Once again, we may see the uninformed Republican primary voters demanding a third Bush.
Actually, I’m voting for Ted Cruz .. I sure hope he’s running .. otherwise I’ll have to write in his name.
We need new. fresh outlook in the next election It is not Jeb Bush. Nor do I think it is Rand Paul, although some of the things he says are good. Ted Cruz says all the right things, but he has been badly damaged by the media - is it possible for him to overcome this and ‘talk over’ the MSM and directly to the people?
Marco Rubio is a possibility.
However, I do think a governor is the best choice so we ought to be looking at several people and challenging them to come forth with ideas and, to let us see whether they are good enough at the back and forth rhetoric that will be the center of any Presidential campaign.
John Kasich might fit the bill. Mike Pence seems too tepid to me. Bobby Jindal is also a possibility. Both John and Bobby have good governor credentials as well as speaking abilities. We need to stay away from anyone from the northeast corridor, IMHO.
Then there is Scott Walker, who I deeply admire. But, is he ready for the BIG stage? He does not seem to have a fire in his belly for Washington politics, and is not a great speaker.
We still have time for others to come forth. Paul Ryan Susanna Martinez? Nikki Haley? Rick Perry?
One ting is clear to me - we Conservatives must NOT ALLOW OURTSELVES TO BE DIVIDED - not by the MSM, not by the Democrats (a bit redundant), and not by our own desires for the ‘perfect’ candidate. We need a statesman (or stateswoman), who will put the needs of the American people first, including our national security. UNITED WE CAN CAPTURE THE WHITE HOUSE IN 2016.
