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.

I mean, there is no chance I would vote for him, but nonetheless, he is a major candidate that is worthy of discussion.

I believe he will snag a lot of the Tea Party votes in the primary, and go down guns blazing, taking multiple candidates with him (perhaps some who might actually win)

He's a far more serious candidate and person than Palin. But I share your viewpoint on him.

agreed. i mean i'd vote for him over any Dem nominee that's been thrown around at this point, but he wouldn't be my first vote.

Palin was/is a buffoon. Cruz may be the smartest guy in Washington

Unfortunately, I have to agree. But I also feel that Rand Paul and Mike Huckabee are un-electable.

Jeb Bush can go frick himself as far as I'm concerned. G.W. (Daddy) was shitty - I really like George W. as a person - and he was not a bad president, he was simply too nice.

But Jeb ... Jeb can go frick himself.

I'm starting to like Scott Walker.

This

He is just too vocal about social issues and too antagonistic towards democrats. The MSM will easily be able to paint him as anti-gay, anti-women, anti-science, etc. and he'll be fricked.

I doubt we will ever elect a president who openly fights against gay marriage or actively opposes feminism again. It's just where our society is now.
