Between hitlery and fouxahauntis you would think anyone could beat either.
Then look at our line-up.
More depressing than 2008.
Actually, we have a few excellent candidates. People are so pissed I don't even think a RINO can win because they're too much like the government we're trying to get out of. Regardless what Jeb says he cannot win the nomination without the base. It's simply impossible. There aren't enough moderates so his only option would be to run third party or change parties. Our biggest problem is the single issue crowd who cannot see there's no such thing as 100%. They often get our best candidates eliminated because they can't get past the fact that X,Y,Z candidate agrees with 99.999% of what they believe and that they'd be a great candidate imminently qualified to start moving the country to a constitutional republic. They're so damn stubborn, they stomp their feet like a 4 year old who can't get a candy bar at the grocery store until the only candidate left standing is the RINO. See any thread at Free Republic during primary season for an example.
Take Scott Walker. He's vehemently against 0bama's executive orders and is part of a lawsuit to nullify them (it won't matter to the boy king but someone has to take a stand). The main reason he's against them is because they're against the law. Thus, if the law says illegals must be deported he will follow the law. He believes that the first thing that needs to happen is closing the border and believes it should be easier for LEGAL immigrants to get here and become citizens. He has also moved more to the right on his views in the past few months. Many people accuse him of flip-flopping. And he is vague about immigration policy but says he'll give a speech about it during the campaign season should he decide to run.
However, WI is not a hot bed of illegal immigration and he's not on the border to see how destructive it is. It's an issue he needs more information and education about. He's obviously willing to do that. IF after becoming better educated he continues to be vague or supportive of a path to citizenship for illegals (he's even vague about that) then we can revisit his stance. But there are people who just can't get past earlier, less informed statements that he's made instead of any change of policy he's made from becoming better informed. I'd rather have someone be vague if they don't know enough about an issue he's not adequately informed on than have him make definitive statements now and have to explain away his 180 degree change.
