The Indiana religious freedom law fracas has forced the GOP candidates further to the right, making them all even less electable by the middle.



POLITICO: Indiana law backs GOP hopefuls into a corner

The far right hates Jeb the same way they hated Mitt. If they nominate him it'll be 2012 all over again.

And now, according to The Hill, every single likely Republican presidential candidate supports the regressive 20-week abortion ban.

Basically, the GOP is creating a party that will only be able to win local elections. There will never be a Republican president again in our lifetimes.

Oh I think things will swing back with Fantod's generation.


I agree with you about all the local Republicans, which means about a billion brushfires all around the country like this Indiana insanity.  And really earnest and well meaning allies giving money to the HRC.  All BECAUSE OF WEDDING CAKES.


It's remarkable how liberationists are left to fight the battles of assimilationists.

Bumping this cause of the verified entrants, still think Jeb is the only guy who can beat Hillary.  Rubio please, Cruz never, Paul would be interesting, the evil from Wisconsin no way.  The only one I'm worrying about is Jeb.  PJ would say it's a lock, don't believe it.  If you want to do something cool get one poor person you know to vote, throughout the country obstacles are being made to prevent poor folks from voting, this is a challenge if you're a Liberal.  I feel sorry for folks who live in states where this is irrelevant and your vote doesn't matter nationally.  Guess I talked myself into registering a 100 where I live.  If you live in a swing state consider the one, please.

The thing about Jeb is the Republican meme of Hilary being "more of the same" goes triple for a Bush.  TRIPLE!

The only potential GOP candidate that concerns me is Scott Walker.  While I don't think he or his record will hold up to national scrutiny, he's been able to implement a lot of regressive policies in a state that Obama carried twice.  If he could hold on to all of Romney's states, plus swing some "rust belt" states, the electoral college could get close.

Walker loses to Hillary 52 to 43 according to Public Policy Polling last month.


His approval ratings have been declining steeply over the last few months and are currently at similar numbers: 43% positive vs. 52% negative.


But the most damning number is 35%: the number of Wisconsin voters who currently want him to run for president. The number who DON'T: 58%

That's good to know.  I imagine Christie has similar issues here in NJ.  I couldn't imagine him carrying NJ.

So...when are the "birthers" going to start screaming about Ted Cruz?  Surely they don't want to come off as hypocrites, right?

Trump had a few tweets about Cruz a while ago, but nothing lately (that I've seen).


I honestly don't think Cruz' nationality will ever be an issue.

I think having a mostly unified Democratic party behind Hillary is a great thing; right now the GOP seems set to repeat the up-and-down primary of 2012 that resulted in the blandest man standing.

And somehow, SOMEHOW, the blandest man they'll have left standing is a Bush, which is even more of the same old thing than the wife of a former president.

The only scary thing would be if the 5 Tea Party-ish candidates (Walker, Cruz, Huckabee, Rubio and Carson) joined forces and threw their weight behind one candidate...that would total 58%.


Thank goddess they all hate each other.

Does anyone know if Perry is thinking of announcing his run?

I wonder if folks like Letterman and Stewart are reconsidering recent life decisions based on these entries.

Oh, Dr. Ben Carson.  The candidate who makes the average American voter feel smarter than a brain surgeon.
