My ideal candidate for 2016 would be a conservative governor with a track record of sound policy and achievement and accomplishment. A tangible, solid record. High my list:
1) Scott Walker
2) Mike Pence
3) Bobby Jindal
4) Rick Perry
In no particular order.
My least favorite GOP POTUS candidates....
1) Chris Christie...too RINO
2) Jeb Bush....too GOPe
3) Rand Paul...too libertarian
4) Dr. Carson....too inexperienced.
Now among your least favorites, coupla interesting people.
Doc Carson? Great VP pick, IMNVHO.
Doc Paul? maybe something in an administration.
Krispy Kreme Christie? Fuggedabout Fatso. No doughnut in the country would be safe. I am with you there.
Jeb? Make a great ambassador to Aztlán. ¿Presidente? Yo creo que no.
How about Susana Martinez of New Mexico? Or John Kasich of Ohio?
