Just because you have a candidate you really want to win and stand behind, doesn't make it happen.

The Republicans do need to be careful who they nominate, it can't be a has been, it has to be a fresh face.
The republicans will need to nominate someone that will actually attack Hillary's record . I like Ben Carson

^ ^ Ah, the same, tired old strategies of "elect anybody but a Democrat" and "we don't need no stinkin' new ideas"…. which obviously worked so well for the GOP in the last presidential elections?!

and tell us truthfully, would you support a Republican? From all your posts over the years,it is very unlikely.

Elect anyone but a Conservative has worked real well for the last 100 years, that brings us to the Police State and being the global Police, paid for by stolen taxes.
We built our own tyranny.

What positions have they modified, to avoid another 73-27% Latino trip to the woodshed, or the 67-31% single women trip to the woodshed Planet GOP took in 2012?
I'm not getting the theft of the "Blue Wall" expression from the police.

Have you read Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story or seen the TNT movie?

Yeah, let's here what positions the GOP has to modify in order to avoid another trip to the woodshed by Latinos. Does it include thumbing their noses at our immigration laws for them? You know, those pesky laws that our politicians are sworn to uphold.

It most likely requires Immigration Reform, yes, with a process which will enable some to become citizens. If you don't like that price,just recall 2012. It would be insane not to anticipate that 2012 Latino to GOP thumping repeatedly. Now when they do that, and Hillary is sworn in, and do recall there are 24 GOP Senate seats for grabs, don't wonder why you hate what action items are on DC's agenda.

By all means support him! He's one of the least electable candidates, so it would make Hilary a shoe in.

As I said before, Carson will probably wind up being a fleeting black version of Palin. Many of his views are so far off from the multitude he has no plausible chance.

Again, I'd love to see him as the nominee, maybe with Cruz as his running mate? That would be the ultimate token-minority Republican ticket.

Most people had a highly unfavorable view on him, which is why he has less of a chance to get elected than Paul would because he would just tap into the conservative vote like Goldwater and not build up a coalition of different view points like say Nixon, Reagan or Clinton.
I wouldn't worry about Cruz. There's nothing more that Obama would like to do as a parting gesture than punch Ted's ticket as he tries to shut down the government again.

But I don't think a shutdown will happen twice. Wiser heads in the GOP Senate than the Cruz won't ever let Ted go so far again.
