Dr. Ben Carson is, at best, a VP running mate.

I have seen several post similar regarding certain wannabes.

The VP is one heartbeat away from the presidency. The VP position should not be the JV office. The person selected by the presidential nominee should be qualified to take over immediately, if required.

No way will Hillary run with another 70-year old either.

Dems actually have a pretty good collection for the future, including a Westerner like Brian Schweitzer, and women like Amy Klobuchar and Kirsten Gillibrand.

Kathleen Kane of Pennsylvania and Jack Conway of Kentucky will try to get a national stage soon.

Fiorina is a horrific executive. She devastated HP and other businesses and is completely deaf to the needs of the middle class. She can go burn for all I care.

The Western Conservative Summit had Webb winning the Dems vote? Something is not kosher there...

Agree. Huck and Santorum need to LEAVE and endorse Cruz.

I like Ben Carson ok, but, I’ve heard so many people say: “After Barack Obama, I will never vote for another Black man.” Call it racist or political incorrectness or whatever, but that’s the way a lot of people feel. Carly Fiorina just keeps surprising me. I wonder what are the chances she could be the VP on a Cruz or Walker ticket?

Makes complete sense to me- remember, this is for conservatives.

Cruz/Walker. The only choice.

That’s assuming that the complete ticket will come from the lot of those presently in the running. What about a Cruz/Martinez or a Walker/Martinez ticket?

I’m not so sure about that, but he (Walker) certainly kicked @$$ on the government unions, and that’s all I need to know.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

That’s “all” you need to know? Wow... talk about a Johnny-One Note. I like Walker, but, Donald Trump would have crushed the Unions also (that’s just the way he is) so, would you vote for Trump if that is the only thing you use as a determining factor?

Marco Rubio 24 - Senor Marco the sleeper Mexican

Viennacon, you know that Rubio is not a Mexican; he’s Cuban.

I am well aware of that. But his immigration stance is very much pro-mexican

Carson is a gun-grabber. A good man, a good man with “fundamental” lacking the understanding of the necessary “fundamentals” of freedom and the ancillary requirements thereof..

He is a man “unfit” to govern me.
My requirements exceed his capacity..
Hubris? Yeah, maybe..

He’s still a good man whose “bread” needs more proofing.., more leavening, punching down of the “yeast”. He needs to be rolled out with fist and rolling pin..

No, because Trump hasn’t done that, Walker has.

What do you think “big government” is....elected people?

I don’t buy this poll.

If they really had Conservatives being polled Cruz would have done as well as he does with Freepers.

I can see Cruz and Walker ahead of moderates like Carson, Although people still want to portray themselves as non racist even after the disaster of Obama so they back Carson even though he is a moderate and has no political experience.

We shouldn’t vote for a woman or minority just because they are that, we need someone capable of getting us out of this Obama ditch we are in.

AS I said, take note...

Walker headlined this event and finished THIRD behnd Carson. Fiorina was unusually strong, but she doesn’t have staying power.

Cruz didn’t even come and still managed to pull top 4. I wouldn’t worry about it. He ran strong. I’d be concerned if I was Walker.

Only 18 candidates...

I thought it was more.

There are currently 96 individuals who have filed their Form 2 with the FEC as Republican candidates for president.
