Cruz, Carson, and Walker. These are all people who've done something, who stick with their marriage vows, who treat people with respect even when they disagree.

How do you know they stick with their marriage vows?

The establishment does not favor integrity. There were at least 2 up on that stage and neither had airtime.

Are you foolin’ me? It takes a person who has no real moral sense and doesn't have a problem screwing over the stupid human capital to sit in the big boy chair.

The establishment is hated because they act so pompous, but we know they are scurrilous bastards who would screw their own grandma over for money and power.

You’re talking about a guy that’s as erratic as a drunk 95 year old in a Lincoln Town Car. Sure, he’ll bring hell, but you never know from one year to the next if he agrees or disagrees with you.

More blab, blab, blab. What is being done to Trump is what will be done to whomever survives.

“Hey Republicans, Maybe We Should Consider Electing Someone With Integrity”

Yes, Senator Cruz meets that criteria, along with any other that you can think of. Absolutely the most qualified for 2016, by far.

Cruz is head and shoulders above the rest.

I hope other people see it.

I could vote for any of the candidates who side with the citizens and the rule of law. That list is short.

I will not vote for the ones siding with the illegal aliens and their employers. That list is long, unfortunately.

So, you are a wussy looking for a coward that is a liberal. You want a limp-wristed liberal and are mad that Trump is leading and he isn’t a liberal. Got it, loud and clear.

Actually what it takes to lead is leadership.

Do you see any of the other candidates with leadership qualities?

I don’t.

They all look like faces in a crowd to me.

Yes, because the only alternative to a prick is someone who is a milquetoast capitulator. /s

We’ve got plenty of those in the race, but I have a hard time seeing Cruz, Carson, and Walker as capitulators.

I thought all 17 candidates were far more impressive than the 5 moderators....far superior....far smarter.....all of them. Well, maybe not Lindsey, but 16 out of 17. Hell, Gilmore could win in some cycles. Maybe Pataki too...but not this time.

We've been voting in people who claimed to be conservative since I was born and the country has been moving left with their help ever since.

Maybe it's time for a 95 year old drunk to take the wheel. Winston Churchill drank a quart of scotch every day and two on Sunday.

>>there are other candidates in the race who possess these same characteristics much more convincingly.

>>You want someone hated by establishment? Ted Cruz.

>>You want someone who isn’t a politician? Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina (her downsides notwithstanding).

>>You want a fresh face who can beat Hillary Clinton? Well, there’s everyone I just listed, plus Marco Rubio and Scott Walker.

>>You want a guy who isn’t afraid to get angry and take it to the opposition? Nobody’s done that better than Rand Paul.

>>You want politically incorrect? Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum.

>>I’m not endorsing all of these people or telling you to vote for them, I’m just letting you know that the anti-establishment, politically incorrect, non-politician, angry, frustrated, bold and combative bases are all thoroughly covered this time around.

Perhaps we want ALL of those characteristics (or at least most of them) in one candidate. You see, we don’t vote for a Triumvirate, We vote for ONE PERSON to be president.

That’s a low blow, even for you. Which one of these three is a limp-wristed liberal: Cruz, Carson, Walker?

That useless ranting of an article doesn’t describe Cruz, Walker or Carson. It is just a liberal anti-Trump hit piece.

Don’t try to hide a liberal anti-Trump hit piece behind anyone else, mkay?

It’s a hit-piece that’s needed. I hope it helps destroy Trump’s candidacy. And learn to show some respect to people who’ve been around a lot longer than you have.

If Republicans actually had integrity and kept to their election promises, Trump would not have as much support as he does now. Republicans pushed all their base away and everyone is looking desperately for none-of-the-above candidate

Ben Carson. Yes, let’s elect a man with no knowledge of foreign policy, no knowledge of domestic policy, no knowledge of military matters or economic policy or how the government works because what could possibly go wrong?

Integrity? I’m not so sure many people in Washington could even pronounce the word, let alone possess it.
