U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas got the ball rolling: On March 23, he announced he was running for president and became the first Republican to enter the 2016 presidential race. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky quickly followed suit and became the second Republican to officially declare his candidacy.
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida officially joined the race Monday. They could all face New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in the Republican primary.
Though the governor of the Garden State hasn’t officially declared, Christie has formed a political action committee to explore a run is in New Hampshire for a week full of speeches and tours....

Great Americans all...but the next nominee HAS to be a successful governor ...Scott walker from Wisconsin is right now, the most experienced and viable candidate that we have.
CRUZ!!! Sorry to piss in your Cheerios.
Yeah...why’d they put that Democrat in their poll?
Cruz seems to be well prepared, but the only 2 I would completely trust are Palin and Cain and West. None are running yet.
Ted Cruz 46.59%
Rand Paul 18.79%

Why is that?
Best to never completely trust any politician.
If Christie gets in the White Hut, Taft's old bathtub will have to be reinstalled from some museum with modern plumbing. Taft was as big as Christie.
Thank you for voting!

Because Ted Cruz may pick Sarah Palin as running mate ?
The MSM didn’t finish her political career, she has Ted Cruz to fend off any attacks by the MSM on her...
Besides that was almost 8 years ago, a new generation has risen up and is tired of 8 years of the Obama regime...
Besides also, it will be Ted Cruz’s supporters, and voters who will be voting for Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin, the media doesn’t get to vote for them on election day, we do...
I don’t know why people are so chicken sheit about the media scaring off Sarah Palin jumping into the fray and be ted Cruz’s running mate.
She has matured and well seasoned now.
YUCK FOU MEDIA ! WE AIN’T LETTING YOU COWTOW US IN NOT SUPPORTING SARAH PALIN IF TED CRUZ PICKS HER AS RUNNING MATE.
SARAH IS READY AND WELL ABLE TO BE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES !
SARAH PALIN A HIGHER UP GRADE THAN JOE BIDON

Bill Clinton was a Governor. So was Jimmy Carter. I can think of a dozen Governors, past and present, that I'd never think of voting for, for president.
Executive experience (or simple tenure in office) is no guarantee that a person possesses the requisite characteristics and core values needed to turn around a nation in the dire straits we now find this country in.
No - what's needed is someone who's got the blood of the Framers running through their veins. Someone who's not afraid to give their all for the good of the country. Someone who not only loves, but understands and upholds the Constitution above all else. Someone with the right balance of personal charisma and intelligence that inspires others to follow their lead, and who helps them to find their courage in perilous times.
There is only one individual in the race who reaches that bar, and it's Ted Cruz. The next President of the United States.
Ted Cruz 53.2%
Rand Paul 16.83%
Someone else 13.25%
