Jebbie will get a pass to be there regardless of his numbers: just because he is a Bush!

Polling leading up to the RTW fight in Michigan showed that some 40% of union members supported right to work and it also showed that the same 40% were already voting republican.

In 2012 my neighbor a 30 year UAW member voted for Santorum partly because he liked Santorum’s idea for eliminating manufacturing taxes but mostly he said it was because he knew Santorum actually believed in something.

NY, New England, and the left coast are lost causes. Trump and /or Cruz can still win without them.

Yeah, I wonder if even trump can take NY. That he even has a shot at it makes him way too liberal for me. : ) I don't expect Cruz to do well in the Northeast/Rust belt.... I don't expect trump to do well in the South, Rockies, or the desert Southwest. He'll have a good shot at the rust belt, and maybe the upper mid-west. The left coast and the Northeast are probably lost to both of them.

Many of us support Cruz and Trump. I’m sick of the antagonism.

Petulant, yes. But pedant? That indicates at least the appearance of intellect. Maybe you meant “Petulant PeePants.”

There is a lot of it, that’s true.

Personally, I’ll never support Trump.

[Good grief, is that their official holiday card?]

Knowing them when it comes to OUR celebration of OUR Christmas it could be.

Did you know that they don’t even give their kids presents?

Sounds like a muzzie not recognizing Christ or Christmas.

OK. Remove Donald Trump – then: Carson becomes Herman Cain, Ted Cruz becomes Newt Gingrich, and Jeb Bush/Marco Rubio can stroll into the role of Mitt Romney 2012 as both have the clout of a political party with HEAVY financing behind them.....just like Mitt.

What role will Hillary play in the upcoming events?

In 2008, she won the New Hampshire primary but failed to win the Democratic nomination. This year, she’s projected to lose the New Hampshire primary, yet she’s still being considered the Democrats’ inevitable nominee if not their Queen.

How can that be?

If Bernie Sanders wins the New Hampshire primary as projected, he’ll do so for two reasons — first, because his followers will be energized to vote in large numbers, and, second, because the uninspiring Hillary’s uninspired supporters will stay home in large numbers.

Yes, Bernie’s state of Vermont is next to New Hampshire, but Bernie has energized voters in every state, and Hillary’s relatively non-energized supporters will be even more non-energized after she loses New Hampshire.

Today, the favorite descriptions for Hillary among voters are ‘’liar’’ and ‘’untrustworthy.’’ When she loses the New Hampshire primary, the term ‘’loser’’ will join that list.

Hillary is not inevitable.

As for the Republicans, if Ted Cruz wins the Iowa caucuses as projected, he’ll be known as a winner, and Donald Trump will be known as a loser.

Donald Trump isn’t inevitable either.
