thank you bob. perhaps one day you liberals will actually READ and understand the constitution, and why it was created, and then you will become conservatives, and liberals will never again win elections.
Marco Rubio was doing much better than trump in general election polls, he is less polarizing!

Rubio would have lost. The media would have treated him like they did Mitt Romney, and it would have been 50%-47% or something like that, with Crooked Hillary winning. Sorry - we learned our lesson this time around, you didn't get an establishment guy to kick around.

Had it not been for Trump, the JEB vs Rubio race would have been interesting. Rubio benefited from Trump attacking JEB right off and also in getting the endorsement from Nikki Haley.

Without Trump on the other hand, JEB might have been able to take that $150M war chest and nip Rubio before he even got started.

Given what it took for Trump to take down Hillary and the MSM who backed her 100%, I don't think either would have had it in them to beat Hillary.

So by your logic, if Rubio was the nominee he would of buried Hillary even more then Trump did? If that happened how much crying would you have done?

but it would not have mattered in the end. if hillary beat either one, or if either one had beaten hillary, we would have had four more years of obama policies.

Fact check: Every economic measure significantly improved during the years within Obama administration!

And, Hillary was doing better than Trump in the general election polls, so, your point?

I think Jeb would have been the nominee if not for Trump.

I don't think the "logic" went in that direction.

You're not black are you? 9 Facts Shatter Obama's Claim that Black America Is Better Off Since He Took Office Of course, the Democrats wrote off the blacks in favor of the illegal aliens since the illegal aliens reproduce like rabbits.

Trump's claim about weak economic growth under President Obama doesn't tell the full story | PolitiFact

Increasing the debt by 86%? He was trying to "break" the US.

Again, there is no ribbon for 2nd place. Hillary Clinton defeated herself, therefore, I am convinced that it would have been impossible to find a GOP nominee that would not have beaten her pantsuit off (shield your eyes for that).

Anyone elected would have been better than Donald Trump.

at what cost though? yes the stock market went up, but then with the fed constantly feeding it huge amounts of money, it had to go up, at the cost of increasing the debt.

and it goes to show that obama was able to pay off his supporters, with the stimulus package, stealing two automakers from their rightful owners, giving money to eleven solar companies that ultimately went bankrupt, and that money was never repaid to the taxpayers. and yes the unemployment rate went down, but then it would when changes were made to the reporting system that dropped long term unemployed from the roles. at this point the labor participation rates are lower now than at just about any time in history.

Uh, no.

Kasich would have taken vast swaths of independent voters. Rubio too.

Cruz... Flip a coin. He is Lucifer himself.

Now, put in a likeable Democrat with less baggage...
