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 ?

Correct me if I am wrong (as I normally am) but I recall hearing Cruz was from Canada and thus can’t hold the office of president.

Then again, that didn’t stop Obama.

That’s it. I’m changing my vote from Lee to Cruz. (Sorry, Mike.)

“The rancid Republican leadership would go through hell and high water to prevent either of them appearing on the ticket anyway, so it’s a rather moot point.”

You got that right.

Trey Gowdy should be considered.

Cruz. Of the ones being discussed, I think he is the mst likely to win. He as smart ad they come. Passionate. Courageous. Calm. He’s been in front of the Supreme Court and has the calm credibility needed.

“I would prefer a governor, either current or former.”

That’s always a good idea. To throw a name out there, how about Mary Fallin, the governor of Oklahoma ?

Maybe this time, we can pick a candidate that would win his or her home state. I’m no expert like Tokyo Rove or anything, but that’s always a step in the right direction.

I voted for Sarah Palin in 2008. I ignored the old buzzard that was her running mate.

You got that right. The party leaders who are allegedly on our side don’t have the will to fight, unless they’re fighting us.

Excellent point. +1!

I like him, too. But I think name recognition would be a problem. (Please forgive me for sounding like Tokyo Rove.)

However-—

I could see definitely see him as Attorney General.

I changed my vote from Mike Lee to Ted Cruz.

I thought it would be fun to exercise our 2016 Primary muscles. Why not ?

Watch this:

Cruz/West 2016 (or vice versa)

The arrogant and lazy media wouldn’t know what to do with themselves. The race card would be destroyed once and for all.

I like Cruz, but not sure about the natural born citizen thing.

Scott Walker would be a good choice.

I like Rand Paul because he understands and believes in our Constitution. He is also able to communicate his principles.

The Obama precedent makes Ted Cruz eligible. The moonbat to this payback will be priceless.

You think I’m kidding- what better way to thwart the two-term limit?
