I ask everyone to watch this in it's entirety before commenting. It is long and you will want a wifi connection, not cellular for those that don't have unlimited data.

If I could vote tomorrow Ted would get my vote. Trouble with living in Nebraska is that by the time it gets around to us we don't always get to vote for our 1st choice....screwy system we have in the primaries. I like Iowa but it's not the center of the universe. Zen

Trouble with living in Nebraska is that by the time it gets around to us we don't always get to vote for our 1st choice....screwy system we have in the primaries. I like Iowa but it's not the center of the universe. Zen Totally agree. I may live in Iowa, but the Hawkeye Cock-Eye is a joke. Too bad the primaries and caucus's aren't done in one day like the elections. It would be much harder to pull off, but there are just too many left out and too many others voting for someone in their state just because said candidate has been ahead in others. Sorry Kyle, our satellite service is too limited to be watching videos, and my homebuilt 30# 'puter is a bit too unhandy to take to the nearest wi-fi station. But I've been listening to Glenn Beck's position on the candidates for months. I agree that Ted Cruz would make the best president of the group. Yet I do not agree he could get elected. The same 47% who would not vote for Romney will certainly not vote for Ted. Then he's got a very uphill battle with everyone else but us conservatives. He may have enough support to get the nomination, but the chances are pretty slim for him to beat the Hildebeast in the general. Now, if Bernie were to be the Dark Side's nominee......could be a different story. But I have faith in the Demoncrats' bag of dirty tricks. If the weight of her criminal activity takes Shrillery down, they'll find a way to stick Bite-me up for their nominee. And Ted won't beat Gaff-Biden, either.

A few thoughts from someone who is disheartened with the entire situation. This seems like something staged for "reality" tv. Many people watch shows to enjoy the "attitude" or put downs that occur, or for the hurt of failure or rejection(The Batchelor, ette) . Sad! In Matthew 7:12, Jesus said, "Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you". Many (all?) of these candidates (Republican) claim to be Christians even if they don't know that 11 Corinthians isn't " two Corinthians", rather "second Corinthians" . But the actions and attacks against each other are horrible! Even Megyn Kelly's moderator actions against the candidates helped the Democrats. Why did she do that? Why did she fix her hair like that!!!?? Carly and Carson both have taken the high road; yet, that road seems to be going nowhere but downhill. Sad! The important point that Danno has already mentioned is that who ever is nominated be someone who can win in the fall . Whoever is possibly even the best for president ( in our opinion - most of us are rather conservative) may not be able to appeal the that middle group which will be critical in winning the general election. Sad but true. As I stated at the beginning, this has been a disheartening year, even though many of these candidates are very accomplished people trying to function in a disfunctional situation. Maybe the emails....

good thoughts sew,i have thought personally much the same. we have to remember mitt Romney's or Huckabee's nice guy approach did not work,so no more mister nice guy.
I do think cruz is the best person however I'm looking for someone to put people in high places & if they need to break the law(like the d's) & shove this current movement out so be it. potus & this movement if a R or I gets in are not going to simply disappear-they mean business & always will try to socialize/destroy this conservative country.
we need a fast extensive massive overhaul,take the white house,put all these good people in high positions & get to work with no pansy bickering.
I think after the gop dogfighting is done they will all unite as they did when they attacked the media on stage.
no offense to anyone jmho.

Got this thought from a fellow long range shooter and gunsmith up in Maryland: Food for thought?
As for Ted Cruz. I think he is brilliant and his talents as a debater and legal scholar are amazing. He has a problem and its not a small one. Thats his ability to serve as president. he says he can and so do many others. But there are many brilliant legal minds in his own state who say he can not. There lies the problem for me. If he won the party, Hillary will probably win the Democrat party. You can be sure the general election will be about him legally taking the office. A law suit just before the general election would surly make many just stay home. it does nto take much to kill voter turn out and give 2016 to either Hillary or that do nothing Bernie Sanders.
One thing that is worrisome is the supreme court. One now and possibly two. If that president gets a 2nd term it may be 3 or 4 new judges. One of those judges should be ted cruz. He could be the perfect candidate for the job and surly conservative with the mind to sway the court. I see a true chance to fix the US econemy this time and bring back US jobs. A change to give my kids the freedoms I enjoyed in my life. I am voting but not for Ted Cruz. I think Donald trump can do the job of fixing many of our problems. I see a big or Ronald Reagan in him.
Yesterday Jeb Bush did not pay the web fee for jebbush.com So Trump did and now when you check out jebbush.com it take you to Trumps web site. Thats the kind of detail I like in a leader. I bet he does the same with many of the countries we have bases in. Where we not only protect the countries, we actually pay them rent to do the job.
Sorry for the rambling, Bill

Here is some more food for thought?
Trump Is Not A Liberal or Conservative, He’s A Pragmatist We recently enjoyed a belated holiday dinner with friends at the home of other friends. The dinner conversation was jocund, ranging from discussions about antique glass and china to theology and politics. At one point reference was made to Donald Trump being a conservative to which I responded that Trump is not a conservative. I said that I neither view nor do I believe Trump views himself as a conservative. I stated it was my opinion that Trump is a pragmatist. He sees a problem and understands it must be fixed. He doesn’t see the problem as liberal or conservative, he sees it only as a problem. That is a quality that should be admired and applauded, not condemned. But I get ahead of myself. Viewing problems from a liberal perspective has resulted in the creation of more problems, more entitlement programs, more victims, more government, more political correctness, and more attacks on the working class in all economic strata. Viewing things according to the so-called Republican conservative perspective has brought continued spending, globalism to the detriment of American interests and well being, denial of what the real problems are, weak, ineffective, milquetoast, leadership that amounts to Barney Fife Deputy Sheriff – appeasement oriented and afraid of its own shadow. In brief, it has brought liberal ideology with a pachyderm as a mascot juxtaposed to the ass of the Democrat Party. Immigration isn’t a Republican problem – it isn’t a liberal problem – it is a problem that threatens the very fabric and infrastructure of America. It demands a pragmatic approach not an approach that is intended to appease one group or another. The impending collapse of the economy isn’t a liberal or conservative problem it is an American problem. That said, until it is viewed as a problem that demands a common sense approach to resolution, it will never be fixed because the Democrats and Republicans know only one way to fix things and the longevity of their impracticality has proven to have no lasting effect. Successful businessmen like Donald Trump find ways to make things work, they do not promise to accommodate. Trump uniquely understands that China’s manipulation of currency is not a Republican problem or a Democrat problem. It is a problem that threatens our financial stability and he understands the proper balance needed to fix it. Here again successful businessmen like Trump who have weathered the changing tides of economic reality understand what is necessary to make business work and they, unlike both sides of the political aisle, know that if something doesn’t work you don’t continue trying to make it work hoping that at some point it will. As a pragmatist Donald Trump hasn’t made wild pie-in-the-sky promises of a cell phone in every pocket, free college tuition, and a $15 hour minimum wage for working the drive-through a Carl’s Hamburgers. I argue that America needs pragmatists because pragmatists see a problem and find ways to fix them. They do not see a problem and compound it by creating more problems. You may not like Donald Trump but I suspect that the reason people do not like him is because: 1) he is antithetical to the “good old boy” method of brokering backroom deals that fatten the coffers of politicians; 2) they are unaccustomed to hearing a candidate speak who is unencumbered by the financial shackles of those who own them vis-a-vis donations; 3) he is someone who is free of idiomatic political ideology; and 4) he is someone who understands that it takes more than hollow promises and political correctness to make America great again. Listening to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders talk about fixing America is like listening to two lunatics trying to “out crazy” one another. Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio are owned lock, stock, and barrel by the bankers, corporations, and big dollar donors funding their campaigns. Bush can deny it but common sense tells anyone willing to face facts that people don’t give tens of millions without expecting something in return. We have had Democrats and Republican ideologues and what has it brought us? Are we better off today or worse off? Has it happened overnight or has it been a steady decline brought on by both parties? I submit that a pragmatist might be just what America needs right now. And as I said earlier, a pragmatist sees a problem and understands that the solution to fix same is not about a party, but a willingness and boldness to get it done. People are quick to confuse and despise confidence as arrogance, but that is common among those who have never accomplished anything in their lives and who have always played it safe not willing to risk failure.

Richard, you put you opinion in a very well reasoned way. Great post. I can't agree with you more. I do not know who has the best chance against Hillabeast or 80 grit Sanders. However, my gut says the same thing you did so well. We need someone who can and wants to fix thing...unencumbered by special interests and owing favors. Getter done. I am in Trumps court as well.
This back and forth on party lines and polarization between the dems and repubs has slowly started killing the country. Your Reagan comment is spot on. With Trump, you have that kind of guy with a sharper edge. I do not know if that will work but I would try it for 4 years....maybe 8 if it started to work. We need something other than establishment people who are paid off.
Yes, Ted would be better than Hilldabeast butI would like to see something different. He has a chance for sure... Trump that is.
Thanks Richard, well said.

The Republican Party has put up the weakest field in my lifetime. D'ump is a joke and is making a mockery of the political party. Bernie is not going to be left behind by Super Tuesday. Unless the right doesn't get their act together we will have our first woman president.
