Carson seems too socially conservative for Paul.

You do realize there's no chance Paul would ever pick Cruz to be his running mate, right?

And Biden is an idiot. It's about pulling in votes. Carson would make a lot of people happy.

I like Dr. Ben and all, but no way he's ready for prime time.

I could easily see him as Surgeon General in a Republican administration.

Of all the candidates, I could see him being the most effective at convincing people in the middle that the media's negative narrative concerning the GOP candidate is false. Imo, that's a huge factor, too, because the media uses their considerable clout to portray the conservative candidate in a negative way every time.

Romney was his own worst enemy disavowing everything he'd done as governor of Massachusetts (Romneycare, pro-choice, pro-gay rights, pro-gun control, etc.). Do you remember the etch-a-sketch quote?

quote:

That was my biggest problem with Romney. He almost never fought back. You have to fight back. In Paul's case, I think the more people see of him, the more they will like him. Who knows? His candidacy just might cause a lot of generally unaware people to wake up to the truth about the extent of media bias in this country.

Paul is the only Republican who can credibly attack Hillary from the left.

LBJ was a southern Protestant who added to the ticket. What would Cruz add to a Paul ticket? The South will be out of reach for Hillary regardless of who Paul runs with.

Agreed. No republican is going to win for a while. Hillary is up next for 8 more years of democrat control.


Not ready to concede that. The team looks weak, and the bench doesn't look to promising.
