America needs TRUMP! America needs a tough, honest business man as leader!
America needs TRUMP! America needs a tough, honest business man as leader![/QUOTE]
I do not know about honest, but I will vote for him, no such a animal as a honest politician
Forget about Republicans v. Democrats and all of the emotion which comes with it for just a second.
Here is the current delegate count:
(1) Trump - 82
(2) Cruz - 17
(3) Rubio - 17
(4) Kasich - 6
Now, next Tuesday we have Super Tuesday whereby 12 states will vote:
- Alabama
- Alaska
- Arkansas
- Colorado
- Georgia
- Massachusetts
- Minnesota
- Oklahoma
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Vermont
- Virginia
- Wyoming
In Total, you have about 660 delegates at stake, with Texas being the big boy at 155. Most polls have Cruz slightly ahead of Trump right now in Texas... So, approximately 1/4 of all the delegates will have been casted by the time Super Tuesday is through.
Right now Trump holds a DOUBLE DIGIT lead in 9 out of 12 states on Super Tuesday, including most of the "SEC States". So, it is critical that Cruz wins Texas in his home state. Fortunately for Marco, Florida does not vote until March 15 with a debate at the University of Miami on March 10. However, Florida is a closed primary winner-take-all state with 99 delegates going to the winner. A new Quinnipiac Poll came out yesterday which has Trump at 44% in Florida with Rubio at 28%.
I am a major Rubio supporter and am campaigning for Marco. Last night was Marco's finest debate performance to date, but frankly, it may be too little too late. There were so many Republican candidates to start the campaign, that they all had to fight against each other and battle for position instead of focusing on Trump. Now that the field as narrowed down to effectively THREE candidates (because Kasich and Carson have no realistic chance at this point), you see Cruz and Rubio emptying the proverbial "political arsenal" against Trump last night. I believe that this was mostly ineffective for two reasons: (1) Trump's core base of support may be only 30%-35%, but is a rabid, angry, and loyal core base of support- these voters won't waver just because of a debate; and (2) it is likely too little, too late. We are now what, 10 debates into this primary vote...? Most people are locked in on their candidate at this point, so Rubio may have gained between 3%-5% of the voting public, but that number is likely not enough to OVERTAKE Trump who, as I state above, holds a DOUBLE DIGIT lead in most of the Super Tuesday states, and Florida on March 15. Marco also needs to win some states- he has a good shot at Virginia where he received some key endorsements and also because Virginia has the highest rate of educated voters in the country. Rubio consistently receives the highest number of votes from the high educated voters.
So, things will be interesting the next 7-10 days. If Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich cannot even win in their home states, then forget about it- you can't be a candidate in the general election when the people of your home state don't make you the winner of your home state in a Primary. It's that simple. I love Marco and everything for what he stands, but his campaign has a lot of work to do, which is why I am working hard for his campaign and doing what I can. I will be at the Republican Debate at the University of Miami on March 10 hosted by CNN... It should be noted though, that I WILL stand strong beside Trump in the event he becomes the Republican Nominee. I do not like Trump's style in many respects, but the man is a proven leader, a proven winner, and a proven doer of things. He may be flawed, but I believe Trump is head and shoulders better than ANYONE on either side of politics except for Rubio.
Just my honest opinion.

This election is going to be horrible.
Trump vs Hilary is about as bad as Shannon vs Golden.

republicans are a joke,they are handing the presidency to Hillary..they act like a bunch of first graders whinnying about who said what to mommy...total circus..
I am an independent votier and I am open to voting for a Republican... As long as it is not Trump.
Ask yourself what does the Republican party stand for? It is the furthest thing from from what Trump stands. Christian values? Trump has a better chance of finding a new wife than knowing a pastor by name. Trump is feeding into people's anger over the current President and the death of the Republican party as we remembered it. Let's face the music. The Republican Party died last election when they couldn't beat Obama for a second term and is in a transition. That is why none of the leading three candidates are like the Bush family and it is a bunch of new bloods.
But, if Trump gets nominated then that will be the nail in the coffin for the Republican Party, because he will not secure any Latino votes with his wall proposal, nor women voters, and absolutely no LBGT voters.

I agree except the R Party doesn't "stand" for anything. I've come to the conclusion that they say the right thing and then do whatever keeps them in office, like all politicians do. People intuitively are realizing that so that's why Trump is so popular. They want a shake-up. Problem is who knows what he's really going to be like if elected.
I like Carson but he's out of it
I like Cruz but his personality is a negative
I like Rubio but he's a little close to R establishment...and he's a Gator
I like what Trump says...he has swag. But what will he really do?
I can't vote for a Dem cause I don't believe in Socialism and that's where they're headed
I have my ballot but haven't decided yet
Dr. Carson is just too nice for this dirty game.

agree with aj, Rubio is my current guy. Having dealt with him when he was speaker and know many folks on house staffs that dealt with him daily even before speaker, they all, to a person, say that he always wants to do the right thing and will listen to others. Of course, when you listen to others and are open to change you then become subject to attacks for vacillating. I would be troubled by any candidate who has never evolved on any issues.
I do think Carson is very honorable and would prefer him as HHS and not surgeon general as he can have a greater impact this way. I think Cruz is a constitutional purist and would like to see him end up on SCOTUS. Trump would be excellent in a number of posts related to budget, commerce and securities. But i doubt his ego would allow him to serve as anything other than pres.
If Trump is to be beaten, we must be down to two candidates after Super Tuesday.

Anybody going to Rubio rally tonight?? I am he will be our next POTUS.. I will not vote for trump if he's the nominee he will get slaughtered by Hilary in general election everyone including the media knows this that's why they push trump because as high as they have built up trump the moment he may be the nominee they will obliterate him and hilary will embarrass him in debates.. This is what trump is dealing with in GE against Hilary no African American vote, no Hispanic vote, no minority vote and atleast half of the Republican Party (including me) will go 3rd party or just not vote.. Rubio is the guy and if Cruz loses Texas he needs to drop and immediately endorse Rubio.. I think he's been most successful at getting to trump..
New CNN head-to-heads against Hillary:
Rubio 50, Hillary 47
Cruz 49, Hillary 48
Hillary 52, Trump 44
A vote for Trump is a vote for Hillary

Can we try having no president this term? At least until people come to their senses.. I think it's doable.
