Look, Hillary has already been grilled on Benghazi. Her “what difference does it make” statement did nothing to cool her fans. It doesn’t matter what she says, her fans will vote for her. Look at Obama and all his lies. Hasn’t cooled of his base.

Back in 2008, I had a very liberal acquaintance who said she would vote for a woman no matter who. I couldn’t believe it. I looked her straight in the eye and questioned her. She looked right back at me and repeated her statement. This was before Sarah Palin and Obama. When Sarah Palin came into the mix, her excuse was Sarah was not running for president. Quite the opposite of what those against McCain were claiming. (A nutcase one heartbeat away from the presidency).
What if something is revealed about Benghazi? That Hillary Clinton gave the stand order? Or that she didn’t approve extra security? I do not know if she didn’t give the stand down order or if she didn’t approve extra security but as to who gave the stand order and did not approve extra security, those questions have not been answered

I don’t think it matters. The left likes what Hillary stands for: abortion, free birth control, gay marriage, “tax the rich.”
 
Susana Martinez gave an interesting speech at the RNC convention in 2012 and she has got a high approval rating among Hispanics in her state, but I do not think Susana Martinez has a large enough national profile at this stage to perhaps compete with Rand Paul or Ted Cruz.
Susana Martinez did give a very interesting speech at the RNC. Not unlike Obama in 2004 at the DNC when he was introduced to the country. It’s early, but I could see a Rubio/Martinez ticket. I think the Republicans are going to have to look at some sane immigration legislation. Immigration reform is going to happen. It might as well be under Republican auspices. We have to reign in spending in this country.

Rubio/Marinez would certainly make Hillary look like old white establishment politics.
 
Rubio? There is no way he will get past the tea party after his proposals on immigration reform.

Not that it matters. HRC will be president. 👍
I thought Marco Rubio was the tea party choice for senator?

I liked his speech at the RNC too. Very well thought out, made many good points that appeal to immigrants and non-immigrants alike. I think the next candidate has much much more to focus on that immigration alone and I think the tea partiers would agree.

I just don’t see it. I mean, if she is the best the Democrats have, it may come to pass. What a sad comment on the Democratic Party, if that is the case. The GOP has a much deeper bench.
 
I think the only person on that list with any real chance of being President is Christie. If the GOP has learned from the recent train wreck, they will reject the extreme right and nominate someone who can be elected and then govern. If not, then it won’t really matter who the Dems nominate.

I don’t agree. From a liberal point of view, maybe. I personally feel the Republican party has been failing because the mainstream party isn’t much different than the Democratic good old boys club. They come off as flip-flopping to what-ever voters want to hear. That was Mitt Romney’s downfall.

We need a good fiscal Republican conservative to run.

Just remember the current Democrats are extremely left wing. They vote from emotion, not deep thinking. When they finally see where their logic takes them, it will be to late for this country.

I’m rooting for a good strong fiscal conservative. But he/she will have to be very charismatic and a brilliant thinker (which many are) who won’t get stumped when “gotcha” questions come at them. Newt could have been good, but he IMHO came off arrogant and holier than thou. Plus he was old and stale to many.

Christie is a good fiscal Republican conservative. Not sure if you are advocating that the GOP nominate a Cruz or a Paul, but if the GOP nominates someone well outside the mainstream (and both of those are, for different reasons) the Dems will win going away. The country needs a real choice between viable candidates. Christie will give that choice. Maybe Walker would. I am sure there are a few others. But a far right candidate is not viable.

Yes. What happens is, a moderate Republican runs against a Democrat; the Democrats vote for the Democrat. The moderate Republicans vote for the Republican; and the conservative Republicans either stay home or hold their nose and vote. We need a more conservative candidate that will attract both the moderate and conservative Republicans…and some independents. People have a false notion that all independents are moderate.

Nope. Christie is Mitt redo. Romney was a fiscal conservative and he lost.

All of the above

I firmly believe that is what happened in 2012.

We need a strong young face out there that can stand up to the sure character smears that are going to happen, especially to a women. I think Susana Martinez will be able to handle this if she runs as VP.

I remember the Saturday morning Romney picked Paul Ryan, NPR did an hours long show on Ryan. It was exciting. A breath of fresh air. Even on NPR.

…and 2008. McCain was also the moderate choice. In fact, compared to Romney, he was considered the more moderate choice. Even Santorum endorsed Romney in 2008.

2008 was full of unknowns. We had all the hopey changey thing going on. We ought to know better by now there is no magic in the progressive agenda.

We now know moderate Repubs are not much better than Dems. Moderates don’t so much advocate for abortion, but they do allow it., for example.

Yep, and we keep falling for the moderate and Democrat deception that the only hope we have is with a moderate. Once elected in the primaries they skewer them as evil conservatives who hate women, the elderly, etc. Meanwhile, you have the third party crowd pushing for a more conservative option.

Makes me laugh to think that Democrats should tell Republicans who to run…😃

Sometimes people hang around sycophants too much. I participate in the NPR blogs, and it’s amazing how liberals there think conservatives ON THE NPR BLOG get their news from FAUX!! At least here, most of the liberals make actual arguments. I appreciate that.
 
I am in hopes that after the Obama wins every Catholic will think before they cast their precious vote for Hillary Clinton…her stint as SOS was a total failure especially with the Benghazi tragedy.

I thought you said you wanted a fiscal conservative Republican. That is what Christie is. Or do you want a far right guy like Cruz? If you don’t think Christie is a fiscal conservative, how do you define the term?
