My first choice is Ted Cruz. Does his Canadian birth preclude him from becoming POTUS?
If we can get three of four more conservatives in the primary, then...... Jeb Bush gets the nomination because we all split our vote, just like we did the last two elections.
Keystone Cop Conservatives set to strike again.
Could a Paul or a Cruz actually in in America?
I fear that they wouldn’t, actually.
That said, even if they lose, it is important to articulate an alternative. We’ve tried the strategy of losing without articulating an alternative, so better to lose while articulating an alternative.
Otherwise, it will be same old same old: nominate Bush or Christie, will will of course, lose. then blame it on conservatives and say “well, NEXT time, we have to appear to the middle and to minorities and we might win....”
same old same old....
(I like Paul and Cruz both...I think probably at the end of the day, Cruz would be better, though....)
Rand, I don’t think anyone is better than you on working to reduce the size of the behemoth.
But when you played footsie with Amnesty, I had to push you down the list.
Go, Ted!
From a Tea-Party perspective, Rand Paul with his Amnesty plan is a Traitor!
Truth Hurts...the tea party is in disarray somewhat. Look at the blows tea party people will give each other in Kentucky and Wyoming senate races. Still bitter blood from Todd Akin and Christine O’Donnell and Richard Murdoch races. You now that barbs will be traded. And tea party groups will be on both sides. Guy taking on McConnell has a shady back ground and took some government funds for his business. Came from the Northeast. Some tea party groups against him.
So more infighting when several so-called tea party people run for POTUS. Marco still being allowed into tea party events and meetings along with Kelly Ayote and others. While at the same time they do leftist things. Rand is not that conservative on quiet a growing number of issues, but does that mean he is not tea party? Depends what he does. He could go one way or the other on some issues like defense and immigration.
I like the idea of these two in the Senate, and adding a couple more whacko birds; maybe even a female of the species. I’m hoping for a governor to step forward as a presidential candidate.
