Great idea for the Democrats since assures them a win. Who comes up with this insanity?

Considering that Rubio and Kasich both beat Hillary and Sanders in head-to-head polls by a larger margin than any other candidates, in every single poll, even ones that give Trump a slight chance, please explain how such a ticket would assure a win for Democrats.

So, a ticket that includes 2 that are for amnesty and 1, who in addition to supporting amnesty, also wants to increase the number of H1-B visas. All this while Americans go without work.

Kasich/Rubio? No thanks.

My immediate reaction was that Kasich would do well to keep an eye on the floor for banana peels if they did win.

You mean like this fellow supports amnesty?

Donald Trump supports legal residency for "good" illegal aliens

That Time Donald Trump Had A Meeting With DREAMers And Said; "You Convinced Me On Immigration" - BuzzFeed News

Blog: 'Dreamers' convinced Trump to support amnesty...in 2014

Who knew? Trump favors amnesty for undocumented immigrants

Donald Trump's amnesty plan

But, let me guess, it's different because it's Trump.

Is that a stock reaction to any Repub pair, or is there another duo you would rather see?

I grant you, I disagree with Trump when he says he wants to let some illegals back into this country. However, who else is talking about the wall and stopping illegal immigration? Certainly not Kasich or Rubio.

Did you vote yet? Did you make up your mind before going? Or did you go to your local polling place and agonize over the republican ballot? Mind you, I'm not asking for whom you cast your vote---only if you made up your mind and voted.


Again, no way would I vote for a Kasich/Rubio ticket.

Good question and I will answer. Today I went and cast my vote for Trump. Should he win, I have no idea as to who will be the VP on the ticket

I'm an independent who was once a staunch democrat. There was a time when dems truly looked out for the poor, working and middle classes. Today they put illegals ahead of the millions of suffering underemployed and unemployed Americans. Neither party is looking out for Americans but at one time I expected (and got) much, much more from the dems. Today's dems have lost their way. That said, if the choice were between a RINO or a bluedog dem, I would take the bluedog as they remember what dems once stood for.

Can Kasich even win Ohio? I have seen more than one article saying he may not.

Gov. Kasich on the ropes in Ohio? Sullivan's Morning Musings | cleveland.com

Rubio can only win when they cheat for him.

Not probably the best choice of a ticket.

I walked in your shoes for a good deal of my life.....then RR became pres and I looked in the mirror one day and said "EEEEEEEEKKKKK!!! I think I may be a Repub!!!!" Many years since then, went and changed to Indy because I couldn't stomach the Moral Majority movement at that time (Christian, but know how to separate politics from my religion).

Now just searching for a candidate that I can trust to do the right thing and can believe in. Is that too much to ask???
