Cruz is my guy for sure.
Walker is second but not really a close second.
But I’m not quite sure what to do with Fiorina. She has been unexpectedly excellent the few times I’ve seen her interviewed on the various talk shows. She is impressive, very impressive.
My problem with Carly is twofold:
I really don’t know enough about her and her past history political-wise to really trust her like I think we can trust Cruz and Walker. That could change.
But my main problem with Fiorina is that my gut feeling is she couldn’t beat Hillary. That could change as well but I doubt it.
In any case I believe she is due a cabinet position in a Cruz or Walker Administration. Of that I have do doubts.
Hillary is a shrill, stone footed campaigner with an oversize caboose. At some point she will have to face a Republican opponent in a debate. She won't be able to hide and she will be called on to explain herself on issues like Benghazi, missing e-mails, her non-performance as Sec of State and so on. The Democrats understand why Hillary is hiding. That is what scares them.
Fiorina (or any other Republican candidate) will defeat Hillary by calling her out in a debate.
You can bet that Hillary will insist on a minimum number of debates in as controlled an environment as possible.
Fiorina snuck through several doors into high positions for her gift for gab, but she was an unequivical disaster for the companies she infiltrated. She destroyed the successful culture at HP and it took years for them to recover.
When they finally walked her out, groups of people were singing "Ding, Dong the witch is dead" in several locations.
Call me a cockeyed optimist, but IMHO it’s so far to the nomination that I don’t even know for sure that Hillary will be on the ticket. It just might be John Kerry, or even Al Gore.
The assumption that it’ll be Hillary is the assumption that the not only the mendacity but also the reach of the MSM is unlimited. Both are large, but somehow Republicans have been elected POTUS as regularly as not.
