Ted Cruz & Scott Walker are the only two worth anything, the rest are a waste of time & space.
IMO, no one else matters. All the others just add to the political white noise.
I agree!
Walker is well known by his election wins and all the publicity that came from them. But Cruz is not as well known and he needs to find a way to be heard.
Ted Cruz is the only guy that might not sell us out on amnesty. Most of the rest have already declared their support for “Comprehensive Screwing Of Americans”.
Most likely to win? Paul?
Not a chance. His percent of support is likely to remain about the same and cause trouble until he drops out, but there’s about zero chance his support can increase significantly.
reverse the field
Cluelessness...what to expect from Politico.
Bush, Rubio, and Christie are completely and totally unacceptable. The democrat will carry my state in any case, but I will not vote for a democrat pretending to be republican under any circumstances.
Walker worries me on Amnesty, and I’m not sure I would trust any claims that his views had “evolved” toward supporting the rule of law. Any candidate who thinks criminals should be rewarded for their crimes is a non-starter for my vote.
Rand Paul has a crazy father, more than nutty enough that I am not thrilled with the idea of someone raised by Ron Paul, and I’m not sure about Rand in any case. His one virtue is that I trust him. He’s likely to spout off with things I’ll hate, and he will mean them. On the good side, he will spout off with things I love, and he will mean those too.
And then there is Ted Cruz. He may (or may not) tack toward the center in terms of political posturing. In his case, I’m okay with that. I will not believe he means it any more than I believed the rare comments from Obama that were anywhere short of virulently anti-American. Cruz may portray himself as moderate to get elected, but his priorities will be governing conservatively and constitutionally, and he’s got my vote for that reason.
...and S**t can candidtes #1, 3 and 4.
He’s pretty well known frankly.
BUT to your point: Once talk radio and most internet sites (conservative) and say, Breitbart come out in support of Cruz (I think it will happen) - that will take care of itself.
A President Bush would continue the momentum and direction of the Obama Sultanate but Jeb is not yet a Moslem, I think. Perhaps he will convert.
I see Rubio as a strong potential VP candidate more than anything. Young, fairly charismatic, Latino, from a swing state the GOP has narrowly lost a couple of times. It’s way too soon for him to get the top of the ticket, though.
Walker is the guy who can carry the day.
Any Conservative will win the right and lose the left, so that leaves the the middle. A Conservative woman could win the middle, but more for being a woman than a Conservative.
To those who want to blast me for promoting identity politics, I don't like it either, but that's where we are.
IMHO.
Bump!
Come on guys! The best GOP candidate is Mike Pence. Check him out.
Bush because he has the finances and organization.
Walker because he has shown the best ability to govern.
Cruz because he is the best communicator.
I personally favor Cruz even though Walker is more qualified. However, I think the big money and the GOPe will prevail barring any major gaffes from Bush.
Oh no! Not another Bush!
Is this one going to wear a crown now that the family name has been established?
