Select all you would be happy with as the republican nominee for president in 2016. Please only vote if you are not a democrat and would potentially vote republican in the 2016 presidential race. Also please add other names I missed in the thread.
Adding poll, please be patient.

I voted other.... At the moment it is a little early to consider. From my view, neither party has a viable candidate at this time.
Good day to ya' Redress

Some other Republicans I might consider voting for president are Governor, Susana Martinez, NM Governor, perhaps John Kasich the Ohio Governor, Senator Lamar Alexander, TN, ex IN governor Mitch Daniels. But going by just those on your list, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and perhaps Rubio. Huntsman intrigues me in an intriguing sort of way.
There was only 10 poll spots, so I had to limit it somewhat. I forgot my buddy Herman Caine, who of all the candidates last election is the one I would most like to meet and sit down and chat with.
I bet that would be interesting, the godfather of Godfathers Pizza. At least he came up with a plan on the deficit, perhaps his numbers were way off, but his 9-9-9 plan did catch my attention. I think I would like to pick the brain of John Huntsman, after all he speaks fluent Chinese.

I'm a Green, but Ron Paul always makes sense. The same can't be said for the fruit of his loins.
Politically I have no use for Caine, but he was the only candidate who somehow came off as likable to me. You could imagine putting politics aside, getting him telling stories and being fascinated and entertained.
Rand Paul. We need someone who values liberty over a police state.
And as far as Chris Christie goes, we don't need the morbidly obese president dying in office from a heart attack.
I couldn't help but notice only one total whacko on the list. Where's Palin? Bauchmann?
You're speaking about whackos but asking about Bachman? Ironic. That same lady who claimed she was Tea party leader but really wasn't...and got hit by the backlash. Bachman learned...hijacking the Tea Party doesn't work....

I'm not a Republican, but I plan to vote Republican in 2016 so long as they field a decent candidate. To secure my vote, that candidate will have to (In no particular order):
A. Have a little swagger (not stiff like Romney was),
B. show competency on foreign policy matters (why I'm not voting for a libertarian),
C. Focus on economy,
D. stay away from focusing on controversial social issues
E. Show core leadership skill/credentials
F. Promise to roll back big Federal government
G. Not have a Bush surname
These prerequisites go out the window if:
a. Another Clinton runs (I hate the thought of oligarchy)
b. The democratic candidate totally ignores our budget crisis.
If these conditions aren't met, then I'll probably just stay home so I can say I wasn't part of the problem.

Yeah, that's true. But it hardly seems fair to put Cruz out there all by himself as the stand alone whacko.
When will the GOP learn that being hijacked by the Tea Party won't work either?
