    I think Cruz could make a good POTUS, BUT
    At the moment his senority in the Senate is 54 out of a hundred - - after this years election, he might go 5-10 higher - and then in 2024 he could be in the top 30 and that would give him much more pull.

    Pence as the Senate has proved to be a poor birthplace for POTUSes

    I wonder which of the candidates has the best chance of winning the general election.

    Obama, Kennedy, LBJ, and Ford all came from the legislative branch.

    I believe governors (with the exception of Carter, of course) tend to be ideally suited for the Presidency.

    At least governors can justifiably say they have experience as an executive.

    In other words, they've actually run something comparable to the Presidency.

    And although we disagree with Clinton's Presidency, there's really no denying he was effective and successful in his own way,(unfortunately).

    One thing that really impressed me about Pence was how he handled himself during the Vice-presidential debates with Harris.

    His arguments were logical and well-reasoned.

    Also, I believe he did a really good job, not letting Harris "off the hook," whenever she made statements not supported by the facts.

    I would rather watch paint dry on an outhouse. Rino vs Communist. I will pass.

    Why do you think that Pence is a RINO?

    Because that sorry coward did not use his V.P. authority to contest the election fraud becoming certified.

    Brother, once the republicans legislatures in those key states certified their elections and appointed electors, the VP had no option but to follow the constitution.

    He did not have the authority to do what you wanted him to do. If you want to blame someone, look at repubs in key swing states that certified the results and appointed electors.

    Additionally, you might want to point blame at the people, including Trump, who said he had the authority as VP to challenge the results. He followed the constitution in the face of incredible pressure from his own pres. That takes courage.

    Pence may be a little “dry”, but he would be a good pres.

    peace to you
