As a matter of fact I consider a lethal one.
Remember, the Dems have retained their super-delegate arrangement, which controls their nomination process.
Care to advance a possible scenario...?
Trump, as long as he stays in, is more an opportunist who will say and do anything to get elected.

I think Trump saying to ban Muslims shows him to be willing buck the tide of political correctness. That showed me something.
I am expecting Sanders to end up winning the presidency. America is too far gone for anything other than communism. We are divided and fractured into oblivion. Fraud is the way to obtain power and there is no way to fix it.
Same here. Cruz is still my guy, though.

Not likely; that idiot is the only Dem that could win it for the Pubs...but that would please all the blustering Rubiophobes out there...
my nose-holding days are over.
In all candor, Hilary couldn’t care less if you’re pinching your nostrils or not, as long as you make her happy...
I am offended by the use of your term ‘moderate’ to describe Paul Ryan.
At least moderates are half-right or right half the time.
The last two elections were crypto-lefty vs. more-lefty. I don’t think that an actual moderate has cinched the nomination since W.
In the long run, Rubio v. Hillary is the same outcome no matter who wins.
I might vote Rubio just to spite Hill, but I won’t expect my vote to change anything.
Ryan is a statist, as are Hillary and all the other republican/democrat establishment 'team players'.
>> if Rubio is indeed nominated, Hilary Clinton thanks you in advance for your support <<
Here’s a serious question:
Can you explain in rational and non-emotional terms exactly why your statement is credible, given that virtually every poll shows Rubio runs better against Hilary than does any other potential GOP nominee?
-— The loss in Iowa after leading in the ten polls preceding the caucuses has taken the wind out of Donald Trump’s sails. He is refusing to invest in New Hampshire and will not buy expansive data to micro-target voters.-—
The death of the Trump campaign will be his unwillingness to operate like a politican and operate like a marketing business...
The two arenas are vastly different...
Trump is selling an image/brand at large rather than selling door to door...to seal the deal...
Bottom line is the electorate like having their butt kissed and Trump doesn’t kiss butt...
Either of them would be okay with me. Rubio was a freshman senator and didn’t do much but Cruz has been around longer and still didn’t do much. Whether it’s because their attitudes are too accommodating or too intransigent, it had the same effect. Their programs are very close, with perhaps a difference in semantics, but in any case only the general outline ever survives.
Possibly either one of them would be better in the executive position. Cruz would still have to learn to work with people to get his general objectives, unless he plans to rule by executive order, and Rubio would have to be stronger than Bush in defending himself and his programs. So we shall see as the campaigns play out.
I think Rubio could win nationally, but I’m not so sure about Cruz. Their positions are very similar, but Rubio is a more attractive personality. That said, I’d vote for either of them, but im a conservative Republican and most of the country is not.
The only thing most of the country would vote for is who is going to give them the most freebies.
Am I supposed to know the difference between Lars Larson & Erick Erickson?
Touchback Trump is far from dead, but his loss in Iowa does put a chink in his armor.
Except when Marco was in the Florida legislature, he wasn’t all that gun friendly. I’m sure he was for “sensible” gun laws. In any case, whoever donates the most to him, he’ll honor with his vote. Maybe GOA needs to take a look at all of Marco’s history.
Not only that, but shortly before the Iowa caucuses, several Carson staffers quit and moved to Cruz.
I like and admire Ben Carson. I think there should be a place for him in the Cabinet. I don't think he's ready to be president.
He should have run for Senator.
They have, his worst grade (that I could find) was 2010. He was rated “B.”
