Who should be in the running for GOP nominee but isn't? Be realistic.
Haley Barbour or Jim Demint.

West or Demint.
Honestly, this recent MS transplant doesn't care for Barbour. Mainly because I had a cold right after I moved here and needed some sudafed. |
|
Jim Demint for sure.
Alan Keyes is the one that could knock the door down right now. Obama wouldn't have a chance. Last time he ran against him it was a last minute thing. On the national stage he would get to debate the POTUS in office now, and would utterly destroy him. |

Goddamnit, people... stop talking about Allen West. He's our secret weapon for 2016, so keep it a damn secret. |
|
Quoted: Gary Johnson Jeff Flake, Ryan or Rubio would also make me a lot happier than the sorry bunch we have now. |

John Stossel, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell and the ghost of Milton Friedman.
|
|
Quoted: Gary Johnson He tried and was rejected. He should have replaced Paul rather than run beside him. |

I like what I've seen of gary johnson, although he could be a lot more enthusiastic
|

David Koch
Think Ron Paul, except rich and not idiotic on foreign policy.

Quoted: Governor Frank Keating http://www.kued.org/uploads/photos/3-425_Frank_KeatingWEB.jpg Pretty damn conservative and squeaky clean. Of course many here would hate him because he was a former federal agent. Jesus, I hope he has SPF 200 sunscreen. That fellah is whiiiiiiite. |
|
I was hoping Jim DeMint would have jumped into the race a few months back. I honestly think he missed a real opportunity. DeMint would be world's above the current candidates.

No one any of us have ever known.
How many of you on here have actually know or met a running candidate before the media said "Hey, Americans, pick from one of these pre selected candidates for your voting pleasure." I know some have, but percentage wise I would bet most were introduced to their options by the Associated Press or television. Can Arfcom start a write in campaign? |

I have beaten every viable candidate in ARFCOM polls so far.
WHat does that tell you? |

Quoted:
Palin /thread Palin should be on a book tour. Or maybe a reality show. She knows where the money is. And she is smarter than I gave her credit for in the past. Even she knows she isn't electable. |
|
There should be a "no faith" vote to show that NONE of the candidates are worthy

AKengineer: He tried and was rejected. He should have replaced Paul rather than run beside him. I think we all know Paul would never acquiesce to that. It was unfortunate what happened. It is also unfortunate that John Bolton, after months of consideration, declined to run. What we have left is absolutely craptastic; all of them but Paul support big government to some degree; most are less than honest about it at best. Paul is a total loon when it comes to foreign policy.

Quoted: David Koch Think Ron Paul, except rich and not idiotic on foreign policy. he wouldnt need donations either. guy could fund the run himself |
|
generally, it wouldnt be hard at all for a socially libertarian/fiscally conservative type to win as long as they werent retarded.
|
|
Too soon. But next go around for sure. And Rand Paul |

Gary Johnson.
He didn't have a terrific debate when they actually let him but that's no excuse, it's the party's own fault, pathetic that a guy with his record couldn't find any support in the GOP. |
|
Alan West, Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, or Sarah Palin. In that order.
|
|
None that I can think of. Our political system recruits people with massive egos, which tends to make for poor leaders.

Quoted:
Jeb Bush LOL! No, but seriously. You really think anyone in hell with BUSH as their last name will be elected in the next 5 decades after the HORRIBLE presidency GW Bush had? He spent massive amounts of cash in the name of wars and everything else, second only to the current ass. And before the blame train arrives. .... I voted for the cur. Twice. |
