At this point, it appears that the fate of the next presidential election depends on a women, and a communist. That is because, the Republican party has a reputation for finding creative ways to throw elections. Like alienating 50% - 70% of their potential voting block. Thus far, each nominee looks as out of touch as the next. Just another loser parade of establishment Rinos. Are they even trying anymore???

If ever there is an election worth staying home for, the next presidential election will be it. America has never required a viable 3rd party this bad in generations. Does anyone really believe a Republican candidate stands a chance?

Of course a Republican stands a chance but they need to nominate a viable candidate. It is so true that there are way too many candidates right now but they will get whittled down.
The last thing America needs is another Clinton or Bush. Been there done that America deserves better.

Sadly, there is truth in the OPs words. Two major factors-a low information electorate, painfully so. And a mainstream media that will do everything in their power to throw any election in favor of Democrats (Candy Crowler anyone?). In '12, Obama had demonstrated his incompetence and his willingness to lie to the American people. It was no surprise. Yet, between a poorly run Republican campaign and a biased media, the low info crowd managed to be conned into voting for Obama a second time. More evidence of the falling IQ in recent decades.

The Republicans have 31 governorships to 18 for Democrats. Republicans control 70% of state legislative bodies.
Wave, Continued: GOP Will Control 70 Percent of All State Legislative Chambers - Guy Benson

Republicans control the US House and US Senate. So yes, we stand a chance.

Jerry Ford stands a chance if the (D) nominee is Hillary.

You guys are still butt hurt that the moderator called out a blatant lie?

I realize you depend on an uninformed, reactionary electorate in order to have any shot of winning, but come on.

Sure, if one can really stand out, if they stop infighting, if they stick together. But our liberal media has decided Hillary will be our next President. So, we're doomed.

Yes, we are annoyed that a moderator blatantly lied, and refused to call Obama on his lie.

Or are you among the brain damaged that actually believed that the attack was over a youtube video? If so, I have a whole bunch of money I need to get out of my bank in Nigeria....

If they do far, far better with Latinos, they have a slim chance at POTUS. If not, no they do not have a realistic path to 270.

How much of this impression is based on the fact that journalists are geared toward emphasizing the flaws in political candidates, especially Republicans. What do you really know about these people beyond the media spin?
