“Cruz, Walker and Pence”

Are any of those three running for certain?

I’d vote for Trump in a second. The press has already given him several media colonoscopies. It would throw them into fits. Maybe he’d pick a strong VP,,what if Trump picked Cruz as VP? The money will follow Trump and that will pizz off the Dems. There is no perfect, stellar Republican. Get over that purist attitude. Whatever Pubbie runs will be subject to microscopic scrutiny of their past including which ice cream truck they liked as a six year-old. Trump has already weathered bad press and believe this,,THE PRESS IS THE ENEMY. They haven’t destroyed Trump yet. Press animosity HAS to be considered. There are so many squishy politicians who are too timid to say they are running. Everyone is considering it.

Trump will knee-cap Elizabeth Warren with his ‘no bank is too big to fail and some banks think they are more important than they are.’ Warren is staking out ‘bad’ banks and ‘bad’ Wallstreet as her territory and Trump will take a big bite out of that without apology.

If he picks a serious VP, I’m totally on board with it. Esp if Cruz doesn’t run for POTUS.

Just my two cents.

I don’t think Trump is serious but if it comes down to Jeb, Mitt or The Donald color me Trumped.

There is no perfect, stellar Republican. Get over that purist attitude.

I named three candidates, all of whom have serious positions in the party. There are others whom I would be ahppy with who are unlikely to run. The purists tend to be Ben Carson/Alan Keyes/Ron Paul backers.

The reason Cruz, Walker, Paul, Jeb Bush et al have not formally announced tehy are running has to do with campaign laws. It also has to do with getting as much media coverage at the right time for exposure to best effect. He toyed with running in 2012, but never pulled the trigger.
