Holly Robichaud posted a column in the Boston Herald<\/a> today about the political landscape over the next two years.<\/p>\n

The article lists the conservative Republican presidential candidates as follows:<\/p>\n

The GOP\u2019s extensive field includes Sens. Ted Cruz<\/a> of Texas and Rand Paul<\/a> of Kentucky, and Govs. John Kasich<\/a> of Ohio, Scott Walker of Wisconsin, Mike Pence<\/a> of Indiana and Louisiana\u2019s Bobby Jindal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Cruz is no favorite of the D.C. \u2028establishment, his political backbone in working to stop the Obama agenda will be an advantage. Unlike Speaker John Boehner<\/a>, Cruz embraces November\u2019s message that Americans overwhelmingly reject Obama\u2019s policies, including amnesty.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul should be red hot due to his appeal to younger voters, but his foreign policy and amnesty positions will hold him back.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kasich, from a key electoral state, has served in Congress and been a Fox News host. As governor he created 45,000 new jobs and fixed an $8 billion budget deficit, and he\u2019s someone to watch.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article also mentions the moderate Republican candidates–Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and Mitt Romney. If the number of conservative candidates split the conservative vote, one of these men could win the nomination.<\/p>\n

The article also discusses the Democrat field:<\/p>\n

Incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell<\/a> will have to decide between being a Boehner clone \u2014 which will depress the GOP base vote in 2016 \u2014 and being a leader in fighting Obama\u2019s destructive executive orders. If he chooses the latter, McConnell could play kingmaker in the primary.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most Democrats understand President Obama<\/a> has moved the country too far to the left, except our U.S. Sen. Lizzy Warren, who thinks the whole world is the People\u2019s Republic of Cambridge<\/a>. Ultraliberals will continue to rally around her as the rest of Democrats try to go mainstream to save the party from extinction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the conservative movement wants a presidential candidate in 2016, they are going to have to unite around one candidate, and during the next two years, they are going to have to show the country that they have workable ideas as to how to turn America back to the constitutional republic it was intended to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
