Bush, Rubio, and Christie are completely and totally unacceptable. The democrat will carry my state in any case, but I will not vote for a democrat pretending to be republican under any circumstances.
Walker worries me on Amnesty, and I’m not sure I would trust any claims that his views had “evolved” toward supporting the rule of law. Any candidate who thinks criminals should be rewarded for their crimes is a non-starter for my vote.
Rand Paul has a crazy father, more than nutty enough that I am not thrilled with the idea of someone raised by Ron Paul, and I’m not sure about Rand in any case. His one virtue is that I trust him. He’s likely to spout off with things I’ll hate, and he will mean them. On the good side, he will spout off with things I love, and he will mean those too.
And then there is Ted Cruz. He may (or may not) tack toward the center in terms of political posturing. In his case, I’m okay with that. I will not believe he means it any more than I believed the rare comments from Obama that were anywhere short of virulently anti-American. Cruz may portray himself as moderate to get elected, but his priorities will be governing conservatively and constitutionally, and he’s got my vote for that reason.
Oh please, you haven't been paying close attention as to how he handled the criminal union movement...he ate them for lunch....he has no time for illegal nonsense.
