Top conservative: 2016 not Ted Cruz's turn, favors Mike Pence-Rand Paul ticket (Guess who?)

Actually, it's Sarah Palin or Paul Ryan's "turn" based on tradition, Dick.

[BarnacleCenturion]

I could go with Pence\Rand but Rand would probably crush Pence in the primary before that ever came to pass.

I am a huge Mike Pence fan and could definitely get behind him. That said, calling Cruz a Washington insider is a little silly. Pence was in Washington for a number of years before returning to Indiana. Cruz was Texas’s Solicitor General and has spent a career taking on Washington.

I’d vote for either one.

[Rich21IE]

My guess is that if Hilary wins..........none of it really matters.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Just one glance at a picture of Pence tells me he couldn’t win.

I can always tell a winner at a glance.

[SADMILLIE]

I just don’t want a bush or fat boy, or loser romney. But any conservative is fine with me.

[Mygirlsmom]

Yes, we certainly wouldn't want a first-term rookie Senator to skip to the head of the line.

Oh.....wait.

Remember, if patriots forced the federal government to work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, then probably nobody would want to be president anyway. That’s partly why the Founding States established the electoral college to elect president.

In other words, the only reason that corrupt politicians try to get themselves elected to the Oval Office or Congress is to follow the tsunami of illegal federal taxes to DC, taxes which Congress cannot justify under its Secton 8-limited powers. Such politicians get themselves elected by exploiting low-information voters who do not understand that much of the promises that federal politicians make to get themselves elected are constitutionally indefensible.

“Assuming the Democrat ‘product' is going to be Hillary Clinton this time

Didn't everyone assume Hitlary was going to be the candidate in 2008. You know what happens when you assume?

[Pilated]

can’t won’t vote for any Paul and can’t won’t vote for any Bush

[elhombrelibre]

Cruz.

[Mr. K]

Palin/Cruz, for 16 years of conservative bliss

[chris37]

Ted Cruz or bust, stupid ass GOP.

Choose wisely.

[Vinnie]

I’d like to take a closer look at Scott Walker.

[stilloftyhenight]

I will not support Rand Paul. He is proving himself to be a go along to get along liberal. He arrogantly talks down to social conservatives. No thanks.

[Fledermaus]

Mike Pence is a closet lib.

[longfellow]

CRUZ/WEST

[BigEdLB]

I like the idea alot, but it is a very longgggggggg shot

[alstewartfan]

What is this bilge about it being someone’s “turn”? WE need a man like Ted Cruz now! How did Dole’s, McCain’s and Romney’s “turns” work out? Bob

[longfellow]

We have 2 years. I say we can do this.
