Quote:Which is why I hope the Republicans will come to their senses, flush all the pretenders out of the clown car, and come up with a serious candidate who is not a right-wing extremist or flame thrower.   What a lot of people call RINOs are actually the type of candidate I tend to support.  

 

The first "flushing" is coming up with the first debate which will be here before you know it.  If you don't get invited to the "first dance", chances are your campaign is done.

 

That being said, I'm curious as to who you think are "pretenders" and why?

 

Next question is which of the nominees do you consider "right-wing extremists" or "flamethrowers"?

 

I actually like the idea of a large field of potential nominees.  While I don't support them all, it does offer a broad perspective and choice.  I would also argue that the number of candidates on the Republican ticket indicates that there is a large and diverse number of people that think that the direction that this country is headed on needs to change.  On the other side of the aisle, you have a "coronation" in the works with Hillary, and her only challenger that has even the slightest hope of winning the democrat nomination is a self-identified socialist.  Where is the "serious" candidate on that side?
