Romney or Bush: Who would you prefer if you had to choose for 2016 nomination? And Why?

Posted on 01/10/2015 7:43:45 AM PST by inchworm

I'd take Romney. He seems more like he is learning, understanding, and trying to be more conservative as the years go on. Bush on the other hand is floating ideas that seem far less conservative to me as the years go on.

However, CRUZ IS MY TOP CHOICE!!! Go CRUZ!

I don't know about where you live, but in my state, Romney barely advertised and hardly campaigned. And he never really responded to those attack ads regarding his time at Bain. There was so much in Obama’s sorry record as president that he could have been hammered with, but Romney said almost nothing. He seemed to me like he was just going through the motions.

Unfortunately, I suspect that the handpicked GOPe candidate this time around will do something similar. I believe there is some agreement between the GOP hierarchy and the commies to throw the presidential election.

no, of course not

being out side is to be irrelevant

Many here do not understand that simple fact of political power

the (R) might as well be the conservative less liberal branch of the same democratic socialist party.

There. Fixed it.

I will not vote for either in the NH primary in January 2016.

However, I will answer your question. If forced to choose, I would pick Romney because he’s a manager, and the ability to manage the Executive Branch has been sorely lacking for at least 20 years in an office which is designed as a managerial one.

I also take the dynastic issue seriously. And, I think the Bush Family is deceptive about their goals for the country, while with Romney, more or less, WYSIWYG. It is possible that Romney is not a transnationalist, it is certain that Bush is one.

Right now, I’m a Walker supporter. And, much against the trend here, I think a Senator who has not completed a single term with no executive track record should not be running for President. Think Harding, Kennedy, Obama.

"If one of those two is the nominee, I’ll be voting for either the Constitution or Libertarian Party"

I think that may well be an unbeatable team.

A Republican has to win Ohio and Florida to win POTUS.
It’s really that basic, and that’s where most of the advertising is done. I visited both states in the fall of 2012 and believe me there was carpet bombing advertising from both sides.

Dems don’t spend a dime on POTUS in Cal, Ill, or NYS because those 104 evs are already locked for them. They didn’t advertise for Obama here in Indiana because he had no chance- lost by 11.

Baraq won Ohio by 3 and Florida by less than 1. Winning those two states is absolutely the key.

Romney is notoriously pro-queer. In 2012, he said that two people of the same sex “who love each other” should be allowed to adopt children.

Bush is openly pro-amnesty.

Both of them despise conservatives.

So, neither.

I think Walker is a very compelling possibility. He has already shown conservative values and that he can run and win.

Romney and Jeb Bush. There is no difference. In a controlled experiment where each is followed over parallel time frames with identical scenarios over the timeline they would make identical decisions greater than 95% of the time.

The only positive will be watching Jennifer Rubin’s head explode as she tries to figure out which RINO to support. Perhaps Romney and Bush will help to split the RINO vote during the primaries. . and a true conservative can rise with a plurality. Cruz or Walker are my choice.

I am equally psyched about Cruz. But there really isn’t a purpose in questioning about who feels what about Romney or Jeb. If they’re the only ones available, I’m staying home.

I wouldn’t leave the house to vote for either one. Nor would anyone in my family. I like Walker.

I'm still waiting for the candidates to flesh out their positions... or for me to learn more about them... but if I had to vote right now, it would be for Walker. The track record in hostile territory cannot be denied.

So, you're not alone in going against the trend.

Doesn't matter which one wins the nomination. Ars hats won't vote for either one and the communists Democrats will win again.

My choice would be Romney. Most have no idea who the man is and have relied on junk blogs and the likes.
