OK, I admit it; I'm really scared. IMO, our last hope is to elect a "Ronald Reagan" style Conservative in 2016. Another four years of having a Saul Alinsky disciple in the White House will totally finish destroying this great nation that many of us knew as children and for most of our adult life. Now, what scares me is this:
There is "talk", like it is already a foregone conclusion, that the Dem Ticket in 2016 will be Hillary Clinton and HUD Secretary Julian Castro. I'm wondering; would that Ticket, first woman POTUS and first Latino VEEP, be unbeatable? And, if that is going to be the Dem Ticket, what can we do to stop them from winning? I know that many FReepers abhor the very thought of "Identity Politics", but, what about a Latino candidate for Prez (The name Ted Cruz comes to mind.) and a woman VEEP? Our culture is not demographically tilted for our team to win on principles and ideology; we're outnumbered. Thank God that most DemocRATS don't vote because, on Election Day, they're in the crack house, the jail house, the half-way house, or the HO house. But, the last two Presidential Elections proved that we can no longer count on that to pull us over the Finish Line as victors.
They can be beaten if we have Cruz or Walker as our nominee.
I don't see Hillary as terribly viable any more. I suspect Elizabeth Warren will become viable once again. That might be a serious concern.
ANY DemocRAT ticket SHOULD be beatable by a fighting, united, Repub party that cares about saving America as a free Constitutional Republic.
Never heard of this Castro guy, and Hillary would be utterly sliced and diced in a debate with Cruz. She is not very bright rhetorically, and Cruz is simply deadly like a stone cold DA that can reframe and interpret every word you say. He can lay and spring traps.
She has almost no chance against a Cruz. She’s so bad i really don’t expect her to be the dem nominee.
Why not hitlary run as president and billy as vice president?
And Hillarys style has been corruption, followed by discovery, followed by a cover up which is also discovered, then a memory loss, (my mind is jello,,,, i cant recall,,, i fell and got a concussion,,,etc.
She is extremely incompetent. I would think Warren could easily mop the floor with her anytime she chose to do so.
I don't think it would happen but it would be fun to watch. And this sort of thing wouldn't even be mentioned if the Dems had any bench at all.
Palin, Fallin, Hayley, Martinez are 4 governors. It is interesting to think of Cruz’s running mate, just as a hypothetical. I think there is some potential for such a team.
The sooner we realize our country is finished, no election will fix it, and no election will be allowed to fix it, the sooner we can focus on getting our liberty back. The thing we call the USA is a growing threat to out liberty.
Mary Falin is a complete joke.
Support Cruz, support him early, and we can win.
Julian Castro Is in VP Training Camp

“.......and Hillary would be utterly sliced and diced in a debate with Cruz......”
Having observed that witch with a ‘B’ for so many years I wouldn’t be surprised she refuse to debate Cruz face to face. I say she’d not, and simply run a smear campaign. It’s all she’s got to run on, other than having her name out there for so many years even though she’s done nothing positive ever.
The GOP needs to start supporting jobs, right here in America.
Stop sending American jobs overseas.
We need to be for jobs.
Jobs mean more Republicans. More Republicans means more intelligent government.
Just saying.
I expect Cruz to run with Martinez - they’d be a GREAT PAIR.
Brand her? I'm pretty sure that's what it says on her driver's license!
Could be, but can you imagine the firestorm if she decides to be the first presidential candidate not to debate? And i cannot imagine what Crus would do with such a gift from the Gods.
But the only way she gets the nomination is if dem money knows they cant win this election and just lets her “run”
They would not be unbeatable when Cruz points out how dumb Castro is and slimy Clinton is.
