And making that a prerequisite will only make it more likely that Hillary is the next WH squatter.
ow do you envision the search for the absolute perfect conservative candidate? How do the dynamics of the end game play out when all the decent candidates have been destroyed and Neo doesn't show?
The GOPe is headed for trouble with Conservatives.
Look up the name (and former republican senator) Jim Talent.
Maybe you could be convinced.
I like Mike Pence as well, but he has been very lukewarm about running and if he really wanted it, he'd be out there in the fray right now. Somebody who's willing to fight for it starting in the first round will be on my short list.
My first thought was that, of course, he’s in trouble with the DC elite. They wouldn’t be caught dead in a Kohls. WAYYYY beneath them to do anything that makes sense. :)
Anything in that story about looking for made-in-the-USA merchandise and being willing to pay a few extra dollars for it? Oops.
As I may have posted before, if this were back in the “old days,” when the candidate was chosen at the party convention, and the voting was deadlocked, Pence would have been the ideal dark horse candidate, emerging at, say, the 102nd ballot.
I agree. However, I also like the other candidates very much, and I just LOVE Dr. Carson. Together they represent so much hope for this country and I hope whomever wins the Presidency, if that happens, will find places of honor and influence to offer the others if they will take them.
Scott Walker will have trouble with GOPe cause he might actually oppose and seek to undo Obama’s top-down-one-size-fits-all policies. The GOPe is just fine with tyranny, they just want to be part of it. My question is will any of the GOPe oppose Obama when he declares himself “president for life” on or about January 20, 2017?
Entitlements.
Like Walker but think the good old boy GOP club will go for a softer candidate and will feed the media with BS.
“This station” will only back someone who will gracefully lose to the next Democrat candidate.
Exactly right.
Look at the previous two election cycles. McCain was as popular as poison ivy in June 2007 after pushing amnesty TWICE and had no money. Yet he had the nomination sewn up by March 2008.
Romney was the author of the precursor of the hated Obamacare and had taken all positions on all issues at one time or another and was less popular than McCain. Yet again, by March of 2012, he’s the nominee.
They have the calendar rigged so red states have virtually no say until it’s too late. Elsewhere they have purposefully open primaries. The rules have been tweaked to smooth out the bumps Romney experienced on the way to his nomination. The GOP exists to block conservatives, not represent them.
The last 4 Presidential elections have been amnesty D vs amnesty R.
Jebbish will be the designated loser this time. What will we do then?
We have to think outside the box the parties have put us in.
Walker is correct, correct, correct about PATCO. It's about the leadership, dummies.
In regards to policy questions about, say, the Ex-Im Bank, Walker is correct again...it's not as simple as it's being made out to be.
Polished presentation got us Obama. That should clearly illustrate why it's not a reliable indicator of... Leadership.
Walker is second on my list of two.
On my short list as well.
BTW-is there anything other than a short list? I start counting and cannot use up the fingers on one hand. :)
Scott Walker’s performance on Fox News Sunday dissected.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
I don’t like how Scott Walker is already starting with the “I’m the best candidate with the experience it takes and none of the others are”
I even wrote to his campaign and said to remember Reagan’s 11th commandment “Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican”
Where did Walker say that?
I thought that was Ted Cruz's line.
All weekend, Fox kept repeating Hannity’s interview at CPAC with Jeb Bush (shudder). I must have run across that same show being repeated at least 4 or 5 times. It seems they ARE pushing for Da Bushes. He is revolting in his support for Common Stupidity and Shamnesty.
