Governor from S.C. Nikki Haley?

Nikki Haley's fidelity to Tea-Party principles was shown to be only surface deep when she early on endorsed Mitt Romney in the last Presidential Primary Process.

I wouldn't want her anywhere near the Presidency because you cannot trust her further than you can throw her.

I’d prefer Christy to Haley. Yes, that is sexist. So be it.

In any event.

Honestly, I don’t think Cruz will play the electoral / balancing / senator - governor games. I think he will do what is Right and right for the country.

I think he will go with a strong, capable conservative. Perhaps Lee. Perhaps Walker...though Walker has about half the intellect of Lee. Backbone yes. Perhaps someone else.

I think also that Cruz will recognize, as we do, that Reagan’s choice of Bush caused the movement to stall and stop.

I don’t actually fault Reagan, really. He made a judgment call and I can see why he chose Bush back then. But had he put on a treu conservative, he still would have won. We only know that in retrospect. Reagan thought it was necessary.

I think Cruz will learn from that.

I still don’t know if he can win nationwide. It will be pure media demagoguery 24/7, and that sways a lot of voters.

But at least we won’t be compromising on the message!!!!
