No State of the Union thread?!

Ryan/bachmann 2016

[HaloMagic]

Ryan has been relatively quiet over the last year. Not sure what that means if anything but I'm interested in seeing what his future aspirations are. I'd have to imagine he's still very much interested in the presidency.

Quiet is good strategy now. There's still 9 months before the mid-terms.

So who is the repub who is going to win in 2016 - and we will hate four years from now?

 

Romney is leading in the latest New Hampshire poll.

 

Really.

The Republican party is, unfortunately, stuck in their own past and unable to promote a candidate that isn't entrenched in their outdated and unmanageable platform.

You mean like their constituents?

Don't look now, but that brush your using is wide enough to get the entire house with one swipe.

Unfortunately we can't all be black, gay, or unemployed.

Agreed. Saying nothing now means less that can be spun and thrown back in your face later.

Playing devils advocate, Eric saying the Republican Party being stuck in the past is a pretty broad comment also

After hearing his plan to fast-track TPP, I became convinced that he's more insidious than Bush.

 

He's the complete opposite of the progressive candidate that was promised and is a political dodger.

[Blarg]

We hate Dodgers on this board.

The Party is stuck in the past, hence me not being in it any more.  The people who are in it are very different from one another.

I really don't care what this president has to say and I doubt I will care much what the next one does.  He is such a democratic party whipping boy it is sad.

 

At least Clinton knew how to compromise and get everyone at the table to compromise.  Obama is just a worthless suit.  I swear he isn't even trying as hard as Bush was.

It blows me away that the GOP is losing elections to beatable candidates because of their extreme positions on several issues, yet they are continuing to listen to people who aspire to push them even farther away from the opinions of a majority of the people.
