Doesnt matter how enthusiastic a liar is. He’s still a liar.

Seems like deja view all over again...

A field of no how, no chance, led by a no how, no chance.

That being said, I would vote for Ted Cruz, but none of the rest.

Indeed I think there is a fair amount of that. But among Republicans, I am sure most know who the players are.

Expand that to all 13 and I’ll agree with you. Not POTUS material among the lot.

I posted this earlier today, but the RINO wing and their FR support squad better consider it. Because it’s their future. We aren’t doing this again.
_____________

All we can do is elect enough of them to disband the club. That requires sacrifice on the part of the voter. They have to have principles and be willing to stand behind them even if it means the chance of losing.

For the tens of thousands of hours wasted by all of us on this issue it all comes doen to very very very simple math. Contrary to the RINO fans constant assertions, votes only go to those for which we cast them. voting for Daffy Duck does not result in a Barry vote.

That being the unarguable truth, we have to vote for conservatives. Last election proved some of us are not doing the RINO thing ever again, ‘no matter what’. So, that being the case, combined with the many who came to realize the futility of RINO voting since, A rino simply cannot win without us. We have to vote for them, for them to win.

Now since enough of us will not, The Republicans can either run people we WILL vote for or lose. The RINObots can either vote for conservatives or lose. They better learn. We do not care. We WILL NOT vote RINO. So they have to join us andd vote conservative unless they want the dems to win.

Math shows that will happen in 2016 if they do not vote with us for a conservative. Logically they should because they SAY is all about winning. So with our vote and their vore a conservative becomes president.

All they have to do is join us. It could not be any easier a solution, nor any easier an equation. They SAY they are conservative and we ARE conservative. There WILL BE conservatives on the primary ballot. All we do is vote together and we win. Simple.

Or they vote rino because they are frauds and lose. But they have been told and we have proven we will do it. And we will do it again. And again. Because we do not vote RINO.

When Romney is excluded from the poll, it's a virtual tie for first-place between Bush, Huckabee and Paul, with everyone else in single digits.

Huckster and Bush? Wow. Pretty much the only two candidates [along with Christie] I'd consider WORSE than Romney.

Guess who wins every time???????????????

Unlike a lot of FReepers I settled on Romney last time around, after Palin dropped out. I thought he was most likely to win.

Huh?

So you'd vote for a Progressive Liberal, because he could win and had an R next to his name?

There were certainly no conservatives involved and no real Republicans.

True, it is very hard to believe that Romney is really 7 times more popular among Republicans than Ted Cruz and Bush is more than 3 times better liked than Cruz, but still, the poll is a strong indication that Ted Cruz really isn't as overwhelmingly popular in the party or the country as he is with many people here.

A hint like that isn't something one can simply brush away.

It’s all in what you want for a result. Then you poll that demo. classic push polling.

Ted might not be on top. that I fully believe. But neither is Mittens.

As I said, I thought he was most likely to win.

I believe Palin stood down, because Romney was strong and had a (lot) of money, which would have been used against Palin 100%, not against Obama (which turned out to be true).

I’m sorry. I wanted Palin. Palin did not run last time around.

I settled on Romney. I now realize that was a mistake.

I don’t get the desire to cut ones own throat either. But plenty on FR have it.

Romney? Don’t make me laugh.
Maybe they’ll try and run McCain again.
A real winner for sure. /s

Get some 80s hair back while your out. That could solve a lot of problems. Big hair and mullets.

Teach Cruz to say “Well...there you go again” and we’re saved ;)

Just saying however.

NOBODY is supporting American businesses, in America.

Not Democrats. Not Republicans. Not Obama. Not Romney. No individual candidates in either party, are saying it is time to bring back American industry, for real.

NOBODY.

I think this time around (2016), someone, somewhere may step up for America. And find there are a whole huge lot of Americans ready to throw themselves completely behind supporting this.

I (hope) it is a Republican.
