Members xtr Posted March 2, 2016 Members Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) I also think that Cruz is worse than Trump. I think that it's unfortunate that someone who helped orchestrate a government shutdown and was willing to let it go on as long as possible to suit his agenda/views, has as much support as he does. Cruz was a driving force behind that and was willing to let several groups of people suffer financially, including very vulnerable groups of people. It seems like a lot of the country has forgotten that though. I think he should be one of the fewest vote getters in this whole race. I wish Cruz would have been one of the first people to drop out of the race. I would have rather seen him go before Christie, and I don't care for Christie and think he can be abrasive. A fear I have is that once Rubio drops out, he may have enough supporters to help Cruz close the gap on Trump. That and maybe some assistance from a lot other Republicans who don't like Trump, could make things a lot closer between those two. Trump is not my ideal presidential candidate, but I would hate to see Cruz get the Republican nomination. I think he would be the worst president we have to date. If by some chance he is nominated, I hope Hillary beats him out. Edited March 2, 2016 by xtr 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted March 2, 2016 Members Share Posted March 2, 2016 LOL you nasty. I do wonder if he's that reckless to stay in till Florida. There's rumors that people in Washington DC are frantically trying to raise $20 million dollars just to dump on the state so he can win.... I don't even think that would work...is he really willing to risk the embarrassment? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted March 2, 2016 Members Share Posted March 2, 2016 I think that we have to hope HRC's "firewall" saves us all, but I agree that being complacent would be a mistake. Maybe the press will really come down on him once he's the nominee, instead of glorying in the drama and ratings. And hey, I'll admit it's been the kind of election cycle that I can't look away from, but back in he fall I never thought it would get this ugly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted March 2, 2016 Members Share Posted March 2, 2016 ^ OMG!! That is just spot on. I wonder if Rubio will fade from the public eye after this. It seems like Florida is on the verge of repudiating him and he didn't seem to want to be a Senator anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 2, 2016 Members Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) That's the indignity for Theon I can't forgive. He'll get a big money job. It's all about the money for him anyway. I don't know if it was in here before but this profile on Robby Mook, who has a job that is likely almost impossible (dealing with Hillary's many hangers-on and "advisers"), is pretty good. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/04/robby-mook-hillary-clinton-campaign-manager-profile Edited March 2, 2016 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted March 2, 2016 Members Share Posted March 2, 2016 As awful as this is, the two things I'm most enjoying are watching Kasich lose over and over and watching Trump turn Christie into his personal punk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted March 2, 2016 Members Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) I don't agree with this and I don't see it as a conspiracy theory. Bernie is not a Democrat, and he has not built up the camaraderie and connections in the DNC that Hillary has. Many people in the DNC owe Hillary their endorsements because she has contributed to their campaigns, and have endorsed them. I'm not a Bernie voter either, it's just the plain truth. The DNC have every reason to want Hillary to win the election over Bernie and I'm not even upset about it. He wasn't a Democrat until last year, and if he loses will go back to being an Independent. The DNC is not worried about him. Edited March 2, 2016 by Eric83 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GregNYC Posted March 2, 2016 Members Share Posted March 2, 2016 Same with Kasich and Carson. They'll become lobbyists and earn millions. They know they can't win the election, they're just doing it for the name recognition to land that big time lobbyist job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 2, 2016 Members Share Posted March 2, 2016 Carson claims that he won't be participating in the next debate as he sees no way forward but has not yet suspended his campaign. He is scheduled to make an announcement on Friday but why wait if you're going to suspend your campaign? 6 NJ newspapers have written editorial articles demanding that Chris Christie resign as Governor of New Jersey. One newspaper that had endorsed him, took back their endorsement and admitted that they were wrong. The cover of today's New York Daily News features a picture of Trump with the Caption "Make America Migrate". http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/complete-guide-fleeing-president-donald-trump-america-article-1.2549397 Ben Stein a lifelong Conservative, who has never voted for a Democrat says he is considering Hillary or Bernie because he believes Trump is sinking the Republican party. https://www.rawstory.com/2016/03/ive-never-voted-for-a-democrat-ben-stein-flips-support-to-hillary-and-bernie-because-of-trump/ What a trainwreck of a political party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted March 2, 2016 Members Share Posted March 2, 2016 ^ I'm sort of enjoying it as well, although I don't think I'll like what rises from the ashes much better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted March 3, 2016 Members Share Posted March 3, 2016 I just want to marry Robby Mook at some point after he's won the election.... I do wonder if Trump will put states like Ohio and Iowa in play with his populist rhetoric and appeals against free trade and China...someone on MSNBC was even saying Pennsylvania might be in play because of the unions there... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
