I Don’t See A Phil Robertson In 2016 GOP Race

I haven’t made blog posts in a while, but here is my post about the 2016 Presidential Race.  Are you kidding me?  My choices on the democrat side is between a mobster and a proud socialist.  And on the republican side it is a choice between a big mouth and a husband of Goldman Sachs. 
Are there any presidential hopefuls who have military experience?  Oh Jim Webb, he dropped out of the race, he’s not progressive enough.  But the bone of contention who I have in this post, is about the Conservative talking heads and bloggers. 
Since the beginning of the Obama Regime, conservative print, on air, or online have called for a republican who is a ‘True Conservative’ and for the GOP Establishment to stop nominating RINOs (Republicans in Name Only).  It is not just voting conservatively, it is lifestyle, associations, that makes a republican labeled a RINO amongst conservatives.  Now the one public person who comes to mind who fits the description would be Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame.  But is Donald Trump or Ted Cruz a Phil Robertson type. 
Well Phil Robertson is a veteran, married with children and grandchildren.  A hunter who made his hobby into an entrepreneurship.  Trump has the business savvy, but is divorced four times as well as filing for bankruptcy four times.  Cruz has never ran a business, but is a family man.  However with Cruz, he wife is employed by Goldman Sachs. 
Every president in recent memory has had a Treasury Secretary who was once employed by Goldman Sachs.  Goldman Sachs is one of the companies who is in bed with the Federal Government.  This is one of the forms of cronyism, which is a different form of an economy than capitalism.  Yet Ted Cruz is a TEA Party darling, but has benefited from cronyism. 

So the question is, how can you demand for a perfect conservative when the leading GOP candidates is either a flip-flopping, 4-time divorcee, 4-times bankrupt businessman; the other is beneficiary of cronyism?  To me there is no republican who is comparable to Phil Robertson.  I would prefer a POTUS candidate who has military experience, supporter of free market capitalism, and a strict constitutionalists.  All of these presidential candidates are flawed.
