The first accusation they'd throw at him is that he's a RINO. Baker could never have been elected in Massachusetts if he had been an extremist TGOPer (like our neighbors to the north, Mainers, when they elected that clown, LePage.)<br /><br />Baker represents what the Republican Party USED to be nationally. He's a decent man, and very blue Massachusetts has proved again that when it comes to elections, voters vote the man/woman, not necessarily the party.

How does Trump broaden his base without losing the visceral support he now has?<br /><br />For his part, Mr. Black, the pundit on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” said Trump simply isn’t presidential material. “He’s not suited to be president, and he will not be president.”<br /><br />With the media accepting that Trump is around for at least a while, the focus will shift to his record, which is fairly liberal, and his policy prescriptions, which are thin at this point.

To point out that the TGOP fell in love with Dr. Carson, not because he's politically gifted, but because the TGOP sees a man of color who repeats their uninformed notions of how this country is attacking God and Christians, who repeats ignorant ideas about how one becomes a homosexual, who refers to human beings in terms of "packaging them up" and sending them back to where they came from, or even worse, bombing caves where they might be hiding from the border patrol. All of those ideas are nutty and his latest claim about religion and Christianity being attacked is ignorant.<br /><br />The TGOP were relentless in attacking Barack Obama for his lack of political experience and slim resume for the presidency (even though he'd been a state and then a US Senator), and now they're embracing a guy with absolutely NO political experience in any area, but because he's their guy, that is overlooked.<br /><br />Dr. Ben seems like a kindly older gentleman who would probably be a good mentor for young men and women looking toward the medical field as a profession.<br /><br />As a presidential candidate, he's a disaster, and he makes the people who are supporting him look exceedingly foolish and reckless.<br /><br /> Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-33248461412351598122015-08-25T11:33:56.288-04:002015-08-25T11:33:56.288-04:00Just more pandering to the uninformed, meaningless...Just more pandering to the uninformed, meaningless sound bites.Jerry Critterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870618647449723147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-5154758855505343302015-08-25T11:14:15.100-04:002015-08-25T11:14:15.100-04:00Shaw, this is a little off-topic, unless the topic...Shaw, this is a little off-topic, unless the topic is crazy GOP candidates; but here's <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2015/0824/Has-the-media-now-accepted-Donald-Trump-What-that-could-mean-video" rel="nofollow">a link</a> to story about the front-runner.<br /><br />I see they're all attacking the prez for a stock market correction without pointing out that the markets have all more than doubled since he took office.
