One has to wonder, do these guys surround themselves with “yes men” to the point they don’t realize people like us Freepers (or any conservatives for that matter) do not want them running, or are they so isolated they have absolutely no clue there is any resentment towards them running in 2016?
Madness .....
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum both came in third at 6 percent, while Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul tied for fifth with 5 percent.
That sure is the key, but I don’t see it outside a structured apparatus with a convention and a page to all be on, at the same time.
RNC & Establishment look forward to splitting us 6 ways from Sunday, money and all other essentials.
2008 redux!
This poll is garbage. Absolutely meaningless.
So why participate in such stupid poll? Why pick from one of those listed?
Usually there’s a ‘none of the above’ or ‘undecided’ choice given.
I won’t vote for either.
Not to worry. The Iowa Republican Caucus has NOT been a very good predictor.
Since 1976, excluding any sitting Republican presidents, they selected only one winner: George W Bush in 2000.
76 - Ford, lost to Carter
80 - GHW Bush, lost to Reagan who won
84 - Reagan unopposed
88 - Bob Dole, lost to GHW Bush who won
92 - GHW Bush unopposed
96 - Bob Dole (again — they luv losers), lost to Clinton
00 - George W. Bush, won
04 - George W. Bush unopposed
08 - Huckabee, lost to McCain who lost to Obama
12 - Romney, no recount for Santorum, lost to Romney who lost to Obama
GOPe -
What? You don’t want Romney? Ok we’ll go with Bush.
You don’t want Bush? Ok we’ll go back to Romney.
Now say you don’t like Romney? Geez, make up your mind.
Here we go again. Whatever, it will be Jeb or Romney. Neither will be helpful. Both are proud members of the Government Party’s minor subsidiary. Either will work hard to make the Democrat/Socialist/Sharia innovations and usurpations of the last two administrations more efficiently managed and effective. Neither understands Economics any better than Daddy Bush does nor cares.Either will better protect a nation they are destroying from outside destruction. Either will continue to import Moslem Jihadists as “refugees” in large numbers. But it doesn’t matter. Neither will win against any Democrat at all because both are in it for the recognition that the Nomination confers and nothing more.
Almost no one does participate. That’s why it’s garbage.
This poll is garbage. Absolutely meaningless.
Exactly. People here sure get their ire up for nothing.
No to Romney. Hasn’t he lost enough already?
Vote for as many RINO’s as you like.
It’s worked out good for you hasn’t it?
Dole
McCain
Romney
I’d be looking for something different. Your way has not worked.
Thanks for those reassuring words. I was one of those people feeling up in arms and sick to my stomach. You are right, the poll is meaningless at this point. Again thanks, I was getting ready to get very depressed about this.
No kidding.
they don’t really give a crap what freepers think.
that’s just the reality.
Who were the other candidates?
I think that Rand Paul had been in the lead in previous polls in Iowa. This means that Rand Paul’s foreign policy idiocy is having a negative effect. The more people find out about Rand Paul the less they like him.
As far as we know, Romney isn’t even running.
