I realize that Ben is a great surgeon and a self-made man, but maybe he should win a couple of elections and prove he knows how to govern before running for POTUS.

Just a thought.

Yes, I agree with you. He could run for a high profile office, since he’s got some name recognition, and he’d be a great, great addition to either the republican party or the soon to be “tea party” party.

But, really folks, we need to be a lot more focused in 2016 than we were in 2012, when everybody and their sister (I love Michele Bachmann, but was she really, ever going to be the next president?) ran and we ended up with Romney.

A fine man, and a dreadful L.O.S.E.R. who has left us strangled in the clutches of Obama.

I’ve been thinking that here is the question that determines the voters minds: Does this candidate understand the problems of people like me?

You’ve got to have someone with “the common touch”, this is why we have failed so spectacularly with Romney, McCain, Dole, et al.

If the average person would not answer that question with “YES!” then forget it.

So.....maybe Scott Walker? I don’t even think he graduated college, he might very much appeal to the working class.
