While he’s doing that, guess I’ll actively explore things I can do other than voting in ‘16.

Well shoot fire, if ol’ Jeb can run then by all means let’s get Mittens and McLame back in the primaries too! It’ll be like a walk down memory lane!

Well if you “actively win” the GOP nomination, you can “actively expect” I will not vote for you.

I would take just about any Bush over any Clinton, but I am damn tired of both “dynasties.”

Lets get someone with conservative free market ideas and disdain for big government.

If either he or Christy end up the candidate then I’ll kick up my heels and NOT vote, exactly as I didn’t vote for Romney.

I wish he’d go “actively explore” Siberia, or the mountains of Peru, or anywhere other than North America.

I don’t recall an instance of an “Exploratory Committee” leading to a non-candidacy.

He’s in, and he’s running. His last name alone makes him damaged goods. His liberalism makes him a non-starter for me.

Right now, I think Scott Walker or Rand Paul are the best bet for the Republicans, though I tend to dislike most all politicians.

I love Cruz the most, but he won’t be able to win, because he’s not attractive in appearance. I know that’s shallow as hell, but that’s the nature of our stupid electorate these days.
