Dog Who Won't Let Go of a Bone-Edness

Philosophically, Cruz, and probably Bolton seem solid. Although I honestly don't know as much about Bolton as I'd like, I like his style. Philosophy is not enough.

For dog who won't let go of a bone-edness, Gowdy.

But would we be assured that Gowdy or Cruz would be replaced by statesmen of equal character if they moved up?

The problem with Perry:

Right now, hands down, the most electable, most experienced with governing, and most like those guys on the dollar bills, and I'm not talking race like TFG was. Presidential. As long as he can stay off the pain meds and Letterman this time. (Could be he can never live down Letterman.)

But, just as GWB was like a release from Hell, after eight years of the rapist and the harridan in the White House, but then GW made some serious unconservative, nearly Nixonian decisions, I would likewise be concerned that Rick has too many vital holes in his conservatism, which could be exploited by the enemy, or into which he will stumble when we need hardcore Constitutionalism.

If I could be persuaded that Perry has tea-partied up heavily,

... was serious not just show-acting on the border, and upgraded his immigration thinking,

...and maybe heard him declare outright he was dead wrong about his pharmacy pals' statewide schoolgirls vaccination program, not to be "bringing up old $#!+",

...then, I'd put Perry FAR out ahead of everybody, in electability and in effectiveness in office.

Perry / Palin 2016 - let the head splodeyness begin!
