Nobody on that list is going to please everyone. I guarantee there are people here who will find something objectionable about Ted Cruz once he gets the full vetting from the media. We can’t make the same mistake in 2016 and split the conservative vote and give a clear path to Christie to get the nomination. We need to unify, before the first votes are cast in Iowa, behind a conservative. I don’t want to go through a possible eight years of Queen Hillary, Crazy Uncle Joe, or Senator Pocohantas from Massachusetts as our president.

Could a bunch of conservative web sites get together and have some kind of straw poll of members who’ve been registered at least 6 months before the poll starts to narrow the field?

Or I could just dictate that all the rest of you vote for Cruz.

I hate to tell you this, but you should avoid this place like the plague if you are going to get upset over conservatives eating their own.

There were a few posters who plastered this place with nothing but hate for every candidate but “insert yours here” last cycle. It was brutal and quite ridiculous. Reagan would not be good enough today.

While everyone is correct that such fighting allows the establishment to push their RINO to the finish line, everyone must also understand that no man or woman is going to fix this mess and we must get the best we can get, push hard from the local level through congress, and pray. We won’t fix everything in the term of any President. We also won’t control congress for longer than 2 years if we elected a guy who tried to fix everything at once. Too many people invested in the current disaster and not enough voters who understand how conservatism is good for them. It’s going to take time.
