We need DeMint to run.Is he solid on immigration enforcement?

[Pollster1]

DeMint is essentially flawless by my standards except that he says quite clearly that he doesn’t plan to run.

I like John Thune from SD. It is a small state but South Dakota has low taxes and they are doing some of the right things statewide. This could reflect on Thune who is younger than the other Contenders.

If not 2012 at least 2016
