Who should be the next president?

Rand dropped out. too libertarian for the GOP, not libertarian enough for his Dad's followers. He's better in the Senate I think.

This election would be a lot more interesting if Hillary hadn't run or if dems had dispensed with her the way the GOP thankfully did Jeb.

Hlilary barely beat Bernie in Iowa.

lol... The coin toss: "Heads Hillary wins, Tails Bernie loses" And the coin is tossed... [That's how Hillary won all the coin tosses]

the chances of winning 6 coin tosses in a row is like 1/64 or something?

What I want to know is, who picked the quarter?

As far as Rand Paul - there was something about his personality that irritated the heck out of me, even when I agreed with him.

Kasichs gimmick as the budget balancing guy shouldn't be underestimated in a a country thats 19 trillion dollars in debt. if he really wants to do that I'd be on board even though I don't know anything else about him. less is more isn't that what the Ramones taught us or KISS or whoever it was

Christie spent millions in ads slamming Marco Rubio . . . and still finished behind him!
A shame Marco totally blew the debate Saturday night. I'm hoping he can make up some ground before SC on the 20th.
The thought of a Trump presidency literally terrifies me.

This is the worst group of candidates I've seen in my lifetime.

I don't believe in second chances... Marco blew it with the gang of eight... a vote for Marco is a vote for Obama's Immigration. He never going anyway. I do love how Rush keeps pumping this liar up.

Christie is a joke... I'm pleased he finally dropped.

Bush is another joke... really, who is going to vote for Bush 3 when Bush 2 cannot defend himself (this is why Trump is winning... I would love to see the Media pull the same crap they pulled on Bush 2 when Trump is president... Heck, I could see Trump throwing the shoe back!

Get ready... Trump is going to be president... and Ted Cruz, Scott Walker or Rick Perry is going to be the Vice-President... :)

I doubt it, but his chances are getting better. If Trump wins the nomination I doubt he could defeat whoever the Democrats put up. Too high negatives, too many Republicans would cross the aisle just to vote against him and too many people who never would vote anyway would turn out just to vote against him. My dad is a lifelong hater of socialism and he swears he would vote for Sanders in a Sanders-Trump race. Sure, he has passionate support, but he inspires even more passionate hatred.

The Republicans know this, they will do whatever they can to keep him from getting the nomination. To me the most likely scenario seems to be Trump runs as an independent, splits the Republicans and the Democrats cakewalk to the Presidency.
