Terminating With Extreme Prejudice The Doctrine Of Drift, Decline And Defeatism

“Conservatives must remember the policies and victories of Ronald Reagan. We can and must replace the Obama-Clinton-Kerry-Biden Doctrine of drift, decline and defeatism with a Reaganite foreign policy. That is the key to success this November and in 2016, and that is the key to ensuring America’s freedom and security in the years ahead,” said former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, on the opening day of this year’s CPAC.

Saturday we will learn the final results of the CPAC Straw Poll.  CPAC attendees are rejecting the Republican establishment and its brand of Big Government "me-too-ism" in favor of candidates who are authentic representatives of the grassroots conservative base of the Party.

The results of the first poll give Rand Paul 29%, Ted Cruz 17%, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio and Chris Christie 10%, Scott Walker 7%, Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush and Rick Santorum 2%, and Mike Pence (1%)

Note: Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal did not receive enough votes to remain on the leader board.

The GOP has a deep roster of potential presidential candidates.  The table below provides you with the current list and the non-viability I see in their candidacy.  I welcome your opinion.  If it differs from mine, I’d love to discuss them openly with you.  We’re all in this together—standing guard over liberty.
