Not surprised. But the first major candidate to officially throw in his hat.

Thoughts?

Ted Cruz belongs as a firebrand Senator, not a presidential candidate. I'm ultra conservative and I wouldn't vote for him, he is un-electable and isn't presidential.

He is a male Sarah Palin; the best place for him is stoking the base for money/votes, but not as the front man.

Rand Paul has announced his announcement date sometime in April. So he's officially unofficial until official in April or something like that.

The next president will be owned by the same people that owned the last one.

He's a clown, and having him in the clown show Republican primaries is going to be awesome.

I had high hopes for the Tea Party until they glommed on to the social issues. It's disappointing that fiscal issues can't be debated separately. Cruz is a no go.

I'm likely voting Libertarian anyway, so it doesn't really matter for my personal vote. However, if a candidate from the 2-party system MUST be in the White House, I'd prefer it be a Republican; at least that was I have a glimmer of hope that I won't be taxed to all hell and back.

Vote 3rd party and judge all politicians in office with the Salem Witch Trial model.

As someone on FB posted, "he seem like a guy who received a lot of wedgies when he was younger".

Marco Rubio is the only Republican with a chance of winning, and I say that if he can get enough Latinos out based on name alone but I think that only matters this election and this election only. Millenials are the Republicans worst nightmare. The problem for Republicans is on social issues they will time and time lose on at a national level. There will be a Democrat in office until the Republicans nominate someone pro-gay marriage and pro-choice. Beyond social issues student debt is the millenials biggest concern and the Republicans won't offer common sense solutions to lowering the cost of education because the conservative wing will label it socialist.

The Democrats can do whatever they want but I usually dislike liberal solutions to problems. It sucks but Hillary is moving back in the White House.

The only chance I don't vote 3rd party is if Rand runs. Even then, I won't be satisfied, but could bite my tongue and bare it enough to vote Republican.

Statistically speaking, no candidate who has ever announced first has won the presidency.

Somewhere Hilary stroked her boner when she heard this.
