Who is your dream candidate that isn't running?

[dudeabides]

Justin Amash or Jon Huntsman.

How are you a Democrat?

Rudy Giuliani

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.

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.

It amazes me how naive you neo-cons could actually be. Apparently if you are a non-interventionist, you hate war. Lol explain Robert A. Taft, Reagan, and Goldwater then.

It amazes me how stupid Paulbots are when it comes to foreign policy considering how right they are on the Federal Reserve. Everyone should hate war. The foreign policy of the GOP and the one I believe in does not police the world, but it does mean America should have a leadership role in advocating (but not forcing) for freedom and capitalism, supporting those who seek freedom and capitalism, and above all else defend our security interests globally and here at home. War is always a last resort. It has become fashionable for libertarians to call real Republicans "neo-cons" because it sounds bad.

You know, being hawkish vs. dovish on foreign policy isn't this nice simple thing that you can neatly place on a left-right spectrum.  You're literally the only person who thinks about it that way.  The Pauls don't view themselves as "liberal" on foreign policy issues, they view themselves as continuing the Old Right tradition of non-interventionism.  Hardly liberal.  I don't share their views, but it's pretty ignorant to assert that they're "RINOs" or "leftist."  Don't even get me started on your nonsensical assertions that Republicans can be "RINOs" for supporting "corporate welfare," a policy that the RNC very much supports.

As for the OP, Brian Sandoval.

[Progressive]

A more liberal Andrew Cuomo for president and Luis Gutierrez for Vice President

[tmthforu94]

Mitt Romney - true strength for America's future. It's time to believe in America again.

[Leinad]

Justin Amash

I'm already thinking of making Justin Amash 202X T-shirts (replacing the "X" with 0 or 4). My favorite active politician since Ron Paul retired.

[Clark Kent]

Probably Jon Huntsman.

As for past candidates, either Barry Goldwater or Ronald Reagan if they weren't dead.

[mvd10]

Romney, Portman, Sandoval, Huntsman and Haslam. If I really had to choose a ticket it would be Huntsman/Sandoval or Huntsman/Portman.

[exopolitician]

Elizabeth Warren
Sharrod Brown
Russ Feingold (I'm glad he's running for Senate again though)
