    remember that I posted the Trump thread before he blew up all over. I am now posting this about Rubio in the same fashion. He will be right in it soon.

    I'm definitely a Rubio fan... The guy has his priorities and the priorities for the nation straight.

    Kasich/Rubio ...........must win Ohio and Florida. Then, possibly 16 years of Repub WH.

    I think kasich/Rubio would destroy any democrat ticket in the general election.
  • cruiser_96
    I'm not anti-Rubio and I know I shouldn't be anti-Kasich (O-H and all) but Kasich more than Rubio strikes me as a snake; a politician. But Rubio still has elements of it too. Cruz is the same way, and so is Huckabee. Scott Walker would too if he'd get more than 38 seconds to communicate.

    Rubio seems 'Presidential. Kasich, not so much.

    So a group of politicians sound like politicians? Then you have the non-politicians: Trump, not sure he'd be good. Fiorina, no thanks. Carson, non-assertive and doesn't seem willing to fight for the nomination.

    On Carson - I would say he is unwilling to engage in tactics that others are accustomed to. He's a thinker; a problem-solver. He does not waste time. Fiorina isn't great, I agree. Trump is...is...I'm not even sure what would best describe him. I want to say "tool" but he's smarter than that. He does seem one dimensional. He called Dr. Carson an Ok doctor for crying out loud!

    Will there be democrat nominee debates? If so, when?

    If someone says something you know is false and you have the background to be an expert on the topic, why wouldn't you correct them rather than go along? i.e. vaccinations

    So, every month for the next year-plus, we're going to have a new CC thread on what guy/gal he might be voting for? That'll be about as entertaining a circus as watching all 43097503 of the candidates yell at each other.

    Yeah, that part lost me. You have a guy who just outed himself as a fringe dunce and instead of correcting him, you just waffled on it in order to not alienate the fringe dunces. Smart. Move.

    Agreed to an extent. I think people need to remember that just because he's a doctor does not make him an expert on all medical issues. He gave a very basic bland response to the question that he may or may have researched extensively to give a conclusion answer. I personally think its dumb that this even got brought up.

    True. If it got brought up that means it's been mentioned by the other candidates at some point. If that happened. Carson or someone on his team should have spent some time researching it. Carson is in a position to be able to speak more intelligently on the subject if he had prepared for it.

    However, I agree wholeheartedly that it should never have even been brought up.

    There'd at least be the humor there of him botching names left and right, so we'd know he was considering tAd Curise.

    I'm far less afraid of Democrat Hillary, then the progressive/socialist/occupy people that Sanders attracts. They are every bit as 'wacko' as the far right fundamentalists but far more dangerous.
