2016 Republican primary

Oops! Smarter lefties realize they have a losing hand on Syrian 'refugees'
By Thomas Lifson


Kevin Drum of Mother Jones is an old hand on the left and has seen enough politics that he realizes what a big looser of an issue the Syrian “refugee” inflow is for the Democrats and the left. He cautions his fellow progs:

Over the past 24 hours, almost half of the nation's governors — all but one of them Republicans — have said they plan to refuse to allow Syrian immigrants into their states in the wake of the Paris attacks carried out by the Islamic State....That stance has been greeted with widespread ridicule and disgust by Democrats who insist that keeping people out of the U.S. is anathema to the founding principles of the country.

....Think what you will, but one thing is clear: The political upside for Republican politicians pushing an immigration ban on Syrians and/or Muslims as a broader response to the threat posed by the Islamic State sure looks like a political winner.



I pointed out this out a couple of days ago, in fact. And Chris Cilizza of the Washington Post agreed:

The political upside for Republican politicians pushing an immigration ban on Syrians and/or Muslims as a broader response to the threat posed by the Islamic State sure looks like a political winner.

The Pew Research Center did an in-depth poll looking into Americans' view on Islamic extremism in the the fall of 2014 — and its findings suggest that politicians like Cruz have virtually nothing to lose in this fight over how best to respond to ISIS's latest act of violence.

The first terrorist attack linked to one of these "refugees," and the democratic party is done forever.

Obama can lie that it's workplace violence or any other bullshit, but a couple of Tsarnaev "refugees" brought in by Obama and the democratic - socialist, and the DNC brand will never recover.

Chris Christie, not Marco Rubio, is the Republican's best bet for 2016


2/19/13

...

After Rubio's less than impressive response to the State of the Union, a number of pundits are talking up Christie's prospects for 2016 again. The centrepiece of that argument appears to be that Republicans need to prove they can work across the aisle, and make bipartisan agreements work. Christie, who was lambasted by some Republicans over his work with President Obama after Hurricane Sandy, can certainly do that.

No, I would never vote for anyone that does not support the 10th amendment to the U.S. Constitution--States Rights. In 3rd debate Christie made it very clear that he doesn't give a crap about it. He's still wearing the Prosecutor suit.

Christie is a freaking hypocrite. He should call the DEA into his own state of New Jersey--because the Federal Government doesn't consider medical marijuana legal either. He's such a dumb ass.

 
All of the GOP nominees are progressive statists, including Cruz, who use Big Government to implement his policies.

Freedom does not mean America writes you a blank check.

Next November’s election will decide more than who becomes president. It will establish whether the United States has shifted from its foundational ideals of limited government, personal freedom, citizen autonomy, and a robust foreign policy that serves America’s interests and security, to the European model of quasi-pacifist internationalism abroad, and a centralized, collectivist technocratic rule at home –– exactly what 2400 years of political philosophy has feared is the infrastructure of tyranny.

Barack Obama vowed to “fundamentally transform the United States,” but for all his malign changes and erosion of the Constitutional order, “fundamentally” remains a question-begging adverb. The unique circumstances of his election and re-election ––especially the desperate and misguided yearning for racial reconciliation to be achieved merely by voting –– question whether a critical mass of Americans agrees with that goal. High disapproval numbers in polls of Obamacare, the president’s foreign policy, and the man himself suggest not. But the election of Hillary Clinton would show that despite those opinions, a majority of Americans endorse the progressive Democrats’ agenda.

That agenda has been obvious for at least a century. It is predicated on political scientism, the false idea that human nature, motivation, and behavior, along with social and political order, can be understood “scientifically,” and thus manipulated and guided toward a more egalitarian world –– the “social justice” of so much progressive rhetoric. But such a program requires a technocratic, administrative elite housed in powerful government bureaucracies and agencies, walled off from direct accountability to and scrutiny by the people. The ensuing reduction of political freedom and autonomy necessary for top-down rule is compensated for by redefining political freedom as private hedonism –– the freedom to indulge the appetites, consume products and services, abort unwanted pregnancies, and choose whatever sexual identity one fancies.

The second dimension of this agenda is the adoption of “internationalism,” the notion that nationalist particularity and interests are dangerous and immoral, and so must be marginalized. Transnational organizations and bureaucracies, manned by technocratic elites, must order the world’s peoples in order to create global “social justice.” The belief that diplomatic “engagement” and consultative processes can reduce, contain, or forestall conflict and eliminate violence as the arbiter of interstate rivalries. Our nation is no more “exceptional” than any other, as Obama once said, and so must defer to the consensus of the “global community” and pursue its interests. The West in particular is obliged to adopt this ideology. Its alleged imperialist and colonialist crimes, and its advanced capitalist economies and technologies, have fomented the disorder that has exploited and oppressed the rest of the world, and inhibited its development and improvement. Thus the West, especially the United States, apparently owes various forms of “reparations” to the Rest, and be a world “partner mindful of its own imperfections,” as Obama wrote in 2007.

The two administrations of Barack Obama, and the campaign platform of Hillary Clinton, are expressions of this agenda. Federal agencies like the EPA, the NLRB, the DOJ, and the IRS, to name a few, have aggressively intruded into the freedom of citizens and businesses in order to impose politicized investigations and regulations never sanctioned by Congress. The president has abused executive power to change laws from Obamacare to immigration, realizing Woodrow Wilson’s dream of a chief executive empowered not just to veto bad laws, but to create “good” ones. Hillary has already promised to do the same, vowing, for example, to take executive action on gun control. She also has peddled the same “social justice” rhetoric that has dominated the Obama presidency –– “fair share,” “you didn’t build that,” “income inequality,” “war on women,” all the slogans of the redistributionist federal government increasing its power in order to create “equality.”

And like Obama, Hillary supports the social changes that redefine ordered liberty as the power to do what one likes in private life –– the public square is another matter –– without hindrance from tradition or religion or even common sense. Hence the flip-flop both politicians made on same-sex marriage and the Defense of Marriage Act signed by Hillary’s husband. They both support compelling religious organizations and private businesses to violate their tenets and provide birth control and abortions in their health plans, or consumer services to same-sex couples.

(1) no link to Vigi's numbers of less than 700 respondents, who would total about 280 people in the entire Republican Party

(2) no distinction as to whether it is aa state or national survey

And as we learned elsewhere on the Board yesterday, Trump has the worst favorability for cross over voting among the GOP candidates. Other than, of course, the MN democrats who can and will vote in the GOP primary to make sure Trump is the most easy target in the national election. It is a Dem operation chaos.

:lol: How could Republicans allow this mess yet again? Are you really this stupid? This phony chart should be flipped, the ones on the bottom should be on the top. At least they understand foreign and domestic policy.

Trump knows nothing about nothing. He's like another Ronald Reagan. Figure head.
 
If I were Carly Fiorina, I would launch an investigation to see just how Trump could possibly be the frontrunner. It's impossible.

Hillary wouldn't let that happen.

They know what they are doing...:rofl:
Oh yeah but the puppet always ends up reminding them who is actually president. Bush did it and so did Nixon. I AM the president... Both of them said it.
 
This , I hope concerning about.




1. Cruz
2. Rubio
3. Walker
4. Paul
5. Trump

Then O'Malley about Democrats.
 
Would my will that Trump might take home this if he attacks Belarus in war or becomes Cruz if he attacks Belarus. Do Negroes to vote for Kasich . No Carson in possibly outside the South Carolina state and New Jersey district or what is it called in New Jersey or New Jersey called for real state ?

Rubio Backers Say Attacking Trump Backfired
Supporters in Senate worried

Taking on the top dog in the race to be the GOP nominee may have helped killed Marco Rubio's campaign. That is what sources are telling CNN after Rubio's flop in Tuesday's primaries.

A growing number of Rubio supporters told CNN privately and publicly that Rubio made a strategic blunder by getting into a personal mud-slinging contest with the bombastic billionaire, arguing that he should not have raised questions about Trump's character -- on everything from criticizing the size of his hands to calling him a "con artist." They argued it only seemed to backfire and make the high-minded and substantive Rubio look petty and unpresidential, fearing it could now be fatal to his presidential aspirations.

More media outlets are now reporting that Rubio is being pressured to drop out of the race by donors. As TruthRevolt reported earlier today, CNN had made the initial report earlier in the week, and CBS and Fox have joined the chorus.

While Rubio's campaign insists their man is not dropping out despite the pressure, backers are being open in their concern:

"I don't think he needed to get down, deep and dirty," said Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Rubio supporter. "I think he knows that was a mistake. It was against his personality, and I think that hurt him a little bit."
