If you recognize that your closet is not clean enough then you are clearly not stupid enough.

I personally found him charismatic AF but get why others didn't. Newt and McCain had the same problem but from more of an ugly ******* non-charismatic stance. I'd vote for any of those three. All are extremely competent. Rudy Giuliani was probably the only candidate in the last two cycles who could come close to matching Mitt on intelligence and ethics though. Too bad both ran at the wrong time.
I'm still convinced Mitt ran last go round as a favor to the party. Absolute trash of a field and no chance of R winning. He took one for the team.

I saw Romney as a potential winner and I believe he would have made a good president, but when the campaign got dirty he chose to stay above the fray. That decision (which is entirely consistent with who I perceive him to be) destroyed him. Mitt's loss gave me less hope than ever that I'm going to see the sort of president this country so desperately needs, at least in my lifetime.
Gingrich is a badass.

The framework of the constitution was designed for an educated and involved populous. That almost doesn't exist now.

Instead they vote for the candidate that tells them how much they're going to give them. Consequences be damned.
I'd say Rand Paul, he yells about it the most.

I think I would agree, he does bring it up at least. It's silly how the foundation this country was built on doesn't come to scene more often...

Donald Trump IMHO.
I think you both mean the most Constitutionalist candidate, not most pro-constitution.
Constitutionalists like Rand Paul don't give a damn about the actual constitution, only the portions/rulings they agree with (see the complaints about the supreme court for example).

i found him utterly non-charismatic. Romney was a bit of a robot. McCain simply didn't seem as 'sharp' as he once was.
But in the context of this question and this field of candidates am I wrong? If someone is only 35% pro constitution and everyone else is 25% pro constitution than that 35% guy, as poor at it as he may be, is still the most pro constitution. Even though he still doesn't really care about it.
If not Rand than who?
The media circus surrounding Donald Trump kinda reminds me of how people used to mock the idea of Arnold Schwarzenegger as a candidate for Governor of Calif.
But Arnold didn't alienate key voting groups like Trump is doing with women and Hispanics. Last polls I saw said Trump had a near 80% negative perception among Hispanic voters.
That is going to be killer in places like NV and FL which are swing states. Not to mention the slow creep of AZ towards swing state status.
I'm fairly certain every candidate is 100% pro-constitution. Except Trump. I get the feeling that guy is so completely bored with life that he's doing this for entertainment, or trying to give himself a heart attack. I hope he wins.
