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.
LOL! Yes, the ability to think on your feet is indispensable. Possibly lifelong mental damage from his days as a Democrat.
The herpes child vaccine mandate that he made, and was repudiated, is still a bad taste in my mouth as far as Perry is concerned. That, and his backing down from the sodomites on his comparison with alcoholism last year.
Agree to all you said. Seems to me Perry is weak on immigration being a high illegal immigration state.
