Possible Republican Nominees

Republicans are kind of worked up about Obamacare, about the foreign policy failures, they’d like someone who is either engaged in those fights in Washington or a governor who’s governed successfully in real time, i.e., now. So a Scott Walker or a Mike Pence, or a Ted Cruz or a Marco Rubio or a Paul Ryan. And I think all of them, incidentally, would be better candidates probably than Jeb Bush against Hillary Clinton.

I don’t know who Mike Pence is, but God save us from the rest of them.

Whereas Scott Walker and Mike Pence and Marco Rubio and all those guys get to say: generational change, conservative reform agenda, get away from the failures of the Obama years.

Seriously? If these guys (save for the mysterious Mike Pence who might just be different) represent generational change in the Republican party and are supposed to take us away from the recent failures, then hello, President Hillary Clinton.

  1. I worry that Hillary Clinton won’t be able to win. You don’t think that voters are becoming enamoured with the Scott Walker/Paul Ryan/Ted Cruz types?

    1. All of these guys have less than 10% of support among their own base right now. Huckabee is leading with 11%.

      But history has known examples when a candidate emerged from nowhere right before the primaries and won the presidency.

      I have a feeling people on both sides want the most Centrist person they can get. I’m not ecstatic about that but at least Ted Cruz doesn’t seem to have a chance.
