Senator Chuckles wants a "Reagan-like" candidate

Chuckles wants a "Reagan-like" candidate next year;

Iowa’s senior senator doesn’t think he’s alone in being undecided which of more than a dozen candidates he’d like to see on the ballot in 2016.

Even when he makes up his mind, Grassley doesn’t plan to endorse a candidate before the caucuses.

He’s looking for a candidate who is a good administrator, a leader, who limits himself or herself to four or five big issues, “somebody who sees the big picture (and) doesn’t get down in the weeds.”

“I’m kind of defining a Ronald Reagan,” Grassley said. “I don’t know who fits into that at this point.”.


What he doesn't get is that ol' Saint Ronnie would get teabagged right out of the party today.
