 Rasmussen Election 2014 South Dakota Senatorial Survey:
Survey of 500 likely South Dakota voters. The survey was conducted on February 25, 2014 - February 26, 2014. The margin of error is +/- 4.5%. Libertarian Contributor Richard Stevens: The Republican Party has had its triumphant victories and crushing defeats, but it has kept preaching the same small government "Don't Tread on Me" conservatism. The problem is that they don't always abide by it. Example: "Keep the government out of my life!" they howl. The problem is that they support legislating morality by supporting having the government intrude into our personal lives by deciding who we can marry and what we can ingest or smoke. I am by no means endorsing these things, but it is hypocrisy. They preach that politics as usual must end, but then once elected they become part of the status-quo. Very few remain the hardcore reformists they claim to be. Almost all remain in office for several terms and some until they die. Hypocrisy. Now can the GOP evade hypocrisy claims? Well, they could start by preaching a consistently small government platform. Freedom in all ways of life. The GOP needs to stop supporting freedom fiscally, but authoritarianism socially. Support freedom in both. If the GOP starts nominating people with a backbone and little weakness, then there will be less of the status-quo. Then, they will be free from hypocrisy.

Survey of 543 Texas Republican primary voters. The survey was conducted on February 7, 2014 - February 17, 2014. The margin of error is +/- 4.21%. I want to take a look at the last ten Presidents and show what office they held before they became President. 44. Barack Obama (D) - Illinois Senator 43. George W. Bush (R) - Texas Governor 42. Bill Clinton (D) - Arkansas Governor 41. George H.W. Bush (R) - Ronald Reagan VP 40. Ronald Reagan (R) - California Governor 39. Jimmy Carter (D) - Georgia Governor 38. Gerald Ford (R) - Richard Nixon VP 37. Richard Nixon (R) - Dwight D. Eisenhower VP 36. Lyndon Johnson (D) - John F. Kennedy VP 35. John F. Kennedy (D) - Massachusetts Senator First off I want to say the reason why I only go back to the last ten Presidents is because American politics as we know was very different before Kennedy became President. If you look at the list, four out of the ten Presidents were Governors before they became President. Four out of ten were Vice Presidents before they became President, and only two were Senators. So what does this tell us about 2016. Well since Republican's don't have an incumbent Vice President and there is no former Vice President out there that will run for President we can cross that off the list. Now we are left with Senators, Representatives, and Governors. The only two Presidents in history that were a representative before they became President were James Garfield and Abraham Lincoln. So the chances of a Representative becoming the Republican nominee or even the President in 2016 is very slim. As for Senators, they have a really good chance of getting the Republican nomination but a less of a chance to become President simply based off the trend. So chances are the Republican nominee in 2016 will probably be a Governor. People tend to be more comfortable electing Governors to the White House because the job description for being a Governor and a President is very similar. They are both executives but Governor are just on a smaller scale. |
