A quick revue of the "Republican Presidential Candidates".
Only one qualified, Huntsman. He can look forward to one or two per cent of the Republican vote.
Romney, may be qualified but has assumed all the far right positions to try to get the nomination and will have to reverse himself one more time if he has any hope of winning the general election.. He's already a two time loser.
Down hill from there.
Bachman, Perry and Santorum think they are running for deacon or pastor of a fundamentalist Christian church. That won't sell in the general election. Santorum has already been rejected once.
Paul, is basically an anarchist and would destroy the government and we would all be at the mercy of the plutocrats. He would send us even more quickly than the others towards an economy like a banana republic.
Gingerich, would represent Gingerich and only Gingerich. For a fee he would do something for someone else. Most of us can't afford his fee schedule.
Pawlenty, might have been qualified.
Trump, is now and always has been a joke.
Palin, same as Trump but not as smart.
Cain, had a one issue campaign, 9-9-9. To be charitable it made no sense. To analyze it in more detail, it robbed from the poor and gave to the rich.
Did I forget anyone?
