After watching the CNN Town Hall last night, I am not so worried about Rubio's inexperience. He has a lot more than I expected, including being Florida's Speaker of the House. He spoke of two bills he's working on with two different democrats, so I feel he can work better to get us out of this hyper-partisan gridlock with nothing ever getting done.
Most important, he can beat Hillary. Cruz is too hostile and ailienating.

A vote for Cruz could be a wasted vote because the minute he is nominated, there will be lawsuits with the proper standing. I just came across a very solid reasoning on why he is not: Harvard Law professor: Cruz is ineligible - Business Insider

As you may know, Cruz wants the US to be a Christian nation: Ted Cruz's campaign is fueled by a dominionist vision for America (COMMENTARY) - Religion News Service Like is Islam, he wants to see church and state as one in the same. He is a part of a group that wants to ready the world for the Second Coming of Christ, not focus on our country but the visions that play out in his head about who he is, an "anointed" one as pronounced by his father. These people believe in the execution of homosexuals and claim it is God's will. Given power, all of this could get very ugly and destroy our country. They are bat-poop crazy.

As you see from the current news, Cruz has played some really dirty tricks. Some will say that he is just a politician BUT he has made a play for evangelical Christians so he raised the bar for himself. Look at Cruz, ask yourself "is that what Jesus would do".

For those that would approve of the killing of homosexuals, you must realize that woud be the first group to go. When you are scapegoating you take out one group only to find that didn't make things better so next you look for the source of the problem, take out another group..............and so on and so forth.

Cruz is extremely cold and cruel.

Rubio appears to be at least honest and fair. I gained new respect for him in the last debate. I think his faith is obvious in his actions. I had yet to see him say anything that was a lie or just down right cruel.

Although Trump is my 1st choice, I would love to see a ticket with Trump/Rubio.

I would vote for Hillary before I would vote for Cruz. That is a HUGE statement considering what I think of her these days.

Don't be fooled by Cruz, he doesn't sit at the hand of God but of the hand of Satan.

Why am I not seeing that in Cruz? I thought he did great last night. I wanted to go to a rally for him tomorrow. He and Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty will be there.

I did notice Rubio would repeat the same statements as he did during the debate. It made him seem rehearsed.

I have to edit this^^ as I just watched the last part of Cruz which I missed last night due to interruption, and I have to say he cleared up some things I was concerned about and did a good job answering some tough questions. I also was concerned at how he shows Rubio not honest about his stance on illegal immigration and that concerns me on Rubio, as illegal immigration is big for me.
So I'm still tossed between Rubio and Cruz.

Ok then what makes you think he will help the average American once he is elected? Because he says so? He admits he has lied to make himself richer and more powerful. Why not keep playing the game and make himself richer? Trump is not known for being very charitable.

I don't agree with the first part of your post. I think these so called lawsuits will go nowhere if they take place, but I agree with the rest of your post.

Cruz is dangerous. He should follow his father's steps and become a pastor. He does not belong in the White House

I went to a Catholic school and I consider myself a Christian now. Definitely had some struggles with my faith, but I do have a personal relationship with Jesus.

This said, I don't want anybody overly religious to be the president. Ted should be running for High Priest of America.

I agree he sound's too polished like he rehearsed his lines.... Watch him last night on CNN, reminds me of past electrons - All Talk, No Action...... He has learned to talk like a politician, he lacks experience....

People are tried of the way Government is run, they do not want four more years of the last eight years.

My first vote is Trump, with Bernie as a back up......
