My Republican Presidential Primary ballot arrived today

And I'm undecided about who to vote for. So here is your chance to convince me. Tell me who you support and one sentence about why.

None of the childish "Shrillery," "Barry," "Fat Man" references please. It's hard to take those posts seriously.

If you are even considering voting for DT, I can't help you. If he is not under consideration, I'd take a hard look at Kasich. I believe he can attract some Democrats, and would be tough in the very key state of Ohio.
None of the above.
Paul Ryan - I know he is not on the ballot, but he would get my vote.

Here is my advice for Republicans. Go with Trump. Get all the other candidates to concede after Super Tuesday. Don't give Trump a single dollar in donations or PAC money. He claims to want to self fund anyway. Then, take all those millions and millions of dollars that would otherwise be used to stretch out the primaries or to attack Hillary to help fund Republican Senate and House candidates....with the objective of obtaining a veto proof majority.

The Democrats are left trying to defend against the Donald Juggernaut and this massive new campaign war chest for congress. If Trump wins, he still has to sell the Republican Congress on legislation. If Hillary wins, the Veto Proof congress can override where necessary and pass legislation for which there is overwhelming support.

This avoids the expensive, messy, prolonged losing primary battle where all your candidates (including House and Senate) end up losing...and allocates all the campaign money (except for The Donald's) to expanding your congressional majority.

Of course another strategy is to just vote for the candidate who most closely reflects your philosophy or who you think would do the best job...regardless of any other consideration.

The "Tim Cook" on the ballot is not the CEO of Apple.

He is just a guy from North carolina who has managed to get on the ballot in a few States.
"Tim Cook, a candidate from North Carolina, bemoaned the fact that not all candidates for president are included in most national polls.
'Someone is cherry-picking the candidates for voters, and that's un-American,' Cook said, adding that he had done his own poll on Twitter, and found that he would have beaten Hillary Clinton."

[Mr. Cook actually appears in the video on the CNN website, above.]

Apparently all it takes to get on the ballot in New Hampshire is $1000.
Don't bother voting. Get used to the 2016 Republican presidential nominee: Donald Trump.
