Keywords: Forget Ted Cruz, Forget Rand Paul, false projection of reality

In a field brimming with candidates, the University of Virginia’s Larry Sabato and his associates contend in the pages of Politico Magazine, the “conventional wisdom” is that the Republican presidential nomination is up for grabs in 2016. But is it? Hardly, they write: Republicans are hungry to reoccupy the White House, and the realistic among them understand the party won’t win without pitching a bigger tent. There may be no single GOP frontrunner, but there are just a few politicians who have the resources, positioning and potential to expand the base. They are former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, not necessarily in that order. In other words, candidates like Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Ben Carson aren’t even dark horse contenders for the nomination; they're political losers and they don't even know it yet. That’s an intriguing (if brutally honest) contention — and if true — would disappoint many conservative grassroots activists who harbor high hopes for their preferred candidates. Nevertheless, perhaps these experts are right that the field is much smaller than currently meets the eye. Surely, however, some of the hopefuls in the race have no business running for president. They’re either clenching to unrealistic (and delusional) visions of someday sitting in the Oval Office — or they have ulterior motives, such as earning a cabinet position or a spot on the national ticket. And yet, Sabato and his colleagues caution, if Republicans have any interest in breaking their two-cycle losing streak, they should probably rally around one of these three contenders — or risk everything: What do you guys think? Does another Republican candidate have the capacity, connections, and money to win the primary and the general election? Or do Republicans need to endorse one of these three contenders to finally recapture the White House? Poster Comment: Forget the debates and the primaries, the elites have already picked the candidates for you. And, the winner is..... Hillary Rubio
[The] closeness of the race is a mirage, a false projection of the reality that exists just below the surface. At this very early stage, when every week more candidates declare, the public is mainly not engaged—not even the select contingent of voters that will turn up to cast ballots in the caucuses and primaries.
...A few will manage to win some primaries or caucuses. But if winning in November is the goal, Republicans will settle on Bush, Rubio or Walker. Some of the other candidates are too far right to win swing states, others are controversial and divisive within the party itself, still more are novices who have never held elective office, or retreads and golden oldies whose time has passed. It may look like an enormous, amorphous field of candidates, but already it’s clear that three candidates loom large.

The establishment has been pushing Rubio for a long time now. I remember when Hannity was shilling for him way back whenever. I wonder why they push Rubio so much. I don't like him to much. Scott Walker maybe. Bush..I'd rather slit my wrists.
I still go for Walker....and Rubio before Hillary.
I doubt I would vote for Amnesty Rubio.
That is one of his bad points.
One of many.
I agree. I am still laughing at the thought of hondo throwing up all over
Remember when Rubio criticized the Arizona bill 1070 saying it was a "police state" because it allowed police to ask if a person was a citizen or here illegally.
IMO, it's because he's a Hispanic "minority", and a Bush clone. They're looking for a gimmick to counteract Hillary's feminazi shtick. Then there was when the POS Rubio said that illegals should get to pay in state tuition. He not only wants to make college cheaper then what Americans pay. The fact that he even supports illegals going to college here makes him a piece of shit. Now that I'm thinking of this stuff. I think I will probably cross the asshole off my list of someone I could potentially vote for.
Rubio "the conservative movement” to “admit that there are those among us who have used rhetoric that is harsh and intolerable” and “inexcusable.”
I remember the bill well, I was a strong supporter here. But, I don't remember Rubio's comment. I must say that I wasn't paying much, if any, attention to him back then.
While delivering a speech at the Brookings Institution last April, Rubio was clear. For those “voices in my own party” who caution America to “heed the words of John Quincy Adams not to go ‘abroad, in search of monsters to destroy,’” Rubio has no sympathy. With such a foreign policy, he couldn’t disagree more strongly, for “all around us we see the face of America’s influence in the world.” www.thenewamerican.com/re...tem/14186-marco-rubio-no- conservative
Here are the candidates to consider. Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Bobby Jindle, Donald Trump, Rick Perry
I have never paid any attention to Rubio because I did not consider him to be a serious contender. I am surprised that he is considered to be in the top three. I guess I better start reading about him....your preview paints a dim picture.
Here are the candidates to consider. I like Cruz, Jindle and Perry....not necessarily in that order. I might consider Trump....if he ever gets serious about running.
Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Bobby Jindle, Donald Trump, Rick Perry These are mere charlatans and outright traitors to America along with all the the other democrats. What the HELL are you talking about?
A three tyme bankrupt MOGUL. Who would have otherwise known about your inner secret thoughts?
These election games have become a joke. Tater likes Trump, eh? LOL They're setting up Hillary for the win. I think I might become a Bernie Sanders fan, just for laughs.
Fred - I am serious about the following: writing in my dead dawg, "SCRUFFY" as the next President of the United States of America. He really was a good dawg, too. One of his good traits was he listened; that made him a very special dawg. And he obeyed; that made him a very special dawg. Today, none of these lapdawg GOP/DEM candidates can out perform my dead dawg SCRUFFY. One of the best reasons for my choice is that my dead dawg SCRUFFY doesn't cost one thin dime laying under the surface of the Earth.
I'll put up my dead dawg "SLAPPY" to yours. As an added bonus, SLAPPY was a bitch and my best friend for 16 years.
Rick Perry is last on my list and maybe not even on it. Can you tell me how each of the others are "outrithg traitors to America". I wouldn't want to make a mistake and vote for a traitor. So you're going to have to help me out by not talking in platitudes but be specific.
He's not 35 so he's not eligible.
The nation is more then 3 times bankrupt. Trump came from bankruptcy and made billions. He seems to be against all these globalist bullshit. I think he genuinely loves the country unlike Obama.
Most excellent. We have a serious presidential team, the dead dawg team: SCRUFFY/SLAPPY providing the American publick with an alternative to the lies, the bullshit, the exaggerations about the real agenda of the GOP/DEM party. Now, Americans can trully cast their vote upon and about in total confidence that some evil cretin politician can not shake our lives for a fucked upped pay raise for doing nothing but legalized extortion. LEAVE US THE FUCK ALONE, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. And the GREAT news: not one stinckin' dime in salaries, benefits or traditio0nal homage to POS charlatan.
Moe would make a good President.
He like "Jindle" too. Goes to show the utter ignorance and desperation when these clowns can't even spell Bobby Jindal's name correctly. Great - vote for Bush then, no difference. You'll pull the lever for whoever the Party tells you to vote for. You're a moron if you think Bush is the same as Moe. You sound like a parrot.
Saddam was a monster that the neocon RINO's like Rubio sent our army abroad to destroy. We were better off when Iraq was ruled over by the monster, Reagan knew that the monster abroad ruling Iraq was a good thing. Assad is a pretty good monster, his father was an even better monster as demonstrated by how he dealt with the Muslim Brotherhood back in 1982, when they rose up in Hama.
Picking JEB ain't winning. I'd rather see Obomber get a 3rd term. At least a few of the Party People would then protest any anti-American activity from the WH,but these same people would stay silent if JEB did the same things. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
"IF"????? I'd say it is an absolute certainty. I think the base will stay home or vote third party. Yup. f that be the case, the GOP will lose. They should lose. They are no longer a viable party,and haven't been since Poppy and his asshole globalist fascist pals took over. They are nothing more than a junior branch of the Dim Party. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
IMO, it's because he's a Hispanic "minority", and a Bush clone. BINGO! They count on him to pull in not only the "Party People" drone votes,but also the His and Her-panic votes,also. All they care about is the party winning so they can stay in power. If America has to lose for this to happen,that's a sacrifice they are willing to make It is Party over Country for these people. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Not to mention a trust fund kid that inherited 21 million bucks and his grandfathers real estate client list and business on his way to becoming "the master of bankruptcy", Then again,when you look at what has happened to this country since Reagan left office,maybe a master of bankruptcy is what we need the most? Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Me,too,but not for laughs. Chances are I will be wiping away the tears as/if I vote for him. How far has American fallen when a self-described socialist is the most pro-American and conservative mainstream candidate on the list of presidential contenders? At least Saunders means it when he rants about bringing jobs back to America and getting out of foreign wars. Hell,supplying war goods to the never-ending wars has now became our industrial base. It's about the only manufacturing we have left. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
I will never vote for another Texas politician. There must be something in the water in Texas that twists their minds. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
We could not only do worse,we have a history of doing worse.
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
AMEN! On top of that the whole world was a safer place too,because Hussein kept killing off the fundie Muslims. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
AMEN! On top of that the whole world was a safer place too,because Hussein kept killing off the fundie Muslims. Congratulations, you broke the code.
Congratulations, you broke the code. I knew that and was screaming about it on FR BEFORE Boy Jorge ordered the invasion. That's what got me banned for life over there. What kind of an idiot do you have to be to see your enemies so busy fighting and killing each other that they don't have any time to think about you,so you kill the one of them off that is your ally,and free you the other one to attack you? NOBODY is that stupid by accident. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
