Indeed. But of course, I’m behind Cruz! Thank you for your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
I am not a party voter. I am not an issues voter. I am a character voter. And my sense of Cruz is that he definitely measures up.
However, I also like Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, and Ben Carson. I think they measure up, too. Of these four men (I'm including Cruz here), only one has executive experience (Gov. Walker); two are freshman senators (like the last time ouch!!!); and one has never held public office of any kind (Dr. Carson).
It's too early to see how this all turns out there are just so many candidates. (Certain of whom I wish would just "go away" e.g., Jeb Bush, Mike Huckabee, Donald Trump. That's not to say I'm not a great admirer of Gov. Huckabee. I am.)
I have mixed feelings about Rand Paul, but could vote for him if he wins the nomination. I really like Carly Fiorina, and hope she runs. I don't think she can be elected president, but might be a fine choice for Veep. Where I think she can be particularly valuable is on the debate circuit. As a woman, she can speak of HRC in frank terms and get away with it in a way that no man can.
It'll be interesting!!! Get out the popcorn....
