Looks like Rick Perry's going to jump on the Presidential candidate bandwagon.

LOL....good luck. Bush is probably your best shot. Walker would be a long shot. Mr. "Green eggs and ham" Cruz? Hilarious. The guy doesn't stand a chance.

There is this thing called campaigning. Hillary is just flat unlikable. She doesn't have any ideas. She's not going to be able to shed the specter of Benghazi. She has her e-mail gate issue. The Clinton war room will come up and allegations that she helped suppress real date rape allegations will not be pretty. Then she's going to have to back Obamacare. She's going to have to have a plan for ISIS. She's going to have to have a jobs plan, a budget plan and so much more. She's just not going to be viable. She'll get crushed. 35% of the popular vote is her top. That's the best she'll do.
 
Thank goodness the Democrats have a barrel overflowing with fabulous candidates.

They actually do....but everyone knows that Hillary will be the next President, so why jump in. The only ones who don't seem to know that are the clowns that are falling over each other to get into the GOP car. I've never seen such a sorry lot in my entire adulthood. Even 2008 had a better group than this.
 
Did you miss Graham's comments today about Paul in Iowa ?

I don't care what Graham says about anything. He shot off his foot, calf, knee and thigh when he proposed amnesty.

Keep telling yourself that. The facts say otherwise. You guys can try Benghazi for the 14931st time and try to manufacture all the scandals you want. Problem is....you have horrible candidates that won't mount much of a challenge. Hillary will be your President.
 
When Rick Perry, Governor of Texas, got those thick black rimmed glasses a couple of years ago, I thought to myself, "Okay....he's going to be running for President again."

It looks like he's going to jump in and go for it, again.

Perry announcing June 4 if he is running for president again



What would the Texas secessionists do if their leader got elected president of the USA?

How do you secede from a nation that your leader is president of?

I've never heard of that happening. Any ideas on that?

He's not the only GOP who supports or who supported amnesty--beginning with Reagan.

Why do you think Walker has walked back his support of comprehensive immigration reform ?
 
Despite electing Obama for a second term I still have too much respect for the American electorate to expect they'll vote in Hillary Clinton.

Get used to it. You guys don't even have a McCain in the current field. You might as well run Sarah Palin....she would probably have a better chance than all of the current clowns.
 
How surprising.

Actually, I'm more excited about Julian Castro...but he is too young and needs more experience. After 8 years as Hillary's VP, he will be ready to take the reins.

Perry actually sounded normal over the Jade Helm flap, started by their new idiot governor.
Perry actually stated that the State Guard should not overlook the National Guard or the USA Army.
Though he did pander to those afraid of the government--not saying federal though .

The Castro's will have their hands full with J.E.B.'s son, who was elected land commissioner, a stepping stone to the Governor's job .

I agree that potentially he could be a candidate in the future...but I don't think Julian needs to be concerned...he's a few years behind.
 
Uh...no. The three contenders will be Bush, Cruz and Walker (with the caveat that Christie might run and be the 4th). They have name recognition. They have outspoken views. They do a good job of delivering their message. They are all capable of winning the Presidency.
Where as the Democrat party is running a failed Secretary of State and a socialist.



Who will be the next president of the USA because the GOP won't run anyone who could beat her.

It really a no-brainer when you have yet another Bush against a Clinton. Clinton is a way more popular President than Bush and voters don't want another recession either. Republicans are known for their recessions (8 of the last 9 have been under GOP administrations) and GW Bush had 2 and the last one was a whopper not easily forgotten.

You're missing FOX's preferred candidate Rubio.

And everyone is missing Rand Paul.
What does it tell you when the Majority of the GOPs have started ganging up on Paul?

And why is Walker hiding in Israel refusing to answer any questions ?



The old White men who control the GOP are going to run some far-right evangelical who will have zero chance of winning.
 
I want Trump to make this "The One". I want him to seriously get into the game this time. Please do it Mr. Trump. Please do it.

Republicans have extremely short memories. They also have a history of trying the same failed things over and over and over and over...and expecting different results.

Trump should run as a third party. He's got the resources to do it. Better spent than trying to get the GOP nod.

He says he's serious. I don't think he is anymore than he was last time; he just loves the attention.

But I hope you aren't serious--it's in the best interest of the nation to have great candidates running.

I'm always amazed how people that live on the extremes live in a bubble, unaware of what's around them.

1. Walker doesn't have name recognition to most in the country.
2. Cruz has zero chance of winning the election. He knows it, but is hoping otherwise. He's practicing for the next time he'll run and hopefully win.
3. Christie used to have a chance, but not any more. He has only himself to blame.
4. Bush was the front contender, but he's made some errors out of the gate. And things have resurfaced to remind us of serious issues he has from his past actions. Terry Schiavo, for instance.
5. Rubio is the only one besides Bush who can help with the latino vote.
6. If the world were betting on a winner, Clinton still has the odds of winning, despite the entire Republican Party gunning for her. They did this when she was First Lady, too, so she's been there before. She is no more a failed Sec of State than any other Sec of State, when looking at her record objectively. Your feelings are interfering with your ability to see things as they are. And I thought it was women who were supposed to be emotional.

But it's early. As an independent looking to vote Republican, if I can find someone, I don't see anyone I'd vote for.....yet. It was Bush, until I was reminded of his past actions, and read some of his current statements on Iraq.

Too bad Paul Ryan's not running. That's a mystery. He's the only one I can think of who would rise to the top immediately.

But it's early. We'll see. It looks like Walker is the sweetheart of the Republican Party, at this time. Which is good news for the Democrats.
 
Predicting the outcome of an election that's a year and a half away yet is a bit like predicting the weather a month from Sunday.

Which is a good thing. Looking at the current crop of possibles, I'd vote for "None of the above".

You owe me a coke because I spit my out laughing when I read that
 
The field is "way to strong"? Who are you kidding? There isn't a strong candidate in the entire bunch. The GOP is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
That's mostly your own bias speaking. There's several candidates with impressive executive experience (Bush, Walker) and some good orators among the bunch as well. As of now, the GOP has far more depth in their list of viable Presidential candidates with name recognition.
