What worries me is that Cruz's wife was the managing director at goldman sachs, he's a little too close to Wall Street for my taste...

It is true that Heidi had a high level position at Goldman Sachs.  I do not know if she is on leave of absence or has terminated her employment.

However, that does not equate to anything negative on Heidi's part and definitely not Ted's.

So what?

Guilt by association is a bad proposition.  Honorable people deal with Wall Street every day.

The last I heard, Goldman Sach's is giving to several different candidates....... but I did not see Ted's name on the list!

Interesting that even among people with a shared vision of what a Constitutional Republic should look like, when it comes to politics it is still easier to try to bring down opposing candidates than it is to support one's own.

I am having a hard time at this point picking out anyone deserving of my support.

Granted,it is still early days yet and there is still plenty of time for one of them to surge to the front of the pack,but it just hasn't happened yet for me.

I can't think of any circumstances that would cause me to vote for JEB or Trump. Just ain't going to happen,period.

That's one I'm not falling for.

So he is a crony capitalist by marriage?

Working for a large financial institution is not a crime.

Of all the candidates to choose from on the right side, Cruz is my least favorite.  He thinks too Canadian for me. And he appears really feminine, not like a John Wayne Texan like Perry.

That "John Wayne" like Perry is the biggest purveyor of cronyism I've ever seen. I've lived in Texas nearly all my life and it's an ill kept secret he made sure his buddies held the highest offices in the state. In fact, he and his crony David Dewhurst were so sure Dewhurst has the Senate seat wrapped up, they were slow to figure out that Cruz was on the rise, until it was too late.
  Perry is an idiot, weak on illegal immigration, and won't get the Presidency- at least I hope not.

What is YOUR least favorite has a superb chance of winning the GOP nomination.


I grew up on Canadian TV And radio. Go ahead --- define "thinks too Canadian."

As for too feminine? Have you noticed how Hussein the Magnificent tries to throw a baseball? And those REALLY MASCULINE mom jeans Obonzo wears! (*SNORK!*)
