Compared to Hillary? Are you being serious?

I think Cruz (my favorite) will fade.

That's the only way Trump can win, IMO. From comments I've read here, Cruz supporters might go for Trump, but, as you suggest, supporters of other candidates won't, though "hating Trump" seems overstated.

Actors. What can you do? People think they know them because of their familiarity. Americans are conned every day by marketing.

Looks like America is going to be a communist nation.

Carson people aren’t going to Trump, theynarentmgoing anywhere special. Most have already gone.

Add the Bush and Kasich votes to Repeal bio and see what you get. Rubio wins. Trump smeared the wrong candidate.

Trump had a chance of getting Cruz voters before he started his ugly smear campaign, not any more.

Trump underestimates the resolve of the Insiders to knock off the Conservative rebellion. Rubio is already moving away from the Conservative voters. Look at his response to the Breitbart article, he just attacked the messengers.

Rove and Rubio think that they have won because they will now get a brokered convention.

Macro Robocito and his amnesty immigration platform would be better in a White Mosque than in The Whitehouse. Amnesty is what really separates Macro from Trump and Cruz. Either of the two will be far better for the country.

Many Republicans won’t vote for him. Even with some Democrat cross overs I worry it won’t be enough.

Is there an echo in here? I distinctly remember this conversation from 2008 and 2012: blowing off conservatives to get the much more significant crossovers and liberal Republicans and Reagan Democrats.

It's the same calculation all the Christopher Caldwells and Bill Kristols and Karl Roves made in days gone by.

So far, it's Epic Fail X 2.

Shouldn't that be the White Cabana? Or maybe just the White Casita?

Thanks for the correction, he does seem to be more slanted to southerly aliens vs. those from the middle east.

Wait until you get a load of the Hildebeast and what she laid down yesterday at the Nevada Caucuses, about going for Amnesty all the way. I'm guessing that that would include citizenship.

In 1994, Michigan State University political scientists completed a study of elected politicians' responses to voting blocs at all levels. The study proved that, when a voting bloc reaches 10% of the electorate, the bloc begins to distort reprentatives' voting behavior. At 15% the representatives' behavior was seriously disturbed, and at the 25% level the bloc achieved total control of the agenda, to the exclusion of all other voters' interests. This is, of course, a good example of what bloc-voting means in a democracy.

It has long been taught that democracy can be abusive because the majority oppresses the minority. What the Michigan State professors proved, and backed up with actual data, is that minorities can oppress the majority in democratically-governed States, cities, and counties. And in the country as a whole.

A white Democratic woman who attended the Nevada caucus told a Texas FReeper that the Mexicans were fully in charge of the caucus and totally organized -- the NALEO guys have got to be licking their chops. Their dream has been for years to replace the Black Caucus as the "steering committee" of the Democratic Party and kingmakers and incumbent godlings of the United States.

And clowns like Rove still think they've got a shot at getting Mexican votes? That's just a cover story. They're all about wide-open borders and uncontrolled, wide-open, wage-busting immigration. That stuff about "Well, Dubya got 40%!" is just a line, a cover for the real policy. Open borders, tumbling wages, and happy happy rich people in Manhattan.

good point....which no doubt will be repeated for the next few days in the media....but then McCain had no fire and Trump is constantly on fire. Definitely the GOPe is going to try and do whatever they can do make it a two man race before Super Tuesday or else.

Much like the unelectable Cruz.

Like the unelectable screen cowboy, Ronald Reagan?

How long are you guys going to keep channeling CBS News ca 1980 and The Daily Beast and Salon today, who keep telling us whom to nominate and which of our candidates are "electable"?

What are you guys going to do about the persistent polls that warn that Trump isn't hacking it against The Hildebeast?

You can't repeal the Law of Politics, that given a choice between a faux Democrat "Me-Too'er" like Wendell Willkie, Bob Dole, John McCain, or Mitt Romney, and a real Democrat, the voters will always go for the real thing.

Why do Republican "consultants" and other brainiacs keep insisting that they can win by letting the conservatives go home with "GET LOST!" ringing in their ears, and somehow peeling off 20% of the 47% of the bought-and-paid-for Children of Darkness?

I'm beginning to think that Trump wants the historical distinction of being the first Democrat to take the Republican nomination.

Did you read the articles about Rubo and the Gang of Eight. They are going for citizenship, full benefits and everything, too.

There is not one dimes of difference between what Rubio wants and what Hillary wants. Rubio just got caught in the poison pill and was forced to back off. Rubio helped write the School met bill. It was all in there, just not spelled out. That was what the poison pill did, exposed the intent of the bill.

Do you know what is in Ryan’s TPP? Jobs for more immigrants. They want to send the workers here to fill jobs created by the bill.

Bernie the Red is most D voters’ choice pretty much only because they’re so sick and tired of having Hillary the Liar shoved at them.

If I were to vote in a 'Rat primary, I'd go for the Hildebeest, hands down. The crook over the true believer, every time!

As for me, I sure wish the D’s could come up with someone with better policies for what USA needs now. More communistic bs is exactly the wrong prescription for our economy and jobs , for example

JFK is long dead and buried. No member of the living 'Rat party deserves any respect!
