Cruz is by far the best, most brilliant, social and constitutional conservative in the field. My concerns with him, though, are these: Electability: Is he too good and too conservative for the stupid American public? Burning bridges: His "Washington cartel" red-meat speech plays well to the conservative crowd, but is he alienating Republicans whom he will need to rally behind him in the election? That said, Cruz is the one I support.

Trump is a shallow showman with no evident grasp of the Constitution, a boorish bloviating blowhard, a poll-obsessed narcissist, a reality-show entertainer, a crony capitalist who has admitted to trying to buy off politicians, a gambling-casino billionaire, and a longtime liberal on social, moral, and political issues. I do not trust him for a New York minute.

Rubio has some good points, but he needs to clarify his views on what to do with illegal immigrants who are here in this country. Until that happens, I am not ready to support him.

Dr. Carson I call "Human Anesthesia." A nice, smart, soft-spoken black guy that white Republicans can feel good about liking. The Three Amateurs, Trump, Carson, and Fiorina, are in over their heads. The presidency is not an entry-level position.

Huckabee and Jindal have some good points, strong on social issues, but seem to have little to no electability.

Bush. Meh. Not happening.

The rest are mired down in Patakistan.

So what is it about him that you don't like?
