Cruz would get the Republican party's ass kicked in a general election. You can't be that socially conservative anymore and win. Rubio would appeal to some minority crowds and moderates and maybe even some liberals. He might have a chance but no way the right wing voters come out in droves to vote for him.
Trump, however, is the only one that I think can legitimately win, which absolutely blows me away.
The best thing that could happen is if Bernie wins the nomination and then it will be an absolute domination.
Yep. Dead on.
This was also a fun one from 2008. This is why I always get a chuckle out of people claiming Palin is so ignorant and then seeing this stuff.
Come on you really think ignorance is limited to race, gender or political affiliation?
Hell it's not even limited to political candidates.
"But obviously, we've got to stand with our North Korean allies." --Sarah Palin, after being asked how she would handle the current hostilities between the two Koreas, interview on Glenn Beck's radio show, Nov.24, 2010
Cruz would get the Republican party's ass kicked in a general election.
In a national election against Sanders, Cruz would win at least 40 states.
Chuckled.
The media treatment of Cruz would be on a whole different level from anything we've ever seen in a general.
IMO, Bernie's *best* chance for winning the general would be to face Cruz or maybe even Carson.
two things Bernie and Cruz have in common: (1) They're radical by general election standards, and (2) voters know they're radical by general election standardsjust reading that line is good enough for a laugh
SMHPolicy wise, Trump is the closest candidate to Sanders.
I don't know how anyone can support any of these candidates. How in the heck did we go from George Washington to this group of morons? Oh yeah, money.I swear, I don't know how ANYONE can support Hilary.

Money equals power. Own the wealth and own the power.I disagree, it is "power". but money does buy power.
Same thing is said every election cycle. Everyone wants the perfect candidate and they do not exist.I don't know how anyone can support any of these candidates. How in the heck did we go from George Washington to this group of morons? Oh yeah, money.
It's not even about perfect candidates. These guys aren't even competent. It goes beyond on that though. Every four years we think we have a say in how this country is going to be ran. That's not the case at all. We have zero influence on policy. Every candidate in this pool has millions of dollars backing them. Those people expect something in return. Whoever gets elected, it will be their constituents who benefit the most. If the American people want to get anything accomplished it has to be an on going continuous effort. You can't show up at the voter's booth every four years, push a button, and call that democracy. If you want change then it starts at the bottom and it never stops until things happen.Same thing is said every election cycle. Everyone wants the perfect candidate and they do not exist.

two things Bernie and Cruz don't have in common: (1) People on both sides of the aisle only consider one of them to be trustworthy, and (2) only one of them is supported by their party's establishment.
Well, it's all crazy, but the themes are different. The great struggle of our time is with Islamism. Obama Sr. was Muslim. All the birther stuff relates to paranoia about that. It'd be like someone running for President in 1940 whose father was from Nazi Germany. Cuba and Canada invoke none of that. This is just political gotcha stuff.....
Ted Cruz isn't a moron, but he's too damn unlikable.
I thought Newt Gingrich had some great ideas, but he has the same problem as Cruz. Utter doucheyness
Pat Robertson, I mean Ted Cruz, is probably pretty intelligent in some regards. He did go to Princeton and Harvard so that has to count for something, right?
He champions reaganomics so he must not be too astute.I dont doubt at all that Obama is a muslim sympathizer. He may even be muslim. I really dont even care. What I think is really ridiculous was his attempt to portray himself as some sort of evangelical christian during the elections. Its clearly a lie, and just par for the course for the typical politician.
Incredibly unlikable, for me.
I think he went to Harvard, was a national debate/moot court champion, and clerked at the SCOTUS. Hes incredibly intelligent and shrewd.
Dershowitz taught at Harvard Law from '64 to '15 (I think), so I'm sure he saw quite a bit of brain power in that time. He said that in those 51 years, there were two students that distinguished themselves with brilliance above all others, and Cruz was one of the two. So "probably pretty intelligent in some regards" sells him a good bit short.Pat Robertson, I mean Ted Cruz, is probably pretty intelligent in some regards.

How am I selling him a bit short? I said in some regards. I think you actually confirmed my statement. He is intelligent when it comes to law or at least whatever particular type of law this professor instructed. My physics professor said I was his best student. Doesn't mean shit really. Just that I was good at physics. Cruz might be a whiz at constitutional law. Still doesn't change the fact that he has said some pretty absurd things in his brief political career. Maybe he's just dishonest and not dumb? Considering most fact checking websites rank him as the most dishonest.Dershowitz taught at Harvard Law from '64 to '15 (I think), so I'm sure he saw quite a bit of brain power in that time.

If he was the nominee, you wouldn't hear that anecdote or anything like it that reflected favorably on Cruz.
which is why it's obvious that he's FOS and a charlatan of the highest order.Dershowitz taught at Harvard Law from '64 to '15 (I think), so I'm sure he saw quite a bit of brain power in that time.

May be wrong but think that hurts the Dems more than Trump.Bloomberg preparing possible Presidential run as an Independent.
Much higher odds that Obama is atheist instead of Muslim.
you'd think, Bloom is known for being a gun grabber & limiting freedom by making it illegal to buy a large soda. That kind of government massing power over people is 2016 Democrats true & true. However, another egotistical megalomaniac billionaire in the race would poison the well for both he & Trump, letting Hill slip in.May be wrong but think that hurts the Dems more than Trump.
