i was a big bobby jindal guy... so i was sorry to see him drop. but... when you aren't getting the support, it can be tough to stay in.
i like cruz plenty. i'm not sure america is ready for him. i'm also not sure he's ready for america. so that's a little scary. trump? he's more interested in winning the presidency than being president, so while i'd suffer a trump presidency, i'm not looking forward to it. i liked ben carson and carly as well. rand is ok and i liked him just fine, but for some reason he's never been able to grab traction. personally, i think after the kent sorenson/igo/aaron dorr debacle and jumping races four years ago that the entire paul following felt betrayed and they haven't really been energized since. i don't blame them either. they got the shaft... bush and christie are colossal jokes. they're the equivalent of romney and mccain - establishment toads. so i'm glad they didn't even register worth considering. kasich is a moderate too, so he never blew my skirt up. i did figure huck and santorum would rate higher, but didn't. huck is fine overall. actually santorum i felt was a great candidate. and actually he was my favorite from years ago, but he was so butt hurt about what happened four years back, that he didn't even bother working the state. what kind of president would he be if he can't handle being given shaft by little ol' iowa when you're facing a few billion chinese or russians, you know?
rubio straddles the line between establishment and conservative, so i think he's a rising star and probably somebody lots of guys will toss money into later in the race. he's the guy i'd be on the look out for...
last minute emergency kept me home last night. but unless somebody made a passionate speech that turned me another direction, i was planning on stumping for cruz. this is the first of these i'd planning on going to that i hadn't completely made my mind up on yet...
overall, i'm satisfied with what i saw for results. the only one i thought would get more pull was fiorina. she was one of the few that put forwarding serious plans on the front end when everyone else was telling us all what we wanted to hear. she's a sharp person...
either way, 'sall good...
