I think Allen West would make a fine Vp.
At least this thread wasn't attacked by accusing him of being a GOPe.
You never know in these days.
I think West, Cruz, or Trump would make a fine President given that the alternatives are Hillary and Bernie. It is said that "perfection is the enemy of the good".
None of the possible nominees is perfect. We need a nominee who is principled, intelligent, and motivated to use his intelligence to advance the principles we support.
Either Hillary or Bernie will open our immigration to all comers, especially those who come from cultures which specifically reject our Founding principles.
Either Hillary or Bernie will borrow every dollar that lenders will provide to purchase loyalty from voters regardless of the debt burden for the children and grandchildren of those voters.
Either Hillary or Bernie will destroy the U.S. dollar and the U.S. economy, much as the socialists in Venezuela have destroyed their currency and economy.
Either Hillary or Bernie will appoint Justices to the Supreme Court who will repeal Heller and completely negate the Second Amendment followed closely by elimination of the entire Bill of Rights.
The amount of damage done to the U.S. by either Hillary or Bernie dwarfs any problems we might see from any possible GOP nominee.
