The question was posed by the Los Angeles Daily News.
Here are some of the answers the newspaper printed.
‘Good’ isn’t good enough
Ten presidents were defeated for re-election including John Adams, Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush. Thus we know that even good presidents can be beaten. President Barack Obama did not bring us “change you can believe in.” The problem for the Republicans is that they do not yet have a strong candidate. Look who replaced the three I identified: Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. All three were great leaders. Mediocre or good enough will not bring a win for the GOP.
Continuing support for Obama
There is not one Republican candidate qualified to run for president against President Barack Obama, who seems to be going out of his way to cross the aisle to avoid an assassination threat. President Obama will have my vote and be re-elected in 2012, after cleaning up most of the mess left by the Bush/Cheney administration.
Waiting for sensible contender
I suggest they find a normal, working-class man. A person with brains and common sense, with at least a high school or some college education who can realize that another four years of President Obama will never ever get us out of debt.

Other letters supported New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert, Herman Cain (he used to be the CEO of Godfather’s Pizza), and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.
Although there was no supporters for Donald Trump among the letter writers, he is at least the most well-known and certainly one of the smartest people in the GOP. Then again California had Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor and that didn’t turn out too well.
