Interesting indeed. Here's hoping there's a first time for everything but since Trump is more progressive than Hillary (albeit a buffoon) on everything but immigration it makes me very happy that the latest polls show him crushing Rubio in Florida as I would prefer anti-boondoggle in the Middle East Trump with a competent team over Cruz, a complete ideologue who wants to bring about the end times and Rubio who has gone full neo-con.

Pretty astonishing that whenever the Clinton's run for president a billionaire comes out of the woodwork to wipe out the GOP.

What's funny is that line of thinking probably would have been the best attack line on Trump all along - asserting without any evidence that he is a Clinton plant. The fact that he is not even conservative has had no effect.

I personally couldn't care less if he was a true Republican or not. I don't like him because he's certainly not a conservative.

I must say I do thoroughly enjoy the rationalization of voting for Trump by card carrying conservatives such as yourself as it reveals just how unprincipled you really are. Good times and enjoyable lulz.

Trump's supporters are so annoying. He says the dumbest shit and dumb "comebacks" and you just hear them going crazy in the crowd. SMH

As expected, Cruz and Marco are going in on the Donald.

Kasich is really the only one on the stage who is qualified to be President.

Rubio has done absolutely nothing that qualifies him to be President.

But when they cheer for someone else they are lobbyists. Marco is a choker and sweater and Cruz is a liar. I am convinced some just want Trump to sic Hillary.

Edit: Lol I thought Trump said Marco was a joker. Forgive me for my confusion but you never know what kind of random shit Trump is going to throw out.

Look at how well that went. Terrible. If that's the reasoning for Rubio, then maybe we deserve what happens to this country.

Oh, I agree with you. But aside from Kasich, Rubio is probably the best of the bunch (including the liar and commie on the Dem side).

That is true about Kasich... Unfortunately, I don't see a path for him.
Experience may be overrated. It is more about judgement, policies and surrounding yourself with people who know what they are doing, not yes men and sycophants. Really, does governing a state prepare you for dealing with Putin?
BHO has 7 years "experience" as actual POTUS and he still is FOS.
Hillary was FLOTUS for 8 years, and senator from NY, And we still had Benghazi and Emails etc.
If a person has communication skills, makes sound decisions, believes in solid, fair policies and has the chutzpah to see it thru... He can be a good leader.

Ohio is a winner take all state. If you are a Cruz, Rubio, or Carson guy they do not stand a chance at this point in the Ohio Republican primary of getting any delegates. You waste your vote other than it being based on principal alone (which I have done many times in the primary). Ohio's delegates are going to either Trump or Kasich. Kasich may not be my ideal choice in the primary but based on the aforementioned I will likely be voting for Kasich. Super Tuesday could shake things up a bit.

I was thinking of that famous George Carlin quote "think how stupid the average person is, and then realize half the people are dumber than that!"...and it occurs to me that if Trump can get all the stupid people to vote for him, then he wins.

I'm not sure Trump and Sanders prove how much anger is in this country - I think it shows how badly our educational system is failing.

Trump is also proving that media coverage counts for more than advertising dollars or anything else. To some extent, the media determines our candidates based on how much coverage they give (does equal time only apply in the general and not primaries?). So Trump says outrageous things to get coverage, and proves once again there's no such thing as bad press.

If Trump gets the nomination it will be VERY interesting to see how he holds together in the debates this fall, given that they actually enforce the rules and are pretty rigid.

It is no worse than the 2 "hope and change" Obama elections. But I tend to agree with your overall point. As an example, last night at a liberal college a conservative pundit was set to give a speech, and then the university cancelled it. Ben Shapiro showed up to give the speech anyway, and was met by the borderline violent "tolerant left" students. It's all fun and games with tolerance until the left doesn't agree with you. Mind you this same college president had Bill ayers (domestic terrorist) speak, when he was with a different college.

But in those debates they'll just tell him to shut the fuck up and/or cut his mic if he just goes insults and no relevance to the question. He could be his own worst enemy and take the opportunity to destroy her away from himself.

Sadly, true... But that does not excuse the electorate for cutting off its nose to spite it's face.

Again, sad but true.

True; and why Carson finally asked for someone to attack him last night so he could get some face time in responding .......great line.

Yes, and also look for her to go into victim mode to make him the bully which the weak libs and media will soak up. Hopefully though the disastrous records of her and the administration will be enough to bury her.

Trump missed a huge opportunity to slam the door on Rubio last night. When Marco was pestering him for his "plan" on health care and Trump was trying to say that his plan was the open marketplace (take away the state lines) and all Trump said was "there are many plans"......what he should said to Rubio was "Marco you dont like my answer or you dont understand it because my plan doesnt have anything to do with Washington".
