What Republican will run for the 2016 nomination?

Clearly, the Republican party can't support a presidential candidate who is unqualified to be elected the leader of the free world. Donald Trump has proven that he is unqualified to be nominated for president. As Hillary Clinton aptly stated, "Donald Trump is dangerously incoherent". 

In "To Kill a Mockingbird", Atticus Finch said, "One thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience".

Therefore, who will be the GOP standard bearer and lead the party during the election?

I submit two names for my nomination. Both men have tried in the past but failed to appeal to voters.  Congressman Newt Gingrich (okay Democrats, just take an antacid Tums and deal with this potential) and Mayor Rudy Guiliani.


Suck it up Democrats because, at least, Gingrich is qualified to be nominated!

Of course, stupid Donald Trump is lashing out at Newt Gingrich, because the former Congressman and Speaker of the House has criticized the "Trumponian" bigotry expressed against Judge Gonzolo Curiel, who is overseeing the case against fraudulent "Trump University".

Donald Trump is increasingly behaving like a mad man:
FoxNews reports;
Donald Trump bristled Monday at supporter Newt Gingrich joining the chorus of criticism over his comments about the Mexican heritage of a federal judge -- saying it was "inappropriate" for Gingrich to weigh in, while once again defending his remarks.

For days, stupid Trump has defended claims that American-born District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, whose parents are from Mexico, has a conflict of interest as he considers lawsuits against Trump University.

Gingrich, speaking on "Fox News Sunday," called the remarks “inexcusable.”

Trump, though, pushed back during an interview Monday with "Fox & Friends."

“I saw Newt and I was surprised at Newt. I thought it was inappropriate, what he said,” Trump said.

Gingrich, though, is far from the only Republican challenging Trump's claims that the judge is biased against him because of his plans to build a wall along the Southern border. (Excuse me???? Why hasn't the media challenged this? America isn't supposed to build this idiotic wall. Does stupid Donald Trump realize, or did he forget, he said it was Mexico that was supposed to build this ridiculous anti immigration wall!)
The top two Republican congressional leaders have scolded Trump, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich -- who recently suspended his presidential campaign -- on Monday urged Trump to apologize.

Gingrich's criticism was especially pointed, coming from a figure thought to be a potential running mate prospect for Trump.
“It was one of the worst mistakes Trump has made. Inexcusable,” the former GOP House speaker, who has become one of Trump’s closest advisers, told “Fox News Sunday.”

Although Newt Gingrich is ambitious, it's doubtful he desires to be a president of "vice" with Donald Trump. Rather, it makes more sense for Gingrich to run for the leadership office himself, rather than be sucked into the wake of the doomed 2016 Republican equivilent of the Titanic.

Republicans have no plan for America- they just whine

It's sad to read the daily political reports about how the Republicans are critical of everything, but unwilling to solve anything.  

Now, Republicans are complaining about President Obama being in Cuba, attending an international baseball game, when the American Tampa FL team was playing the Cubans. Instead, the Republicans, the wanna-be presidents, think President Obama should've returned to Washington DC. Yet, when Republicans complain about where President Obama was while Brussels was attacked, they have no idea about what President Obama would do if he returned to Washington DC? It's plainly stupid to criticize President Obama without offering any constructive advice. Ted Cruz whines, Rudy Guilini pontificates, but neither offers a plan for improving the Brussels crises.

In fact, President Obama was building an important relationship with our Cuban neighbors, a mere 90 miles from Key West, Florida. Besides, right wing Republicans go into seizures about the possibility of closing the Guantanamo prison where suspected terrorists are being held for years, without trials. Yet, Republicans are appalled because President Obama wants to build relationships with Cuba that will improve our potential to maintain the base located on Cuban property. 

Meanwhile, the terrible Brussels attacks were conducted by terrorists who were, apparently, hiding in plain view of their neighbors. Do Republicans think President Obama can fix the Belgian security system? It certainly makes more sense for President Obama to fix what he has the power to repair- meaning, the US-Cuban international relationship.

Rudy Giuliani: Obama should have cut Cuba trip short because Brussels was his ‘Pearl Harbor’-OMG: Brussels was certainly not Pearl Harbor. Indeed, does Guiliani know Pearl Harbor is in Hawaii?

Somehow, the Belgians have to figure out how their security was unable to find known terrorists living right under their noses in downtown Brussels. President Obama cannot help them.

Terrorists intend for their horror to disrupt people's lives. Therefore, none of us can let them have their heinous way.  

President Obama made the perfect decision to stay in Cuba while his international team supports European efforts to destroy evil ISIS, the radical Islamic caliphate that's living in their midst, among the population, in plain site.
