Jeff asked:
Stronger? Like who? Ted Cruz?
What does the word mean? Harder to the extreme right?
When the Republican primary clown car arrived in 2012, the only one I thought could appeal to more than far-righters and died-in-the-wool Republicans was Jon Huntsman. He said he believed in science and stuff, so he never got his moment in the sun.
I don't see Ted Cruz as someone who could win the general election. And though he will have big money behind him, I really can't see him winning the primary. He hasn't made many (elected) friends in DC. He brings nothing but the Tea Baggers, as far as I can see, and I don't think that's enough.
Governors Scott Walker and Chris Christie look too tainted to take seriously.
Scott Brown? An empty suit. Rick Perry? An empty hat.
I think President Obama appointed Jon Huntsman to some position. Maybe he has picked up enough creds to make another try.
Who do you think might be their best pick?
