he's done a good job bringing OH backNot for the people who live here. He's starved local budgets and rewarded mightily his corporate and construction buddies. He totally ignored the state legislature with a bizarre bypass maneuver to implement expanded Medicaid.

This is a small positive. He’ll take a few votes from Jeb.

I'd wager that most of the "robust field of Republican hopefuls" are stepping in to marginalize the chances of Cruz and Walker rather than any sense of conservatism. Cruz and Walker (especially Cruz) has all who love government tyranny shaking in their boots. Time for us to redouble the building of volunteer structure and opening our wallets... BINGO

Looks like Jeb Bush, the idiot, has a lock. Any conservative may get five percent.
This is what worries me. Sixteen candidates...SO FAR...it increases the chance of RINO Jeb doing like Bill Clinton and winning the primary with a plurality.
A wild example, assuming everyone charts because their home state votes for them...when the dust settles Cruz has 21%, Rubio 8%, Huckabee 3%, Fiorina 2%, Paul 8%, Walker 20%, Kasich 2%, Carson 3%, Perry 2%, Miss Lindsey .005% etc., etc., etc. and Jeb squeaks by with something like 25%.
The endless parade of candidates is only increasing the odds of this in my opinion. It could go the other way and allow Cruz or Walker to rise to the top, but the primary rules vary in states. Basically, this all makes me very uneasy!

What’s going on?
Are the demoncRATS out there trying to convince every
John, Jeb, and Marco to run on the R party, for obvious reasons?

Then again, it might be better for every John Q. Rino to run so they don’t take votes from the legitimate Conservatives.

I do live in OH. The Medicaid stance is one of the government roles (that I disagree with) to which I was referring. Keep in mind, I’m a refugee from The People’s Republic of Maryland. Kasich is far and away better as a governor than what I fled and arrived to with Strickland.

He’ll drop out after he peels away enough “home state pride” votes in the Ohio primary to hand the splintered vote percentage victory to Jeb in the winner take all primary.
His reward will be the Veep slot on the ticket.

Since not everyone can see RINOs, that would not be good. It would take votes away from Cruz. If all Conservatives were on the same page, it might be different, IMHO. :)
