Chris Christie Was Born to Run

"Born to run" Shit, that guy has not broken in to a fast walk let alone a run.
The ideal Republican strategy is not terribly convoluted. Find and nominate the most acceptable conservative. Find the swing states where demographic composition of the electorate has been volatile and where there is room among those demographic groups to grow the GOP's share. Put the two together. (I would add: If I were Machiavellian, I would urge Republicans to do everything they can to suppress the Democratic vote. I am not Machiavellian, and plenty of Republicans are already doing this.)
As the nation recovers from the Republican shutdown of government, the question Americans should be asking is not "Why did the GOP do that to us?" but "Why were they even relevant in the first place?" So dramatically have the demographic and electoral tides in this country turned against the Republican Party that, in a representative democracy worthy of the designation, the Grand Old Party should be watching from the sidelines and licking its wounds. Not only did Barack Obama win a second term in an electoral landslide in 2012, but he is also just the fourth president in a century to have won two elections with more than 50 percent of the popular vote. What's more, the party controls 55 seats in the Senate, and Democratic candidates for the House received well over a million more votes than their Republican counterparts in the election last year. And yet, John Boehner still wields the gavel in the House and Republican resistance remains a defining force in the Senate, frustrating Obama's ambitious agenda.
How is this possible? National Republicans have waged an unrelenting campaign to exploit every weakness and anachronism in our electoral system. Through a combination of hyperpartisan redistricting of the House, unprecedented obstructionism in the Senate and racist voter suppression in the states, today's GOP has locked in political power that it could never have secured on a level playing field.
Unfortunately the republican primaries are a race to bottom of the intellectual barrel, and whatever knuckle dragging mouth breather that ends up surviving that shit storm is so far right (or like Mitt Romney, pretending to be far right just to survive the primaries) that no one from either party with a centrist or moderate view would ever consider voting for them. So many promising politicians have no chance because they believe gays have equal rights and don't believe that the earth is 6000 years old. I'd take a moderate conservative over a far left liberal any day, but if I had to chose far left or far right, I'd easily chose far left.
Yeah, tell me how that's working out for you. Let's see, was Carter or Regan a better president? Hmm...
Oh, and hows that ObamaCare far left crap working out for you and the country?
Retard.
What you have done in your post on this thread is misrepresent who you are and what you believe. Everyone here that reads your post will see this clearly.Unfortunately the republican primaries are a race to bottom of the intellectual barrel, and whatever knuckle dragging mouth breather that ends up surviving that shit storm is so far right (or like Mitt Romney, pretending to be far right just to survive the primaries) that no one from either party with a centrist or moderate view would ever consider voting for them.

Also, Reagan was a lier who's economic policies were terrible and armed terrorist groups.
If you had the mental capacity to actually understand what I wrote you'd see that I am not in favor of far left or far right, I prefer moderate positions. I'm a registered republican and vote conservative on most fiscal issues. But, having to chose one extreme or the other I'd prefer that party that wouldn't want to teach my kids that dinosaur bones are satan trying to play tricks on us.
Also, the foundation for "obamacare" was 100% a republican principal in the 90's, when it was considered the financially responsible thing to do by not letting the uninsured use the ER as a free medical service while giving the rest of us taxpayers the bill. But now that it's being implemented by a democrat it's "socialist". Guess what else is socialist? VA benefits, Medicare, and social security. Try taking those things away and people would shit their pants. I'd be willing to bet that obamacare had affected you personally in no way whatsoever, but because you probably watch nothing but Fox News and the drudge report all day you're convinced that half the country is being kicked off their plans and left without insurance. Were there fuck ups? Sure. Am I glad I'm not needing to be part of the insurance marketplace? Indeed. But I know several people who beat cancer that had been unable to get any form of health insurance until obamacare passed.
You attempt to rewrite history is pathetic. I doubt you were out diapers when Reagan was around. Things were rocking in the 80s. It was a good time to be an American you progressive tool. Don't forget to ask Obama if you can sniff his panties on the way to pick up your government check.
