CRUZ or LOSE!

LINDSEY GRAHAM DEAD LAST IN PRESIDENTIAL SURVEY.
We’ve never had much use for conservative commentator Glenn Beck, but lots of people swear by his opinion … and he frequently opines on presidential politics.
Like his recently released presidential preference poll – in which his readers graded twenty-eight prospective “Republican” candidates on a scale from “100” (a.k.a. “the best score possible”) all the way down to “55,” which is the equivalent of “all F votes.”
The winner? Well it sure as hell wasn’t U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham – whose warmongering flirtation with the White House earned a dismal response from Beck’s audience. In fact Graham finished dead last among the twenty-eight names on Beck’s list – with an average scored of 60.33.
Yikes …
Faring much better? S.C. governor Nikki Haley – who got a 78.19 average score (good for a C-). Haley ranked tenth on Beck’s list, which we’re guessing didn’t include a category for … you know what, never mind.
So … who “made the grade” according to Beck’s faithful? Only two candidates – Wisconsin governor Scott Walker and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz.
Take a look …
28. Lindsey Graham 60.33 D-
27. Jeb Bush 61.94 D-
26. Chris Christie 62.96 D-
25. Jon Huntsman 67.47 D
24. Mike Huckabee 68.26 D+
23. Donald Trump 68.33 D+

Interesting …
We like what we’ve seen of Cruz and Walker so far – and of Jindal. And we’re inclined to give Paul every opportunity to impress us as well. As for the rest of that list? Eh … pretty weak. In fact the deeper you go, the weaker it gets …
Of course let’s face it … looking for a national savior within the “Republican” party is like looking for a virgin in a whorehouse. You can look, but …

@fitsnews Walker for the win. At least so far he's the best of the worst

Cannot believe Santorum placed so high, or that he beat out John Bolton. Bolton should at least be Secretary of Defense, if not Secretary of State.
The media and democrats will do everything in their power to make sure Jeb is the candidate. ESPECIALLY the democrats. They know that the illegal immigrant vote will go for democrats in perpetuity Democrats win everything. There’s a reason they’re shipping the yutes in to every neighborhood in the country. Jeb is 100% for amnesty.
CRUZ or LOSE!
Same way Walker is going to ‘win’ CPAC on the 26th, while getting half - AGAIN - of Cruz’ ovation and excitement.
Rush and Drudge and God knows who else will pimp Walker even MORE this go-around.
What the left is absolutely dreading is Cruz speaking with and standing with Netanyahu. That will seal in American’s mind who really is about protecting them from the Islamic Threat.
Surprised they have not pushed the nut Paul yet like they have before.
I don’t listen to Beck anymore but damn this list is pretty much spot on.
Encouraging......even by Beck : )
You know why all these anti-Netenyahu statements are coming out today? He’s going to prove that Zero has destroyed or destabilized every Middle East government that might have turned back the rise of ISIS.
And Ted Cruz will be standing right with him.
Beck has become a pure promoter. He tries setting up a business a week, then makes goofy statements that run counter to conservative principles. He lost me long ago. No longer trust him.
I’ll take any configuration of the the top 4. But, face it, the MSM will start the mud slinging as soon as they feel they might just get too popular.
LOL Looking forward to this!
What ever happened to that Bill O’Reilly poll?
Was it ever published?
Ted & Bibi Cruz to victory!
You know it! Americans *want* ISIS stopped and zero is doing everything he can to ignore that mandate.
All the Democrats are revulsed and boycotting his visit. Why they’re willing to wholesale defend themselves as anti-national security once again, is beyond me.
DemocRat RINO Paul, dumber than Patty Murray, Ryan is 11th?
27. Jeb Bush 61.94 D-
Best news I’ve heard today...
The Left (read democrats) have become deeply anti Semitic/Israel. They know that blacks & Jews will vote for them regardless. Pretty damn sad, especially with the American Jews.
” anti-national security “
Obama and the Dems are trying very hard to give Iran the Nuke.
Down there with Bush and Christy. Absolutely at the end of the list. Right where he belongs.
Uber RINO Lindsey Ping
"Republican by day, Democrat by night."
Want on or off this ping list?
