What I'm looking at is who can get enough independent, Latino, and millennial votes. Maybe Trump can pull the independents and millennials, but not the latinos. Rubio is young, he is a fresh face, he can pull all 3 demographics if his campaign is run right. No one else on that stage has a shot. And it's a shame because after last night I really like John Kaisich. He doesn't seem like a right wing looney toon like everyone in the first debate and most in the 2nd.
im not a big Hillary fan, but she is a lot better than Rubio. The issue i have with all of this is if Obama behaved like Trump in a debate, he wouldnt be considered for office.
None of them would though MM. But you're right, Obama would be run out of this country and his political career would have been over. Not a surprise though.
Rubio cant pull a moderate, he is a tea party republican, he cant pull moderates denying abortion, climate change and immigration.
heres how these things go. the ones you liked going in did ok or great. the ones you hated going in, blew it. then you stick to confirmation bias and vote who you liked all along. i hate jeb bush but if he had stopped after his first question, he was the winner. he sounded like a president to me whatever that means. i was taken aback. then luckily he kept talking and lying. trump is still a sorta broke idiot playing a billionaire who does what he does though still funny as shit. although its tired as theres no substance to back it up which everyone knew. then again hes better than the rehearsed politicians all day everyday. use cspan as your guide. carson not rehearsed but endearing and somewhat captivating in a way due to his straight talk. still sounds rather simple. i dont get this smartest guy in the room bs. surgeon or not. rand paul who i kinda always liked sorta did nothing. cruz was good but still pretty boring. kasich who ive been following for a few years was not surprisingly impressive but he jumped in the election at the 11th hr. too late for him to even get name recognition. christies an idiot. huckabee was good toward the latter half. mostly points for the hillary quote. rubio is the one dude ive always resonated with most of what he says but somethings off about that dude. i really think hes one step away from the westboro baptist church crazy. maybe its me. oh wait, hes the science denier. and i was oddly impressed with the walker fella at times but i dont think i could ever vote for him simply due to his immigration stance. so to recap, hillary won the presidency.
You don't think there are a lot of those people out there? I think people are underestimating the power the Republican Party has at completely denying the truth and sowing the seeds of doubt and fear on issues like climate science, and defense.
Jeb would be like his father ... pragmatic and capable, but uninspiring and reluctant. Good VP candidate, maybe. Campaigns are way too long and would be boring if not for the comedians that run from time to time. Yep. The ultimate anti-science candidate and he's a physician? He's about half a bubble off of plumb. Too early. And kind of a dull blade, too. I think he got some attention. It's a long race. He'll have to take some positions now. Yep. Huckabee's an idiot. Lots of favorable qualities, but some really big red flags. Walker's an idiot. Too early. She'll win the nomination, though. Whiskey for me.
