Posted on 11/04/2015 1:50:21 PM PST by YankeeinOkieville

Curiosity type question:

Of the contenders left in the race for the Republican nomination, who's your top 5? Some of us have a number one already set in stone but if s/he's not the one selected by the country, which other (wo)men would you like to see or be alright with voting for in the general?

Feel free to give your reasons or not, as you wish. Please don't bash others for their response, this thread is not meant to be an argument starter.

TRUMP

...and the reason is that the others don’t matter!

If Trump wins nomination he will win the presidency, hands down. He will win in a landslide like Reagan with many democrats crossing over. There is already poll data to prove this.

If Cruz or Carson wins nomination, the GOP will sabotage them and support Hillary, and she will win, hands down. Cruz might have a chance to win because many of us love him but never underestimate what the GOP will do!

If Rubio or one of the other RINOs win primary, GOP will support them but they will absolutely lose to Hillary. Period!

Roger that. Trump is the only person that can capture the middle, and so defeat Hillary. Everyone else would end up as Goldwater or McCain did.

Trump/Cruz 2016
Trump/West 2016

(take your pick)

1) Cruz
2) Trump
3) Jindal
4) Sanders
5) Clinton

I would rather have 4) and 5) for four years and the chance of having someone better in four years that the best case scenario being eight years of any of the other Republicans.

Warts and all, he’s the only one talking about a wall. Not Cruz, not Carson, not anybody else. And at this point if we don’t have a wall, we don’t have a country. And if we don’t have a country, the other stuff doesn’t really matter, does it?

You way underestimate the considerable power of the MSM....if Trump were to win the nomination, he'd be skewered into oblivion by this time next year.

Don't foget, the boy carries a ton of baggage -- plenty of material for the digital exams the media would perform.
