As a Berkeley liberal, I'm convinced that whomever the Democrats nominate as their 2016 presidential candidate will soundly defeat the GOP nominee. Nonetheless, I'd like to see a sensible Republican candidate, one that agrees with me (and most voters) on the important national issues. Unfortunately, we've yet to see signs of intelligence in this set of GOP candidates.
The most recent Huffington Post summary of Republican Candidate Polls shows a tightly bunched group. The top ten are Florida Senator Marco Rubio (13.2 percent), Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (12.7 percent), former Florida Governor Jeb Bush (10.9 percent), retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson (9.1 percent), Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (9 percent), former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (8.6 percent), Texas Senator Ted Cruz (7.9 percent), New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (4.6 percent), former Texas Governor Rick Perry (2.5 percent), and Ohio Governor John Kasich (2.1 percent).
These GOP candidates seem content to pander to their base, tell them how much they hate President Obama and how badly they want to re-invade Iraq. However, it's informative to examine their positions on issues that most informed Americans care about -- that, is voters other than Republicans.
Under the Obama Administration stock values have more than doubled, corporate profits have tripled, and 12.6 million private sector jobs have been added....

Corporate profits are up under Obama? I thought that corporations were EEEVVILLL!
Typical leftist article wherein mere assertion is a fact.
To all Liberal DemoRATS - GO F yourself
As a “Berkeley liberal”..... who gives a rats ass what you think.
Puffington... puffs more than Obamas wanger..
Their statistics are an Obamanation..
Why would you want a Republican who agreed with you to run? That would take away votes from your Democrat candidate. You should want us to run a REAL CONSERVATIVE against your Democrat candidate, so that your candidate can receive all the liberal votes, and our candidate can receive all the rest of the votes, and then we’ll see if America has any future as America.
Berkeley liberals feel that they are so superior to the rest of us, that he had to identify himself as such. So that we can revere his great wisdom and insights and all that.
Duuuhhhh, dis Bob Burnett is real, real smart. I never thunk about wut he sez before. Now I see da light and will votes for Hillary.
If I were a father, I think I’d rather have my young son or daughter tell me and their mother at the meal table what they read in Hustler or Playboy than what ever garbage they’d read at the PuffHo’s site.
You could search forever for such in democrats and never find that. They have the stupid disease and there is no cure.
Well, there isn’t any intelligent life in the GOP, OR the DNC. Screw ‘em all. Long live Conservatism.
At least the Republicans have a diverse field. The Democrats are typical tyrants offering no choice to their slaves.
Yea, let’s let the liberals decide who the next Republican candidate should be. /sarc
I’d Like to see signs of intelligent life at the, “Huffington Post”, Politics Blog...
Lol @ PuffHo. Good stuff! +1
All that I can say to the writer is that the Obama bumper sticker on your car bumper might just as well say that ‘I am stupid!”
“Berkeley liberal” ... isn’t that being redundant?
Because: (Jim) Beam me up Scotty...
