I remember footage of Korean business men firing on mobs of looters trying to steal from their businesses during the LA riots....A man on a rooftop with an AR can send a mob of cowards on the run with their tails between their legs!
So, now we have four more years of Obama.
That is a silly generalization. The people that I know that voted for Obama did so because he was the lesser of two evils in their minds. Not because they worshiped Obama.
The truth was, Obama was ripe for losing the last election. If the Republicrats had put up even a half decent candidate they would have won easily. Instead they sent Romney.
Maybe in 2016 they will actually have someone worth voting for.

Again, even if I don't survive, there are many fates worse than death, should it come to it. Let us perennially hope that it never does.
For them to run a true conservative, they would first have to be true conservatives, and thus know what a true conservative wishes to do - to conserve: to conserve rights, to conserve wealth, to conserve our power for use only when it is needed. These globalist/internationalists who would cede away our sovereignty without realizing it never once belonged to them, nor was ever in their hands to cede, will never ever understand why they keep getting bested by the other globalists/internationalists who are more savvy and have no delusions about preserving or conserving anything. So, the odds are not great.
Rand Paul is interesting to me, better than his father in some respects, and hasn't disappointed me yet, although I admit to being fooled by the lamestream media and thought for a brief moment that he actually supported citizenship for illegals. But that's another story. Rubio is out, in my book. He held some promise but absolutely sold us out on the citizenship pathway. Why should we reward those who have already trampled upon our Constitution?
So the field is actually far more narrow than it was in 2011/2012. I think the RNC's post-mortem is interesting, but seeing whether they can stick to it and renew their faith in conservativism - true conservativism - remains to be seen. It's one thing to have a plan, it's quite another to stick to it. Very surprised that they failed to capitalize on the 2010 midterm sweep and lose that momentum in but two years. Hilariously disappointing if the stakes were not as high as they are. But this couldn't be more grave, and I sincerely and severely hope against hope that the "Growth and Opportunity Project" doesn't squander their new information by absorbing the wrong lessons, or even the right ones if absorbed too well. We will have to see.
At any rate, I continue to pray for Rand Paul and his stance against government over-reach, even if - and when - I don't agree with him completely. He's far and away the best chance we have now, in my opinion, although I'm curious to know who, if anyone, you have in mind for 2016.
