Free Republic Straw Poll (January 2016 edition)

January 3, 2016 | 2ndDivisionVet

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.

Cruz

[Company Man]

Freepers! Are you not entertained?

In my state hairy Reid beat the conservative candidate in his last election. I don’t have confidence that Cruz can win. I will vote for Trump and hope that Cruz is his VP.

[House Atreides]

Cruz
Because a Seven Mountains Caliphate is truly what this country needs.

THIS IS NOT A VOTE!

Iceman, if that’s the case, you need to change your vote to Trump.

Cruz doesn’t have the independence Trump has. Trump’s children and grandchildren are safe and protected. Cruz is not strong enough in resources or ego to fight the oligarchy. And they will fight dirty. Cruz can’t protect his children independently of the government. If Trump can shine light on the corruption and clean the swamp, Cruz can be a post-oligarchy President of the kind we were supposed to have from the Constitution. I bet even Cruz would have to admit that.

Trump without a doubt.

Still Trump the Cruz.

[The Iceman Cometh]

Rafael anointed Ted along with the congregation to gain control of the seven pillars of society to ensure a Christian nation and also transfer the wealth to the 'kings'.

Do you have a problem with that?

[Finny]

Cruz.

[Will88]

Trump

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

We get it. We just think it’s extraordinarily likely that your guy is gonna revert to form and go smashmouth on conservatism. It’s what statists do.

[FourtySeven]

Thanks for the counts.

I’d be interested in the final tally.

I’m for Cruz.

[conservativejoy]

Cruz!

...and rolling over and letting communist thugs scratch their belly is what Lobbyist owned establishment pukes do.

I’ll put my money on American loving smashmouth.

[SunkenCiv]

Nice! Thanks Company Man! Stealin' it!
