Just to reiterate, I wasn’t targeting you with my rant. I do like Donald Trump. I like the fact that he’s not PC, and that he won’t take the media’s crap. I’m not so fond of the fact that he wouldn’t stand with Kim Davis. If a candidate is going to stand for the constitution, then they need to stand for all of it. Not just the Freedom of Speech, or the Freedom of the Press, but also the Freedom of religion. Unfortunately, as our nation becomes more secular, the Freedom of religion will be under attack more, and more.
That is the reason that Ted Cruz is my vote in the primary. But as stated before, I could happily vote for Donald Trump as long as our Constitutional right to Freedom of Religion is protected. Because I’m tired of militant homosexuals attacking Christian businesses. Anyway, I hope I didn’t come down too hard on you, or Trump supporters. Trump/Cruz or Cruz/Trump 2016.

Oh I knew that, and I appreciate your original post.

I wasn't happy with his position regarding Kim Davis either.

Truth be told, by the time my state primary comes around (May 2016, early voting on April 27 here in West Virginia), if Trump is still leading the pack, my vote will go to Ted Cruz just to try and keep him competitive.

I happened to visit a website listing all of the Republican candidates and while it is astounding to realize just how MANY candidates there are (many of which have not a prayer) it is more curious to view the so-called 'descriptions' which were assigned to them by whoever wrote them up:

Skip Andrews

George Bailey

Michael Bickelmeyer

Kerry Bowers

Jeb Bush

Ben Carson

Eric Cavanagh

Dale Christensen

Chris Christie

Ted Cruz

Brooks Cullison

John Dummett, Jr.

Jack Fellure

Carly Fiorina

Jim Gilmore

Lindsey Graham

Jim Hayden

Chris Hill

Mike Huckabee

John Kasich

Valma Kittington

Bartholomew James Lower

Andy Martin

James C. Mitchell, Jr.

K. Ross Newland

Esteban Oliverez

George Pataki

Rand Paul

Michael Petyo

Marco Rubio

Brian Russell

Rick Santorum

Jefferson Sherman

Donald Trump

For example, consider the description of Trump:

"A wealthy business tycoon and well-known American personality, Donald Trump brings a dour attitude that never fails to entertain. He has channeled his notoriety into a number of outlets, now including a 2016 presidential run."

And Ted Cruz:

"The Harvard and Princeton-educated attorney once served as the Domestic Policy Advisor to former president George W. Bush. Noted for his formidable oratory skill, Senator Cruz is viewed by some as one of the intellectual leaders of the tea party movement."

Curiously, even Jeb Bush doesn't get a glowing description:

"Florida's only Republican two-term Governor, Jeb Bush is a heavyweight political contender who comes from a family of presidents. His left-leaning ideologies make him too liberal for the taste of some in his party, however, and his lineage could be hindrance rather than help."

And sounds like some 'bro-love' going on with Christie:

"Chris Christie tells it like it is and doesn't care whom he offends, even when he gets in trouble for being nice. More than a few people on all sides have surely used his portrait as a dartboard, but he's earned a lot of respect for his fearless tongue, and Republicans appreciate his conservative ideology."

The website is apparently NOT affiliated with the GOP, as the registration data is 'private' behind some service in Oregon, but it makes for some interesting reading:
