Quote:  One major reason why I'm at least cautiously optimistic of Ted Cruz beating out Marco Rubio if it comes down to the two of them is this seems like an anti-establishment Presidential Election Cycle.  Though I agree with rocdee that Fox News favored Marco Rubio last night in the way they presented their election coverage,  this year that might not be enough to stop an anti-establishment candidate emerging as the Republican nominee.   As a result,  I remain greatly concerned that Donald Trump still has a very realistic chance of winning the nomination.

 

Rand is my guy but I'll jump on the Cruz wagon if needed. I can find common ground as a libertarian with Cruz on 80% of the issues. His foreign policy is what gives me pause but hell I'm just hyper-focused on not collapsing the freaking dollar in the next 10 years. 

 

The ONLY appeal Bernie has to libertarians is his non-intervention foreign policy statements and his anit-NSA statements about domestic spying. He is absolutely 100% unelectable because of his openly socialist domestic policies and would possibly be the worse possible candidate for the economy ever but he talks a good game on foreign policy and domestic civil liberties.

 

I could list something I like about each candidate but that doesn't mean I could or would ever vote for them. I have to think long and hard of a scenario I would vote for Bernie, I guess if i just gave up and wanted to take the quick death of an economic collapse so I could use that handy bunker out back?
