Rubio is surging on prediction markets right now, almost at 50%, do Republicans really like that guy?

The Demise of Jeb Bush - US News
On a personal level, I really like Jeb. He has a good heart and a good brain to go with it. He lives a modest life style especially considering his personal wealth. His wife is just jewel of a person although at times she does remind me a lot of Sofía Vergara. So how Jeb could be so clueless is beyond me. Jeb's shot at the White House was scheduled for 2000 but a lousy campaign (similar to the present one) kept him from winning the Florida's governors race and the mantle passed to W. Sad story.

Cutting staffing in a campaign is usually one of the first major signs a sinking ship is taking on water.

Absolutely not

Nobody supports him.

I've said this way before.

He is the most overrated candidate.

Fortunately will go away soon.

We've seen a lot of them surging in popularity.

Walker is the obvious, he then went down to %1.

So will Fiorina, Carson and Rubio.

Donald is the nominee.

I certainly hope Trump becomes the nominee, it would be a win / win situation for me... I'd be happy with him or Clinton.

Have you seen how much that guy sweats? I've never seen a young person sweat as much as he does. And he's always drinking that water. He even brought his own to the last debate. He's like a human sponge or something.

But really, if Trump's campaign really does falter by the time the caucuses begin, then I expect that Rubio will get the nomination. He's young, kind of handsome, and delivers his lines well without appearing too hawkish (like Cruz). He's the kind of politician that performs moderately well across a broad swath of demographics, but isn't particularly loved by any of them. So he can go far.

I think we all know Jeb is done for, nobody wants another Bush. And Carson... he's a nice guy, but doesn't have the right stuff to make it to the nomination. What Trump may lack in political experience, he makes up for with his bold personality. Carson on the other hand, doesn't really have that to fall back on.

The problem I have with Bush is that he governs based on his religious beliefs. I used to believe he was a fairly moderate pol, and one I could possibly support, until the Terri Schiavo fiasco. The actions he took in that case are what turned me off to him for good.

While you refuse to accept what the mirror shows you, being as bigoted as you are.

The real problem you have with Bush is that he is not a democrat and that, to you, disqualifies anyone.

That's odd since their political views are the complete opposite of one another.
