What would your list look like?

[Ray76]

Karl Rove? John Boehner? John McCain? Mitch McConnell?

Zero cred.

These are all yesterday’s men.

[wardaddy]

This writer is dilletante

[TADSLOS]

Limbaugh, Palin, Cruz. Riding the fence on the Koch brothers. The rest on that published list can go to hell.

[ansel12]

Whether one agrees with the list or not, the writer seemed to be making an authentic list, and not just using it to add or leave off names to make a fake list to promote or cut out, like they usually do.

[Brasky]

Short list. Mark Levin. Cruz. Mike Lee. Rand Limbaugh

[Bratch]

Number one with a bullet:

The National Chamber of Commerce.

Evidently, they are the solitary voice that matters to the Republican establishment. What else could explain their Kamikaze efforts to enact amnesty for illegal aliens?

[Kolath]

Sarah Palin

[Rio]

Add Scott Walker

[Cringing Negativism Network]

I agree with the list.

The GOP has a serious identity crisis right now.

It is not resolved. I believe the list is accurate.

[Pelham]

I’ll second that.

[Pelham]

Unfortunately that appears to be the truth.

[Tau Food]

Of the people on that list, Ted Cruz is the only person who might run and win.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Perhaps, but did you notice who the author places near the top of the list?

[RitaOK]

Influential Republicans:

1. Trey Gowdy 2. Ted Cruz 3. Scott Walker 4. Mike Lee

5. Jeff Sessions 6. Most Any Freeper 7. Rand Paul

8. That reporter that covered the Gundy stand off

9. Rush Limbaugh 10. Mark Levine

[Tau Food]

I’m convinced Palin will not run. I think she feels that she got really burned the last time she ran for office. She’s probably right. There were many long knives out that year.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Either way she’s at least as influential as Hillary and Fauxcahobtas combined.

[Tau Food]

Oh, I agree. She has a lot of clout and she takes care to use it wisely, I think. She’ll be a force for quite a while.

“What would your list look like? “

Well it sure as hell wouldn’t look like this one. Most of the people on this list are part of the problem, not the solution. And the one’s here that would be on my list are on the wrong end of it for the most part.

[CyberAnt]

Double dittos.
