They’d get my vote every time. That said, my track record ain’t all that great.

I think so too. Never impressed me like Cruz, Gowdy and Palin.

He’s not quite his father. Ron Paul is a little kooky, but I can’t really say he’s a sellout.

The Paul’s must have some plan to maintain the family business, already Rand has gotten farther than his farther ever did, he actually won a statewide office.

Look, we all know this is a conservative site, and what people here prefer. But we also know how GOP Presidential politcs work (if there is any doubt, see 2008 and 2012).

Realistically, it’s probably already too late for anyone to mount a 3rd party effort, and it most likely would not lead to success and split the vote so that the Democrat wins.

But please help me understand how it is that the GOP will come to do what is necessary (in terms of campaign resources, allocation of funds, messaging, etc.) to enable a conservative to become the 2016 nominee. All I’ve seen thus far is public disdain and dismissal of people like Palin and Cruz from the GOP. In private, I’m sure it is more like outright hatred. When the leaders of their own party are against them, how can they win?

I’m not saying Rand Paul should be the nominee, but I am able to see a stronger logical path for that to happen. And I think that is what these panelists did, too.

I’d have to agree. Some of his recent statements have totally turned me off on him. Sadly, another Rubio.

The Scab is usually a joke but he right about Rand Paul.

Go Cruz-Palin or Palin-Cruz

Cruz / Palin? Seems highly implausible to me. It would be strange for Palin to run for VP a second time, and an odd situation where the Donks have a woman at the top of the ticket and the GOP a woman in the number two spot.

Palin's only plausible spot is at the top of the ticket. Palin / Cruz would make more sense.

But, I tihnk Cruz is stronger candidate for the general. I'd be happy with either, or both, but don't think the Cruz/Palin ticket will happen.

But I want to know what Scarborough’s dead intern thinks of 2016!
