Now we will see the GOP start looking at some real contenders for the Dash.....here is one that I brought up that has the support behind him and around him. Many think he can take it from the likes of any out there now. Especially Christie, Cruz and Paul. As well as crush any Demo that even has the gall and nerve to run. Oh, Uhoo Hillary
.....Step that Large ass this way, but don't trip on any steps. As the tears will not work this time round.
Early polling tells you almost nothing about presidential nomination battles, since it ends up almost exclusively telling you about name recognition. Early media buzz is similar. People like to read stories about figures they've already heard of, and it's easier to write stories about politicians you've already covered. But you don't need to be a celebrity to win a nomination, you just need to be known — and liked — by the network of elected officials, operatives, donors, and ideological activists who make up a modern political party. And that's why I think a not-so-famous politician is actually the guy with the best shot at being the GOP's candidate in 2016.
Meet Indiana governor and former House member Mike Pence. Here's why his chances of being the next Republican nominee for president are excellent.
1) Mike Pence fits the bill
2) Mike Pence has avoided controversy
3) Mike Pence is well-liked by other GOP politicians
4) Mike Pence is an orthodox conservative
5) Mike Pence is plugged into the GOP's new money network
6) Mike Pence broke with his party smartly
7) Mike Pence backs Reaganesque economics.....snip~
