On Sean Hannity's Wednesday radio show conservative commentator and “Mugged” author Ann Coulter laid out what she viewed to be the proper criteria for the Republican Party’s 2016 presidential hopefuls.
She ruled out rising-star Texas Sen. Ted Cruz as a potential candidate unless the United States were to absorb Canada’s three most western provinces due to eligibility questions stemming from the fact that Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta. Beyond that, Coulter also wants the next GOP presidential candidate to live up to certain gender and appearance standards.
“Look — the general principles on choosing our next president, and like I say we’ll throw them all in debates and see how they perform because that’s an important — that’s important how they appear,” Coulter said. “Got to be a governor — maybe a senator, but definitely governor or senator. No members of the House. Even the governors — they’re much better if they come from bigger states and preferably purple to blue states. [They] cannot be freakishly short or freakishly funny-looking. And I would say three years from now, and only I can say this — I think no women right now. We can’t do anything fancy. America has not had a woman president yet.”(continued)

Ann’s advice is not at all consistent with her choiceof Romney. The dude was funny looking ~ greased back ducktails? Give me a break ~ that went out with the ‘60s.
According to Ms. Coulter, Mitt Romney was the most electable conservative candidate in the 2012 field. Opinions are like assholes, everyone’s got them.
The opinion I really don’t want is Rove’s. Coulter sounded like she was rambling.
Calling Mitt an electable conservative is like calling Obama a patriotic American. Both words are lies.
What on EARTH happened to her??
I disagree. We may not have had a formally female president, but the current occupant of the office is definitely a d*ckless, b@ll-less creature. . .
Who gives a rats ass what this moonbat loving idiot has to say.
Sounds like it’ll be Gov tall dark & handsome Chris Christie.
If you know another candidate who could have won, you're welcome to fault her for supporting Romney, but her effort to be pragmatic and support a candidate she thought had a shot at winning isn't the worst thing about her.
Say what you will about his politics (and I’ll likely agree) but Mitt Romney looked exactly like a central casting version of presidential. There was nothing wrong with his appearance; his politics sucked.
She has clearly lost her mind. Now she worries about our candidate being eligible, but Obama..not so much. No freakishly short candidates but grotesquely fat (like Christie is ok.) Has to be from a blue state or moderate, yep Romney lost and McCain lost. No women...yet no worries about the stupid ‘War On Women’ meme. She is doubling down on failure. Go figure.
Talk about someone whose judgment on potential candidates I do NOT trust, it’s Coulter! With her track-record, I’d be automatically suspicious if not totally distrustful of ANYONE she named.
Really classy comment there.

If my memory serves me correctly, wasn’t Ann Coulter one of the people that were shoving Mitt Romney down our throats last year during the primary season?
Her favorite was and will be Christie.
Which is a step in the wrong direction...
From RINO moderates
to NJ Liberal.
If a Kenyan Marxist can be president, then a Canadian conservative definitely can. Shut up, Coulter. We all know you want Krispy Creme, a pathetic liberal. Your opinion is almost as meaningless as that of Tokyo Rove.
“Her favorite was and will be Christie.
Which is a step in the wrong direction...
From RINO moderates
to a MUZZIE-LOVING NJ Liberal.”
Fixed it.
