If they can unite behind a guy that can finish a sentence, it would be a start
Rubio, Jindal or even a rebooted Jeb Bush would do. Too bad IMO as I said they will parade the clowns and ruin it
Rick is not wrong. He now understands what it takes to win the general election. Unfortunately, he's unlikely able to win the nomination with that message. It's somewhat the same conundrum Jeb is in.
Yep. Surviving the primaries seems to be the name of the game for the GOP.The presidency is right there for the GOP to take it. It's right there. Unfortunately, they will parade the clows again (palin, bush, romney, paul, the idiot texan, the elephant) and make a mockery of the US elections once again
this will be once again a very compte ive national election due to that fact

Rubio is a terrible candidate, IMO. Latinos absolutely hate him and of course...
I'm actually more curious on what's going to happen with Rand Paul...
doens't matter if he's good or not. compare him to the clowns I listed and he's suddenly Thomas Jefferson
as I said the presidency is there for the taking if GOP could unite behind a guy that can finish a sentence.

I agree with you that it's their election to lose. And s are a segment they can't ignore anymore anyways, due to the Florida EC votes. Bush Jr carried hispanics by 50% or more and won comfortably.

Romney started talking about "self-deportation" and basically gave away all the votes crofl
TX Repugs plan to repeal the dream act for TX, which is huge reachout to the Hispanic vote.

Conservatives Are Already Raising Money to Derail Jeb Bush's 2016 Bid

objections to Jeb: pro-immigration reform, pro-Common Core, both ideologically contrary to Repugs.
which would make the dems even more vulnerable. she was a terrible sec of state. When John Kerry looks better at your job you know you screwed up
Yeah, I don't really care who wins, but this is shaping up to be another "pick turd red or blue" election...
her fans are rabid, but her favorability numbers are pretty high and stable.
Boo, sometimes you are just funny as and don't even realize it. MotherJones? Cons utional Rights PAC?
In 2013 and 2014, it pulled in $36,282 from small donors and other PACs and devoted most of that haul to paying for direct mail and online fundraising and digital consulting. In other words, the group raised money to be spent on running its website, generating pe ions, and—you guessed it—raising more money and gathering up more email addresses.
Jeb's pro-immigration, pro-Common Core positions are HATED by the tea baggers, the Repug base.
Fixed it for you.
Bottom line, the Tea Party can't get a Tea Party Presidential candidate elected. Even further bottom line, they will vote for any Republican over Hillary.
not before sabotaging their own party by parading their clows for 6-7 months
tea baggers and the rest of the redneck, evangelical/End Timer Repug base will primary any Repug candidat so far to the right that he'll lose the moderates, the center, and the election.
It looks like you haven't noticed that tea baggers now run nearly all of the red and rural states.
Mitt’s weird excuse for why he lost in 2012 — and how it totally undermines his hopes for 2016
Romney says that a good economy doomed his White House hopes. So how does he win next year when it's even better?

I would not say it is a "minority" of the GOP that are hysterical about immigration.
From an economic standpoint, the US will need more immigration over the next 20 years, not less, and anything even remotely seen as less than hardline on immigrants, legal/illegal is seen as undesirable.
http://tpr.org/post/lawmakers-focus-...ldren-texas-goAs Lawmakers Focus On Repeal Of The State’s Dream Act, Where Do These Children Of Texas Go?
Several lawmakers have already filed bills to repeal the Texas Dream Act. Texas’ incoming lieutenant governor, Sen. Dan Patrick, has vowed to repeal it during the 84th legislative session, which begins Tuesday. And Governor-elect Gregg Abbott has said if one of the bills lands on his desk, he would not veto it.
These kids aren't really gettin' any real handout, merely in-state tuition, and the kid they talked to is studying to be an engineer.
These kids are real, tangible, economic assets. Pissing them away is stupid, and getting them into OUR economy is something of a no-brainer IMO.

There was a guy last night that said Repugs really didn't want Bishop Gecko in '12, and it took him nearly the entire primary season to beat the other absurdist clowns.
That's explained by clownish "madness" of the Repug base voting for clowns rather than Mr 47%, the private equity vulture.

Texas Is Sending You a Present
Rick Perry!
The man who has been governor of Texas since pterodactyls roamed the
plains took his leave at the State Capitol this week. He is not saying anything
for sure about running for president. Mum’s the word until springtime.
However, he recently told a reporter that if voters want to break from the
Obama era, “I am a very clear and compelling individual to support.”
Wow, the Republican race is getting to be like one of those crime shows
where the detectives have to paste pictures all over the wall so they can keep
the suspects straight. So many old friends popping up this month — Mitt
Romney and now Rick Perry. The man who drove to Canada with the family
dog strapped to the car roof and the man who claims he shot a coyote while
jogging. The animal lobby had better get out there and see how Jeb Bush feels
about wolf hunting.
Almost everybody has a Rick Perry favorite moment. For 99 percent, it’s
probably the dreaded “oops” debate when he announced that as president he
was going to shutter three federal agencies — and then could only think of two.
And, yeah, that one was pretty good. However, I still cherish a television
interview Perry did a few years earlier with Evan Smith of The Texas Tribune
in which he defended abstinence*only sex education despite the state’s
astronomical rates of teenage pregnancy.
“It works,” Perry said defiantly and totally erroneously.
“Can you give me a statistic suggesting it works?” asked Smith.
“I’m going to tell you from my own personal life. Abstinence works,”
replied. Smith was too discreet to press for details, but let’s hope it comes up
during the campaign.
Perry had been governor of Texas for more than 14 years, an all* time
record. In his farewell speech to the State Legislature, he reminded the
lawmakers of all they’d been through together, including hurricanes, wildfires
and
the tragic disintegration of the Space Shuttle Columbia over Texas in
2003, although Perry called it “Space Shuttle Challenger,” which blew up in
1986.
No mention of his pending felony indictment for abuse of power. Perry
tried to force a county district attorney to resign by threatening to veto the
money for an office she runs that investigates public corruption. It’s a
complicated story. First you learn that the D.A. in question had been arrested
in a rather spectacular drunken*driving case, and you tilt a little toward Perry.
Then you discover that two other county D.A.’s were charged with drunken
driving during the Perry administration without attracting the wrath of the
governor.
Then you sort of get distracted by wondering what’s going on with
Texas district attorneys.
We’ve got ages to work it out.
Perry bragged about the state’s economy, which he often refers to as “the
Texas Miracle.” Really, we have not heard so much about miracles since Our
Lady of Fatima.
The state’s record of job creation is his big calling card to the
presidential league, and once he starts harping on it again we’re going to
wonder: Has Texas been growing so many jobs because Perry cut taxes and
regulations? Or is it because Texas happens to be a state with warm weather,
lots of space for cheap housing, a huge border with Mexico and massive oil and
gas deposits? Is Perry a great leader or just conveniently located?
Eventually, someone will repeat the old joke about being born on third base and thinking
you hit a triple.
Perry’s signature job*building initiative is something called the Texas
Enterprise Fund, which aims to persuade out*of*state companies to move to
Texas, or expand there.
One of its beneficiaries, Texas Ins ute for Genomic
Medicine, got $50 million in return for creating what Perry said were more
than 12,000 jobs. An investigation by The Wall Street Journal revealed the
fund folk had been counting every single biotech job created anywhere in the
state for the previous six years. Actually the number was more like 10.
But it’s great that the governor’s ambitions are forcing us to think a lot
about Texas, a state that deserves more attention, having been home to only
three of the last eight elected chief executives. Not even half! And although
lawmakers from Texas currently lead six of the committees in the House of
Representatives, that’s still under a third.
There’s also United States Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, making all the prepresidential
*campaign stops and offering an option to all of us who are
yearning for a vision to the right of Rick Perry.
I once threw out the possibility
of an entire Republican ticket from the Lone Star State, and many readers
desperately wrote to argue that that was uncons utional. It might be fairer to
say that the Cons ution isn’t crazy about the idea.
We can figure that out down the line. Meanwhile, Perry and Cruz could
both be in the presidential debates.
Let’s see who’s better at counting to three.

Private equity predator, asset stripper, job killer faking his concern for the working class:
With the shake of an Etch-A-Sketch, Mitt Romney reintroduced himself to the Republican Party on Friday as a man interested in running for president because of his desire to address poverty and income inequality. One only wonders why the former governor of Massachusetts neglected to focus on the growing problems the last time he held the le of GOP standard bearer.
"It's a tragedy, a human tragedy, that the middle class in this country by and large doesn't believe that the future will be better than the past," he said. "We haven't seen rising incomes over decades."
"The rich have gotten richer, income inequality has gotten worse and there are more people in poverty than ever before under this president,"
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/0...n_6492894.html
I, for one, AM TOTALLY CONVINCED that Bishop Gecko is sincerely concerned about wealth/income inequality.
And I fully expect his campaign to be based on raising the federal minimum wage to $15, moving the cap on SS to $500K/year on ALL income, closing corporate tax loopholes like "carried interest", passing a federal law for one year of maternity leave, taxpayer funded day care and pre-schoo, etc, etc.
but, as always, Bishop Gecko, just another Repug plutocrat,
1) doesn't give a about anyone other than BigCorp and his own class of the 1%.
and
2) counts on the reliable, Gruber-ish "stupidity of the American people (certainly of the Repug voters)
