As I’ve said before, the GOPe doesn’t realize that after Romney, they’ve lost the ‘hold-your-nose-and-vote’ voters. You’d think they’d have learned, but obviously not.

Fixed it.

His opponent, David Watts was extraordinarily qualified for the office and is a core conservative. Low information Republican voters in Texas pulled the lever because the candidate was a Bush. There was no other reason to vote for him.

I voted for Watts, but I never saw a sign or an ad campaigning for him as Land Commissioner! If you don't tell people who you are and what you stand for, you don't stand a chance; and of course you are going to lose!

Conservatives need their own conventions before the GOP ones to decide on conservative candidates


I’ve been saying this. If we don’t rally around one or two our vote will be diluted. The tea party needs to help with this. True tea party not the hollywood version. Wish we could have a fair and true conservative primary before the primary. Cpac was deluged with Paul voters.

If Jeb is your nominee you might as well bend over and kiss your hiney goodbye.

If JEB is such a brilliant "conservative," why has his son moved to Texas to run for office. Wouldn't one expect him to want to stay in Florida, where he might benefit from his father's "competent" state-craft?

Just joking. They both display a lack of consistent dedication to anything that most of us would want to be a party to.

The problem is the dead end candidate. aka delusional candidate. These are candidates who will NEVER have any money, NEVER have any viability, and generally are just plain nuts.

There are ample true conservatives with real resources. We just have to stop wasting time with deadenders who are often funded by democrats.

” Latinos probably wouldn’t”

This one certainly won’t-he is still part of the GOP establishment-and the words “political” and “dynasty” do not belong in the same sentence, ever...


Good deal. The GOPe is as bad as democrats.

And my point was that his supporters parade his wife as some sort of token Latino. They’re assuming that Latinos would be attracted to him because his wife is Latino. I don’t care if his wife is Chinese, Black, Italian, Latino, etc. I care about where he stands on the issues.

I am a Ted Cruz fan!

It may be time to activate an “Anyone-But-Bush” THIRD PARTY. I guess we need:

Unpaid “National” leadership in Washington, DC
Offices set up in each of the 50 states.
Frequent interviews on TV to repeat: Is the GOP “establisnment” CRAZY?

The GOP “establisment” has blown two elections already.

The American Dream is NOT to make its “consultant” class rich...

You spent a lot of intellectual effort to simply state that another mushy, middle of the road, moderat, progressive RINO will simply lose, like the preceeding 2.

I will join the Conservative group that sat out in 2012 if the R candidate is Jeb, Christie, Huckabee or Kasic (as well as others.)

We must nominate an unashamed constitutional conservative.

What’s worse, ignorance or apathy? I don’t know, nor do I care.

“2014 is pretty meaningless. It’s 2016 that is huge. And what is the GOPs answer to that? A war on Conservatives.”

If the GOP successfully puts the Tea Party in its place this fall, then they will be empowered to fight that war even harder. This fall is MUCH more important than 2016. If the DC elite win, then the people lose and will probably never have another chance to regain our liberty.

If they(conservatives) run Jeb Bush, i will never vote for another GOP candidate again! They better get this message because i am not the only one i know saying this.

I am right there with you. 2012 was the very last time I will ever vote for the lesser of two evils.

We are too close to losing our Republic forever. Bush is extremely rabid for full amnesty. That idiot has no concern that it will utterly destroy our Republic as Founded. Amnesty is true checkmate for our Republic.
