As the political winds are turning to presidential politics in 2016, now is the time for Republicans to start thinking about their ticket. I know it's early, but the top of the Democratic ticket has already been pretty much decided by the mainstream media. It's Hillary and whoever she wants as her veep.
For the Republicans, they will need someone at the top of the ticket who is principled. He'll keep his campaign promises. He must have an economic issue that will resonate with women because men already support the GOP. Women — especially independent women — are the holy grail of a winning national campaign.
In my opinion, it can't be someone from the far right, the Tea Party.

That means Jeb Bush as the presidential nominee and either Scott Walker or Chris Christie as the vice-presidential candidate.
Many will say there is Bush fatigue. Many will say that Christie is not conservative enough. But Christie can attract Northeastern Republicans and Democrats — voters the GOP will need in 2016.

Jeb Bush would push policies that would ensure that 10's of millions more third world Socialist scum will pour across our borders -- Our Republic would forever be changed into a Balkinized third world sewer.
Bracing for FLAMES from the Bush people in here.
I loathed the entire Statist Bush clan as much as I loathe the Statists on the left.
One has to be insane to believe that ANY Bush has ANY respect for our heritage or for our beloved Constitution.
Bingo!
The day Jeb gets the nominee is the day I book an election day vacation trip. How’s Tahiti in early November?
I don’t care what his last name is. In other words, I’m open in theory to some Bush family member being president again.
In theory.
But Jeb? No way I’d support him in a primary. Another McRomney (more Romney than McCain — but with McCain’s LOVE of “look at me, I’m joining with Dems to bash conservatives”).
Barney Bishop is out of his freakin’ mind.
If Jeb Bush is the nominee, he will join Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney as the latest GOP designated loser.
Jeb Bush would be toxic for the GOP with independents and with the GOP base. Not a snowball’s chance.
Since around circa 2000 when I began to lurk here, I would read posts by Freepers who made the decision not to vote at all if it meant compromising their principles. During those elections I still felt that to vote for the lesser of two evils, meaning vote for a RINO or not at all...well, for instance I voted for McCain ONLY because of Sarah Palin, was slightly better than staying home.
I’m one of those who believe the fix is in, because nothing is being done about voter fraud, though I know it is my sacred obligation to vote, in reverence to those who died for my freedom, that I have matured enough to understand and decide why I cannot continue to vote for the lesser of two evils.
I’m down in Alabama from Brooklyn now, and at a minimum, politicians here will have to pass the Tea Party standard.
At a minimum.
F Mr. Jeb “immigration reform” Bush.
NO MORE F’N RINO’S and while were at it, F the US Chamber of Commerce.
Shame me once, shame on you. Shame me twice, shame on me. Shame me thrice, ...
Which is why I said “get in line” (to Jeb kissing my ***)
I’ll vote for Christie before I vote for another Bush. No more Bushes. No more Roves.
Sarcasm aside, they can stop this IF they unite behind a candidate and stop splitting the vote trying to let the perfect be the enemy of the good (resulting in bad).
Early on in 2012, half of this board was slamming all candidates trying to clear the way for Palin - who wasn't even running. Then you had Newt's people slamming Santorum when Romney was the problem.
I’m done voting for RINOs.
Heck, I’ll go you one better - I won’t even vote for Christie Kreme.
I mentioned on another thread today, how we conservatives eat our own. One misstep or one statement that disagrees with our 100% purity candidate is enough to turn our backs on a very good candidate and give us a very bad one.
That headline made me url up my lunch.... This is the worst Bush possible, and that’s saying something!
Some big issues are deal killers, abortion and amnesty, because they are evidence of a world view that we cannot support.
