Republicans: Who is your current favorite?

Actually, it was the self-assessment of Republicans

GOP.com: Growth and Opportunity Project

"....It is imperative that the RNC changes how it engages with Hispanic communities to welcome
in new members of our Party.

If Hispanic Americans hear that the GOP doesn’t want them in the United States, they won’t pay
attention to our next sentence. It doesn’t matter what we say about education, jobs or the economy;
if Hispanics think that we do not want them here, they will close their ears to our policies. In essence,
Hispanic voters tell us our Party’s position on immigration has become a litmus test, measuring
whether we are meeting them with a welcome mat or a closed door......."

Note the word "imperative" not it "would be nice if..."

Interesting how you handled my well-supported argument by merely doubling down on your impressions: rational argument answered by emotion. Ignorance continues for those that do not take the opportunity to consider the evidence that is contrary to their views.

You have your misguided impressions. I have done my part to enlighten you, but something about being led to water....

Good luck in 2016. The Republicans are going to get slaughtered if you go with Trump or Cruz. It will be fun.

I am sure there are a few RINOs IE phony republicans who support amnesty are spewing that liberal line of how we got to suck the dicks of the pro-amnesty crowd like democrats do and other liberal nonsense.Again it didn't work with McCain nor did it work with Romney. So the idea that republicans need to move left is absurd.


I will disagree with your claim that Cruz will get slaughtered by Clinton.Her numbers are going down while Cruz's is rising.

I'm going fishing. I got an extra seat in the boat. Just help out on the bait and the beer and it's your's.

I will be ready to go. Better get in as much fishing as possible in case Hillary gets elected and wants make us get background checks to buy a fishing pole. The last time I went fishing the game warden made me feel like a was a bank robber. I almost canceled fishing and took the kid home after talking to him for 30 minutes.

Again, I posted a professional study conducted at the bequest of the Republican National Committee and you simply don't want to believe it.

I think the real answer here deals with how stacked the electoral college is against the Republicans and that McCain and Romney are as close as you can get....Republicans just can not comprehend just how far out of their grasp 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is.

That is all nice, but there are two major flaws with taking stock in current polls of hypothetical one-on-one presidential match-ups:

1) No one is paying attention to the race, so no has an informed opinion (the issues haven't been developed, the smut is not all out there, no one has had an opportunity to see the candidates side by side talking about the same issues, most of the swing electorate are not political junkies... they are not yet paying attention - no one knows who Cruz is; Hillary has a high unfavorability factor, hence Cruz gets default benefit); and,
2) our elections are not a popularity contest, but are contested state by state... The elections of only a handful of states (OH, FL, VA, NC, GA, CO, IA, NH, NV, WI) really matter.

At this point in the 2012 race, Gingrich was up on Romney by 15 points; and Romney was beating Obama.

Thanks to Trump and Cruz, I haven't been this confident in a Democratic victory since 1996.

I don't buy it. I am not a fan of Donal Trump, however your claim of confidence is simply not believable. You are very frightened of any and all non-establishment GOP candidates if their poll numbers make them look like contenders.

There is already plans underway pushed by the commercial fishing interests to limit the recreational angler by restricting bag limits and seasonal schedules.

My chance encounters with Game Wardens, from state to state, has been positive. Meticulous and unforgiving as they can be, I have always found them to be courteous and professional. They have a difficult job. Most anglers are stickler's for the rules. They have to remain significant as their job is dependent how many violations they can uncover.

You keep posting that nonsense by libs but it doesn't change the fact moving republicans further left doesn't work.

The polls show Clinton going down and Cruz going up.

Because it would be dangerous for the rest of us in the world should the Republicans win the White House, I am hoping Donald Trump gets their nomination and so ensure a Democratic victory.

Make no mistake about it, the difference between the two American parties is only a matter of scale when it comes to waging wars.
