WE can all debate the selection of who and which candidate is the best possibility to become the next POTUS. At this point in the game, as we work up to the eventual final selection to be made by the existing rinos, it is only rhetoric. The rinos will still have the last say in who they want to represent true conservatives.

And if the RINOS screw it up again they will become extinct.

Sure Cruz is the best we have, but let’s face it at 3% in the polls, he has a long climb to the top.

"Carter was a dope"

Per Thrump Cater was the same as Reagan, both were just a smile.

IMO, Cruz/Jindal is the ticket. Jindal is the intellectual equal of Cruz and his hobby horse is health care. He speaks circles around critics when they can longer say “where is the Republican (health care) plan?

“Wow! Hadn’t thought of West. Just imagine a Pres. Cruz with West at his six.”

Cruz and Ben Carson would also be a great ticket!

I think it is a law in Florida that he can’t run for both. His backup plan is to run for governor.

West would make an outstanding Secretary of Defense. I think he would be most effective in that post.

a SUGGESTION only because the r DC critters are nothing but baggage for the man. The SOB’s constantly screw their constituents by their various means (remember Mississippi!!!!)

Ted would be better for it if he left these unintelligent asses at the starting gate as he begins the race with only like-minded steeds. With the stabs taken in the back from the r-crew they are losing among true conservatives. Many have given up hope on them and we will NEVER trust them again. If the Senator would think about it, he would not wish to be in the same corral with them. Of course he needs the r votes...however, he does NOT need the elite dc critters. Who knows, by leaving the r-party with a number of tested conservative like-minded pubbies he just might have the ability to make the r-elites only a grain of sand in history as time goes on. That would be a just reward for these bastards

On this 4th of July Celebrate not only our Independence from a Tyrannical English Crown rule, but Celebrate States Right’s, Federalism as it was originally intended, and Independence from a Tyrannical Central
government in the swamp of the Potomac.

They are not even worthy to even use George Washington’s name for they are a forgien government.

good point... IF Trump isn’t lying..
He’s smart and could of learned from Obama you can say literally anything while campaigning and do whatever you want in office (AND GET AWAY WITH IT)

I don’t trust him.. I trust Ted Cruz..... (kinda)..

"NOW.. IF.... we can find a Veep that gets close to worthy of him.. "

I think that a Cruz-Walker ticket might be awesome.

Not me.. I think Walker is a back-bencher..
Conservative(probably) but not aggressive enough..

Talks a fair game but way too "moderate"..
he would slow Americas decline probably but merely slow it..

We need some one that knows the federal givernment MUST be dealt a death blow.. with a pin to deflate it..
AND is willing able and courageous enough to actually DO IT..

Walker just dont seem to be "that Guy"..
Cruz(seems to be) and Trump would be a good people pusher..
Trump knows and could appoint the right people ... in the right places..
AND give the Curly salute to the incompetent..

looks like; it's Cruz / Trump..
even though Trump has an ego the size of Trump Tower..
Trump would go thru the Executive Branch like a dose of diarrhea... if allowed to..
AND Cruz would allow him to.. need a couple of BULLS... not bleating sheep.. even Rams

Two of MY personal choices for the #2 spots that I did not mention are Allen West and John Bolton, but I did not mention them because I think that while either of them would be a great President if required, not very many people would like them as well as I do, and they would be a negative to Cruz as far as vote attractors. I put Trump in that category also, while I do agree that he would be a kick-ass VP.

Well, it troubles me that he seems locked in at 4 percent, only 1 point above the egregious “Richard” Perry.

Maybe; Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr. (another alias), said that his greatest accomplishment in public office was John Paul Stevens.

I have been on the fence between Cruz and Walker. I am now leaning more towards Cruz.
