Ron Paul obviously. Justin Amash is a close second.

How are you a Democrat?

It would be great for Paul to obliterate Rudy. Like father, like son

Actually, the Rudy Giuliani Vs. Ron Paul exchange in South Carolina was one of my favorite debate moments ever. Giuliani completely owned Paul and exposed him for the leftist and ignoramus he is, and the crowd absolutely loved Giuliani.

Bernie was the dream but if I have to pick one that isn't running, it'd be between Liz Warren and Sherrod Brown.

Here are a few I would have considered supporting if they had run: Jim DeMint, Tim Scott, Marsha Blackburn, Bill Haslam, Mike Pence, Sam Brownback, Joni Ernst, Tom Cotton.  Yes, I know that some of them would have had no chance. 

I also have a few friends who are involved in politics, but too young to run for president that would easily have my support!

Jon Huntsman and Brian Sandoval come to mind immediately. I supported Huntsman in 2012 and likely would again had he chosen to run this year or chooses to run in 2020/2024.

All due respect, citing DICK MORRIS is probably the last thing you want to do to support your argument.

Obviously my man Jon Huntsman, but now is not his time. I'd like to see him elected to the Senate in 2018, build a strong record, and run in 2024 to suceed Hillary.

Sherrod Brown. I mean Sanders is pretty good, but he hasn't won 4 times statewide in Ohio.

Yeah, especially if we shaved ~10 years off him age wise.

It is widely understood that Paul ended his career. Giuliani even admits Paul won the debates. You and your neo-con friends lost

I've never heard Rudy admit that. Anyway, I didn't say Giuliani won the debate, I just said he owned Ron Paul in that exchange. The candidates in 2008 took turns destroying Ron Paul's arguments, Giuliani happened to be the best at it.

Ron Paul won 5% of the GOP primary vote in 2008 and 10% in 2012. He was rejected by Republican voters, both conservative and moderate. This is due to the fact that while he might be right on some issues, he cares more about the civil rights of terrorists than the security of American citizens. People like Ron Paul should move out of the country if they hate our foreign policy, and thus our values, so much.

This totally won't remind people of the Bush 43 years. Tongue

That would be amazing. Although, the problem is that Huntsman and Hillary appeal to pretty much the same swath of independents - foreign policy wonks and domestic moderates - and he'd probably have some issues with the whole "new ideas, and refreshing change" bit of the GOP primary after 16 years of Democrats.

I'd say that Bernie Sanders is very close to my dream candidate. I wouldn't have minded Jerry Brown entering the race though.
