Wasn't that already glaringly obvious?

Yes, but to be sure, more research always avoids a knee-jerk reaction to a single piece.

I love how liberal commentators tell the GOP what candidates they have to run in order to win. The sad thing is that the idiots listen to them. It’s obvious that these writers are scared of conservative candidates but that goes right over the head of the GOP pundits.

Former tossup states Missouri, Colorado and New Mexico are trending Democratic - and the GOP lost all three the last two times.

Hello. The GOP took Missouri the last two elections, and if anything my state is trending Republican and not Democrat.

First of all you have to pretty far in right field to think John McCain and Mitt Romney aren’t conservatives.
.........................................................
I am so far in right field I am over past the foul line and against the bleachers.

If McCain is a Conservative I am Obama’s Daddy.

“A moderate Republican like Jeb Bush or Chris Christie is the only kind who can win”

Watch true conservatives turn their backs on this duo. They can push this meme all they want but it will not change the facts. NO MORE RINO’s and BUSH’S!

What exactly is a ‘far right wing candidate’? What views exactly are ‘right wing’?

Is it ‘extreme right wing’ to want people to only be allowed in the US if they apply properly for citizenship and really want to assimilate?

Is it ‘extreme right wing’ to believe that people should benefit in accordance to their efforts and talents and not have the government confiscate the fruits of their labor?

I’ll stop here, but this is a very long list.

Jeb Bush? Who the hell is he?

He is a BUSH. Nothing more need be known.

We do not have the structure, the coordination, the money, to accumulate the data which even now the Republican national committee and Karl Rove are assembling to support their arguments.

Where is the Heritage Foundation when we need it?

What he said.

If A moderate Reoublican like John McLame or Mitt Romney is the only one who can win then it is not worth winning.

Far right candidates are anarchists. I don't believe we have any prominent anarchists drawing support.

Centrist candidates are conservative and right center candidates are libertarian. We need both in order to balance out the far left totalitarian socialists who control the democrat party.

Ted Cruz is a needed breath of fresh air for a dying "republican brand".

The The Beaumont Enterprise isn’t among the papers of record here in Texas....Ted Cruz won in a land slide when one considers he beat the #1 establishment shoe in for his senate seat. He is, in my opinion the next Ronald Reagan!!!
