I think the push Carly movement is on. She is scheduled for Fox News Sunday along with Lindsey Graham.

I didn’t think she won the debate. She did succeed in riling Trump, but she didn’t succeed in making me like her or want to support her.

Rubio is an uncloseted racial supremacist.
Not going to be a big seller as the race goes on.

Rubio is far from popular in the state full of voters he lied to.

America agrees with me. We aren’t voting for a Mexican for president.

Hey, I didn’t say I approved - I said I wondered if Trump might consider him. On second thought - Trump would need to shore up the conservative, Christian base of the party and Cruz can do that. It’s all speculation at this point anyway.

That chart makes sense, from the debate I was watching anyway. Rubio and Fiorina took support mostly from Carson, but some from Cruz. In an objective fair campaign season, Trump would be considered an overwhelming favorite.

"What would Trump get from Rubio that he wouldn’t get from Cruz?"

A headache?

Didn't say you did.:-)

Just pointing out why he likely would not pick MR.

2DV asked: what would Trump get from Rubio that he wouldn't get from Cruz?

The argument that Cruz is a necessary voice in the US Senate, for his legal expertise, unraveling the mess Obama has left behind. I also like the contrasts between Trump and Rubio...they compliment each other.

Carson looks like he needs an Epinephrine injection.

The COMMUNIST CONTROLLED PRESS HAD THIS LOSER AS THE SECOND COMING LAST WEEK.

Now its this incompetent bitch on wheels Fiorina who is supposed to be omnipotent.

Hell, there are 16 candidates, so look for a new one for the next 4 months that is better that Trump/Cruz.

TRUMP/CRUZ

Either the DISGUSTING GOP OLIGRACH BLUE BLOOD COUNRTY CLUBBERS get with the program or they will be destroyed.

Yep. If Jeb was polling on that line, the party would be working on coronation plans.

It’s so fun to be sharing the same candidate with you. You find the most fun reads to post for us. Carson is headed for a nap sandwich, I’m afraid, which should help Cruz if there is any justice.

I really enjoyed this one.

In 2007 the left made a decision early on that they were sticking with Obama no matter how incendiary the charge... that is why the media barely blinked when Larry Sinclair told his tale of the limo ride and the left didn’t even yawn at Jeramiah Wright’s radicalism not to mention the relationship between Obama and the terrorist Ayers. Therefore it is only fitting for the Right to return the favor.... No matter how incendiary the charge against any Republican running for President, I have four words for the media and the left - Who gives a F##@K.

A better debater than the North American champion in both categories who has a debate series at Princeton named after him?

Trump is a walking repudiation of the GOP-e and their Democrat allies. >>


Voters get nothing— not on illegals, not on the economy, not on the Constitutional circumvention, not on legislation, not on Iran, nothing, until Trump blows up the GOP.

If he can’t survive the GOP primary trap and the united onslaught, who can, among our illustrious field? But, for Jeb of course, whose machine is serving all the corruption and make nice with the Marxists.

“I’ve said I think it will be Trump/Rubio ticket...time will tell.”

Between Rubio and Cruz, Rubio is the more natural public speaker. Cruz may be a great competitive debater, but he is overly formal and stilted, to the point of being somewhat off-putting in my opinion.

I think Trump/Rubio (or Trump/Cruz) helps offset any negatives with Hispanics, for like it or not they are a fast growing segment of voting potential.

All those that are presently in the practice of being a politician, gather the American citizens’ disdain.
