Would you mind sharing with us who your ideal Republican is?
You won't get an honest answer.
Ronald Reagan. Calvin Coolidge. George W. Bush on counterterrorism and national security issues. Dick Cheney on all issues. UN Ambassador John Bolton. Dick Armey. Donald Rumsfeld. The types of Presidents and Senators who nominate and confirm judges like Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, John Roberts, and Sam Alito.
Anyone who favors open borders. It helps if they're very conservative on other issues like Sam Brownback is, then it makes it easier to justify the support but it's not necessarily a prerequisite. Just as long as they're in agreement we should do nothing on illegal immigration but capitulate to amnesties and guest worker programs then they're the ideal Republican and not a nasty Buchananite.
