Cruz may or may not run. I have this feeling that Carson maybe their guy. Granted a large portion of the Republican Party are racist MFs, but nominating him versus loosing with some guy like Cruz (or any other assclown) seems like a better bet. Carson might be able to draw some indies and Ds whereas Cruz wouldn't have much of a chance.
