LINDSEY GRAHAM DEAD LAST IN PRESIDENTIAL SURVEY.
Weve never had much use for conservative commentator Glenn Beck, but lots of people swear by his opinion and he frequently opines on presidential politics.
Like his recently released presidential preference poll in which his readers graded twenty-eight prospective Republican candidates on a scale from 100 (a.k.a. the best score possible) all the way down to 55, which is the equivalent of all F votes.
The winner? Well it sure as hell wasnt U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham whose warmongering flirtation with the White House earned a dismal response from Becks audience. In fact Graham finished dead last among the twenty-eight names on Becks list with an average scored of 60.33.
Yikes
Faring much better? S.C. governor Nikki Haley who got a 78.19 average score (good for a C-). Haley ranked tenth on Becks list, which were guessing didnt include a category for you know what, never mind.
So who made the grade according to Becks faithful? Only two candidates Wisconsin governor Scott Walker and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz.

Interesting
We like what weve seen of Cruz and Walker so far and of Jindal. And were inclined to give Paul every opportunity to impress us as well. As for the rest of that list? Eh pretty weak. In fact the deeper you go, the weaker it gets
Of course lets face it looking for a national savior within the Republican party is like looking for a virgin in a whorehouse. You can look, but
RAPID REACTION

@fitsnews Walker for the win. At least so far he's the best of the worst

He reminds me of the old snake oil sales guy. Or PT Barnum.
Looks like a Cruz win.
Bret Baier right now interviewing Walker.. has same questions we do. First non-softball treatment I’ve seen of Walker.
Even brings up the 2B budget shortfall facing the gov.
Hammers him on amnesty..... he waffles except ‘I’m not for amnesty.’
Hammers him on no foreign policy... Walker gives a non-answer.. invoking Reagan.. Bret hammers again, just weasel.
Now going over Walker’s Harley hobby..
GOOD JOB, BRET!!!!!!! Recommend everybody view the interview once FNC posts it.
The media and democrats will do everything in their power to make sure Jeb is the candidate
and the gope will be right there with them. The gope will do anything they can to stop Cruz, such as phoney, baloney drudge polls.
LOL!!
Simple .. the MSM has convinced the public that the President can only be A GOVERNOR. Since Ted is a SENATOR .. he’s not “experienced” enough to be President .. at least that’s what the left always tries to tell us.
Only one thing wrong with that: THE DEMS WANTED A SENATOR BECAUSE HE WAS AN ULTRA RADICAL LEFTIST .. AND BLACK. But, Cruz is not suitable because he’s a “senator” ..??
People better wake up and figure this stuff out.
TED CRUZ is the best candidate for President. He has NO FEAR OF DEMOCRATS; THE MEDIA; THE GOPe; and Ted can tell the difference between an enemy and an ally.
I have the same question. If Cruz has the best score how is a Walker win?
The establishment wants Bush. That is evident.
To accomplish that they must systematically destroy every viable conservative.
My favorite is Cruz, however, it behooves us to protect all of the other viables. When is it safe to start leaving some of them behind. ONLY after conservatives decide on ONE candidate to push. I hope that will be Cruz but the long knives are already out for him.

Ms. Lindsay’s boyfriend, Mr. McStupid, will be very, very angry. He might say Beck is a terrorist.
LOL!
