Do not rate anyone based only on reading posts on FR. Even Jeb Bush governed conservatively in Florida, judging by taxes, education results and judges appointed. Actually we have a bumper crop of conservatives in LEADING positions this time compared to 2012 & 2008. Except I wish all the retreads from 2012 would stay out of it (Huckabee & Santorum, both of whom will hurt Ted Cruz’s chances).
I rate people based on their records. Cruz has the most solid record of them all. Santorum and Huckabee will not do much damage to Cruz..I don’t think so at least
