Hands on hips and that sombrero hair, ay ay ah ha!

Trump’s #1. He gets the non-voters to the polls. The first-time voters will go with him. And he’s the Republican who pulls in a larger percentage of female voters than the other Republicans do.
So, remind me again why we should give an owl’s hoot about what redstate has to say about anything?
Did our number one Conservative get the nomination in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, or 2012?
Folks, I like Cruz. What does it take for you to understand that Democrats plus “moderate” Republicans voting in our primaries and caucuses don’t equate to the most Conservative guy getting the nomination?
Take 2008 for instance. Let me see a show of hands for the people that think John McCain was the leading Conservative. I see one way in the back. Oh, that guy is asking for an emergency glass of water. Ok. McCain was the lest desireable man to Conservatives. THINK ABOUT THAT.
Those of you who think Cruz is going to Cruz right into the nomination are living in a fantasy world.
IT WON’T HAPPEN.
IN 2007 we thought McCain was done. In 2011 we thought Romney was done. In 2015, some folks think other “moderate” Republicans are done. If Trump were out of the picture, Cruz would be trounced by the same folks trying to take Trump down.
That’s an undeniable fact.
We have since Reagan’s 1984 election, not fielded a Conservative Nominee.
If have just explained why.
I like the top 5, but disagree with Rubio. I know the Sr Staff member for Orin Hatch and he told me that Romney wanted to pick Rubio for VP but didn’t because he polled terribly with hispanics. I don’t see him anywhere near the top 5.
RedState attempts to remain relevant...
Rand Paul at #3.
Ridiculous.
Aug 8th - "Jaw Dropping Nonsense – Erick Erickson: “Jeb Bush is The Most Conservative Republican Governor”…"
"So Erickson takes to the stage to introduce his friend: “I love this guy“, “the most conservative governor“, Jeb Bush." Watch:
Trump has pushed all the GOPe candidates to the bottom of the polls.
If not for Trump, Jeb! would be leading.
Trump has done more good for Conservatives than any candidate in recent memory.
Who do you support?
Hands on hips and that sombrero hair, ay ay ah ha!
Yeah, the writer lost me on point five. He sounds like a Romneyesque moron.
agree. Cruz is totally my guy. I like that trump is paving the way with bold stances that take the stigma off, but he’s never had my vote. Always Cruz.
If the race was between Jeb Bush and Jeb Bush. Jeb Bush would lose.
THe GOPe has already started its downward spiral into historical irrelevance.
Thanks for nothing.
Trump has a “chevalier attitude”?I think the author means to say cavalier attitude.
“... Ted Cruz has obvious problems ...”
Ted’s obvious “problems” are the GOP-e and the Socialist Media. Ted is saying practically the same thing as Trump; the only difference is the style .. not the substance. The fact that you can’t see that is troubling.
Ted is holding meetings with 3-4 times the number of people in attendance than for any of the other candidates - except Trump. I think Ted has had to change venues at least 3 times to accommodate all the people. Guess you didn’t know that either.
The GOP-e HATES CRUZ - BECAUSE HE HOLDS THEM ACCOUNTABLE - AND THEY DON’T LIKE IT .. AND THEY CONTINUALLY WORK AGAINST HIM IN THE SENATE.
Since you didn’t know that .. perhaps you’ll have a different opinion once you bother to find out the truth. However, if you’re just a shill for the DemocRATS .. I doubt you’ll ever have a nice thing to say about Cruz.
Pretty good analysis. I agree that Cruz is the real deal and I sincerely hope he is the nominee. I do like how Trump is forcing the debate on the invasion of our country by illegals but I agree that he is an ego driven person and should not be president. I am not that sure that he is even competent to run a government as complex as the U.S. of A. He is not as rich as he says he is. Mostly debt I think and we already have enough of that! MHO
what happened in last elections was that multiple CONSERVATIVES split the vote in the primaries and let a moderate go right up the middle...each time.
This go ‘round needs to be different and the solid conservative groups (tea party coalition, family research council, etc) have already been meeting and discussing just this issue and have determined they will get behind the solid conservative early. I say that will be Cruz and he WILL be our nominee.
Links?
Disagree. Rubio and Paul shouldn’t be on list. Trump will be our next President.
