Hillary Clinton allies are focusing on four potential Republican challengers for the White House: Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, Chris Christie and Scott Walker.

Yep, it’s a shiny object.
And if people want to discuss 2016 candidates now the candidates that matter are House candidates. If they start now conservative House candidates have time to prepare for a 2016 campaign.
Are you lumping Walker in with them? Rand is a goofball and I don't trust him! The other two are RINO's for sure.
But Walker? I'd vote for him in a heartbeat!
The Hill?? Really? Leftists will aways tell you who scares them. Walker is the only one I would support out of this group.
The "absence of fear" is one of the things I remember about Reagan.
In particular, I remember (during his rise to the front of the GOP pack in 1978 or 1979) that he said things that no one else was saying about Carter and the Democrats, about the condition of the country, about the USSR.
The Left, the Democrats, and the MSM all reacted. He was strongly criticized by The Hive (to recall a term WFB used at the time). He was an extremist, he was a warmonger, he was too far out of the mainstream to be serious candidate.
And he ignored those voices. He didn't care. I remember thinking sometimes "oh boy, they're really going to come after him now," and they did, and you know what? None of it seemed to stick to him. He just brushed it off and went on with his message, and it was amazing to me.
He didn't accept the guilt, he rarely even acknowledged his detractors. There was one time when Carter threw some sort of boilerplate accusation at him during a debate, and my stomach sank, and he came back with that amazing line "there you go again." It delighted everyone, rocked Carter back on his heels, and changed the psychology of the campaign in one second. Suddenly I was going "whoa, maybe he has a chance."
I wonder if Ted Cruz knows about that? He was born in 1970, so he was only in third or fourth grade during the Reagan-Carter campaign.
Who writes this stuff?? If you read the article, #1 in the “poll” is.....Mittens. Really?
Smells fishy.....like a red herring.
Each of them is a better choice than the socialist air-head.
Still we need to act NOW to persuade Bush and Christie to start supporting back a Conservative candidate.

it’s really quite simple...... which of the four attends the bilderberg and CFR conferences..... that’s the real ONE...
BESIDES no matter repub or libtard dem.... the ussa is guaranted the burgeoning police state complete with its twin-sister perpetual war..... i heard hildabeast popularity is now around 40%....
Wow. With GOD’s help, I think you broke the code!
As usual, this enemy islamist cannot nor will not see her real threat. It would be a joyous thing to watch Cruz reduce her to quivering jello.
Again, the article has NOTHING to do with threats to Hillary! (Tm), and everything to do to push The Hill’s choices for Repub nominee while grooming the landscape for the left. Like most, if not all, of The Hill krap, this is just an agenda piece.
Hell no.
Rand Paul,
Meh.
Chris Christie
Hell no.
Scott Walker
Yes please.
The DNC is starting early with the B’rer Rabbit “Don’t throw me in the briar patch” line.
Do we need that kind of language, especially from a Chicago LADY?
Saw your post after I had posted my #33. GMTA
she ought to be more worried about Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.
Here’s the problem...he’s a pretty successful governor and a proven winning candidate in the most difficult of situations. If we eliminate everyone who deviates even slightly from perfection, we’re left with nothing like in 2012. If he presents a viable solution on this issue, I am fine with it. If he comes out with a Jeb-like policy, he’s DOA. Much like Rubio, how he handles this issue would greatly affect his candidacy. There is room for a good immigration reform bill that meets our needs for enforcement and prevention, and that offers some status to those here. We haven’t seen it advanced on the national stage yet, and it sure as hell isn’t what Rubio championed in the Senate.
Two of those four worry me too!
