Let's get this straight ... hillary's name is out there because they have nobody to run .. not against the Republicans ... but with the American people

America has awakened and we're more politically aware and savvy and the dumbocrats know they can't pull another obola on us.

Personally ... I think some sort of dictatorship will develope that will force our hand into an armed conflict ... at which time we will be SO fractured (unions strike ... leave the docks unattended, f'rinstance) .. it will be chaos

Either that or we raise Norman Rockwell from the dead and make him PR man.

The GOP slogan should be “Four more years of Obama.”

This election is the Republicans to win or lose depending on who they choose to run.

If they give us another McCain or Romney they’ll have thrown away the election.

The white male vote that stayed home in ‘12 because polling had Romney winning.... probably aren’t going to be taking that risk in ‘16. We need to appeal to them.. ‘We need YOU to cancel out your wife’s vote!’

Neither Cleveland in 1888 nor Gore in 2000 won a majority of the popular vote. They won a plurality but less than 50% of the total votes cast.

The 'Rats may have "won" the popular vote 5 of the last 6 times, but only 2 of those were majorities.

In the last 70 years there have been only 3 times when a Democratic nominee received 51% of the popular vote--LBJ in 1964 and Obama in 2008 and 2012. Carter apparently got barely more than exactly half of the popular votes, but less than 51%.

Since the Civil War, the Democrats have won 51% of the popular vote only 7 times--the 3 just mentioned and the 4 times FDR ran for President.

Of course what matters is the electoral college, where they have an advantage. The Republican must win most of the evenly-divided states to win.

Another RINO licker speaking out of their ignorance...

I voted for both of your losers, both Romney and McCain.

I’m through voting for losing candidates.

Why don’t we get Hillary to run under the GOP so you can vote for her? Maybe we can get Kerry to run as her VP. You’d vote for any candidate with an R, right?

You’re the one who said to me - “The white male vote that stayed home in ‘12 because polling had Romney winning....”

You sound like a RINO who seems to have issues with White Males. You’d be the perfect Hillary voter. Maybe we can get her to run with the GOP. She hates Conservatives and TEA Party folk nearly as much as Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn.

How about we force the GOP to stop maneuvering the elections in favor of their establishment choices and instead run to win? Or are you looking forward to a Jeb Bush run?

Only Jeb Bush can lose to Hillary. That’s why the RNC will get him nominated. Only Romney could have lost in 2012. Only McCain could have lost in 2008. Seeing a pattern here?

The GOP exists at this point to block conservatives from power. The sooner we wake up to that reality and abandon it, the better off we’ll be.

Ask around: Washington is pretty certain Hillary Clinton is the favorite to win the White House. Democrats have a natural turnout advantage in presidential years, seasoned political operatives reason. Five of the past six popular-vote tallies have gone to the Democratic candidate. And early polls that show Clinton sporting a big lead, especially among women, have strategists wondering how the Republican nominee could ever catch up.

This is what I have been saying for years. Over half the nation is dependent on big government for some portion of their livelihoods. The GOP can't win another election. We are getting dumber and dumber every generation. And dumb = Democrat rule = servitude and slavery.
