A social conservative like Huck or Santorum or Cruz will never be president of this country. Their ideas are on the road to extinction, while libertarianism is rising.

Anybody who is sold on voting for Santorum, Cruz or Huckabee either need to re-evaluate if they want to win the White House with a GOP controlled Senate (hopefully) & House. Because if they give it to anybody but Rand they basically are taking away any SERIOUS chance.

There are more socons than libertarians in the GOP, but a majority of GOPers could hold their nose and vote libertarian** - a majority will never support a socon.

**the right kind of libertarian, who plays his cards just right

Cruz could win if the Hispanics block vote for him.
