No worries. Again, as as resident of the state of FL for most of my life, I know Rubio is a liar. Dont believe one word he says about Cruz. :)

Did you notice she set him up by listing a bunch of Bernie’s points that SOUND similar to Trump’s, and asked Trump who am I talking about? Trump said Donald Trump—I saw the setup coming, he wasn’t listening carefully enough. He got out of it very well, and continued. Kind of an ouch moment.

Medicare and Medicaid plus VA need to negotiate drug prices.

Trump had that entire crowd of mixed political persuasions laughing together.

I don’t know of any other politician who could do that.

We’re talking landslide.

people can't get drugs in europe!!!!! I talk to them all the time on alternative health sites. They can't get any of the thyroid meds among many other supplements and meds.

That's because you are no longer the buyer. The government is. Demand is no longer set by those who create demand.

I am so sick of these damn Big Brother impersonators saying they'll replace ObamaCare with TrumpCare, GingrichCare, (fill in the blank)Care. I am perfectly capable of deciding for myself what I want to buy and how much I want to pay. GET THE GOVERNMENT THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY!

Trump is real. Down to earth. People love him.

He is just himself, genuine, patriotic and has a great sense of humor.

Very approachable in a non-threatening way. Easy to see why he said he gets along well with cab drivers and construction workers. Trump has strong work ethic which people respect.

It is not clear to me that Trump will win the general.

That’s one thing I’m worried about.

He’s not bland. People love him but a lot of people despise him.

He always polls doing worse against Hillary than Cruz.

He can turn people off.

The other thing I’m worried about is that he might win.

I am so worried about his liberalism with the Supreme Court in the balance.

If you like him, you love him. If you dont like him, you hate him. I cant stand the man.

I have worked in big pharma for 20 years. The best thing you could do is add more competition as that would curb excesses. As it is supply in that industry, like with hospitals, is tightly controlled.

He hasn’t said anything yet but his speed of speech is a bit fast to soak in.

He is a fast thinker but that is not a quality for anything unless your making a Chuck Norris movie.

Trump was honest and real on the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Didn’t promise he could solve itnbut he’ll try. Didn’t want to assign blame because as President he’ll have to broker a deal so holding his cards

Trump was amazing. One of his best if not best campaign stops. He is very likable and while the audience was obviously instructed with no clapping, it was obvious many couldn’t help but laugh with Trump as Trump was just being Trump.

Is there some sort of halo or heavenly glow around Trump. You sound a wee bit worshipful.

Stop it. Stop it now. This is your conscience speaking. You've crossed over.

Watching Rubio, and he sounds a lot like the old FeDex commercial where that guy talks really fast!
He is cramming policy at such a speed that no one can comprehend. He’s had too much caffeine or Red Bull, LOL.

Would you say Cruz supporters watch CNN? Most supporters of either candidate distrust all media for good reason.

“Should Apple allow terrorist phone to be unlocked?”

Donald said yes IMMEDIATELY. He said Apple is in the wrong.

Rubio talked for a few minutes and never answered.

(If Ted got that question, I missed it...unless it’s coming later.)

Medicare and Medicaid plus VA need to negotiate drug prices.

And the government gets to decide what drugs you can and can't have.
