They don't need to be attacking each other this early in the race.

I agree 100%. At this point we need the candidates to talk about their vision and their accomplishments. Tell us what positives they bring to the table. Let each candidate give their presentation.

They are all super competitive or they would be in the race, but an attitude of: "If I don't win, I'm taking everybody down with me" does not make a good leader.

So we know that Walker will be for trade promotion authority. I thought we were against that fast track thing.

I don't know what Walker's position is on the Fast Track, or on national trade in general.

I'm just pointing out that as Governor, he met with foreign officials promoting Wisconsin products and trade with those nations.

Rubio, as Senator, sat on his ass bloviating.

Rubio's argument is a red herring.

OK, I forgot Bobby Jindal who is one of the most impressive GOP major office holders. I don’t think he will run yet. Senator Vitter is going to run for governor. They may swap jobs. Also no one is better qualified than Jindal for the job at HHS of wiping out Obozocare. Before he became governor of Louisiana, he cleaned up the corrupt mess (decades old) of Louisiana health care. He was fresh out of college when he did it. Formerly Hindu ad now Catholic. Jindal reacted to Obozo’s prayer breakfast call for Christians to get off their high horse and accept blame for the Inquisition and the Crusades (both Catholic events) by saying something to the effect that he wanted to report to the President that Louisiana had complete control over wild-eyed Catholics roaming the land seeking victims to torture and kill. Then he said: “How are ya doin’ on the Middle East, Mr. President?” Jindal got a bad rap on a nationally televised response to a State of the Union Address when he was inexplicably not on top of his game. Make no mistake. Jindal is very smart and articulate and sometimes quite humorous and his day may well come when the public nationally is more familiar with him.

Jindal is not telegenic. The media, especially SNL, will kill him over his ethnicity and looks.

I’m completely against Rubio. His Gang activity scheming with Scumer against the citizens was enough for me.

He can easily campaign to the Hispanic vote in Spanish


Problem is he says something different when speaking in Spanish than he does when speaking English. He’s a duplicitous hack who schemed with Schumer against the citizens.
He should have tried to keep his Senate seat.

Your remarks are the top of the mark! What can be added?

I believe Cruz speaks for me, so far, by every jot and tittle, but he has been in a career box different from Governor Walker, who from a position of power as governor, was able to carry a big stick and to commandeer action. He actually performed near miracles and did so with drama and flair, in Wisconsin, of all places! Now, that is a tough act to follow.

Cruz has rhetorically faced off against the lions of the Establishment, just as Walker faced off against the union, the Marxist lobby and the Democrat machine, but Cruz was not able to effect that kind of sweeping success and needed change, as a senator confined to the senate.

The rest of the candidates are laudible and decent, including Rubio, whose energy is absolutely catching, is a movement type of speaker never to be discounted during an era of certain and sure generational change that is coming.

You are spot on, as usual.

He has foreign policy experience because he has been abroad promoting cheese?
