Polls don’t show much at this stage. They indicate little more than name recognition and/or the fleeting emotional reaction of the moment.
If Rubio becomes a threat to the left’s stranglehold on power, they will find someone who will lie about an alleged act 30 years ago and try to destroy him.
RE: Cruz in 2016. Accept no substitutes.
You got one problem... Some FReepers will bring up the “Natural Born” clause again.
OK, who’s left?
Haters gonna hate.
I stand with Rand. The future is now, and the revolution WILL be televised.
That's a good question. Two hundred and fifty years ago; there were other men among the Founders who didn't serve as President who would have made a better choice for the job than anyone running around now...
Me too, so far.
Man, this is some discouraging info.
I’m for a Cruz/Carson ticket. We need to start now. I can’t stand all the others!
You are missing my logic.
There’s no way in hell Bloomie could get elected.
But like Perot if he spends enough of his billions on adverts, he might pull 18-20% of the vote.
Most of which would come from Dems.
Giving us a plurality win, same way Clinton did in 92 and 96.
I don’t think any of them has a chance at all. Too bland, too afraid to raise their voices.
I doubt the 2016 election will be held...I think Our Friendly MARXIST will cancel it!!
RE: . Bush? He wouldn’t impress me even if he didn’t share a name with two recent presidents who accomplished too little in terms of rolling back government growth.
STAY OUT DA BUSHES.
No candidate will be good enough for many on here. We are lost!
So far, Ted Cruz has been the only "tea party Senator" to live up to the hype. I could care less if some "conservatives" want to claim he's "ineligible" because of some new interpretation of the constitution they made up yesterday. They're as likely to get traction with that idea as those on the left who want an international court to arrest Bush & Cheney and try them for war crimes. (likewise, the "Abolish the 17th amendment" movement on the right will have as much success as the "abolish the 22nd amendment" on the left) I guess they'll have fun with their circle jerk but they won't get anyone else to drink the kool-aid or even give them an audience to promote their idea.
I have no one in mind. The amnesty brothers Rubio and Paul are just setting themselves up to split the conservative base. Bachamnn is the best one out there, but she was attacked in the primaries. And she has no interest left in running now. Palin don’t seem interested either in running and she is the next best person out there to me. Maybe Allen West or Jim DeMint or Dr. Ben Carson. But of the listed choices...none.
over 3 years out... good grief!
Not really. The days of sitting on your duff and then throwing your hat into the ring a year before the election are over. Anyone who seriously wants to run needs to be getting their campaign machinations in place today --if not yesterday.
Racist. :)
