Should be Cruz/Trump, but that may not be in the cards.
Proving once again PT Barnum was right.
Ben Carson should definitely be there until the end - make the argument for blacks to leave the Democrat party.
It’s really tough: Cruz was born in Canada and didn’t give up that citizenship until a year or so ago.
There are a lot of people who like his stand-up conservatism. But it is difficult to accept that he is eligible to be a U.S. President.
Wow. Car-lie Fio-RINO is mired in single digits, even after a week of non-stop promotion by GOPe media arms FoxNews and IJReview
What does she really bring to the table?
Ben is not a lawyer or a politician.
And going to UofM for his MD partially absolves his Ivy League undergrad stint.
Folks are starting to realize that’s what this country needs.
My theory is that this is where a lot of Trump backers are parking their vote.
These people are not ready to come out and say publicly they are for Trump so they say they are for Ben Carson. This allows them to still back a non-politician with the added bonus of being perceived as "enlightened" as Ben Carson is a black man. Nobody's going to call you a racist if you say you are for Ben Carson.
For the same reason, Trump backers are saying they are for Carly Fiorina. She's also not a politician and now you get to say you are backing a woman, so you aren't perceived as a misogynist.
Add up the non-politician vote and you are pretty close to 50%. Pretty much all this vote will eventually wind up with Trump as I don't see Carson or Fiorina going the distance.
People are sick of politicians. They want someone who has never been part of the GOPe. After hearing George Will’s scurrilous comments about Trump supporters, you will understand why Middle Class taxpayers feel this way.
Someone please sit me down and explain to me the whole Ben Carson thing.

Notice that ALL the GOPe favored candidates have sunk below 3rd place and that the top three are non-establishment types. That explains it IMHO.
Screw the GOPe and the ruling elite.
She ran her company into the ditch, fired tons of workers, only attended 17% of the board meetings….sounds like a future GOPe politician to me.
Citizenship from other countries will never be under our control. As long as the person did not ask for citizenship and it was conferred upon him, it should not affect his American citizenship.
Tomorrow Yemen could offer a candidate full citizenship; should that affect the candidate’s eligibility? Absolutely not.
He is likable and he's black, but speaks like a white person.
That’s it?
Is Ted Cruz a natural-born citizen eligible to serve as president? [Yes! And I support him! JimRob]

He is an outsider. Similar to Trump in a way but Carson has no experience with buying politicians.
Or you could go with, “He is an African American who is articulate, bright and clean...”
