Is Robert E. Lee eligible?

No, but Senator Mike Lee will destroy Hillarys VP.

- Obama won by 4%
- Women were 53% of the total vote in the last election and 11% more voted for Obama (it was pretty much over here)
- In contrast, men were 47% of the vote and only 7% more men voted for Romney.

Throw in the AA vote (Obama won by 87%) and the Hispanic vote (Obama won by 44%) and it was the final nail in the coffin.

If you think Cruz has a real chance, show me the numbers on how he get the votes needed to win. I don't see it. Especially since self-described moderates made up 41% of the votes and conservatives only made up 35%.

The popular vote is interesting water cooler talk. Electoral college votes are what matter. It comes down to a few swing states and a Trump or Cruz nomination will seal the deal for Hillary with women and Latinos. The GOP Establishment is all-too-painfully painfully aware how this will play out and that it will swing the Senate back to Blue.

This is the standard establishment line ....... just one problem. The GOP ran an establishment candidate in 08 and 12 and lost on both occasions. One of the reasons they lost is that many conservative and evangelical voters decided to sit it out because they were not inclined to vote for someone like Romney and to a lesser extent McCain.

If an establishment candidate is nominated again, you can be sure that these people will sit it out again. There really is not much point in nominating someone who is not wedded to conservative principles and voting for him.

Hillary Clinton is an easy candidate to beat with her multiple flaws, terrible track record and her overall lack of trustworthiness. If the Republicans cannot beat her, then they may as well call it quits as far as presidential elections are concerned.

You are absolutely right! Why can't the establishment understand this?

If it's Cruz vs. Clinton, and Cruz loses, it's time conservatives to either leave or start an uprising. Look, let's look at the GOP polls. Trump, Cruz, Carson, Paul, Huckabee, and Santorum supporters comprise 70% of the GOP. If a RINO gets the nomination, all of those voters will stay home. Let's rally around Cruz, and see what happens.

Thanks, but we've already seen "the future of conservatism" and we don't want to go back there. People like you would take great delight in destroying the remarkable progress women have made in the last forty years. Not to mention gays and minorities. Trump is a buffoon, but Cruz is downright evil. There's a reason his colleagues (no paragons of virtue themselves) uniformly hate him.

Goes to show that the evangelicals and conservatives hate the GOP worse than they hate the Democrats, given they gave away the 2008 and 2012 Presidential elections to Democrats. But evidently they don't have the spine or support to cut bait and form their own party.
