Ok, so the doctor is not a constitutional scholar. But I like his stance on most issues. Also like his courage to tell Obama on his face what is wrong with Obamacare.

I agree with you 100% on those points.

So which constitutional scholar are you supporting in 2016?

The one who had memorized the US Constitution in High School - Ted Cruz:

3. His education in conservatism came early on. His teacher from an after-school education program picked him to be part of a traveling show about the Constitution. From The Weekly Standard:

Story chose four or five of his best students, led by Cruz, to join a traveling troupe called the Constitutional Corroborators. He hired a mnemonic specialist to teach them how to memorize the text of the Constitution up through the Bill of Rights. (Who wants to memorize the Eleventh Amendment?) Armed with an easel and felt pens, with Mrs. Moore or another parent at the wheel, the corroborators drove throughout Texas and occasionally beyond to breakfasts, lunches, or dinners held by the Rotary Club or Kiwanis or the VFW or any other civic group with an open slot for speakers. While the audience sawed away at the Chicken a la King, the corroborators wrote out various articles of the Constitution word for word. When the meal was over they’d take questions.

“The people just loved them,” Mrs. Moore says. “They knew so much, people couldn’t believe it! And you had to be a very polished speaker. Ted really worked at it. He’d practice at home in front of the mirror to get everything just right.”

I am supporting Cruz in 2016. He would be a great president.
I also like Governor Walker and senator Paul in 2016.

In the end it will boil down to who has the widest support in general election. I am not sure if Cruz is polling well among independents. 20% of voters call themselves independents. The nominee will need more than half of those voters to win in general.
