Or maybe support the top non-RINO from SC?

I don’t see myself caring to vote for many of them besides a Cruz or Palin

I agree with the one who said above that conservatives need to use the first conservative state as their decision point. Whichever conservative wins South Carolina, all others are dropped and we get behind that one candidate.

Otherwise, we allow the gop-e again to divide and conquer. I would like to see conservatives candidates agree to that and to drop out and to endorse themselves the S Carolina winner.

Wish these polls were reflected all over. I think Ben Carson would make a great running mate for Ted Cruz.

***************

Last week Dr Ben Carson came in second to Cruz in the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans.

Cruz 30.33%.
Carson 29.38%
Paul 10.43%.

Got it. Thanks, sacajaweau. You’re saying one of them can’t be the presidential candidate and the other be the vice presidential.

Actually they can be. The problem is that Texas electors wouldn't be able to vote for both of them... well, unless one of them makes a quick move out of Texas like Cheney did.

If the Dems keep control of the Senate, it could result in a strange case of a Republican president and a Democratic VP because without a majority the Senate would vote for the VP from the top two choices.

Sessions, from my state of AL, is our former attorney general. I would like to see him appointed Atty. Gen. as he knows and adheres to the Constitution and laws of the land. He also brought with him a very savvy staff.

He and his staff almost singlehandedly stopped the last amnesty push by getting on the floor and in front of a tv camera every chance and pointing out all the places in the document that great claims by the Dems and other proponents of the measure proposed some waiting period or fine and then, a few paragraphs down, made an escape clause. It gave away the farm, as Jebbie is likely to do.

NO MORE SHRUBS!

This must be another sign that Cruz is just part of the fringe/minority like the GOPe and the Democrats keep telling us.
