Ditto with Cruz
Ditto with Rubio

Just as a post script, I wouldn't vote for Jebbers either.

Until the GOP can come up with a decent conservative (aka, not tea party crazy) I will not vote repub.
What do you know about conservatives? Carson is hard for you neo progs to grasp. Born poor got out of it became the world premier surgeon and understands all people can use America to make it big, You guys just hate guys who make it out of poverty

Cut taxes and regulations, and let American's do what they do best....work and make money. No more creating "victims"...if they want a piece of the American Dream, get out there and work for it...it's there, but it does take effort! Everything takes effort...

Whether he'll get the nomination or not...I don't know, but he sure as hell makes a lot of sense!
Talk and rhetoric is cheap. Ben wants to end all those programs that helped get him where he is today.

I see the right-wing is running on the same campaign rhetoric as the last presidential election.

That doesn't mean that Hillary supporters are any less stupid than we all suspect they are. Our current POTUS was put into office by morons, I generally don't doubt the ability of stupid people in large numbers to pull some things off.

And Hillary Clinton isn't running on the same old Hope and Change that sucked in a few million braindead liberals in 08 and 2012? Please, there are over 300 million people in this country and the absolute best option that democrats can come up with is an old, very rich white lady and Bernie Sanders.

The POTUS election isn't a popularity contest, at least it shouldn't be. If you base your vote on who you think is going to win you're just as petty as the idiots who put Obama in office the first time based on nothing more than shallow catch phrases and empty promises.

Those hoards of college age, mushy brained robots chanting Hope and Change didn't exactly do this country any good when they went with their feelings.

Do you think they were too mushy brained to know the difference between hoards and hordes?

Is it really too much to ask that if folks are going to insult other people's intelligence they could do it without spelling errors?

He doesn't have a chance to win the presidency. Just another Don Quixote figure jousting at political windmills. More of an ego trip than anything else.
