Trump! It is all about jobs. Trump offers the best plan, possibly only plan that puts all the issues together in a workable package. He'll need our support throughout his presidency to keep our elected officials on their toes and supporting us rather than the interest of big business and foreign countries.

For those who voted Rubio, what appeal does he possibly have? He hits the Bible hard and has no experience or substance.

I do not have any political scientific proof but grew up in a liberal strong hold and have many family and friends that belong to the {D} party. I know no one that is a Hillary supporter, they are either on the Bern bandwagon or already considering a {R}. Some of those were looking at Kasich/ Christie and some have said that if it is Hillary or Trump they are going to roll the dice with Trump.

Looking at the forum Trump must have cross over appeal when we hear the conservatives yelping that Trump is a liberal and pointing out his record of belonging to and supporting the {D} party.

I don't know how much cross over appeal Trump has, but Cruz has NONE. Does Rubio have any? I don't see it. What exactly about him is appealing? He's a religious conservative with little experience.

You'll find out in November when he crushes Hillary by 10 points in the general.

Right before delivering a victory speech which is the same thing repeated over and over again?

Happily it is just a poll, as I went with Donny.


Conservative I can accept which Donny really isn't-- despite his rhetoric if you drill down below it he can have a bit of sense about what he says. However--the attitude in saying it ugh.


No freaking way do I want Teddy and his holier than though followers having anymore influence than they already do. And Marco I have no idea who or what pulls his strings.

Trump. He is a populist and that is essentially a democrat. I'm a center left Indie and I might vote for him if he gets the nomination. I like his basic philosophy, but have a problem with his demeanor and temperament.
