I don’t think anyone is giving up...(well maybe a few)
I think it’s just major disappointment in past elections and the utter failure of the party when it was given all three branches.
Call it a conditioned response.
Good. I hope they both split the RINO vote, and everyone needs to rally around either Ted Cruz or Scott Walker.
I have vowed to raise $2 million dollars for his campaign. If I can do so in my current circumstances, what could a younger person with energy and vitality do and if so, what could a few million such people do?
Well....that is a laudable goal.
I have never got myself too deep into fundraising. I was not a very sociable fellow when I was younger, and now I am a unsociable curmudgeon.
Hope you meet and exceed your goal! It’s the basis of the democratic process and I assume you are talking about Cruz.
I like him..and if he is the nominee he will get my vote.
After the way they attack/ed Sarah Palin, yeah.
I’m hoping they exhaust themselves, and when the ‘winner’ is barely keeping his head above water ....
then we’ll toss him a boat anchor.
Me, either. But somehow, I raised $40,000 for Fred in that short window he was in.
I had nearly forgotten that time period..He did have a lot of support here on FR..I thought he was a decent Senator and did a fine job with his committee from what I saw of various hearings. But I never gave him much chance of winning a national election and did not think he was strong enough to last through a rigorous campaign. All that aside, he was the best of the also ran’
s in my opinion.
These things are all important aspects of a candidate. The 2016 run is only in it’s infancy. There is going to be many candidates and many tests for them. If fact it will be the best slate we have probably ever put up and they are all young and vigorous.
The 2012 and 2008 slates sucked by comparison.
But there is a underlying issue with the Conservatives here on FR and elsewhere that the GOP will have to deal with at some point, or they may well lose again, only with bigger loss percentages if they continue to refuse to acknowledge us or the fiscal conservative tea party and the religious right. Together we can sink their boat perhaps permanently.
Most of us will not just vote for the nominee no matter who it is this time.
I do hope they get the message. I do hope they do...
No. This is RINOs in a circular firing squad,. Didn’t Romney torpedo McCain with some dirty tricks back in 2000? Let them trash each other, then a conservative candidate, above it all, can emerge.

Actually it was the other way around.
now that Mitt is out,
We ALL have to ban together to dump Jeb.
Looks like we’ll have to wait to find out the ramifications of Mitt staying out of the race - first he’s got a deal to help Bush, now he’s doing it to help Christie. Next thing it will be to atone with the SPCA for putting his dog on top of the car.
Yeh Crispy is such a great Mitt supporter he almost forgot to mention Mitt in the 2012 Republican keynote speech. LOL!
