Chris Christie a conservative?
BBBWWAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHH
Oh, I see. They surveyed ‘Republicrats’, not Conservatives. That explains it.

Ryan and Christie stand the best chances if you ask me. Jeb’s going to be weighed down by his last name as polls still show a good bit of animosity towards Dubya regarding the economy ( http://www.gallup.com/poll/163427/bush-bears-brunt-blame-economic-woes.aspx ). Cruz is batshit insane. Rubio is a sellout. Rand is questionable, he stands a chance but I don’t see him making it.
If that isn’t sad enough, the notion of Hilary and Biden being in the Democrat primary should make you want to cry. I can already see my ass firmly planted in the recliner on election day 2016.
With that muddy field, I see an opening for Mark Sanford and his multi-lingual South of the Boarder beloved. He might be contemplating his “worthiness” to serve now, but that should resolve as his ego continues to reassert itself while warring with his reduced gravitas as citizen legislator.

Since when is Paul Ryan an establishment Republican? I thought he was a Tea Partier, or at least a legit conservative. At least that was the book on him in 2012 before he and Mitt got their asses handed to them.
Paul Ryan is about as conservative as the Obonehead in the House. He and Boenherd are about as conservative as a rainbow.

Years ago I read an explanation of surveys that showed the results in a survey of 1,000 people vs. a survey of 10,000 people had a very minor difference (I had always wondered how a survey of 1,000 people could show the outcome of hundreds of thousands or millions of people) and I wish I could find that again. That same report also explained about where and how you ask can influence the outcome also, such as a question about legalizing prostitution. Ask parishioners as they are leaving church with the preacher watching vs. asking people as they are leaving the bar at closing time. Even knowing all that I still wonder if one could truly get the actual feel of the electorate in a political survey of 1,000 people let alone the 500 people in this survey. I would think one would have to do the survey of 500 people in each of the 50 states (or 57 if you listen to the President). Even in primaries the winner rarely takes all the states and his “take” is sort of a quilt. But to the point of this survey by PPP, didn’t they blow it with the SC-1 race?
If you click thru to the PPP poll results, you will see that this poll was conducted by automated phone calls.
Although Rand Paul enjoys a small lead over other Republicans — not outside the margin of error — he loses by eight points to Hilary Clinton in a general election, worst of the major contenders.

Who’s turn is it? The Republicans always nominate the next one in line. My guess is it’s Ryan since he ran for veep. Provided his family history of heart disease doesn’t get him first.
Rick Santorum is the next in line. He had the second best run for the nomination. That is who historical gets it the next time.

Ayn Rand Paul and Ted ” Underwater sea” Cruz are up? Oh I get it …to no
good ! Yeah Marco Rubio just emigrated from the Primary Lindsey-style !
Same crowd just different names and faces.
Just for fun—–who comes the closest to being a statesperson (f/k/a statesman)? Damn !

Don’t take these polls too seriously . I am very tunned -in to what’s happening in politics and I read one poll one day and the next poll survey will be very different.
In the past 10 days or so I have read that Rand Paul leads the bunch, then the poll numbers after that said Christie was leading. The next poll had Cruz at the top. Two other polls had Ryan as the winner . Once even Jeb Bush lead the pack .
I pick Ryan or Paul. The only reason I could stomach Paul though is because he’s libertarian , and I don’t like the extreme conservative in the Rep. party or the extremely moderate in the party. I figure Paul is somewhere in between.
About Ryan : I think people should understand, before they judge him by his performance as a campaigner, that he is quite the different ( and better) person on the job. He would have made a good vice-president in spite of poor campaigning. He had a lot to offer, but he is not a campaigner. He is still a leader, an idea person, a person who gets things done and a pervasive personlity that people listen to .
