Ted Cruz dominated, Rick Santorum flopped and Bobby Jindal found his niche.
At the latest GOP cattle call, about a dozen presidential contenders rolled through a Washington, D.C. ballroom over a three-day period to tout their socially conservative bona fides at the Faith and Freedom Coalitions Road to Majority conference. Most of the 2016 hopefuls managed to impress evangelical and other conservative Christian voters by championing religious freedom, highlighting support for traditional marriage and stressing the importance of family and family values.

Here are the hopefuls, by party, some have declared, there may be some I've forgotten to list, I've boldfaced my two (and only two) favorites and put strikes through the unacceptable candidates (that could grow):
Pubbies (thirteen declared, perhaps two more to go):
- Ben Carson [declared]
- Bobby Jindal (gov of LA)
- Carly Fiorina [declared]
Chris Christie (gov of NJ) Donald Trump [declared] - George Pataki
Jeb Bush [declared] - John Kasich (gov of OH)
Lindsey Graham [declared] - Marco Rubio [declared]
Mike Huckabee [declared] Peter KingRick Perry [declared] Rick Santorum- Sarah Palin
- Scott Walker
- Ted Cruz [declared]
other possible candidates:
- Brian Sandoval
- Jim Gilmore
- Kelly Ayotte
- Mike Pence
- Mitch Daniels
- Nikki Haley (gov of SC)
- Susana Martinez (gov of NM)
|
Here are some combos that make sense to me at this time:
- Ted Cruz, with running mate Donald Trump
- Ted Cruz, with running mate Carly Fiorina
- Ted Cruz, with running mate John Kasich
- Ted Cruz, with running mate Peter King
- Ted Cruz, with running mate Ben Carson
- Ted Cruz, with running mate Mike Huckabee
- Scott Walker, with running mate Susana Martinez
- Scott Walker, with running mate Marco Rubio
- Scott Walker, with running mate Brian Sandoval
- Scott Walker, with running mate Ben Carson
- Scott Walker, with running mate Nikki Haley
- Scott Walker, with running mate Carly Fiorina
- Scott Walker, with running mate Kelly Ayotte
- Scott Walker, with running mate Peter King

Demwits (4 declared, rest possible or probable):
Bernie Sanders (I-VT) [declared] Bill A.K.A. DeBlasioElizabeth WarrenHillary Clinton [declared] Lincoln Chafee [declared] Martin O'MalleyRand Paul [declared] other possible candidates:

Kelly Ayotte? You’re kidding right? That timorous RINO couldn’t debate her way out of a paper bag with the talking points printed on the bottom.

I compiled the list from various sources online. I have two acceptable nominees for POTUS, as shown. She isn’t one of them. I put her (down the list a ways) as a VP running mate for, I think, Walker, to double-X the ticket a little, but she would also not be my first choice for his running mate.

Sorry, don't mistake me in thinking I believed that you were implying Ayotte is a viable candidate for POTUS; I was remarking that it seems incredible to me that anyone would consider her such.
Even a starving consultant wouldn't be that dumb, I think...

Hey, dont give those starving consultants (a.k.a. partisan media shills) too much credit. ;) Oh I don't know, as to credit, if we gave them a bottomless bar tab they might do a lot less damage... but then again, maybe not.
