    If you had to pick the best Republican candidate to be the next President of the United States who would it be? By best I do not mean for the party but for the country.

    From the ones running?

          Sorry - I cant do it. I find everyone of them to have such major detrimental flaws that would damage the entire country.

            Maybe we can be neighbors in Canada.

              Those folks are called RINO's and chased off for being impure. No John Huntsman this time around.

                That was my intent, but I would also be interested in those that are not running.

                  Yeah, Huntsman was my guy last time. I think this time around it would be Kasich or maybe Pataki. Though man did I hate Pataki as governor of NY.

                    Of course you can, everyone in Canada is everyone else's neighbour!!!

                    It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

The problem is that most of them have extremely vague economic plans and all they've rolled out is their intention to cut taxes for the wealthy while "trimming the fat" or some other equally vague nonsense. Jim Gilmore and Lincoln Chafee appear, at least at a glance, to have an economic plan that rises above the admittedly low bar set by their Republican colleagues.

                      Several of the big players on the Republican side are actively campaigning under the guise of eliminating regulations for big banks. What. The. Fuck. How could anyone vote for someone like that? Looking at you, Rubio, you schmuck.
                      You realize Chafee switched parties?

                          Timely.

                          Four years ago this month, I took a look at the field of Republican candidates for the office of President of the United States and ranked them, from the one I would be least likely to vote for to …

                            Thanks...I wouldn't vote for any of the GOP field and honestly, i can't think of any current Republican I'd vote for. Maybe....well no I can't think of one I'd pick. Another vote for Canada because you know...2015

                              Huntsman was the name that first came to my mind.
