Either of these two conservatives (or both on the same ticket) would get my vote.

But as I've gotten older, more cynical, and seasoned to the ways of the world outside my own head and heart, I have come to realize that who we are going to have foisted on us for our candidate, is not the Palins or Cruzes who we want, but the candidates the big money is behind. The people whose names average folks don't recognize. The people with the power that you and I don't have and can't imagine. We get who they want, not who we want. Right or wrong, that's the way the world has always turned. The rich and powerful are the ones with the say. The rest of us are just along for the ride.

This is why we get the McConnells and the Boehners who don't do what the people in their party want. They are reporting to and answering to people more powerful than us. All the voters can do is to rearrange the chairs on the deck.
