If you had to vote in your state primary/caucus today, knowing what you know now about the various declared and probable candidates, who would you vote for? Why? Who would you like to see as the running mate for your preferred candidate? If you could help staff your candidates cabinet and other top appointments, who would you choose? If you could recommend different congressional leaders than we have now, who would they be? And who would you like to see on the Supreme Court and why? And finally, feel free to donate to Free Republic.
Cruz
Trump.
If for no other reason than it would really piss off the establishment pols.
I am still betting Hillary is not the candidate, and that Webb will emerge this week as a “moderate” Dem.
Cruz. Who he chooses as a VP is up to him. I see no one else worth voting for when all issues are considered.
Cruz!
Ted Cruz. Why? He is a true social and constitutional conservative.
Cruz
Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz!
Trump.
The only one who says DEPORT and then reapply, and also the only one who is not OWNED by the Cheap Labor Express.
Yeah, that includes Cruz, sorry.
Cruz.
Sen Cruz

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

TRUMP. And no other.
I’m with Trump. I have a lot of respect for Cruz, but I don’t trust him. It’s easy to be a “solid conservative” when you represent a solidly conservative state as a Senator. Yeah, others have been far squishier from far more conservative places, but still. Then his wife a big Goldman Sachs person and they’re the worst. Sure, that’s not him, that’s his wife, but you can only go so far and still lay your head there at night.
But Trump has the skills to broadcast his message over the media’s heads, he knows his targets, he has his finger on the pulse of the “man in the street”, he’s been willing to take the hits for violating political correctness and double down.
I don’t have a good VP candidate in mind. I would think he needs someone with unparalleled foreign policy chops, but someone not tarred with all of the mistakes Bush made. An America first realist. Don’t know who that might be.
Cruz.
Trump, kind of holding my nose, but not as much as I would have to for every other candidate.
I can assure you I WILL NEVER EVER VOTE FOR JEB BUSH. Not under any circumstances. Your chances of forcibly converting me to islam are higher, and I’ll die before that happens. Is that clear enough?
Cruz
I think we grok what you’re saying.
Another Cruz-er here!
