Liberal republicans are unelectable for president. The base will not vote for them.

Correct. And you can take that to the bank. Absolutely no way Christie or Bush get my vote.

They might vote for them, at least some of them. But nobody in the base is going to expend the necessary additional effort needed to drag them over the finish line.

That being said, I could support four of the six on his list. No Bush and no Pillsbury doughboy.

" Liberal republicans are unelectable for president. The base will not vote for them."

The establishment wing of the party is firmly entrenched in beltway culture and they believe that they have to be moderate in their choices in order to remain in the good graces of the media.

Because the media is so important to the likes of Karl Rove and John McCain they have actually allowed them to control the agenda and direct their actions.

The media will not allow members of beltway the establishment to bring up Hillary's sordid past of criminal activity and abuse of power. Thereby pretty much giving here a significant advantage going into 2015.

Yet they keep showing up as the candidate.

I do like Scott Walker and think he would make a decent president, from what I have seen so far. Any Wisconsin residents out there who can enlighten me?
