The Republican Party is a true circus, with a new potential number of people announcing for President numbering TWENTY TWO—Yes, TWENTY TWO!
If that happens, the debates that will take place in the next year will be a true mockery, a true example of total loss of any respectability of the political process, and will insure that the Republican Party will go down to defeat, probably with a greater electoral vote loss than in 2012, and possibly, greater than 2008! The 206 electoral votes won by Mitt Romney and the 173 won by John McCain might be lower than either number!
The whole idea that TWENTY TWO possible candidates think they are qualified to be President is beyond any reason.
The traditional list that has been drawn up includes:
Senators Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Lindsey Graham
Former Senator Rick Santorum
Governors Scott Walker, Chris Christie, Bobby Jindal, Mike Pence, Rick Snyder, John Kasich
Former Governors Jeb Bush, Mike Huckabee, Rick Perry
Pediatric Surgeon Dr. Benjamin Carson
Former Hewlett Packard Chief Executive Officer Carly Fiorina
Now add: former New York Governor George Pataki, Businessman Donald Trump, former UN Ambassador John Bolton; New York Congressman Peter King; former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore; former Maryland Governor Bob Erhlich
The potential for such chaos will totally turn off voters, all to the advantage of the Democratic Party!
Let’s have 22 more Republican presidential candidates!
We’re reaching a point where the question becomes, “Which Republican politician is NOT running for president of the United States?”
Sounds like those debates are going to be rather entertaining!
