To be frank with you, at this point, I’m most impressed with the consistent conservative, Cruz. I listened with my own ears to Rubio come out for green cards for just 10 years for illegals. Carson simply isn’t forceful enough for me. Trump is conservative but is a new convert to that position.
So, if I though Cruz could beat Clinton, then I’d be all for him.
I DO THINK that Trump has the means to win. He has more than enough MONEY. That is a huge issue.
Next, I think his name recognition is probably as great or greater than Hillary’s. And I think low info voters flock to his simple speech, his media fame, and his “you’re fired” toughness.
Bottom line is that, if Trump stays the course with immigration, he’s the most likely to win given his advantages of money and name recognition.
I like Trump, though he’s not the ideal.
But my point is that none of them are, and this nonsense about Ben Carson s life story is just garbage. It is not why I would/would not vote for him. It is policy, what is he advocating that earns my vote.
Other bottom line is that once nominated the Republican party opens its’ coffers and lists to the nominee. Trump could raise $1 billion as easy as anyone, perhaps easier.
It is also likely he has a dozen friends who are also billionaires who would likely open a PAC giving him more than $1 billion to destroy Clinton.
