I will send money and support to whoever of the candidates on that stage that win the nomination, except Rand Paul. And why he is still on the main stage, I have no earthly idea.
I think this pool of candidates is good enough that some of them that don't win the nomination will still wind up on a republican president's cabinet.

All depends on how they win it. If Trump wins the vote but the GOPe turn the convention into a floor fight and have the establishment elect one of the others I will vote third party.
But if it's above board I will support the one who wins the vote, delegates and nomination.

I predict a Democratic candidate will be sitting in the Oval Office perpetually.

Lookin' like a Trump/Cruz ticket...

The problem with a Trump Cruz ticket is the VP is usually a pick to broaden the main candidates appeal. I feel Trump Cruz is not going to put a dent into Hillary's pool and won't draw the more moderate Repubs to the polls. Trump would be smarter picking Bernie Sanders, Kanye West, or... Marco Rubio. I'd pick Tulsi Gabbard if I wanted to win.

A Trump/Cruz is difficult, I can't picture Cruz settling for the VP. That said, and as Dusty commented, a year is a long time for both Trump and Cruz, either one could turn their numbers around. But don't rule out Fiorina, she could solve a lot of republican image problems and would be powerful running mate for Trump or Cruz.

Next summer, they should just take the two right-wingers with the best numbers, match 'em up, and steamroll the pinkos, then clear the objective.

I like her. She isn't getting a lot of traction, and she has some possible baggage from her HP days, but she appears as capable a leader as any person on the stage. If she doesn't win the nomination, she would make a hell of a secretary of state. I would hate to have to debate her.

I concur.
Although as was brought up previously about a Trump/Cruz ticket, I could really see a Trump/Fiorina ticket as being a better deal.

There are only three viable candidates now. Waste of time to talk about the others.

I'm slowly starting to warm to Trump, especially as he dials down the heated rhetoric and is concentrating on solving real issues.
I don't think Cruz as a running mate would be beneficial. (Too many cooks in the kitchen). I think a more powerful ticket for the overall electorate would be Trump/Carson. More of a balanced ticket, and may be why they aren't bickering against each other....much.
That being said, I also have partial selectees for my dream cabinet to support returning to Administration sanity.... some of whom would be retreads.
WH Communications Director: Ben Shapiro
WH Press Sec: Brett Baier
National Security Advisor: KT McFarland
Dept of State: Condi Rice (Retread), or Carli Fiorina
Dept of Defense: Rick Perry, or Tulsi Gabbard (Dem)
Homeland Security: Alan West
Justice: Trey Gowdy
Treasury: Stephen Moore
Energy: Doug Lamborn
Veteran Affairs: Oliver North
Interior: Sarah Palin
EPA: Bobby Jindal
1st SCOTUS Nominee: Andrew Napolitano
Critical Ambassadors:
UN: John Bolton (retread)
ISRAEL: Joe Lieberman
UK: Rep Todd Young
China: John Huntsman (Retread)
Others may opine differently!
