AW, that's a legit complaint; I don't have a long posting history here, and right now my biggest concern is with the danger that Trump poses to both the country and to conservatism.
Have you considered Carly? She's a business exec, just like Trump, with all the real-world savvy and negotiating ability that credential brings to the Presidency. I think it's an advantage, too, that she was CEO of a public company, reporting to a public board. That requires political skill and finesse.
I really don't want another first term Senator in the White House. Cruz and Rubio are veep material in my book.
As for the issues, I have no idea what issues are important to you, but just dial her up on YouTube, and listen to her articulate. She's got talent in spades.
I like Christie and Kasich, too. Kasich's ability to get us Ohio makes him the most electable candidate against Clinton in the general election, IMO; millions of folks who are appalled by HillBilly perfidy will have the excuse to vote for a Republican who promises reconciliation and a true spirit of Christian compassion.
Paul I like as well, but he's another first term Senator.
Yes, I was excited about Carly - especially after the first two debates. I would have loved to see a debate between her and Hillary, of course, I knew that would never be allowed to happen. Of anyone - Carly could eviscerate Hillary. But, she doesn't seem to have caught on since then. She's passionate, smart, articulate and is well versed on the issues. She brought me to tears when she was talking about Planned Parenthood during one of the debates!
I will be happy to vote for her is she is the nominee, but I don't think she will be. She would make a good VP, though at this point I don't think she'd bring a lot of voters to the table. I don't know why she has had such a drop in numbers.....like others, Trump has overshadowed them all.
My first picks were Rick Perry and Scott Walker, but boy - were they disappointing! I love Ted Cruz, to me, he is the most conservative of the candidates. Rand Paul is my senator, I like him very much and I self-identify as a libertarian - it's just not his time.
I used to like Kasich, but he has not impressed me one bit. As far as Ohio - Ohio is prime cheating ground - that's how Obama won last time. Cheating in a few key precincts (where Romney got not ONE single vote) and I have no doubt they will do it again. The mechanisms are already in place. I have already resigned myself that we might lose Ohio. But, there is a possibility that Trump could win New York and I think he would win Florida. Don't count on Ohio.
I will vote for the Republican nominee. I just think that right now is not the time to try to put a "statesmen" type of nominee up there - people are very angry right now and they want someone who will fight the Democrats tit for tat. It really has nothing to do with Trump's conservative bona fides - we're past that right now. Washington DC is very broken and we've got to tear that M*F*er down.
I appreciate your answer to me.
