April 24, 201511 yr Not even close. Koch brothers and Soros are the most overrated donors people usually associate with the parties. Truth
April 24, 201511 yr Too many Americans vested in the Democratic Party. No way a Republican wins, until there is some sort of major collapse, war or catastrophe.

April 25, 201511 yr Not even close. Koch brothers and Soros are the most overrated donors people usually associate with the parties.And the problem with people like NKY Bandit, is they only see a problem with people like the Koch brothers but not with people like Soros.
April 25, 201511 yr Author Too many Americans vested in the Democratic Party. No way a Republican wins, until there is some sort of major collapse, war or catastrophe. I disagree. Winning a presidential election is all about getting those middle voters who are open to voting for either the R or the D. The R's problem is the middle ground is made up of a lot of voters who the R's policies push to the D's. The biggest part of that is the Hispanic vote. That is why I think Rand Paul would be a good nominee for the R's. He has immigration policies and positions that will cause those voters to strongly consider voting for him.

Will Rand Paul continue the entitlement programs that a lot of voters are participating in?
April 25, 201511 yr Will Rand Paul continue the entitlement programs that a lot of voters are participating in? Maybe a better way to address this is create jobs to reduce dependency, rather than worry about getting rid of programs. I believe it was Dr. Carson who suggested this idea. After reducing dependency, the government then can tighten up rules to make it tougher to get on these programs.

June 18, 201511 yr Yoooooooooo........Jeb Bush's wife is Mexican and they speak more Spanish than English in his house? All kids of immigrants born in America will become American citizens? Yoooooooooooooooooooooooo..........he's very electable. Why has no one mentioned this?!?!?!?!? :lol2:
June 18, 201511 yr Bill vs. W... Hmm I think that is one sided for the American people. Repubs know that he has no chance.
June 18, 201511 yr If you can put aside the Bush name - or had the previous Bush not been in the White House - Jeb I always felt was a qualified guy for the job. Both Hillary and he are going off name recognition in the eyes of most. Hillary, to her benefit. Jeb, to his detriment. If Jeb or Hillary are elected, it will be a Bush/Clinton in the White House in some capacity from 1980 - 2020 (at least), minus the Obama years. Edited June 18, 201511 yr by bugatti
June 18, 201511 yr I'd like to hear @swamprat weigh in on this one. I've lived under 7 governors here and he was the best of the bunch, a heck of a leader. I think he'd make a great president.
