Carson:


Here's Dr Carson saying a flat tax would be condescending to the poor and Obamacare is worse than slavery and other gibberish.

Ben is interesting but is not electable. The Republican party will not be having him as their candidate for either Pres or VP.

Scratch Ben off, scratch Christy out, scratch Jindahl, and Paul out too.

Jeb and Walker are the main contenders right now. Jeb may be too liberal for most and Walker might be too conservative to be electable.

Mrs. Clinton is the one they will have to beat and the Democratic Party has all the demographics working in their favor.

Dear Guest:

What you write about is the du jour news of the day. However, I suspect that you know campaigns have very long tails, people have very short memories and pollsters are good at smoke and mirrors.

I like most on this forum took pride in knowing good horse flesh when I saw it but then the unexpected happened, not once but twice, the most unelectable and ill-prepared person ever to enter a race was chosen. Why? The answers are many but the one true answer which was "he was the most qualified" unfortunately was not....and so the connotation of "anyone can be elected president" took on a whole new meaning.

It has left me fearful and sad for our nation because the right to cast a vote is the single most important asset a citizen can own and we have far too many citizens throwing it away because of selfish ideology or because they simply do not understand the democracy in which they live. We all see and hear it on a daily basis. This is not about Republican or Democrat its about choosing a leader that will through moral and intelligent stewartship protects and preserves this Republic and its citizens.

Personal Best Regards:

Absolutely correct that Hillary Clinton has all the demographics on her side. She has the vote of staunch Democrats who would never vote Republican, of the educated women, most college educated men under age 55, Hispanic voters, ethnic other than Caucasian voters, and the LBGT vote.

The Republicans are left with blue collar (who do not vote as a bloc), men over 55, and under-educated women who tend to follow what their husband tells them (but may vote different in the secrecy of the booth).

Stated like a true condescending Democrat. You may be well educated, but you are still ignorant.

Educated does not necessarily mean wise.

Count me as ignorant also. All Hillary needs to do is bob and weave. Republicans are in a circular firing squad and can only repeat that tired old tax cuts for wealthy will get economy going and increase defense spending. Both are losers in Nov 16.

Sounds like a sexist, racist, predjudiced democrat with a reality distortion.

Just what we need as a country, a President that bobs and weaves...nothing new for Hillary.

...and what demographics could you put forward for each Republican hopeful OR the Republican party in general?

Please try to do your best on this question. I'm really expecting the usual condescending reply from one of the Gang of Six but hope does spring eternal.

Dear Guest: I suspect that the demographic that you cite are no different than most Americans in that they can tolerate a lot but the one issue that never bodes well is someone who lies to them. Hillary can play artful dodger but sooner or later she will have to address real questions and then watch the meltdown. Liberal media are already beginning to get antsy.

I personally have now focused on a choice yet, but you have under estimated the Republican field.

Its earlier and so much can and will happen between now and election day.

You would be wise to withhold your vote until you enter the voting booth.

You sound like a guy whose Party can't seem to win any national elections.

Gee ....... I wonder why? Maybe - just maybe - it is because of all those fine moral candidates you roll out before the country.

By the way, our current President has done an excellent job protecting and preserving this Republic and its citizens.


Oh, and by the way .......... Best Personal Regards

The Gang of Six comment you continue to make is ... well, you sound moronic when you say it, and you continue to say it.
