This pic from the Kingwoood TX tea party/Cruz event irritated the media.

Randy Paul, not so much.
I initially regarded Dr Ben as the man. My thoughts switched to Gov Walker because of his fantastic record. I have shifted back to Dr Ben because he has succeeded where the Oov has not.
I expect I’m wishy washy
Fiorina will only advance in popularity is the media and GOpe/RNC push for it while suppressing the negatives about her. And there are plenty of unacceptable negatives.
Frankly, she should do the honorable thing and call it quits before it gets embarrassing. She was out of her league with HP. How can she handle the White House?
Cruz is the one with the most solid base and he appears to have the machinery in place.
Carly Fiorina is flat out moronic.

Wishy-washy? No. It’s out it’s 2015. For many, it’s way too early to settle on one candidate.
If we could have a real debate, instead of that sorry spectacle put on by Fox, we voters might actually learn enough about each candidate to make an informed decision. For most candidates we have yet to learn their positions on such matters as foreign policy. Will they uphold the sham Iran agreement which seems certain to pass? How would they deal with China, Russia and our enemies in the Middle East? How will these candidates restore our relationship with Israel and the rest of this country’s former friends?
Many legitimate questions for each candidate. Let’s hope we voters can learn the answers before fully committing to a candidate.
Carson is pro-amnesty.
He does seem to have a long game, and he is playing the Trump wrecking ball correctly (i.e. stand aside it and let it swing, not in directly in it's path like jebtard! keeps doing) Ted's grassroots moneyraising prove it.
Of the three Ted Cruz is the only one who should be considered for the presidency. The other two are dilettantes who have no business being in the discussion.
We could have another ice age. Spin, spin, spin crap from the RINO establishment and left wing liberals.
I anticipate a great culling after the next debate.
Several are already experiencing a lack of donors due to their low ratings in many polls. If they cannot show significant advancement due to the debate, the donors will be moving on.
There are a few low-budget campaigners who will be able to struggle on for a while — maybe even to early March. But, unless they show significant vote-getting, they can only hang on so long.

Trump still is the daily headline maker. Even on FR, he is in the headline of about every 2 out of 5 threads.
Bush seems to be one of the bigger losers. He just is not gaining traction. Both he and Rubio are currently losing to Trump in Florida. His donors are getting shakey. He has had to cut expenses.
Walker, who was sailing high a couple of months ago, has sunk into the lowly 0%-1%-2%-ers. What happened to him that caused his fall? Did he wait too long to officially announce?
After the next debate, many of the also-rans will have finished their auditions for positions in the next GOP administration. The bigger question will be: who will they declare their support for?
Speaking of pols and auditions, Sarah Palin on CNN just said she would like to be in charge of the Energy Dept in a new administration.

Surprisingly, Tapper gave her a long segment to express her views. He did not interrupt her and allowed her to give full responses to his questions.

CNN State of the Union
Kasich jumps to #2 in NH, Bush tumbles.
Panelist concludes that Kasich is the alternative to Bush because Kasich appeals to Independents.
I suspect your brain still works, is not locked in. Nothing wrong with anyone changing his mind.
My would vote for has gotten shorter and shorter. Cruz is tops. I would vote for Trump and Jindall if nominee. Crossed Carly off for doing secret trades with Iran while with HP.
A lot can happen before voting starts.
Yep Kasich is the epitome of the “mushy middle.”
