Iowa caucus voters start voting for president next year on Feb 1 with New Hampshire primary voters following eight days later on Feb. 9.

For the 13 Republicans jockeying for pole position in the demolition derby called the GOP primary season, only five of them—Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, real estate billionaire Donald Trump, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie—have any shot of taking on the Democratic nominee next year, according to an interactive match-up offered by The New York Times that takes the measure of each candidate in several key categories.

Hillary Crushes

Democrats only have three candidates running, and Hillary Clinton is widely expected to be the pick over her chief competitors, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley.

According to the Times, “Prediction Markets,” where traders bet on event outcomes, only have positive news for five of the bakers’ dozen of GOP White House hopefuls. Mr. Rubio leads the pack at 35 percent, with the other four Republican candidates following in descending order: Mr. Cruz [26%], Mr. Trump [23%], Mr. Bush [10%] and Mr. Christie [5%]....

“Jimmy Carter was 5’9”

Since he was a submariner he’d have to be under 6 feet tall I believe

The GOP is going to try to shove this LIAR up our wazoos.
Rubio LIED to me when running for the Senate. Once in office he did a 180 and joined the gang of 8 who tried their best to shove amnesty up our wazoos.
Rubio is garbage as is the GOP elite.

.....I DID think Jimmah might be an exception!

Thanks for correcting me!

Was it Truman that initiated “Operation Wetback” or was it Eisenhower?

[WENDLE]

Eisenhower . Great read om Wikipedia. Worked perfectly because so many self deported .No work— no eat. Get hungry — go home.

[WENDLE]

He is truly diminutive. I fear a Napoleonic syndrome. This guy needs to get off the screen.

“NYT Election Matrix = three NYTimes reporters in the lunch room chatting up a story to write”

...as they read the latest ‘RAT talking points and recent emails from the Shrillary camp.

[House Atreides]

Cruz is my favorite and he may win Iowa but in the overall Trump will win by a wide margin across the country...

I hope for Trump / Cruz 2016..>>>>
................................................................
i agree. Rubio is a child
********************************************************************************
Yes, Rubio is a child ... who would betray us (his supposed political “family”) and slit our cultural throats to ingratiate himself to his “friends” who are ‘RATS and “establishment” types.

History always repeats itself.

Donald Trump and Ted Cruz (and we chickens) better brace ourselves for GOPe Jeb Bush betrayal in 2016 that will make the Chris McDaniels Mississippi Debacle look like Sunday School ...



1968 ... Bobby Kennedy assassinated by a dish washer ... Bloody Riots at the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention ... Hubert Humprey ...



Do you know "anyone" on planet earth who's worth a trillion dollars ?

No one is.

The United States government annual budget clearly exceeds a trillion dollars ...

Over an eight-year two-term Presidentcy, that represents EIGHT Trillion dollars ...

Is "anyone's life" worth eight trillion dollars ?

And if Donald Trump or Ted Cruz get the 2016 GOP Nomination, and defeat the GOPe-RINO Washington Cartel (Hillary, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, et al) ...

there will a trillion dollars of "blood on the streets".

Money that didn't go to the K-Street Bankers ... and perhaps 20 million illegals successfully deported over the next eight years ...

That's the way it always works.



Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Political Dogs of War ...



Does anyone wonder about the "clear absurdity" of Jeb Bush predicting that he wins the GOP 2016 nomination ?

Come on, Folks.

Does Jeb Bush need to be "Baker Acted" ?

"No" ... and please don't be naive ...

Barbara and Jeb Bush may be Hillary-Loving Bushies, but they are NOT "stupid".

The Bush Dynasty is "not" stupid. A little corrupt, but NEVER stupid.



I believe that Washington Cartel has decided to make the 2016 GOPe election a "Stalingrad" for the American Tea Party ...


Isn't that what Patton or Rommel would do, if they were the GOPe-RINO Washington Cartel ?

Isn't that what YOU would do, if they were playing the equivalent of "American Political Risk" (the game) ?


Again, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz (and we chickens) better brace ourselves for GOPe Jeb Bush betrayal in 2016 that will make the Chris McDaniels Mississippi Debacle look like Sunday School ...

I don’t know. Just that things will hit the fan.

[poconopundit]

True, he cannot win a primary. Rubio, the magnificent office seeker's political career more or less ended the day Chuck Schumer got him to speak for the Gang of Eight. The smile on Schumer's face in the famous photo tells all.

[Cen-Tejas]

Thanks for the tip.

This is exactly what Trump is thinking, I think.

[poconopundit]

I have faith that the magnificent bastard Trump is aware of the dangers and has planned for them. Here's a little something just for you, my FRiend:

You can't run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity.  An army without profanity couldn't fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag.   As for the types of comments I make, sometimes I just, By God, get carried away with my own eloquence.

I agree completely that Donald Trump knows the chessboard on this one ...

perhaps he (like you or I) have a “poison pill” stashed away somewhere for any unfortunately tragedy that might befall him ...
