Well name your candidate. Cruz is wash out anyway.
My candidate is Sherrod Brown or Bernie Sanders because both are honest.
Name yours!
OK let's go. I'm going along with your request even though it's not entirely clear to me how we debate candidates. Seems like we should be discussing issues ... like immigration, fiscal policy, foreign policy or something like that.
As you are no doubt aware, the Republican field is wide open with only one serious person even hinting a possible run and a few declared nobodies with no chance. So far, the ones I like include Scott Walker and Ben Carson. There are people I'd like to see run ... like Mitch Daniels ... but they won't consider it.
I guess I shouldn't have been surprised that your two choices would be a Senator listed as being tied for most liberal in Congress along with the only registered Socialist in Congress. But it does tell us just how far left you are.
Surely you would agree that both your choices are quite a ways out of the mainstream of American thinking. Do you believe that either of them would stand a chance of being elected? If Brown's name was Sharon instead of Sherrod he might stand a chance. The Dems think it's a woman's turn and it would seem that there actually is a v****g block out there who consider g****r to be a qualification. This is the man who threw the monkey wrench in Obama's plan to install Larry Summers as the new Fed chief by lining up 20 colleagues to sign a letter expressing support for Janet Yellen. He is brazenly anti-free trade and unbendingly pro-union. In 2012, he put a sign outside the Ohio Democratic Party headquarters proclaimed: Only vehicles assembled by union workers in North America are welcome in this parking lot. Browns older daughter Emily is a union organizer for SEIU. His base is in the extreme left and he would stand little chance of earning many independent v**es and no chance of earning any conservative v**es. Ranked as the leftmost senator in 2009 and 2010 by National Journal, Sherrod has a lifetime 7.77 rating from the American Conservative Union. What sort of v****g history puts someone to the left of Dianne Feinstein and Harry Reid? His most recent v**es include v****g for New START, the DREAM Act, and Craig Beckers appointment to the NLRB. He v**ed against an earmark moratorium, D.C. school choice, death tax repeal, and a fence on the southern border. He also v**ed for Obamas stimulus, Cash for Clunkers, Obamacare, and Eric Holders confirmation as Attorney General. He v**ed against medical malpractice reform, D.C. school choice, and de-funding ACORN. He v**ed for more risky Fannie & Freddie lending, two separate $4 billion Fannie & Freddie bailouts, the auto industry bailout, TARP, and a tax hike on energy companies. He v**ed against missile defense, an earmark moratorium, and a discretionary spending cap.
If he has any executive experience at all I'm not aware of it. Doesn't it seem like that would be a good thing for somebody seeking the most important executive job in the world? There's so much more that shows that this man stands no chance of getting the Democrat nomination, let alone winning the presidency. I have a few things to do and them I'll come back and talk about the Socialist Sanders.
