My #1 is DeMint. My #2 is Christie.
After that, I thin Mitch and Haley would be good choices...Jindal not so much,
And unlike most here, I really like Newt.

Um, Christie supports gun control (semi-auto ban)
Try again...
Realistically, Palin is our only hope for a conservative nominee.
The elites want Romney, and they usually get who they want. (See: Nixon, Ford, Dole, Bush, McCain)
Only twice in history have the conservative grass roots of the party been able to overcome the wishes of the establishment to garner the nomination, 1964 with Goldwater, and 1980 with Reagan.
Both were derided as crazy, dumb, unelectable, and were the preferred candidates by the democrats, who thought they would be easy to beat.
Real conservatives are ALWAYS portrayed as dunces...it is a false smear, Palin is pretty damn savvy, as was Reagan, BTW.
Don’t be swayed by the mainstream narrative about Palin.
If we, as conservatives, split our vote among three or four conservative candidates, that will leave the ‘moderates’ an easy run to the nomination (as happened in 2008)
I’ve read many a post on here complaining about the Republican party nominating RINO’s like McCain, some even saying if they do it again they will leave the party....what they fail to understand is, conservatives (us) not coming together and getting behind a winning candidate is what allows these RINO’s in.
DeMint is awesome. But, I doubd he can get far.
Christie is unlikely to run.
Newt is a brilliant man and a policy wonk. As a person, I don’t like him. And, I think he is a polarizing figure.
