Sounds peachy til the local Kasich dirt starts rising to the surface.
Shame too, since the divine Karen would make an amazing FL.
The Center is political dead weight.
0bama won the Democrat nomination by being the most far-left candidate.
Cantor and Boner have been run out of town for being in the Center of the electorate.
Parties want identifiably ideological candidates, not milque toast pablum slurpers.
Crush the RINO centrists. Add all the anti-establishment candidates, especially those who are not RINOs, and you have a substantial majority of Republican primary voters. Kasich and Rubio will not win.
Go Cruz!
I think it will be Ted Cruz or Ben Carson.
Either of them will have natural appeal to the center, where elections are won.”
So Trump picking up 20% of the black vote isn’t getting to the center?
Is this the new GOPe strategy? Basically order the MSM to completely ignore Trump and Cruz like they don't even exist?
Rubio is the second string for when !JEB¡ craters, and Kasich(?) is who exactly? Some dude who's boehner’s stunt double?
I see a shift in GOP/DNC/MSM tactics in the near future.
Just another it can’t be Trump opinion.
Yawn.
The people are awake this time. Neither left nor right nor moderate resonate. A populist who is a little right and a little left a little sympathetic and a lot tough and very pro-working class does resonate.
That leaves out K and R and C pubs.
I fear you are probably correct. After decades of electing “moderates”, I feel America may still be too conditioned to find anything other than centrist to be radical. Moderates are what have gotten us into this mess and only when the pain becomes unbearable will most voters decide to take a risk. Moderation, mediocre, and mediocrity are such comfortable positions. We will continue to slip left a little bit at a time. Until we’ve crossed the Rubicon. Perhaps we have already. Maybe America is already...gone?
Obviously the writer can't remember back to Ronald Reagan.
The GOPe NEVER bought into Reagan, and before he was out the White House door for the last time, they heaved a big sigh of relief. George Bush would certainly set things straight again.
Kasich and Rubio are mainstream conservatives. Kasich's record and Rubio's rhetoric line up quite nicely.
Kasich and Rubio...
Good grief what a destructive bunch of flawed logic...
Better check the polls. Neither will win the nomination.
“The center” 60 years ago is where most of the right wing is today, and it is still America’s center, even if the left calls it “extreme.”
Aim for the real American center, and you will win. With blips on one issue or another, Trump, Cruz, Carson, and Fiorina represent the real American center, and the choice among them will come down to which blips are we willing to accept from a candidate, and which are deal-breakers.
The left is about to discover how out-of-the-center it is.
Only in Looking Glass Land
I will vote for Trump or Cruz.
The rest can pound sand.
The idea that the center wins elections is false.
2012 voter turnout was 57%...meaning 95 million people didn’t vote.
Romney lost by a ‘landslide’ 5 million votes.
Run a conservative candidate who can attract a mere slice of the non-voters, and its a lock.
Either of them will have natural appeal to the center, where elections are won.
Really?
Barack Obama won the last two elections.
He is so far to the left that he is not our of the zip code he is out of the State..........
