Are they even permitted to write an article without mentioning Citizens United? And where did the Left get the idea that Rand Paul speaks to the values and the ideals of the GOP base? Rand Paul?

If you're not familiar with it, The Nation is very far left.

Were it left to me, I’d probably retire the “clown car” analogy for the crowded 2016 Republican presidential contest...

...because, truth be told, the Democrat field looks even more likely to be caught wearing greasepaint and rubber noses.

The presumed front-runners for the nominations of both major parties are the wife of one former president and the son and brother of two former presidents. Both Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush, no matter what their other strengths, begin the 2016 race with the presidential-level name recognition that most other candidates can only dream of. But Trump does not have to dream. He is a son of privilege whose determination to grab the spotlight has, over many decades of publicity grabbing, gained celebrity that is proximately presidential.

So, in this guys estimation, Billy Carter would have been a viable candidate.

I think Trump will make things interesting, if nothing else.

Sort of like when Kinky Friedman ran for governor of Texas.

He won’t win...but having become a cynic...whoever the establishment wants to win...will.

Once again, no real consideration of what he’s saying, if it might attract voters and why.

...Scott Walker...his disapproval rating in recent polling of Wisconsinites is 55 percent.

Wow! Paul Ryan did not carry his home state of WI as the GOP VP candidate in 2012. Should Walker be the nominee, I wonder..... Could he be another Al Gore and not even carry his home state?

fall debates....If Trump is excluded or diminished by Republican debate planners, count on him to raise a ruckus. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Yeah; like running as an Independent/Third Party candidate and handing the election to Hillary. That is my greatest fear about the Election of 2016.
