[MR2]

I have trained assets now working within three of the presidential campaigns. State directors and/or higher level as well as the RNC at the national level.

In no particular order and guaranteed to change.

Paul: Has had three campaign staff under investigation/indicted within the past year. Over a million dollar payoff in Iowa. I would think that a candidate would notice a million dollars going out of his fund... One who would have been indicted had the good sense to die a year ago. Interesting incident related to this. Someone approached the parents of the deceased and offered a high dollar get away at a swank resort in remembrance of their son. While away, someone broke into their home and stole (only) the deceased sons laptop. That being said - anyone could have done this. The money trail for the resort is well hidden. The campaign could have done this. An opposition campaign could have done this. Either party could have done this (I suspect Billy). Just to make things look bad or to release any information that may/may not be there. He remains in my top five at this time.

Walker: He is pushing his conservative credentials really hard. Lots of grassroots conservatives really like him for all the 'great' things he did in Wisconsin. he did do great things - but they were the 'safe' great things. The 'easy' great things. He refused to do the things that would have brought him some real heat. Like passing Constitutional Carry in his state. He could have done it and he refused to do it. Truly breaking the union. he did knock the union down several times as they went after him. But he never went after the union. He just took their attacks and withstood them. He could have gotten Right to Work passed in his state. He refused. He is at the bottom of my top five.

Carson: Impressive man. What a great choice for a cabinet position. He should show that he can get elected (run a significant campaign somewhere before running as President) first and hire folks that know what they are doing. He is not in my top five.

Trump: RNC is really worried about him. The bigger the RINO the bigger the attack. Plus everything I said about Carson.

Cruz: He is in my top five.

Fiorena: Former HP employees like her about as much as Indians like Jackson. She does not have the money or the team to play at this level. She has run for significant office and is acceptable to me. She is in my top five.

Kasick: Of the RINOs, I like him the most. He is not in my top five.

There is no #3 in my top five...



I will vote third party if a non-conservative is nominated.



I mean both meanings of the word trained.



IMHO, YMMV, batteries not included.
