I asked this on Twitter and naturally 50 people instantly responded “SMOD.” Sorry, we’re not that lucky. With Jeb in the race, Christie very likely to get in, and Romney and Rubio now likely to pass, the field of loud-and-proud centrists appears to be set at two. And since the donor class loves centrists and the donor class tends to get its way in presidential primaries, that means one of these two guys is likely to be nominee. If it comes to that, whom do you prefer? And before you say “I’ll stay home,” let me note: (1) conservatives say that every time a moderate lands the nomination and every time they end up turning out for him in the general, and (2) I’m not asking whether you’ll vote for either of them. I’m asking who you’d rather see as president. Jeb, right? Bush has been louder than Christie has in pushing immigration reform but we’ll all be shocked if Christie is any less of a RINO on amnesty in practice than Jeb is. Meanwhile, Jeb at least is well regarded by the NRA; Christie’s relationship with the NRA is more contentious. But then, if you’re worried about electability, Christie has none of the baggage that comes with the Bush name. And Ben Shapiro is right that Jeb is more closely identified with amnesty among voters who pay attention, even if he and Christie doubtless share many of the same positions on the issue:

any independents running yet
Cast the both of them into the fires of Mordor!!
(Christie might displace all of the Lava though)
Son of a Biotch!!!
I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of that one before.
Well played...

Did Terri Shiavo make an endorsement yet
Would you like arsenic or rat poison? Either way you’re gone.
Is he pro-life really, or just a “personally but...”
I don’t like the after taste of Strychnine...
I see far too many different sets of acronyms to keep them all straight. PIAPS isn’t one that has been in all that common use recently - so the meaning escaped me.
Fiscally, Hillary’s probably to the right of both of them.
That’s like asking if you want a bullet in the left eye or a bullet in the right eye.
Calls to her are not being returned.
Oh - and wouldn’t voting for “her” be a symptom of PIAPism? ;-P
Those are the only choices? It’s like choosing between Castor Oil and Cod Liver Oil. Both leave a stain in the drain.
If I had to choose? I would abstain from voting for either one, and probably choose to go have a big drink.
Jeb or Christie?
Look at it as New Jersey or Florida.
I cannot trust an East Coast Repub. Has there ever been a Yankee Republican that was worth a damn?
Jeb wins then - by default.
Neither.

That’s like asking which disease would you rather catch: malaria or tuberculosis?
........what a choice.........
At least I know they’re liberals who will continue the Obama agenda.
Better than someone who campaigns against it then votes for it at first chance.
If that is my only choice - Constitution Party
I used to see that acronym PIAPS used a lot on the Lucianne.site. They still rip her to shreds over there.
