Rubio sucks and is secretly gay and he's a robot.
He won't win Florida. He doesn't even show up on the job as a senator. I wish we could tie Rubio up to a post and let people pee on him. I would go on a 24 hour water diet just to prepare for it.

I think you are right that he will move left of where he is now. That is not such a bad idea in trying to work with all sides of this country. Only problem I see is that he is childish in the sense that when people oppose him he is very vindictive about his response. Perhaps even more so than Obama. Obama has been the worst president we have had since I have been alive. We are more divided now than we have been in years because of his inability or unwillingness to work with or for half of this nation. Obama's sole purpose has been to put his policies in place and Damn anyone who opposes his agenda.
One other thing about Trump, I don't think he is the racist some on here are saying (usual response of the left when they disagree about anything). Trump in my opinion is an elitist similar to most rich people and politicians. I truly believe he really thinks he can make things better because of who he is.
Well, we do need people who will work together. This country is so effed right now because everything turns into a pissing contest about the letter beside your name.
In regards to referencing Obama's being a bully to anyone who opposes him, I agree but we do need a guy who doesn't just let the left do whatever the hell they want like we've seen Obama do but also an actual president who doesn't just constantly blame an entire party for every failure and try to divide us.
Just getting in the typical politician will not change anything and if Republicans are pissed about this then they can look no further than the d-bags who didn't do what they were supposed to do and sold us out.
By the way, notice how the conservatives on here have no problem being critical of their own party? You don't see that from the Democrats on here.
Yet they don't like being scoffed at when they label themselves centrists, moderates, hates both parties, etc. Grown men cheerleading and lying is mesmerizing to me.
In Russia they don't laugh they just go
funny. An homage to Robin Williams. Miss that guy.
I cant stand Cruz, but unlike Rubio's chances in FL, I believe he may win Texas.
Why? Let them handle it. We've expended too many lives and resources being involved policing the world.
Lol
I agree. Only problem is, Jeb barely has supporters. So that alone wont be enough.
I do agree with that. It will be interesting to see if he can prove everyone wrong on this assumption. Hes proved everything else wrong.
Remove the names, and the description perfectly fits Hillary. Now, I do think Trump is flexible with his positions. But I also have a certain level of respect for someone spending this much of their own money to run for president.
Because anyone that is a Democrat is also a political coward and don't stand for anything except furthering their twisted militant leftist agenda.
Trump will put you on public blast if you oppose something he wants done. If he gets the people behind him then he will steamroll those that oppose him. He will be better at getting what he wants than any president we've ever seen. There will be a fence, Mexico will pay for it, our relations with Russia and China are instantly better, our military morale sky rockets because troops love guys that talk like Trump does...
Look folks, there is a helluva lot to like about a potential Trump presidency. Even us on the left will get something as Trump is not going to give two craps about religious social policy, as Willy or whoever said above, he is going to zero in on the big stuff and he will work with everybody as he essentially has no party.
Conservatives and Liberals alike should think long and hard about what a Trump presidency might actually look like because it could possibly be the best answer we have right now.

How disgraced is the Bush family after Jeb's poor finish in South Carolina? Jeb! brings out half the family to campaign with him, including his dear mother and the former president and first lady - meanwhile Trump is flat out calling W a liar for his weapons of mass destruction claim, and holding him accountable for 9-11 happening on his watch.
And after South Carolina voters have a chance to hear both sides they give Trump almost 200,000 votes more than Jeb! the poor sap.

Jeb (according to the "W" movie) has always been the family favorite, too. The do gooder mommy and daddy loved while GWB was the black sheep misfit. I bet that sticks in their craw that Jeb was rejected so profoundly to have all the money in the world and not even be able to get past South Carolina... which is coincidentally the state the GWB campaign took out John McCain in with their black baby love child black ops campaign. Pure poetic justice and karma at work there.
Just wait. There's a Hispanic George Bush lurking in the shadows....
Prolly was HW's plan all along. He put a gun to Jeb!'s head and forced him to marry that Hispanic broad to get another future Bush in office.

And asparagus.
I was in Minnesota for Jessie Ventura. He had some good stuff, like offering to provide the government mansion for the parties to finish a budget in time and rejecting the cries of both Rs and Ds to extend the session to do their jobs (extension would cost taxpayer money to fund). Or addressing the ridiculous license plate taxes. He said things that were common sense (even his stuff on prostitutes). But in the end he was a net negative. I think everyone here vastly overestimates the ability of the executive to get things done while being functionally independent. And I see Trump like another Ventura - refreshing rhetoric that just ends up alienating himself after a year or two. And if anyone really thinks that he can get Mexico to pay for a wall... just no.
You guys needs to be more active listeners. Trump tipped his hand by tying his statements to Mexico's debt to the US to his claim that he will make Mexico pay for the wall. Clearly he is intending to use that debt to build the wall.
The more closely I watch him the more I see and appreciate his nuance and his way of thinking. There is a method to his madness if you look closely enough.
Rubio - by elimination
Kasich
Bourbon
Luckily it will be over before KY votes so I can not vote without feeling guilty.
Maybe not, but he won't continue down the same path that as added 10 trillion dollars to our national debt either.

It is pretty amazing how two years ago all of us were talking about how the GOP had a deep bullpen of qualified and like able candidates for this year, while the democrats had Hillary, Biden, then nobody.
Fast forward to today and primary voters have managed to run off qualified/accomplished governor after governor.
Walker. Jeb!. Christie. Kasich next.
And for whom? A loud-mouthed NY liberal without an ounce of credibility/experience and a universally disliked, hard-right, first-term senator who wouldn't break 180 electoral votes.
Incredible.
I understand the anger and wanting a fighter but there has to some substance. Walker had a history of fighting hysterical bully liberals....with intellect and strategy. Trump just took all the attention and left too many fighting for limited attention. Trump keeps saying he is the only one that can beat Hillary but quinnepac shows him as the only one that can't.
he's also the only candidate who would manage to put Arizona and Georgia in play.
I look forward to Trump voters blaming a November shellacking on the media instead of blaming themselves for picking a nominee who thought he could alienate 50 million Latinos and still win a general election.
uh, why wouldn't he? The Donald hasn't been campaigning on small govt/deficit reduction. He build his empire on borrowed money (and sometimes eliminating those debts via bankruptcy), why would he suddenly become a penny clincher as pres?
Why do you constantly refer to them as Trump voters? This is essentially the base of the Republican party. Trump is just saying what they want to hear, sans the dog whistle...
Who said he would pinch pennies? What he would do is close loopholes allowing things like NAFTA to take factory work in other countries. He would offer big businesses enough incentive to bring those jobs back. That in turn would create more people paying into a tax system.
By default it would increase tax revenue, and it is the only policy of which you have heard him speak of. People complain about big business but we have a huge workforce that is considered employed and truly not working.
That is another way to make up the deficit.

But a lot of people who don't normally vote republican would vote for him.
If those people don't vote, they have no right to complain. By staying home, they're saying they want Hillary Clinton as the next president, which is exactly what would happen.
Just because someone isn't "Christian" enough, doesn't mean you should just concede the presidency to the left.
I know Cruz won't drop out and I doubt it will ever get down to just two people but Republicans need to vote no matter who wins the nomination. I know most elections turn out to be who the lesser of the two evils are and that is literally anyone from the Republican side. We cannot afford to have Hillary as the president.
Maybe it looks that way on this board, where center and left are very much in the minority. I voted Kasich yesterday, McCain and Obama previously so it's simultaneously not my fault and all my fault... that's pretty moderate by definition.
