Anyone would be better than Hillary/Bernie. (they are the same)
Rubio, Jeb, and Christie are GOPe. not much different then Dems and one worlders.
Carson is very intellgent of course but not capable of being President or a leader.
Trump is an outstanding marketer and entertainer. He’s a fair business man. He’s nuttier then a fruitcake and I dont trust that he’s not a backdoor dem.
Cruz is intelligent and about as honest as any politician. I think he understands the system well enough to revamp it. AND he is willing to do it. he’s far from perfect.
Pretty much how I see it. If I could just pick, it would be Cruz. I just don’t think he’ll win the general. Trump has the best chance for that imho. I pray to God Trump isn’t a plant as you said. I discount that because I don’t think that goes with his psychological makeup, but I could be wrong.
