Ted Cruz stands heads and shoulders above the other Republican candidates, IMO. Unfortunately, it looks like Republicans are once again going to allow the national media and the RINOs who run the GOP choose another weak candidate. There are a few other good, conservative candidates in the race, including Bobby Jindal and Carly Fiorina, but I will not vote for another dud RINO candidate like Jeb Bush or Chris Christie - even if it means casting a third-party vote.

I like Dr. Ben Carson a lot. He is one of the most intelligent candidates in the race and he has a very impressive resume loaded with achievements and good deeds. I just do not believe that he has time to develop the political skills to make it through a political campaign against a ruthless criminal opponent like Hillary Clinton.

I like the fact that he isn't a politician. That's another thing I like about Trump. But Trump is such a meglamaniiac, I'm a little scared of him. I haven't seen any of that in Carson yet.
