[For more, see video cross-posted at NewsBusters.] MSNBC journalist Luke Russert on Thursday reported live from the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and dismissed two potential presidential candidates. Russert wondered if the Republican Party might nominate a "pragmatic governor" like Chris Christie. He added, "Or are we going Ted Cruz? Are we going Rand Paul and the GOP is going to have their 2016 Barry Goldwater moment?" Barry Goldwater lost the 1964 presidential election in a massive landslide, winning only six states.
