Polls say rubio has a better shot to beat Hillary, but Trump may be a trump card for lack of a better term. He is really going to be a nasty guy in a debate to her and I am hoping that he makes her either cry or physically attack him. People say she's tough, let's see if she is.

Rubio is still the best republican left, but he's not favored to win.

Good luck!

lostin is referring to a few months back when she called trump sexist and he shot back about her still being with bill clinton, who has had many accusations of mistreating women. It's fair to say a d

There is only one republican who can beat Hillary, The Donald. And the reason why is because he's not a traditional republican. We've been talking on here for years now how the republicans need to cha

So I was having dinner with my mom, my son, his girlfriend, my brother, and my wife - and to set the mood my family thinks of me as just slightly right of Rush Limbaugh and I am the devil reincarnated if I dare suggest we watch something other than MSNBC if we are watching the news. Sitting around the table eating I asked my son and his girlfriend out of the blue "So.. Clinton or Bernie? Tough choice there! Which one are you going to support?"

Naturally my mom butted in and talked about how much she disliked Cruz even more than Trump and then they bad mouthed a few republicans that were out of the race.. anyway they took a few minutes regurgitating everything they had heard on the comedy channel and MSNBC in the last 24 hours before I was able to ask again "Yeah... So.. Clinton or Bernie?" It was dead silence..

It is the same thing in reverse if you ask a group of republicans.. Or a mix of independents.... Everyone *kinda* knows who they are going to vote for but almost nobody wants to admit it. I am exactly there. I can't give a name and not be embarrassed if someone overhears.

It is good to see some of the left and right coming together here to equally bash the candidates on both sides with such free abandon - something finally brought us all together.

I met Cruz at a function just after he'd been elected Senator, and I got to talk with him briefly and observe him throughout as he interacted with others. He truly listens and absorbs what people say. I got the impression that he has a kind heart. In addition, he's unquestionably brilliant.

I lost some respect for Rubio, who seemed to take genuine delight in hammering Trump in the debate. The hammering had to be done. Conversely, Cruz also hammered Trump but seemed not to enjoy it, and it was done in a more intellectual fashion than how Rubio did it.

Before we send Cruz to the white house, we must also consider that we would be depriving some poor village in Texas of their idiot.

I don't know for sure what kind of president Ted would be, but I do know he's an accomplished idiot. I really don't want that on my conscience.

Nailed it.

Trump is the candidate, for example, a large number of people will vote for but not admit it to everyone else. "Yeah, he's crazy, how can we vote for this guy? "

....a few hours later at polling booth...

"Hmm, ah here we go, the curtain is up and nobody is watching right? Yeah, okay, what the heck, a check for Trump then I guess, why not."

The fact that so many people just "know" that he's crazy as heck but are voting for him is proof to me about how political correctness has suppressed the public discourse. It's somewhat like the hypocrisy over masturbation. You might do it, but you'll never admit it.

Good luck!
