Discussion thread: Who should deliver the GOP response to the State of the Union?

one man's opinion.....

[ken5050]

Obama will deliver yet another boring, adversarial, political speech next Tuesday..a.k.a The State of the Union Address to Congress (though since he's recently told us that he has a phone, and a pen, and doesn't need Congress for jack..maybe he'll boycott it.) John Boehner and Mitch McConnell in consultation with others, will decide who gives the Republican response. So, the question is, who would you like to see respondng to Zero?

Mike Lee is deeply brilliant, but Ted Cruz has the fire as well as the brilliance.

Well ryan could write the response although it would be full or intervertent mistakes. Does that cross him off the list, he will promise to correct them later.

[JudyinCanada]

Lol - he seems to stand pretty strong of some things.

RE :”It will be Paul Ryan - almost won, but really came in second. GOP thinks he has a future, and he is so so amenable to work things out like the budget, amnesty and all the other things Obama wants to cram down our throats’

Ryan is so lame. His talking point arguments are so lame. He is very weak, always trying to get everyone to like him.
I was amazed back three years ago how so many were suckered by him.

Even when he did the John Kerry ‘against it before I was for it’ contradictions on the sequester back in 2012, he had those who tried to argue that it made sense.

Ted Cruz seems good at that.

I won't be watching..Then one I would choose would be Sarah Palin,and we know that is not going to happen..

[Mr. Jeeves]

How about nobody? It’s time for this “tradition” to end.

Who should deliver the GOP response

No one should respond. If hounded by the press and the radicals just say that lies, half truths, spins and exaggerations don't deserve a response.

[jersey117]

Ted Cruz or Mike Lee

[chris37]

Ted Cruz.

No one else in the GOP matters a hill of beans.

[chris37]

[skinkinthegrass]

really won't matter, our (GOP/e) Congressional Ldr.
Class will just pee in their pants on said podium.
but, you want names (in no real particular order):
Ted Cruz or Mark Lee or LCol. Allen West or Mark Levin (top tier)
Ben Carson, Joe Wilson, Sarah Palin & Rushbo (Honorable Mention :)
a real Conservative w/"brass ones"
which excludes any of our Cong. Ldrs.
