The GOP's problem is partly because of the primary system, which is requiring their field of candidates to "out-conservative" one another. The other problem is that none of their field are capable of winning that primary and having any sort of independent appeal.

Independents, like myself, decide the presidential elections. Not the partisans. All the red meat Cruz, Palin et. Al throw out makes good soundbites that play well to the crowd, but that crowd is not voting for the Democrat in 2016 no matter what. It plays well in the South and other states the GOP has in the bag.

Every presidential race, as we go along, seems to have a progressively worse pair of candidates than the one before. There is no reason to think this trend isn't going to continue.

Default TheNew GOP!

The new leadership has discovered during their time as minority and under the rule of Reid (He's not in Federal Prison yet?) what Americans are really looking for. American want some how our lives to improve and have the security we need to raise Families.

If the GOP continue to pass measures to clean up the economy and keep on the straight and narrow the GOP will win.
Its when any party becomes to big in their self worth which caused change in leadership Historically in thi country.

Blind faith? Have you been on a desert island? The GOP just opened up a can on you and you say blind faith?

so, if you are independent then can't you think for yourself? Does conservative language offend you?

What makes you say that, and what makes you think that it requires me to be offended to not vote for someone?

Guamanians, Independents do think for themselves. That means parties must EARN their vote. Are you fearful the GOP is not up to that task?

Bob also predicted VW would not add the CrossBlue SUV to their Chattanooga plant, due to interference of 'tennessee politicians' in the defeat of the uaw. Like a West Texas wind, it blows hard, but not much there.

Bob you predicted 6 lost Senate seats for Dems in 2014. The actual was 9 so you were 33 percent off. And that was only 4 months before the election, so what makes you think now that you can predict almost two years ahead?
