I could hardly agree more with you that Rubio made a very nice showing, mostly I like Rubio except for his pushing ammnesty in the past. I realize I should forget about it but I can't. I look at Ted Cruz and see everything that is good in Rubio plus a lot more understanding of what this country is all about. Cruz understands the constitution protects people and the States from the Federal Government.

So, Cruz is the man in my book.

All that being said, with the exception of Jeb Bush I would not be sickened having to vote for any of them as the Republican Candidate. Jeb Bush is a fake. I was so angered when he tried to do his “apoligize to my wife” stunt last night. I was so relieved when Trump said “No”. I was further repulsed when I found out that Bush, already the tallest on the stage stood on his tip toes for all the group pictures that were taken. Talk about sophomoric.

I live in Kentucky. I voted for Rand Paul as senator, I like him as senator. I wish we had two of him instead of him and McConnell but Paul would not be one of my first choices for president. I did however like his answer to the drugs question. Millions of drug users are in prison but Jeb Bush is running for president, perhaps he didn't inhale but just like I thought it should disqualify Clinton I think it should disqualify Bush. I am not a black activist, I'm not even black but I do think that rich kids don't go to prison for the same things that poor kids do especially poor black kids. There are a lot of reasons for that but it still doesn't make it good. About 3/4’s of our prison population is there because of drugs, we gotta change that. I doubt that anybody in the media will pick it up but I think it is possible that Paul took away hundreds of thousands of votes from Bush because of his talking about the inequality of the drug laws and how Bush took advantage of it. Certainly every black person ever involded with drugs in any way heard that. So, I think Rand Paul stuck a fork in Bush and I thank him for it.

I thought Huckabee sounded really good, unfortunately I know too much about his past to ever “want” to vote for him. Christi was OK but although Fiorina had some good lines they would have been much better in print, she is a sour, dour puss. She did however probably have the best line in the debate last night when she talked about Planned Parenthood and the videos that expose them. She sounded truly emotional, angered and saddened at the same time, just like most of us.

Same goes for Kasish as far as having a few good lines, some pretty bad though, but what a sour, dour puss.

Carson, he ran a department in a hospital. There is nothing wrong with Carson, a great guy but I would much rather see him at Health & Human Services. I could be a lot more excited about him if he expressed his understanding of the Constitution but alas he doesn't do that. Experience is great but it is worthless without a conservative understanding of the Federal Constitution and having a desire to defend it.

I used to be “stuck on Walker”, I thought he was the man. He did not impress me last night. It is a shame because he has done really wonderful things. Rick Perry was kind of the same way in the last election, he had a great track record but did poorly in the debates and couldn't stay in. He learned early on this time and wisely got out. I expect that if Walker shows poorly in NH and IA that he too will fade away.

Cruz really doesn't have any experience running things of any importance but he surely has the constitution down pat.
If I have to vote for Trump I will but oh how I hope I get to pull the lever in the general for Cruz!
