    Kasich was mentioned in the thread that was closed. He would be good. He's handsome, well-spoken, knowledgeable, and very electable.

    Unlike the Ds, the Rs have several good candidates.:smile:

    Handsome?

    Just what we need another celebrity, Fox News contributor. Did you know he was also an investment banker, for Lehman Brothers who's bankruptcy filing is the largest in US history, and is thought to have played a major role in the unfolding of the late-2000s global financial crisis, where he received a 1/2 million dollar bonus the year the 4th largest investment firm filed bankruptcy, a bonus that was over twice his normal salary. Then from there on to Fox News, and a skip and a jump into the governors mansion.

    Sounds like somebody who knows the system alright, or at least how to play it..

    Come on, seriously. These are the only people the republican party can come up with. Are you trying to seal a Clinton victory.

    Birddog, true or false...

    no matter WHO wins the GOP Nomination in 2016....you'll call them a...not just "good"....but GREAT candidate. Even if it's somebody the rest of the Right have called a "RINO" in the past like Jeb Bush or Chris Christie?

    Or a guy like John Kasich who AGREED to expand his state's Medicare under "Obamacare"?

    It won't matter who the Republicans nominate. As long as they are allied with the Tea Party and the Evangelicals, they will lose because they alienate blacks, browns, women, gays, etc.
    The ONLY group that they attract are white males over 40 - and in the last 2 elections, that wasn't enough.

    False! I don't recall saying that either McCain or Romney were Great candidates other than in comparison to the democrat candidates perhaps. Any RINO would be better than any democrat! Many of the so called "RINOs" have conservative qualities especially compared to the dims. We will not find a perfect candidate, but I will support who the Republican Party nominates. As Reagan said, it's better to get part of the pie than none of the pie!

    And there it is again, the epitome of a party loyalist calling other people partisan. Still funny.

    then?

    Birddog....you first denied.....then ADMITTED my post was right.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Brew, I'll love to see you alienate your own side of the aisle in 2016....calling the GOP Nominee a "sell-out".

    Because I KNOW that nobody you would support or would support your agenda....will be the GOP Nominee.

    So either you'll get your buddies on the Right pissed off at you.....or you'll "sell out" .

    What does that have to do with the irony/hypocrisy of the site's biggest paid shill calling other people partisan?

    Sure, you can call me that, but it probably wouldn't have much traction. Whereas I can point out the fact that you've created 1,250 threads with most of them coming from the same 2 left-wing sources.

    I suppose if I created numerous threads on a daily basis (your average is 1.75 a day, every day for almost 2 straight years since joining), with nearly every thread coming from the same one or two sources, you might have an argument.

    And it's kind of hard to miss your polluting presence on the board, Gorn. No obsession needed.

    Well, no worries. "Soon" you'll be moving to some "white Nationalist" country in Europe, right?....and won't have to bother with me. :)

    I'm a while male 40+ and they don't attract me. In fact, I'm pretty repulsed by them.

    Do you really think that Dem voters in the large Blue States will vote for a Repub such as Kasich instead of the Dem candidate? The Repub will vote for an idiot zombie as long as he's a Repub but their votes don't count.

    Romney has the fame, and Christie was popular before Bridgegate, ahead of Clinton in the polls. Bridgegate is too bad as it turned at to be slander, yet it has still hurt his ratings even though we now know it was fake. Bridgegate will go away a lot by 2015, and his ratings will improve. Clinton can't use it against him as she know's it's a false allegation. Christie has a good shot.

    The rest of the Republicans will be doomed if they run against Clinton, given her popularity.

    The only votes that count are the Dem votes, and any Independent votes they pick up, in the Blue States. It's completely irrelevant what happens in the Red States. The Repub candidate could get every single vote in the Red States and he would still lose. The only polls that matter are the ones that ask the Dem voters in the Blue States who they will vote for. It's a complete waste of time and money to poll voters in the Red States.

    Christie has the best chance of anyone in the GOP. I agree with you on that. However, he's nowhere near conservative enough to win the nomination. The base is too far right for him. Shame for the GOP really. You pretty much have to be unelectable in a general Presidential election to win the GOP nomination these days.

    You mean the group whose votes aren't largely based upon the racist, sexist, and perverted views of the far left? The problem for the country isn't that most white males over 40 don't vote for such divisive and self-destructive things; the problem for the country is that so many others like you do.

    Have you ever heard of the "independent vote?" Also, "getting the vote out?" Some blue states are likely hopeless, but some are not.

    So what you're really saying is that Dems will vote for any idiot zombie as long as he or she is a Dem, but will never vote for a practical conservative like Kasich. Yeah that sounds about right.

    FWIW, I see Rand Paul and Rick Perry as the two who are commanding most of the attention right now, with maybe Ted Cruz a distant 3rd.

    1. How does Rand overcome the Neo-Cons, Hawks, and "Israel Firsters" on the Religious Right?

    2. How does Perry overcome....Perry? :)

    Hmmmm...

    Presidential parasitical possibilities.

    For we all know that all politicians are parasites feeding off of the enslaved.
