If the 2016 Republican Primary Was Today.....

If the 2016 Republican Primary was held today (assuming We the Conservatives don't form a third party out of disgust), who would you like to see as the nominee to face Hitlery Clinton ?

Many Paultards can’t stand Rand Paul (much like how Conservatives are annoyed by Ron Reagan Jr.), but yes, he would deliver the college libertarian vote.

My guy is Cruz for now, but I would have no problem voting for Rand Paul. Of all the folks mentioned here, he seems to be the only one who’s all but announced that he’s running.

Nope. Ted Cruz is the real deal.

Great list!

I met Allen West at a Tea Party rally here in Florida. It was like meeting Captain America.

Scott Walker is fantastic, but would he win his home state ? Remember, Wisconsin has gone to the Dhimmicrats in the last two presidential elections.

That’s certainly not a knock against Walker. If it came down to it, I would have no problem voting for him.

There’s something to be said about former governors becoming presidents. There was the is guy from California for example....

Anyhoo, the best one on your list is Nikki Haley. She would win her state hands down, whereas Walker might not. I think Walker’s terrific, but as we all know, winning your home state is key.

I like Trey Gowdy. I just don’t know if he has the name recognition.

But then again, who am I to judge ?

That would be cool, but I’d rather see this:

Cruz/West 2016

Then again, I wouldn’t exactly be unhappy if your scenario came to be, either.

He should. He’s a great guy.

My only problem is the fact that he doesn’t have the name recognition as of yet.

However-—

He, like many others who have been mentioned on this thread, would be a heck of a lot easier to vote for than stiffs like John Mclame and Mitt Trotsky.

"I like Trey Gowdy. I just don’t know if he has the name recognition."

He will have enough name recognition if he continues to talk and walk the talk in a Conservative manner.

Hitched to someone like Cruz, who does have a higher profile, he would shine, and we might have a real
government back again, of, by, and for the people.
