That is when we need a strong leader the most.

I don't think it is a case of "Do we dare..."

It is a case of, "How can we possibly..."

A Tea Party president or even a conservative one is a pipe dream.

So we should allow things to hit rock bottom, and then try again in 2020 or 2024 for the presidency????

So there is nothing a GOP president can do, to alleviate the situation, if elected in 2016?

True enough. However, if we elect a dim-bulb-crat, the MSM druids will continue to lie such that whatever happens will be concealed or the blame transferred.

And the public, being primarily schooled by education majors in our pubic (misspelling intended) schools, will march in lockstep into oblivion.

And the gays, of course, will do nothing except continue to be concerned with nothing other than who they’ll boink tonight...while simultaneously demanding that we close any business that actually tells them what most of us actually think.

I don’t see it happening.

Too much ideological and political bulimia going on.

This seems like a real possibility unless a good leader could really start to turn things around,which is badly needed. I guess the real question is whether or not a good leader could accomplish enough in a short enough period of time. This current “leadership” has certainly fouled the nest for everyone.

such a strategy would only work if people have simple reasoning skills. But unfortunately the majority can barely tie their shoes much less connect the dots of who is at fault.

Even if the left held all three branches of government for the next 10 years and things went to hell in a handbasket. They would STILL blame the Republicans, or the rich, or the Koch brothers, or Rush, or basically anyone but themselves. And since the media will amplify whatever message the left chooses to use. The gullible majority will believe the that everything is still somehow the evil republicans fault, or at least the evil rich peoples fault who the Republicans protect.

No, this won't work as a strategy. Plus and perhaps most important... dont forget about the Supreme court. Several of our conservative judges are getting up there in age... and we honestly cant afford to lose even one.

A horrible economic reckoning is coming, and the masses and the media will lay the blame for it on whoever/whichever party holds the presidency when it hits.

No, the media will blame Republicans or conservatives no matter what.

The masses will demand a government that will take care of them so we'll likely end up with open Marxism (vs. the secretive variety we "enjoy" today.)

The Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) will blame Republicans no matter who is actually “in charge”. Better to actually have some prayer of heading off or minimizing the coming damage than try to earn political points that won’t come anyway.

I think Hilary wins no matter what...and the folks peddling the economic sky is falling BS have been doing so all of my adult life and they are always wrong as to their forecasts but they always make money, something along the lines of what PT Barnum once said.

His reasoning went along the following lines: A horrible economic reckoning is coming, and the masses and the media will lay the blame for it on whoever/whichever party holds the presidency when it hits.
BS the media has given Obama a free ride for the last five years also only Republicans are elected the democrats get selected see JFK and Obama.

...it’s best that the low-information voters who are finally, rudely jolted awake get a good, long look at the kind of politician who has never met a spending increase or entitlement program he or she didn’t like.

So when that happens how will that help the Republicans?

The RINOs are planning to throw it anyway, and various so-called conservatives will help them because they despise the Tea Party

Here's the problem..the majority in country is so dumbed down that will believe what they are told.

The control the entertainment so people take there daily dose on propaganda willing ..they will not buck the group think and be and outcast. .. The education system is designed to not give you tools to think on your own ..it proselytize for the lefts ideal of the moment. The news is not news..it is party line.

Steve is self-employed. He makes his living by studying the financial markets and publishing a specialized newsletter, for which his subscribers around the world pay him to advise them on financial forecasting.

Based on Steve's political forecasting, I would RUN fast and far away from his financial forecasting.

I’m to a point that if it is not a conservative I am not voting for the candidate. Not after the way the establishment has treated conservative candidates. Less and Less interest in a Republican winning. Conservative or bust.
