My first choice would be Marco Rubio. "I mean, you got the first mainstream Hispanic who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy, I mean, that's a storybook, man."The only way to stop the country's accelerating decline is to elect a Republican House, Senate and President. With which candidate is this most likely? I am concerned that a nominee who is too strident may cause some voters to hedge their bets by voting for Democratic senators. Thoughts?
Rubio's positions on immigration, particularly illegal immigration, are unacceptable.
I am strongly in favor of Ted Cruz, myself. He's also Hispanic - not that I personally give a damn about that - and he's intelligent, conservative, and willing to take on both the Democrats and the do-nothing Republican establishment. He has also consistently shown himself capable of doing so as a mature, thoughtful adult, without stridency.
When Black Lives Matter asshats were self-aggrandizing by interrupting the speeches of various candidates with their blathering tantrums, people like Bernie Sanders allowed themselves to be derailed and even hounded off the stage. Ted Cruz, on the other hand, responded calmly and respectfully, maintained control of the situation and his rally, and convinced the protestors to engage in the closest thing they could manage to a reasoned give-and-take with him.
And, of course, we all saw him take on the media and their liberal bias in the last debate. It was measured, reasoned, incisive, and utterly devastating.
