Purely from a strategic view, the GOP ticket needs at least one, if not two, candidates from a Great Lakes state. Scott Walker (WI) would be my first choice. Gov. John Kasich (OH) (provided he wins reelection easily this year, as he should) would be fine, as would Mike Pence (IN).

I thought I’d make a speech since the RINO’s have me so worked up with the games they play on us. They keep trying to throw “excrement” candidates at us to see if one of them will stick and help split the conservative vote in the primaries and caucuses.

STAND WITH THE BIG THREE AND DON’T LOOK BACK.

I THINK ONE OF THEM WILL STAND A CHANCE TO BEAT THE RINO ANNOINTED CANDIDATE.

Just not true. No one supports Palin et al more than me. Pence isn’t a faker.

Conservative talk is cheap when we need conservative action.

All we get from the GOP is liberal action like higher taxes and more spending. (The Paul Ryan Budget).

Buchanan liked Pence a while back. But when I looked into him, he was squishy on immigration.

I agree Walker may be the best candidate....very thick skinned too. Wonder if he has a good sense of humor to laugh off the smut that will be thrown at him?

I’ll stop yelling, but seriously, a party whose goal is to amend Obamacare to make it more “market friendly” does not inspire me very much to support it in 2014.

A party whose leaders push through a higher debt ceiling without being deposed by the majority of their members that techinically didn’t vote for the debt ceiling hike smells pretty bad to me.

The 95 percent of Republicans who don’t get it won’t get my support for any office including President of the United States.

I don’t think Walker is POTUS material. But Pence? Like someone said, full RINO on the inside.

I listened to Mike Pence for years... And what exactly... precisely... do you know about him?

“You want to lose don’t you. Cruz is too inexperienced....First term Senator...remember? Do you want another Obama?????? No results!”

43 years old? Hell, I would put him on the supreme court. How is that for a chief justice?

Forget Palin. Although she is the best choice, the wounds haven’t healed yet. Palin is President in 2024.

I like Walker but I’m afraid he would go squish with immigration. If he could be trusted, I would have him and Rubio or Haley. Reason for Rubio is as VP he is useless, but it will bring in Hispanic voters and satisfies the GOPe. And 8 years after that I have Palin in the White Hut.

You obviously don’t know Mike Pence. Like I said, I don’t think he can win. But if I could put him in the White House today... I would.

Where in the hell have you and these detractors come up with the idea Pence is some kind of stalking horse or RINO? He’s done a damn fine job as IN Governor.

Walker is our best bet. Proven track record of winning big and fighting for things he believes in.

Who is the dark horse? It takes 15 paragraphs for anybody to get to the point these days.
