On Sean Hannity's Wednesday radio show conservative commentator and “Mugged” author Ann Coulter laid out what she viewed to be the proper criteria for the Republican Party’s 2016 presidential hopefuls.
She ruled out rising-star Texas Sen. Ted Cruz as a potential candidate unless the United States were to absorb Canada’s three most western provinces due to eligibility questions stemming from the fact that Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta. Beyond that, Coulter also wants the next GOP presidential candidate to live up to certain gender and appearance standards.
“Look — the general principles on choosing our next president, and like I say we’ll throw them all in debates and see how they perform because that’s an important — that’s important how they appear,” Coulter said. “Got to be a governor — maybe a senator, but definitely governor or senator. No members of the House. Even the governors — they’re much better if they come from bigger states and preferably purple to blue states. [They] cannot be freakishly short or freakishly funny-looking. And I would say three years from now, and only I can say this — I think no women right now. We can’t do anything fancy. America has not had a woman president yet.”(continued)

First Christie Kreme, then Romney. We’re not accepting endorsements from you now, Ann.
Since you didn’t address the point I made I will try again. Coulter is being blamed for Romney, but the people blaming her did not and do not have a candidate who could have done any better. I made the same point regarding Rove and Romney.
As to your latest point, Rove supported Cruz as well as Paul, Rubio and sveral other TeaParty candidates. I really don’t know where you come up with that 87% figure but it really doesn’t matter because that is not what I was addressing in the first place.
Coulter was in the tank for Romney from the beginning. She has destroyed her credibility with me and many others as has Rove.
Rove was not a supporter of Cruz from the beginning. He only got in line after he saw that Dewhurst wasn’t going to win the run-off. Trust me, I was with Cruz from the beginning and paid real close attention to who was with us and who wasn’t.
The 87% failure rate is well known and widely published....which Rove is still denying, I might add.
As I stated previously, it doesn’t matter who I would have preferred. The bottom line is the Establishment Elites rammed another loser down our throats and now we are dealing with that reality.

Just who should Coulter have been in the tank for?
Frankly, at this juncture, I don’t give a damn.
