They all sound great.
Let’s run all ten in the primaries against the one establishment candidate that the GOPe picks.
Sounds like a great idea.

As long as Cruz runs as independent/3rd party, I’m in. Won’t be voting R at all in 2016. They’ve proven they’re nothing more than Obola stooges who don’t give a rip about Conservatives.

I’d like to see Dr Carson as a VP.

I don’t think a Cruz nomination by the GOP is out of the question- I’m aware of the negatives, but I love him and he’s got a lot of support out there

Not enough RINO’s.

Need more Jebs, Hucks, Christies, and of course Mitt.

Seriously. I’ve debated many times with many FReepers who claim the only way we can get a true conservative elected is to crowd him in with a field of RINO’s.

Their speculation is that the RINO’s will defeat each other leaving Ted on top.

I’ve never bought into that nonsense, but its out there.

I would put her under Cruz and rubio. Republicans would be smart to run an all Hispanic ticket.

He’s great! But I refuse to vote for the GOP. Traitors is what they are, and Cruz, if he the liberty minded freedom loving Conservative candidate we all believe he is, will see that and get as far away from the GOP as possible. Anybody still voting GOP at this point needs to check their patriotism at the door.

Won’t be voting R at all in 2016.


So if Cruz is the nominee you won’t vote for him?

Carson has made some really non-conservative statements, so he is dead to me, as is Rand.

I will find any choice a bit difficult if Cruz isn’t in the mix

You know who else is a serious dark horse right now (Not on anyone’s radar) but could come out strong later this year and be a solid bet?

Senator Jim DeMint.

1- Ted Cruz - my top choice among likely candidates. He’s the real thing.
2- Allen West - not ready for the big leagues.
3- Ben Carson - not a good all-around candidate. He does not understand the Second Amendment, and that is a deal-breaker.
4- Rick Perry - there are three reasons I’m not a fan. Commerce, Education, and I’ve forgotten the third one.
5- Marco Rubio - pro-Amnesty. He’s dead to me. I’ll write in a third party rather than vote for an Amnesty supporter.
6- Mike Pence - maybe. Let’s see how he does in the campaign.
7- Michele Bachmann - maybe. Let’s see how she does in this campaign.
8- Scott Walker - maybe. Let’s see how he does in the campaign.
9- Bobby Jindal - maybe. Let’s see how he does in the campaign.
10- Rand Paul (if I have to) - maybe. Let’s see how he does in the campaign and just how different he is from his nutty father.

What say you?

I'll agree on three - Cruz, Pence, Walker in that order. Perry if a natural disaster takes out the first three. No to Carson, West, Rubio, Bachmann, and Jindal.

I don’t want a kinda-sorta eligible candidate for POTUS, and as much as I LOVE Ted Cruz (voted for him 3 times), I don’t think he’s eligible as a natural born citizen as required. I’d rather he be Senate Majority leader, where he would be extraordinarily effective.

I know, and my flame suit is on.
