This is the only way they can square off with Hillary and actually put up a fight.

Do Rubio and Cruz count as minorities? They don't have a hope in hell.

No, they don't count.

So your saying the only way republicans have a chance is if they run a minority, except for all the minorities that they will run. Maybe if the republicans ran a 70 year old white liberal democrat they would have a chance.

Condi Rice (black and lesbian?) has a shot but she's too much of a RINO - pro-choice, gay friendly, pro-affirmative action, national standards rather than local school curriculum, more investment in renewable energy, pro free trade, illegals can stay....

You mean like: "Hey AF community, vote for us and we will stop Illegal Immigration, giving you a better chance at jobs"?

The right wing clown car is about to fill up with an even more despicable gang of creeps than last time. The usual suspects will cheer them on, completely oblivious that their favorite brand of crazy will make Bush their front runner in the end. They did it last time with Romney when all the religious freaks, bigots and misogynists ran along side him. They sincerely believed people like Huckabee, and Santorum could be our next POTUS. That's how disconnected these people are from reality.

The problem then, even for a moderate Republican, is that they have to drag themselves back from the fringe right primary. But by then, they've made insane comments to appease their insane base, and the majority of Americans simply don't jive with those types of talking points. They have to own them going forward.

What a balancing act it must be to win a GOP primary and then try to talk like a normal human being to the rest of the country.

The last time the Democrats have won back to back Presidencies was in 1944. You think they are going to start now and with a woman? LOL, please. America spoke loudly last year when they ousted Democrats and replaced them with Republicans in both the house and the senate. Obama has ruined it for Democrats in 2016 the same way the last Bush ruined any hopes Jeb has of winning anything in 2016. Hillary will never get the majority Latino vote she needs to win, especially if she is up against Cruz or Rubio, two men of Hispanic descent regardless of their party. Latinos don't care weather there is a D or an R next to the Latino name, they are voting for them. Especially if the competition is a white woman.
