The Republican Who Can Win
PJMedia ^ | 3/1/2015 | Andrew Klavan

Posted on 03/03/2015 9:45:18 AM PST by RightGeek

I sincerely wish that GOP candidates who cannot win the presidency would simply not run and save us all the trouble. Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Lindsey Graham, Rick Perry — none of these people is going to be the next president of the United States and each of them could do his country and his party a service by staying out of the race. Rand Paul and Mike Huckabee both stand a slim shadow of a ghost of a chance but I wish they’d drop out, too. Presidential Candidate is not supposed to be a prestigious line on your CV. It’s something you become when you think you have a real opportunity to do some good to your native land.

As for those who have a path to victory — Scott Walker, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz — I will now tell you which one is the truly viable candidate, the only Republican who could actually win the general.

The Republican who can win the general is whichever one realizes that he is running against the news media.

The Democrats have nothing. Their presumptive candidate is a corrupt old crone who has lied to and double-dealt this country far too long. Their current president has done us the favor of showing us the utter worthlessness of the leftist agenda. He has made the collective life of the country worse at every level except the executive level. When it comes to the Democrats and their philosophy, the white is coming off the sepulcher.

But while the left has no practical or moral legitimacy and no candidate who can plausibly represent even their empty promises, they do have one weapon left: the news media. NBC News, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post — each one of these corrupt mouthpieces and all their little acolytes and satellites not only speak for the Democrats but seek to destroy anyone who stands against them. We’ve seen the signs in these last weeks as Scott Walker’s star has risen and the Democrat toadies have rushed out to hound him with meaningless questions in hopes of a “gotcha” moment.

Do you believe in evolution? Is Barack Obama a Christian? Does Barack Obama love America? And soon to come: Do you believe in abortion in cases of rape and incest? Even worse, if a Republican candidate fumbles any of these answers, Candy Crowley won’t even rush in to help him out!

Why are you pushing such a radical lefty, who attacked Obama for being too anti-gay?

Why are you pushing some radical leftist party that refuses to oppose obola, and instead licks his tail at every turn? Come back and talk to me when you feel like being a real American.

Seriously, why are you fighting so hard for the homosexual agenda and abortion, drugs, porn, and the other lefty stuff?

Your man Johnson attacked Obama for being TOO RIGHT WING ON GAY MARRIAGE.

RE:”Meanwhile, Boehner & McConnell just destroyed the United States, barring one judge who will be ignored.”

Was not funding DHS going to deport illegals?
It wasn't clear that it was going to stop Obama from doing anything wrt illegals.

The Dems were claiming that charging the illegals those 'fees' would pay for processing them even without a DHS bill..

My guy didn’t support it. Ted Cruz - Republican.

Incidently, my congressman, who I support, voted against Boehner for SOTH. He is Republican also. Dan Webster.

Please, no more of your sophomoric anal sex references.

CRUZ OR LOSE!

I will give my left nut to be wrong, but I have a terrible feeling it will be Jeb v Hitlery.

And the FRinos will be bellowing their condescending insanity, a liberal with an R is better than a liberal with a D.

John Boehner and the people that kept/keep him in the leadership position have been teaching me all I need to know about republicans these days...

Even a winning candidate will lose if no one comes out to vote.
A fair exchange I think.
They tell people to GFthemselves now.
The people may decide to tell them to GFthemselves later.

Why do you not want to discuss the politics of your favorite candidate, Gary Johnson?

You have been pushing Johnson for years here, and have done so today, why don’t you want to defend his politics?

Giving the useless GOP the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2014 proves you SUPPORT OBAMA!!!

So FU ifinnegan. YOU SUPPORT OBAMA because YOUR GOP is doing his bidding.

subterfuge, remember that dware supports a truly radical pro-homosexual party platform, agenda, and candidate.

I got that from dware. I responded to his saying he would not vote for any Republican.

The idea that the Republican candidate needs to appeal to conservatives I agree with.

But that is irrelevant with respect to dware and others who have all ready determined not to vote for the Republican candidate, no matter who it may be.

I assume you disagree with dware on that. That is why I asked, to verify you are not agreeing.

I have no intention of doing so, I’m not a libertarian or supporter of their agenda.

“FU ifinnegan”

Spoken like a true liberal, with the typical reasoned articulateness.
