There is the beginning of the 2016 election….it is never too early to start talking about the circus that will be the 2016 election………….we have Clinton all but announcing……we have Rubio and Cruz lining up for a run……..so far not many Dems have hinted at a run….but it is early and we know they will come out of the woodwork soon enough……
Last election I had the most fun with Perry and newt…..bit it paled compared to the total worthless candidacy of our boy Rick Santorum and guess what? From uspresidentialelectionnews.com……….
Never too early to get ahead, right? The former US Senator from Pennsylvania is working the ground game in Iowa quietly trying to maintain a deep rapport with social conservatives ahead of the 2016 (!) Iowa caucus. Santorum, if you’ll recall, narrowly squeaked out a victory over Mitt Romney in the 2012 Iowa caucus.
Report from the Des Moines Register:
The 2016 Iowa caucus campaign is wide open for Republican presidential candidates, and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum can’t claim frontrunner status despite his victory in the 2012 GOP caucuses, says U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley.
“I wouldn’t consider anybody at this point to be a frontrunner,” Grassley, an Iowa Republican, said Wednesday in his weekly conference call with Iowa reporters.
…
Santorum hasn’t announced his intentions for the 2016 campaign, but he appears to be laying the groundwork for another presidential run. He is scheduled to return to Iowa in August for appearances at the Iowa State Fair and at an Aug. 8 fundraising dinner for the Lyon County Republican Party in northwest Iowa. On Aug. 10, Santorum is scheduled to speak in Ames at the Family Leadership Summit sponsored by the Iowa Family Leader, Citizens United, Heritage Action, and The National Organization for Marriage.
I think Santorum may have a tougher go of things in 2016 even compared to 2012. His hawkish foreign policy brand of conservatism isn’t so much in demand right now as displayed by the support being given to libertarian-leaning voices like Kentucky Senator Rand Paul. Santorum may be best suited to stick to the social issues which will surely be a hot-button debate among the GOP field in 2016. Do they abandon social issues and focus solely on the economy and growing government or are they all-in for the three legs of the Republican coalition stool?
I cannot wait for him to hit the trial…….his antiquated views will make writing and analysis so much easier than it is now…..keep your eye on the circus….there are more clowns waiting to see if they can eek out a candidacy……
Forget Clinton part deux, the democrats have a winning ticket with Anthony Weiner and Eric Holder. Every democrat would vote for Weiner/Holder 2016.
Yep they will run against Ryan/Paul….the GOP dream team….
Ryan/Rubio is more likely the GOP dream team for 2016, need to pander to the “minorities” like the Democrats have done for so long.
It is a losing combo if it is them….sorry
I agree….. (can’t resist)…. especially against the DNC Weiner/Holder team 🙂
But seriously, Ryan/Rubio would be hard to get votes from conservatives.
Weiner is dead only the media wants him in the news…NO one else does….Holder is not sharp enough to be a good politician….so neither will be anywhere in the DNC line up……..Ryan/Rubio would get less votes than Mitt and Ryan…..voters see them for what they are…opportunistic clowns…..and the Dems have theirs also….
Ahahaa… Not bad 🙂
FL does have a sense of humor….he needs to instruct others in the proper way to use it….
