So I assume you will be abstaining from voting in 2016 or you can waste your time and go write in someone without a snowballs chance in Hades on the ballet.

I can't believe that the GOP would be stupid enough to let that happen. Some of the behind the scenes people that control the cash would put a stop to Cruz, they know that he can't win in the general election.

Has any Presidential candidate ever won all 50 states? If Cruz is the GOP nominee, there is a good chance that could happen.

Several sources are reporting that the Kochs have pulled their support from Walker. His boneheaded comments about halting legal immigration ticked them off big time. They hire a lot of H1B employees for their various businesses and as libertarians they support unlimited immigration and open borders. Walker jumped the shark trying to impress the teabaggers.

Yep. It looks like it's shaping up to be a primary between Rubio and Bush. Smart money's on Bush, conservative money is on Rubio.

If it ends up Bush vs Hildabeast, I'm moving to the Michigan UP to become a hermit.

Will the last person please turn off the lights when they follow behind me?

Bush is not getting in it... He has pushed his protege to enter.
World, my name is Marco Rubio.


I would not be surprised, if we are not looking at the only individuals entering as Republicans.

Liberals said the same things about Reagan that they're now saying about Ted Cruz. They called Reagan an "ultraconservative" (which he was), "extremist," "hard right," etc. Guess what Reagan won two terms. He won all but 6 states+DC over Carter, and all but 1 state+DC over Mondale.

And before someone says 'yeah but the demographics were different,' the political spectrum was different. The conservative right in 1980 was nowhere near the force that it is today. Reagan, as even Pres. Obama has said, was a transformative leader. Richard Nixon would be considered a liberal Democrat by today's standards, and certainly to the left of a Hillary Clinton or even Barack Obama. Nixon imposed wage/price controls, supported a ban on handguns, and increased federal spending by leaps and bounds.
