Polls, polls, polls, they change every minute of every day so who can believe any of them to be accurate? I will believe the poll taken in December 2016.

i know this site is not a collective like the Borg, lol, but what say folks, if for some reason Ted or Walker doesn’t get the nomination, and Ricky Ricardo gets the nomination, what do we do come election day?

I vote for Rubio. He’s nothing like Jeb. He brings a lot of good things to the table. Jeb is basically indistinguishable at this point from an elitist democrat. Were it not for the immigration bill debacle, Rubio has a pretty good record and advocacy for conservatism.

Rubio backs Amnesty and RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE.
That makes him a Democrat.

The RNC has already been paid millions to produce an amnesty candidate. The Cheap Labor Express will spend whatever it takes to make sure we cannot elect a President who would stop the cheap labor importation/invasion.
Rubio has proven he is on the side of the illegal aliens and their employers, not on the side of the rule of law and the citizens.

I’ll write in Ted Cruz.
I don’t vote for national suicide by amnesty candidates.

We vote our consciences, as we always should.
Rubio is a non-starter for many. For me, the taint of amnesty is vile and repugnant. It would be a very hard sale for me to vote for Rubio.

Why would you give more knives to someone who has already left one in your back?

I can’t see any substantive way that Marco will restore America. Savage was saying last night that most of new un-Americans are coming from Africa, China and the Middle East. Marco will lead us down the sewer every bit as quickly as Bush.

Easy for me. I don't vote for liberal. That means I'll vote for Cruz at the top of the ticket. Period.
If someone else is at the top of the ticket, I'll skip on down to where I can do some good with my vote.
If the GOP-E winds up with another liberal candidate, it's on them.
I am NOT responsible for voting for the GOP-E liberal because that is who they nominated.
That is the responsibility of the GOP-E.

I have to look up his voting record and conservative score. I feel more and more like our voting power is an illusion and the global powers that be are going to flood this great country with all kind of riff raff in the coming yeas, my ancestors were Italian riff raff lol, but at least they were vetted and THRILED to be here.
My mother's family was on welfare a lONG time ago, and the inspectors got mad because they had TWO boxes of cereal, and they counted the plates and forks
i have trouble believing this but mom doesn't lie. Anyone hear similar stories from the late 30s

The whole GOP primary is stuffed with GOPe backups.
Where’s a single candidate for enforcing laws against illegal immigration?
To: dp0622
If Rube gets the nomination, I stay at home.

Again, the GOP-E liberals come in and expects conservatives to pull them out of the fire.
Ain't happening this time. Ain't my responsibility. It's the GOP-E. Let them vote for their liberal candidate.

Sit it out and let Hillary have it with a conservative congressional opposition.
To: Arm_Bears

Don't stay at home. Skip that vote and vote for conservatives down-ticket. There will be plenty that need conservative support and votes.
