Why...... is he retiring and shutting his oily mouth?

For once, I hope Matthews is right. However, I know he is wrong. The Republican Machine is going to nominate Jeb Bush, and he is going to lose to a Clinton/Christie ticket.

No Chris, what you do for a living is bore 26 people to death every night by being overbearing, obnoxious while drenching your quests in spittle. And that's when you are not making everyone uncomfortable with your borderline homosexual admiration for the president. That is what you do....

I think they'll run Bloomberg.

That pretty much sums it up.

This is confirmation of what I've been saying all along, many of those that voted for Hussein, did so because they hated RINO/Bush and the policies of the GOP and now they're gravitating towards libertarianism, for yet another change in direction, and seriously away from socialist/Marxists.

You know Mathews has seen the Dims internal polling, and that's where he got this.

Do you really think he's throwing in with Paul  ?  That would be bizarre.

I hadn't even considered that.

Do you all really imagine that Rand Paul has the ability to be elected president?


What coalitions has he been able to form, a problem he shares with his father?

Rand Paul's greatest endeavor has been that prominent filibuster. How did that end? It ended with Rand making the statement that the President can appoint whomever he wants to office, which not only is not what the Constitution indicates, but also Rand, by this statement,  totally neutered the purpose of his own filibuster! 

Where in any of this is the sharp mind, shrewd judgment, keen focused goals, and ability to unite people, that are all necessary skills to lead this country out of the abyss?

Hang on folks Look at what is happening here. MSNBC has a direct line to the White House. That isn't hyperbole that is the truth. Maddow is s frequent guest. This will be the new narrative.  In 2012 it was Romney is an evil rich guy who killed people, hated dogs and would ban abortion. Just think of what the talking points will be with Paul. It's starting. Even if Paul does not run. In other words the Tea Party is obviously surging and they are worried.

Really doesn't matter, the point is, the Dims internals are showing an angry base that is about to kick the RINO out of the party.
The Dims are worried as Hell, this also translates into a beating of the socialist agenda.

Are we really all that certain of those 'internals', and can we even allow ourselves to be at this point?

We allowed ourselves to believe that McCain actually had a shot in 2008, when the guy didn't even challenge Obama's claim in the 2nd Presidential debate that the Repubicans were responsible for the economic collapse.

We then had numerous Right Wing progosticators saying that Romney was going to win, and win in a landslide.

I've even read a thread on this forum that Robert's betrayal of us with ObamaCare was actually a GOOD thing, and a gift, handing us the 2012 election, and making it easier to remove ObamaCare.

The Problem all along has been that the Republican party really doesn't want to fight the effective fight that would win, and that involves returning government to its constitutional "box", and that problem has not changed one bit. 

The Republican Leadership still really doesn't want to remove ObamaCare, they're pushing for Amnesty, and still providing cover for Obama's Middle East excursions, and just a week ago voted secretly to give Syrian rebels arms, which is the same thing that got us the Benghazi attack, and Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood.

Why should we now, .... again, believe that the Republicans suddenly look any better to Americans than these Dems?

He had been talking for a long time; I can't help but wonder if he meant "nominate", rather than appoint.

It really doesn't matter...Obama's appointments are the least of our worries.

He is the culmination of decades of abuse of power.

Laws are now being established by executive order, EPA mandates, OSHA rules, the FDA, the FCC, the USDA, DHS, IRS, and lots more; all of them without congressional approval.

I like Rand Paul. I don't know yet if he's the guy for the job, or even if he can get it. We still have the popular vote, and the constitution isn't very popular these days.

Whoever the next president is, is going to have a hell of a job on their hands. The toilet water is turning.

Obama has managed to:

Contribute to the mid east meltdown.
Socialize the entire student loan industry.
Socialize our medical system, with no clue how to implement it.
Devalue our currency.
Add tens of millions to food stamp and welfare roles, (democrat voters).
Create the largest, (fake), stock bubble in history...with the help of the fed.
Push through everyday warrantless spying on Americans.
Use government agencies to punish political enemies.

I'll never be able to name everything. It's a long list.

Speaking of long lists, I have a long list of Obama's impeachable offenses which began after he first took office,  with G.M., and I generally stopped keeping it up sometime around the Gulf oil disaster.

But will we see him ever impeached? Not on your life.

The Dems will not allow his impeachment so long as the control even one house of Congress, and even then, if we were to hold both houses,  the Republicans would not impeach him for fear of fallout. ...  and really they're not all that against what Obama is doing, as current events have shown. 

They've actually handed Obama power that only they have authority to wield under the Constitution.
