She was very impressive in the group of 7 debate. I'm thinking that as the mess that The Don stirred up in the party begins to sort itself out, Fiorina's polling will improve. When it does, she has a very good shot at VPOTUS. I am NOT saying that she's not qualified for POTUS, but I am saying that, as a relative unknown and political outsider, her chances of getting elected POTUS are not as good as her chances of being somebody's running mate.

While I no longer am a republican (I'm a libertarian-leaning independent), I can easily see the republican party nominating a Bush/Fiorina, Rubio/Fiorina, or Cruz/Fiorina ticket. That said, I'm not certain that I will cast my vote for a republican candidates this time around. It is going to take a lot of convincing. One thing I am absolutely certain of, and that is that I am no more likely to vote democrat than I am to vote communist - there being very little difference between the two........particularly when the DNC chairperson can't/won't even articulate a difference between a democrat and a socialist.

Be fair now...it's hard to articulate a difference that doesn't exist. About the only accurate thing she could have said was that Democrats are not Socialists but aspiring Marxists, and that might not have played too well.

I'm with TAM on this. I'm guessing that whoever wins the ticket will pick Fiorina or Carson as their Veep choice.

You got that right. Sorry for being unfair.

The message is appreciated but the website it's hosted on is horrible...with cross-site scripting, a boat-load of pop ups, and oodles of tracking cookies. Running Firefox with No-Script I got more than a full page of garbage....42 items on the No-Script block list --about half of which I had to allow to see the video. By comparison I get 5 block list items on an actual commercial website that is directly selling something, like HEB, 5 on Cabela's site, 6 on Walmart, and 4 on Amazon.

I didn't have any problems with the site when I pulled it up using firefox.

Carly is my candidate this year. She checks all of my policy position boxes, is a fighter and comes off as very knowledgeable. Cruz also checks all my policy position boxes but comes off as a little smarmy. I don't know if she can win, but I think she made real strides forward in the debates.

And you're running No-Script? If you're not running No-Script you're probably not going to see any of the stuff I'm talking about.

I'm in line with Stroo. I like a Cruz-Fiorina ticket. With 8 years of that followed by a Fiorina-? Rubio? ticket, we made just save this Republic.
But I sure did like Kasich. I can see why he came in late and made the top 10.

I'm using Chrome Canary with AdBloc. No problem with the site. i just watched the video and didn't see much else.

in no particular order
rubio, carson fiorina, bush, kasich

one of them will get the nod and one will get vp

its a long time to see

I like Carly and Carson

and y'all know how much I like Cruz...

I don't really know Kasich enough.

I've got to say no to Bush.

We Texans have a philosophical luxury in that all Texas electoral votes will likely go to the GOP candidate, regardless of how or whether any of us vote in the general election.

But if the above sentiment came from a conservative in Ohio or Florida, I would say that it doesn't matter if you would never vote for a democrat. Not voting for the GOP candidate will help elect Hillary Clinton. Mind you, I will not presume to question the preferences of any woman or man, especially an annoyed man. I'm just talking about the electoral college math and the SCOTUS math.

At this stage, almost anybody would be infinitely better for the republic than what we've had the last two terms. I also think a lot of people who didn't actually see the danger in BHO helped to get him elected by saying Romney would have made such a poor president. I don't know how they voted, but every vote counts ultimately. And I seem to remember lots of posts on here about how nobody should vote for a candidate like Romney. I wonder if anyone who actually believed that feels really good about where we are right now?
