Alot of voters in this country are uninformed and vote on perception, not substance or competence. IF Jeb is the nominee, he will be paralelled to G.W. Bush and THAT will be difficult to overcome. If I had my pick I'd like to see Ben Carson elected. In terms of Donald Trump, he would be better than H. Clinton, but his policies are far from conservative. He is a big government guy that is running on the Republican ticket.

Carson is a good man but has made some gun comments over the years that I am uneasy with. Granted you will never agree with someone on everything but the gun issue is huge for me. I'm still waiting and watching. Trump has some balls and that's good. I like the F you if you don't like it honesty he has. If he was the choice I think he could pull a lot of indy and lbrtrn votes.
