There is a nugget. If we settle on one good conservative and let Bush and Romney split the GOPe we have a possibility of getting the nomination.
IMHO, only way a Cruz type candidate wins in 2016 is ONE conservative against 2 or more so called moderates (Mitt, Jeb & Chris)
The only way that would happen is if the conservative politicians interested in running held a private meeting, took an oath of silence, then conducted a straw poll among themselves to select 2 of them to serve as our conservative Pres/VP candidates against the #%$@ RINOs.
After their vote, the REST of them would have to consolidate, form a cohesive group, and get behind the 2 people who were picked to save our country from these freakin' Communists who are destroying it.
It won't happen. A meeting like that would require all of them to check their ego at the door and put our country first. The ONLY way I could see this happening is if Rush, Levin, Hannity, et al started pushing for it publicly. Otherwise, it remains a pipe dream I've had for years.
