Location: Bastrop, Texas | I honestly hope Romney makes another run. I can't think of anyone more qualified to be president. I'm not crazy about Jeb Bush running, for some reason, and I am pretty sure he's going to throw his hat in the ring. Allen West is a good man. Honestly, anyone would seem heaven sent compared to this bunch we have now.
On the Democrat side, things are beginning to look interesting. Hillary just might be in for a fight. |

Who's up to bat on the dem ticket? I used to think Hillary had it in the bag but I don't anymore. I dont' know anyone interested in Jeb Bush, but maybe he's more popular on the east coast. |

| Let's hope the GOP doesn't shoot itself in the foot like it did last time. You can't can't can't ignore the Christian/grassroot base. It didn't work last time and it won't work this time.

Location: Online | Trump is just a rung or two below Jeb. I sure hope neither one run. I really like Allen West. I don't see Romney running. I'm sure our brilliant (and I use that term very loosely) GOP will come up with a world class moron.
On the Dems side, we'll be stuck with Hillary. The media will forget all about Benghazi and all her screw ups. Or the "native American" lady. 
I don't know if anyone watched Outside the Barrel with Flint Rasmussen on Saturday, but he had an Indian Chief on there. Northern Cheyenne I think? I really liked what he had to say about the use of the Redskin name and the media creating most of the problems we are facing right now. He knows the definition of insanity, which I don't know one politician that does. I wish he would run for president. 
ETA: I found info... Philip Whiteman Jr. Not actually a chief, but his father is. (I found the name ironic)

Location: Bastrop, Texas | I think the far left is pushing for Elizabeth Warren.
Ben Carson would make an excellent president, but if he makes a run, mark my word, the left will view him as a huge threat to their African American base, and they will come up with some crap or scandal or bimbos.
I just don't see Christie as the nominee.
Jindal would be solid.
Rubio would be solid as well, but I have a feeling he's going to lay in the weeds for a few years.....probably a good idea.
Paul will probably run. Not my first choice.
Palin - won't happen. She needs to keep doing what she's doing. She makes a great lightning rod. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Scott Walker might run...I have a feeling he will. I like what he's done in Wisconsin, plus he has withstood a withering assault from the far left and the unions, and has emerged unscathed. He is a battle-hardened veteran of two brutal campaigns from the left.....including help from both Clinton's, as well as the Obamunists. He doesn't get his feathers ruffled and is cool under assault. He's young and very likable, with solid conservative credentials. Keep an eye on him. I like him a lot. He just has the complete package -Midwestern, cool as a cucumber, solid conservative, young, sharp, good looking fella. The guy is a stallion.....I rank him right up there with Mitt. |

| I agree that Palin needs to stay as the lightening rod.
I really like Scott W and I really like Mitt. Now, will Mitt run? Probably not. However, I think he could make the budget issues balanced ... he's done it before with major budgets and I think it needs to come back. Our country is in a real tight situation when we are focusing MORE on social issues that the gov't should have nothing to do with instead of focusing on things they should be in charge of - like budgets and rebuilding an economy in which people can get/keep jobs instead of protesting.
Also - GOD HELP US if Hillary gets the nod or heaven forbid the POTUS. I will move.

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Two things that I anticipate getting more attention over the next couple years is 1.) Infrastructure -bridges and highways, and 2.) Water shortages.
Both are REAL problems that actually play right into the Dems hand. The GOP had better have a plan, or they are going to pay the consequences. Even though the "stimulus" bill was supposed to address a lot of infrastructure issues, the fact is we were duped and the problem has been neglected. Water is another issue that will become more and more problematic. "Conservative" solutions to these are not going to be easy. |

| Speaking off the cuff, when will these newly annointed five million immigrants get to register to vote? Five million is quite a bit and when you consider the states they are most likely to register, i,e, Texas, Arizona,Colorado,California, really stacks the deck in the left's favor. (well, it don't hurt). |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Lately, it seems like there isn't a whole lot of difference between the Dems and the GOP. I hope that trend changes when the new congress convenes next year. It's one thing to "compromise" with the Democrats, and another to compromise your principles. There's an art to maintaining the most important principles while working out a compromise. Reagan was masterful at it. In the current congress, there isn't two sh!ts difference between the two parties. |

| No difference at all. Murkey, muddy water. However, there are clear differences in politics within the GOP and not so much with the Left. That's where they get us. We have branches within our party and are struggling to find the one unified voice that will fit all. I don't see a whole lot changing unless the GOP comes up with a clear stradegy now. |

Nope. It is too expensive to do business here. Corp tax rates, EPA, etc etc. I just got out of a week long discussion about all this with a good friend and die in the wool Liberal. He insist we give corps too many breaks now. I told him if we didn't throw the dogs a bone then he'd have to pay 3.00 per box for his Mac N Cheese. I don't know if he loves me anymore. |

You're right. We had a small delivery service send us a letter a few months ago. They were throwing in the towel.......government regulations were more than they could contend with.

So many of these EPA regulations are only enforced here in the U.S. Meanwhile, China and other countries are are barreling toxins into the air and water like gang busters. Two wrongs don't make a right but there sure isn't any happy mediums going around, Keystone for one. |

| It really is who can make it threw the primary's. If the GOP runs on getting the independents and assume they will get the base like they did last time they will loose again. However if they run on just going for the base they will loose also. So of the possible contenders who can get both? Romney can if he keeps being more outspoken as he has recently ( he was not during the last election). IMO Jeb can get the independents but will not get the base and will not make it out of the primary's. Bobby J does not have enough national presents and won't make out of the primary's. Walker has a good shot but the Dem's will throw everything and the kitchen sink against him in primary's and I don't think he will make it. Rubio needs to cook awhile more BUT could make a great VP. Christy Will do great in the north east and the west coast but will fall flat everywhere else. Paul can get the independents and the youth the question is can he get the base. I am not sure on that one. I like him on most things but he scares the heck out of me on foreign policy. As far as the Dem's go I don't think Hillary is going to get the nod. The left doesn't like her nor do the millenials (sp) and she has to make it thru the primary's ( she did not fair well last time) I think the Dem's smell blood in the water as to Hillary and Warren and a couple others are going to give her a run for the money if she wins the nomination it will be by a hair and Bill's help. The way Bill has been talking lately I am not sure he can pull this one off. |

The thing about Walker is that they've already thrown everything at him, and he shrugged it off like water on a duck's back. He seems unflappable, even keeled, and sticks to his message. |

Oh I agree but that was on a state level. And I know that there was a lot of national money thrown at it. But if he runs a national campaign EVERY union will spend there last dollar to defeat him. Can he over come it maybe but I don't think so. I do like him I just don't think he can make to the finish line. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | The unions always throw every dollar they can at the GOP candidate. They are a wing of the Democrat party. The national unions focused on him like a laser beam and the Dems called in all their heavy hitters. No matter who the GOP nominee is, the unions will oppose him/her with all they can muster, as is always the case. |

I don't know, either...I did read somewhere that, although he was born in Canada, his mother is American & he had dual citizenship at birth and later gave up his Canadian citizenship which makes him eligible.
I do like his guts...his tenacity & his willingness to stand up for our Constitional rights even when he knows he's going to get clobbered by the media & the rest of the world!
I also know quite a few ppl who have previously been left leaning who are liking him & Lee. A friend of mine who is a Navajo, a city manager and a gay man...is a Cruz supporter.
Cruz & Lee are more about the Constitution than right/left. We need that.

He hasn't been on the national stage long enough, as far as I'm concerned. I like what he says......and only time will tell me he is the real deal.
When it comes to proven success in a variety of settings, nobody even remotely comes close to Romney. Everyone agrees this country is more divided than ever. Like it or not, we need a president who has demonstrated an ability to bring people together. He's done that in Massachusetts, of all places. Reagan had that same gift. The guy knows how to manage a large business successfully. Romney is the kind of guy who, if you had something that's broken, you assign him the task......and he fixes it. His personal life is impeccable and there's nothing fake about his spiritual faith. We need that as well. He knows a lot about selflessness and sacrifice for others, because that's how he's lived his life. Not only that, but practically everything he predicted has been right on the money. |

Location: Online | We need someone who's not afraid of the Liberal media and talking heads. Who can stand up to their spin, half truths and outright lies. Someone who is quick witted enough and not politically correct. Condi would be the best at that in my mind. They will try to rip her apart, because she worked for Bush. They will take a little information here and a little there and run with it. She is strong enough and outspoken enough to put them in their place. The problem I see with that is she's too smart to run for POTUS. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | It's too bad we can't "draft" people like Condi Rice and Romney. I could live with a President Condi Rice, for sure. She is the Democrats worst possible nightmare.....beautiful, talented, eloquent, brilliant, Black, conservative, and a woman. Shapton and Jackson would cry if she decided to run. The woman is a genius. She's an accomplished figure skater, a concert pianist, an expert in Russia, and she can speak both Spanish and Russian fluently. |

I need to read her book. I also need to pick up 41. |

Location: Where I am happiest | I voted for Romney and I believe he would have been a great President! However he has said no to running and I'm not so sure if he did run he could pull off the win. He will already go in as a looser all to reciently. I say NO to any more Bush's. That would be a automatic lose. Jeb doesnt have a strong conservative following because he is a RINO and he wont pick up any of the left simply because he is a Bush. I honestly think if we could get her to run, Rice could pull off the win. She would garner the minority vote and the women voters plus she has a very strong conservative following. She is the total package! Then she could bring Romney with her! I think he would go for VP. Ahhhhh, a girl can dream............... |

I wish we could to! I wonder how we could start a movement to get her to run? Make it known we want her to run. |

| My big issue with Romney. is that he is delusional and apparently surrounds himself with inept people. He thought through election night that he had it in the bag and he didn't.
No to another Bush.
The problem is, that anyone I DO like will not have a chance in Hades to win the nomination as the GOP will continue on putting forth their good old boy, paid their GPO "dues" candidate and we will again be forced to vote against, instead of FOR a candidate.
I like Jindal (won't run), Allen West, Dr Carson, think Rice would make an excellent leader (maybe VP for now), don't know anything about Walker, kinda like Cruz and Paul but am sure that they are way to volatile to get the nomination. Not too high on Christie but maybe need more info.
I do like Palin but she has proved to be a lightning rod.... I think that she would shake things up in Washington, something it desperately needs, but the rank and file will never support her. Capitol Hill needs to start looking out for the real interests of this country and it's citizens above all else, instead of ways to acquire more money and power for individuals and parties.
I agree that the GOP and Dems are two sides of the same coin and it is time we get some REAL representation in the White House.
I pray that Hillary does not get the Dem nomination because it has been proven in the past two elections that there are enough people willing to drink the Koolaid to get her elected. I have to admit that I thought that Obama was the lesser of two evils when it came to their run off. Not sure, but that still may be true.
I HATE POLITICS!!!!! |

| Come to think of it, if Clinton gets the nod, then Rice might be the perfect candidate to run against her. That would slap the left in the face. A Black woman as the first female President (soo much easier to live with than Hillary!!). It would be interesting to see how they would spin against that! |
