With a Republican majority Supreme Court, Cruz will become president if he gets the nomination and wins the election. However, extremists such as Cruz are seldom nominated. A usually accurate poll shows the following: "A new Bloomberg Politics/Saint Anselm New Hampshire poll shows Jeb Bush has taken a slight lead over other potential Republican presidential candidates. When asked who they would vote for if the 2016 New Hampshire presidential primary were held today, 16 percent of respondents picked the former Florida governor. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky was second with 13 percent, Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin followed with 12 percent, and Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey earned 10 percent." I would think it will be either Jeb Bush or Scott Walker, the candidate favored by big business because he defeated a union; the Wisconsin Teachers Union. Of those two, I would pick Walker since Bushs conservatism is suspect in many right wing republicans minds. Gerry P.S. Cruz got only 5% in a Quinnipiac pole compared to Walkers 17%. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: https://server.secureplusplusfour.net:2083/cpsess595060604/3rdparty/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
