Unacceptable: Christie, Bush, Rubio, Romney.
Acceptable to great: Paul, Cruz, Jindal.
I would love to see conservatives unite behind a great conservative and sit back to watch the RINOs split their votes in the primaries. Governor Palin would make a fabulous president, but I don’t think she’s running, and I won’t wait to find out. I hope FR will unite behind Cruz (or speak up and convince people of your choice before too many conservatives get into the race) and push him into the race officially. He is a true conservative, and he can win. Demanding perfection risks getting stuck with Christie or some other big government enemy of freedom.
“Acceptable to great: Paul, Cruz, Jindal.”
I like Jindal, and I think being Indian-American is an asset. But he does come off as a bit of a wuss sometimes. It’s just that he’s so darned skinny and doesn’t fill the room. I wish he commanded more physical presence. People vote for that, whether they know it or not.
Paul is a Foreign Policy Libertarian, in my opinion. He is unwilling to defend America where I want to do so. He is unafraid, and I like most of his positions. But Libertarian is a different flavor than Conservative, and I require a red-blooded Foreign Policy Conservative. That’s just me. I understand others may reasonably disagree.
I can live with all three. But my money is on Cruz as The One who can unite all the flavors of Conservatives early, avoid the bloodbath the GOPe has planned for us, and win the General Election.
I’M WITH CRUZ!
