Sounds like you have some ideas here - who's your money on? Cruz?

  Cruz could win the nom but he'd never get elected.

    Doesn't matter. Although every party wants the Presidency, I've been hearing from grass-grass roots Republicans and fellow travelers that they've figured out they don't need the Presidency, all they want is to get things done. It's easier with the Presidency, but if they can accomplish what they want without then great. The President is just a number on the scoreboard. It makes some things easier, but it isn't the goal. So the primaries and final campaign, for Republicans, becomes a soapbox rather than a serious effort. (And man it shows, doesn't it?)

      That's the thing, if you want to balance the budget all you have to do is prevent the government from borrowing more and it balances itself.

        No, you have to block spending, not the debt ceiling. Have the debate on the actual policy. The ceiling is a dupe var out of sync.

  The field looks still full of fail. It seems really hopeless situation with the Republicans. Either they are people of conviction that can I only support in certain areas (e.g. Cruz) or corporate shills that would have mainstream appeal (e.g.Christie).
