I can live with the Cruz/Paul (Paul/Cruz) combination. We pretty much know where Paul is at. Unlike that backstabber PaulRyan, who's with us on no issues....but they snuck him by us as a conservative. Rand Paul is good about individual freedom from government overreach, wanting to get rid of the Federal Reserve, states rights, and not fighting wars we have no business being in. Immigration is his Achilles Heel, but he's come over toward sanity on that issue, and the Chamber of Commerce doesn't own him. Having a dad who served all of those years in the HOR, he's not overly impressed by being part of the DC crowd. His libertarian views aren't out of sync with our wanting a constitutional government.
If it's not that combination, the ticket will either have a RINO or be painted by the dems as extremely conservative.
Think about it. Cruz/Paul keep up this tag team of being first and second, it's much, much better than any other nominees we'd get. Together, they overwhelm the status quo.
Voting for Libertarians or the latest flavor of the GOPe will not produce a Conservative result...
“Together, they overwhelm the status quo. “
No one ever overwhelms the status quo. The status quo is there for a reason. Not reagan, not goldwater, not palin will overwhelm the status quo.
Even Obama has had trouble overwhelming the status quo and he is trying really hard to do that.
