CPAC 2013 Suggests 2016 will be epic

Seriously, the fact Chris Cristie wasn't invited to CPAC 2013 is huge news in terms of what 2016's Presidential nomination battle is going to look like. Far right conservatives surely aren't happy they got stuck with Romney and lost. But there's no obvious Reagan 2.0 out there to unite the Tea Party and establishment. 2016 could end up really brutal for the Republicans.

For the Democrats, if Hillary runs, everyone else will get out of her way. If not it could get interesting.

  • I really think it will be a Democrat who wins in 2016 (yay!).  The Republicans (as I've mentioned in other posts) just won't get their act together in time (if ever).  They need to completely revamp their party and what it stands for if they hav

  • Chris Christie and Jeb Bush have no chance.  I can't imagine either one winning in the primary.  I could see Rubio or a governor.  Susana Martinez did well at the 2012 convention.

    By the way, the GOP was slaughtered and left for de

  • Back to politics I agree that once immigration and other social issues are off the table the party will be stronger. The thing is though that I don't see that happening in time for 2016.  There is a stronghold within the gop that is vehemently oppose

  • I'm not so sure once immigration and gay marriage are "solved" that will be that. It's still a wedge issue among Republicans. Look at the reaction Rob Portman's been getting from his own party. If the primaries are a race to the far right again like 20

  • ObamaCare is damaging on its merits.  Many employers will soon kick their employees off the health care coverage they currently have because it's much cheaper to pay a fine than to continue with the coverage.  Something can be constitutional

  • I read a few articles about health care premiums going up.  What a shock---you mean we can't put 30+ million people into the system and spend the same or less?

    Maybe this is on purpose: to tank the health insurance so that people will be be
