Who should be the next president?

[Zapranoth]

If it came down to starring in a bad movie, I would watch Trump over any of them.  He would make a much better bad movie.

But, our presidential primary is not a bad movie.

Ever feel American politics is sort of like what's happening at the 1:25 point of this clip?

You know, I'll never forget my old dad.
When these things would happen to him... the things he'd say to me.

I was thinking about my last statement of Ultraman being president, but he's a bit big.

Someone like Gerarachin would be up for the job!

I thought that Chris Christie, lurking over Trump's shoulder during The Donald's victory speech last night, looked about as happy as Princess Leia chained to Jabba the Hutt (but considerably less attractive!).

Gov. Christie's expression was one of those what-the-heck-am-I-doing-here ones. 

Just BTW: I am sorry that Dr Carson dropped out: I liked him.

He is a wonderful and admirable man, but the more I listened to him, the more I realized he had no business being President.
Some men are simply too decent for the job.

That's exactly why I've never thrown my hat into the race.

I'd never thought Ben Carson was running for president. I do think he's trying to run for Vice-President. I wouldn't be surprise that he's looking to be the balancing act for Trump or Rubio... Though, I'm beginning to hate Rubio more and more and would prefer him to drop out! I don't care what Rush said about Rubio... I think Rubio is as much as a Reagan Conservative as Hillary Clinton! And we all know why the Establishment wants Rubio or Clnton... Amnesty!

I do think Rubio should drop and give Ted Cruz a chance... it would be nice to see Cruz and Trump go head to head... Either case I would still be happy to vote for Trump or Cruz... I'm not sure I'll vote for Rubio (if I do it's because I don't want Hillary and then it'll be the last time I'm voting for republican!)

fixed...

lol...

Yeah running for president is cut-throat stuff. Ben Carson seemed too nice; even when he tells us that he almost stabbed somebody with a knife, you sort of feel that he's trying to make it sound like he's tough but he's also giving an impression that he can go psycho. This didn't move me away from Ben Carson - actually I would love to see a psycho in the white house :)

The problem I have with Ben Carson, and the same with Ted Cruz, that both guys have trouble getting their messages out. Some may say that Trump is overshadowing the spotlight but I don't think that's the case. Ben Carson and Ted Cruz are repeating from what Trump had said. Example: Trump was the first to say about closing the border, the media spent 2 weeks making fun of Trump then Kate Steinle is killed by an illegal alien... then suddenly Ben Carson and Ted Cruz agrees with Trump about the border.

Please note: If Ted Cruz is serious about winning he needs to focus his attacks on the Establishment, Hillary Clinton and Obama... He needs to say something that Trump has not and he needs to say something that Trump will agree :)

I don't care what they said about Trump's slogan "Make America Great Again!" The slogan is an assault on Obama and the Establishment (or the current Republican Party that's working with Obama and the Democrats). And that's why Trump is far ahead of the game.


Sorry I just couldn't stop myself... :)

WOW after listening to Mitt Romney attack on Trump... I came up with 2 conclusions.

1... If you don't like Trump... Vote for Ted Cruz

2... If you don't like Ted Cruz.. Vote for Trump

DON'T VOTE FOR ANYBODY ELSE!

I don't see how trump can lose at this point. The country isn't going to rally around Hillary Clinton

[indianasmith]

If it's Trump vs. Hillary, I think he'll do good to get 45% of the vote.

Roughly a third of the GOP is nuts for him, another third will hold their noses and vote for him, and the third I belong to will shake their heads and either stay home or vote Libertarian or write-in.

Women, Hispanics, and blacks will go overwhelmingly for Hillary because, even if Trump is NOT a bigot (which I don't believe for a minute), every bigot in the country is rooting for him.

It's going to be a GOP massacre.

Not sure that's true at all. 

Lot of the primaries so far have been so-called "open" primaries, meaning non-R's can vote.  Those are pretty much done.

Also, some states like SC give all delegates to one candidate, even if individual districts did not vote for him.  That's not true of every state.  Take a look at the delegate numbers for the states that split 'em up.  Trump ain't doing as well as 'reported.'

Have you looked at the actual delegate numbers vs just listened to the spin?  He is most definitely NOT winning by "all the others combined" as the common theme is reported.  In fact, give Rubio's delegates to Cruz (or vice versa) and pretty much either is beating him now, or close enough to it to make it a race.

It's far from a 'done deal.'
