Airborne, I'm conservative, but I see Rubio as the republican version of Obama. Young, well spoken guy, but has no executive background in either private enterprise or public office, and is a career politician. Has not run anything in his life. I lean more towards governors or even a business dude like Trump, since executive managerial experience is an important skill for the POTUS, otherwise nothing gets done (i.e. Obama). Rubio would be perferct for VP though.
Not a bad assessment. I can see your points. Executive experience is something the president should have. Obama was a disaster from start to finish. Unqualified to lead a law department, much less the country.
Trump is the only Republican I would vote for, as he's more a Huey Long style populist than a Walker type. The Pat Buchanan/Ross Perot anti-free trade wing of the party is the only side of it I can stomach.
Trump is kind of like Bloomberg. He's rich and he doesn't have to take anyone's crap.
However, I not too keen on him pandering to anti-abortionists. Planned parenthood should be on every street corner. It will save costs in policing, housing prisoners, and rehabilitation of criminals. Nip the problem in the bud. I don't care if the fetal body parts gets sold. Make stem cells out of them and cure diseases and regrow body parts! Bible thumpers are no better than taliban...the only difference is they aren't cutting off heads and suicide bombing...yet.
He says he's a builder. Will he rebuild nyc penn station and finally demolish madison square garden? Will he build more hudson tunnels? What's his stance on passenger rail and the train to the plane? I'm about the infrastructure. The northeast corridor desperately needs this to stay competitive, livable, and sane.
What's his stance on the space program and renewable energy?
I think he's a hypocrite on china and mexicans. Many of his products are made in china. He's got mexicans working for him. He loves cheap labor as much as the next employer. Too me, he's pandering again. I don't think he'd build a wall even if he gets elected.
The only thing he's got going from him is that he is the sanest candidate in the republican party. The rest are all nutjobs. I'd vote for republican that got finances in order, build infrastructure that we need, and is somewhat socially liberal (like a 90's guilani or bloomberg).
I'd rather have Bloomberg for president but he's trying to repeal the 2nd amendment.
There are lots of signs pointing that voters are sick of the same career politicians that always have to speak PC in front of voters but delivers nothing that meaningful to voters.
Obama is the perfect example how he was touted that he supported middle class and working poor. He's championed that he does not give into special interest groups but in fact he work with many powerful lobbying groups. So far none of his policies has helped the middle class at all, he helped increased the income inequalities exponentially.
Let's get rid of all these career politicians that only speak for corporations. I rather vote for one and that's the Trump corporation, the lesser evil than all other evil corps out there.

I'm starting to warm to Trump as well. The career politicians need a lesson to be taught to them. He can't be more of a disaster than 8 years of W.
I love the fact that Trump is p.issing off the career politicians on both parties, I hate PC people. Trump is so rich he does not have to s.uck up to anybody its and making the phony career politicians like Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton mad.

At the beginning of this, I looked at Trump as the comic relief candidate. Now I have to think he has a actively good shot of winning the nomination. If he does, the same dissatisfaction with the political establishment that's driving his candidacy now could win him the election. None of the candidates on the Democratic side look to be lighting the campaign on fire.

Bernie Sanders is lighting the campaign trail on fire but the media doesn't want to cover him = giving him less publicity. I hope Bernie wins the Democratic ticket and Trump wins the GOP and the two go head to head. I'm a fan of different and we haven't seen candidates like Trump and Sanders getting so much hype in the past so I'm really excited about 2016 and what the future will hold for the America.
