You have probably seen all of the ridiculous speculating about the GOP nomination in 2016. This is still speculating, but my sincere hope is you don’t think it’s ridiculous too.
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul is laying the foundation for his presidential bid in concrete and steel.
First, forget about Jeb Bush unless you want to hand Hillary eight years in the White House. The latest Rasmussen poll shows her leading Jeb in a general election 47 percent to 33. His name is Bush and to the general public the specifics of how smart he is doesn’t matter one iota.
Then there’s Ted Cruz, he’s nothing but a hack. There’s no substance to what he says. He only cares about adulation and applause. When he speaks, it’s contrived and inauthentic. Matt Lewis’s recent piece on Ted Cruz’ strategy illustrated this, pointing out that Ted Cruz is trying to get close to Paul, while sticking to the mainstream GOP foreign policy to not seem to far out there.
Even before Chris Christie’s troubles with the George Washington Bridge and being exposed at the very least for hiring a petty, inept staff he was a poor fit for the Republican party base. His disdain for the second amendment is a major obstacle. Governor Christie has done nothing to restore the gun rights of the people of New Jersey and doesn’t care to. Whether intentional or not, Christie helped Barack Obama get re-elected through his endorsements and photo ops after Hurricane Sandy....

There is a reason that, in the history of the Presidency, that only 3 sitting US Senators have been elected - in 1920, 1960, and 2008 - and all of them were poor Presidents.
“What in the hell has happened to FR? Is this a serious discussion saying Scott Walker is better than Ted Cruz or Rand Paul? WTF has happened to this place?”.....
Opinions are like noses and bung holes, everyone has one. Time will tell the outcome so be patient.
I won’t believe it till the fat lady not only sings, but does a belly dance as well. It will be another RHINO.
It will be another RHINO..........................Hmmmmm? lets see, who is the current longest serving Republican Congressman, isn’t it his turn to run??
Oh I think they’d know who he is very quick. It would take just a few moments for the lame stream to make his name well known. In short, they’d do it for him.
For anyone who puts any stock in this front-runner nonsense this far out from the first primary, ask them to remind you the margin that Hillary Clinton beat Guiliani by in the 2008 general election.
“Then there’s Ted Cruz, he’s nothing but a hack.”
Libtard translation: We are terrified he will win the nomination and become president.
Who is this R-Tard ?
Then there’s Ted Cruz, he’s nothing but a hack.

Something we all should store in our documents library. Excellent!
A one term FORMER congressman with no formal education to speak of is considered the second best president (some even say the best) by many, if not most, historians. What do you say to that? Did you read the portion of the biography that I posted above? He’s everything, times 10, for real, that the media claims that the current White House resident is. Read the part about the debating and cases he has litigated. Really read it. See?
I didn’t call Ted Cruz a hack, the idiot author/radio show host/Paulestinaian did. I want Ted Cruz in the White House, Sarah Palin and her family in the Naval Observatory and John Bolton at State along with Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney at Ft Fumble.
I know you didn’t say that; that was a quote from the idiot author. I save arial typeface for quotes from non-FR publications.
There you are! Thank you for staying. We got a big row to hoe this year.
Gonna need all hands on deck.
Rand Paul would probably be a good candidate if his name were Brad Jones or Bill Smith. But the nut doesn’t fall very far from the tree.
We love ya, FRiend!
