We might find a million flaws with them, but their paid for propoganda has a million flaws with our guys.

Therefore by equivalency their candidates are as good as ours.

I can't think of any others I would put in the "strong" category.

I don't understand this obsession some have with 2016. Not only is the President the weakest of the three branches of government but Republicans don't have a chance to win the WH for the foreseeable future.

2014.

I am hoping the field consists of Ted Nugent, Donald Trump, Louie Gohmert, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Alex Jones, Sarah Palin, and the Duck Dynasty guy. I would consider that a strong field of candidates, that is of course strong in the sense that there would be a strong potential for the funniest debates in history.
