the alternatives were more Dem Socialists or the two-timing Christie.
