I sorry..I voted for Rand Paul given the list..BUT I can't vote..so please OP remove my vote..TYIA~~ It didn't stipulate in poll nor in initial post..so I apologize
Rand Paul has the best shot of anyone on that list. He didn't fall off the lunatic tree and hit every branch on the way down as hard as the other two.
Ted Cruz is known as the showboater who decided to crash government and risk default on bills in order to pick a fight that everyone knew was unwinnable. Not a person to be taken seriously.
Carson thinks it's a smart idea to go around calling the president a psychopath in media interviews and thinks being gay is a choice because of what some people in prison might do. Not a person to be taken seriously.

Only by the Liberal insane asylum. There was never a risk of default.
How about none of the above? I have been a life long conservative and none of these guys are conservatives. They are libertarian, almost to being anarchists, who have hidden within the Republican Party because if they went with their true party they couldn't get elected. The true conservative Republican Party has been taken over by an extreme Libertarian wing who uses the RINO tag against everyone who doesn't agree with them.
Bottom line is Bush is damaged goods due to his brother, none of these three clowns is qualified to be President, so if the party keeps heading this way, the only thing going for us true conservatives is the Democrats would run Hillary. Lord, think of that election choice -- Cruz or Hillary? How do you even begin to pick the lesser of two evils there?

Conservative means less government. How are Cruz and Paul not conservative?

See, there's part of the problem. Conservative does not mean less government. Conservative means effective government under the Constitution. Doing those things the government is supposed to do to protect the rights of the individuals. Which includes protecting individuals from those who would do them harm. Which also includes the states, as a whole, so that one individual, or group does not dominate, to the detriment of the other states.
Cruz does not care one bit about the rights of the individuals. He and Paul are much closer to the anarchists view of no government restrictions in the land of do as you please, where the strongest dominate.
Look at it this way:
A socialist believes equality means bring everyone down to the lowest common denominator.
A liberal believes equality means equal outcomes.
A conservative believes everyone has equal opportunity, but the outcome is up to them.
A libertarian believes "I got mine, the heck with everyone else."
