Road to the Sunshine Summit Series Starts on Monday

October 16, 2015 - 12:30pm
With 2016 around the corner, the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) will be hosting the Sunshine Summit in Orlando from Nov. 12-14 and the stakes will be high. 
 
Twelve of the Republican presidential hopefuls -- Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, John Kasich, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Rick Santorum and Donald Trump -- will be on hand at the Sunshine Summit as they look ahead to the March 15 presidential primary. Florida is likely, once again, to be the front lines of the general election in November 2016 as the Sunshine State should be the largest swing state in the Electoral College. 
 
The presidential hopefuls will take most of the spotlight, but there’s another important race already taking shape as Rubio has said he will not run for a second Senate term. Florida Republicans Ron DeSantis, David Jolly, Carlos Lopez-Cantera and Todd Wilcox are already off and running and they will be at the Sunshine Summit trying to win support for their Senate bids.
 
Over the next few weeks, Sunshine State News will look at the presidential and Senate candidates who will be on stage at the Sunshine Summit and what is at stake as they take their messages to Republicans across Florida. Starting on Monday, Sunshine State News will turn its attention to the Senate hopefuls. Sunshine State News will focus on the presidential candidates who will be at the Sunshine Summit starting on Monday, Oct. 26.
 
We hope readers will join us on the road to the Sunshine Summit.

Not only did we not elect Goldwater, we DID elect LBJ. LBJ had to be the WORST president we ever had. The Great Society. The War on Poverty. And, of course, his and the car salesman Bob McNamara's crowing achievement, The Vietnam War. Tell me again why we were in Vietnam? There is a whole generation of people still paying and suffering from that great triumph. He created what we now call the food stamp program. Because it was your "right" to have food you did not work for. And free rent. And free phones. And payments for your illegitimate kids. Well, kids, we don't have a Great Society, we lost the Vietnam War, we lost the War on Poverty and we lost the War on Drugs. After ruining millions of lives over pot, creating an entire criminal class, we are now broke and getting into the business. Kind of like after Bumpy Johnson died with his lottery millions, we decided to get into the lottery business. There are 7 billion people in a world that can support 2 billion. And yet we charge on. Ain't none of these people going to change anything although I think Ted Cruz is the smartest of the bunch. Much as I smile at the Donald - and remember - the Donald did not make his money. He inherited it. His father would probably have been a great president. But when he said that Carly Fiorina was too ugly to vote for - well, I would have felt the back of my mothers hand if I said something like that in 3rd grade. Trump is reaching a bunch of pissed off people that see the country they knew and loved destroyed on a daily basis. And then we have Obama. Hell, I have to go to work.

I am a republican. What other choice is there? But ALL of the candidate (R&D) are a disgrace. I resent most of them because they take up space and breathe air. Unless there is a dramatic change - and soon - the country is shot. The economic base that made us rich was natural resources. We have squandered them. When you turn on the water tap and nothing comes out - or what comes out is not fit to drink - there is a BIG problem. I say again. The last real chance we had to turn this aircraft carrier around was in 64 when he could have elected Goldwater. We didn't. Now murderers in prison on death row get sex change operations. The BLT people ( I can't keep up with all their sexual perversions anymore. I just call them all BLTs) have more rights than we do. Illegals don't have to sneak across the border. They march in and surrender to begin their federal entitlements. Islamic terrorists are read "their rights" instead of being shot on sight. I am not hopeful and this bunch of pandering, hack politicians sucking at the government teat makes me even less so. I like The Donald, and if he is the candidate I will vote for him. But he will never be the POTUS

What a bunch of mental midgets repubs have this yr. And their debates are entertaining as they try to get their lies together and insult each other like children the whole US gets to see them as they are.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Between them and repubs in the house, senate this winter repubs will not only not get the presidency, but like lose the Senate and maybe even the house because they can't govern and running on bigotry, hate and anti freedom of women, others in their rants. Thanks repubs for making sure Hillary will win.
