This ought to be an interesting primary if nothing else .... “a choice not an echo”. ;)

Great.
The other two do not count for much, but Bolton is yet another guy to split the conservative vote.

Rand has some interesting things to say but he’ll never be president.

I have tremendous respect for John Bolton... to the degree it is alarming that the other 2 are mentioned in the same line... but Bolton ought to stick with being the “President of Red Eye” for now. I can see him as a Secretary of State, in President Cruz’s cabinet. Pete King and Lindsay Graham? Well, I can see them tarred, feathered and ran out of D.C. on rails.

Red Eye Sucks without Gutfeld although Joann, well...
anyway, we are getting too crowded!! bush will take the nomination if we don’t all get behind one guy by a specified date. In other words, everyone but Cruz and Walker please leave the building. As for Rubio, I don’t know what is truth and what’s not anymore He could have been president.

Yep, this will be a big boy primary.
If we are lucky and the flow is passionate and serious without turning ugly or counterproductive, then that alone may wake up some American voters to the depth and potential of the current republican party, in contrast to the democrats.

We should thank Rand Paul for being the one to draw the flies.

Otherwise, it would be a full out engagement aimed at knocking out Ted Cruz.

A field this talented and already this well funded is an answer to prayer, if they can stay standing together long enough to all keep firing at Hillary, and dividing the attention of the media and talking solutions to get us out of the Obama take down, I’m all for it.

No vote is cast until February, 2016. It’s open range time now.

Eventually, this crew of candidates will hit the target. The numbers of them are the only thing keeping Bush at under 30% approval among Republicans. These other candidates between them have a lot of supporters, and they are keeping Jeb Bush from gaining traction. However, Jeb is leading in the CNN poll by about 10 points. For what that’s worth.

ten? :( you make good points and I am not a smart enough man to know what’s best in the primary season. I do know I cant and wont vote for jeb.
I’d rather Hillary finish off the country I once loved and maybe from the destruction a new great Country can rise up from the ashes

I will never support Rand Paul. His foreign policy views are as terrible as Obamas’

Those among the Republican electorate whose hearts cry out for:

More American soldiers taking sides in more Middle Eastern wars with no definition of victory,
with no intent to force unconditional surrender,
with rules of engagement that permit the enemy to taunt us from their 'hiding places',
with 'allies' who shoot our troops in the back without warning,
and with tens of billions poured down the rathole of "nation building".....

will doubtless find a congenial home in the Bolton/Graham/King camp.

There’s nothing wrong with your IQ, brother. Your posts prove that. And plenty of FReepers might disagree with me about keeping all our candidates moving on Hillary for awhile. We have to block Jeb and Hillary. To me, that takes manpower out there on the summer stump.

They say it’s clearly a state delegate race that comes down to about 3 states. If Hillary keeps Obama states in her camp, she wins. If we can turn one or two, and not lose any Romney states, we can win this.

We learned in the Bush-Gore race about delegates. Gore won the popular vote but with the Supreme Court we dodged a bullet and Bush won the delegate race, (taking a few counties in Florida). Gore was desperate. Yikes! Scareeey!

Interesting only to the extent that it is interesting to see how tortured the language is that he uses to hide his true libertarian beliefs
