If you had to vote in your state primary/caucus today, knowing what you know now about the various declared and probable candidates, who would you vote for? Why? Who would you like to see as the running mate for your preferred candidate? If you could help staff your candidates cabinet and other top appointments, who would you choose? If you could recommend different congressional leaders than we have now, who would they be? And who would you like to see on the Supreme Court and why? And finally, feel free to donate to Free Republic.

“We don’t vote early and often. I’ve spotted at least two examples of this in this thread.”

It makes it hard to count if they do not stick with voting one time and listing the names without a thesis attached. At least start a new paragraph for the thesis after the names are listed.

I have been advocating for a businessman for 20 years. We spend money to find out why lesbians are obese, to teach African men how to wash their weenies after sex. Give zillions to nations whose people hate us! This is no way to run a business or a country!
I was actually a Perot fan for about a week. I have this mental cartoon of the little guy streaking around the Oval Office desk, squeaking “Veto! Veto! We Can’t afford that! Veto! Veto!” The money we spend on complete bs is completely insane!

[Pelham]

1) Trump 2) Cruz 3) no one else

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Ted Cruz, because he’s the least worst.

[House Atreides]

TED CRUZ

For I know he is consistent and will actually govern according to constitutional conservative and American patriot positions...and not “evolve” in office.

CottonBall,

Why is it so hard for others to understand that we need a smashmouth fighter to win this.

Everyelse is `tiptoeing`, softshoeing or agressively tap dancing... UNFIT to lead.

I’m with you. We need Trump.

[DietCoke]

[South40]

Brilliant, just absolutely brilliant. And conservative through and through. Trustworthy, strong, confident, leader, and somebody in whom you can totally depend.
~Rush Limbaugh on Ted Cruz

Donald Trump.

We need someone with enough resources and ego to fight the two-party oligarchy that is ruling us. We deserve a shot at a bloodless attempt to get our government back to We, the People.
