“Senators have won election to the presidency, of course. But of all the senators who have ever run for POTUS, none has defeated a sitting president... So why do we consider senators...for the nomination?
*******************************************************************
You DO realize of course that in the 2016 campaign there will NOT be a sitting president running. So you can safely UNDELETE Ted Cruz and add him back to the list.
Safely - provided of course that the Democrats dont nominate a governor.I AGREE that we need someone who is a gut conservative who is, as Sowell put it, a TALKING Republican. Its just that we also need someone who the public can trust to execute the law (provided of course that said law is constitutional).
