LOL Ice Spear and Mizzouian can never stop theirselves from displaying their utter hackishness when it comes to making predictions about Republican voters.
The fact is they never understood the actual reason why Trump won, Humongous amount of Name Recognition, a super divided field , 2 billion in free media (without this he loses) , and Republican Establishment giving all the money to Jeb when nobody was in the mood for another Bush in office.
The fact is this primary will be either a closer version of 2000 or 2012. If Extreme wins it will be 2000, If I win it will be 2012 but what I know for certain is it wont be 2016.
BTW: If Mitt Romney and John McCain werent too liberal for Republican voters, I certainly wouldn't be either(I am probably to the right of them on many issues)
You may be to the right of them on issues that Republican voters either don't care about or actively oppose you on. You're to the left of them on nearly everything they prioritze and actually base their vote on.
Did you notice all those Missouri Republicans who voted against right to work?
Actually no I dont think there is many issues Im to the left of Romney on
On Immigration: I support Romney on enforcing E-Verify and denying government benefits to illegal immigrants. Romney by the way also supported making it easier for people who graduated in a Marketable Degree or had a good job here for many years to get a green card. I support that as well
On Trade: Romney was pretty supportive of free trade with exception of China , which is my postion as well
Abortion: I support a 20 week ban , and banning government funding for it . I would say that during the debate and people would still applaud.
Obamacare: this would be problematic but I probably would come up with a replacement plan which is probably pretty close on the ideological scale as Ocare so I might be able to skate by on that issue
