    I have to agree. This is the year of "outsider" candidates. They both have legitimate chances. Maybe Bloomberg will throw his hat in the race. It's going to be a weird election

    Love him or hate him, you have to agree with Trump on how this whole f---ing country is walking on eggshells every god d--- second trying to be politically correct. f--- that.

    People need to keep the tissues nearby and either cry themselves to sleep or go jerk off in their hand or get jerked off on. Tissue.

    If it comes to Bernie vs Trump or Cruz, then Bloomberg will enter the race as an independent.

    Bernie is such a f---ing..... ugh. I'd argue that he is doing more harm to the Democratic party Tha Trump is to the GOP. The guy can't win. He needs to take his L and go the f--- home.

    I can't really think of the type of people that would vote for Bloomberg. He would turn off a wide variety of voters with his political views.
    not at all. he's energizing the Democrats and is forcing Hillary to lean further left (or at least talk about utilizing some of bernie's policies) Bernie's supporters are much more liberal, realistic and energized compared to Hillary's. He's the only candidate that is even talking about breaking up the big banks and one of the only candidates whose foreign policy doesn't terrify me.

    I disagree. Rubio isn't ready. He's green behind the ears. People say he's like a Republican Obama, but he's just not there yet. He has too many robotic answers, and has an inconsistent record on immigration. But he has proven to have some knowledge on the Shia-Sunni conflict.

    Im not at all happy with the Line up of repubs.. but i think Rubio gives us the best chance to win.... People would gladly choose rubio over clinton.. cant say the same for trump.. but hopefully he does win against her

    On paper you would think Rubio would have the best shot. But it hasn't really turned out that way. Trump is also polling favorably against Hillary lately, I think that election would come right down the wire. I think Trump will totally schlong Hillary at the debates with all of the scandals, emails, NAFTA, how she's a wallstreet insider, all of her special donors, etc. He won't give her a pass on everything like Bernie has (to a certain extent..) Trump may well do it enough to win. I think people are tired of what they currently have, and that's what Hillary would be.

    But maybe Rubio can run again in a few years and have a better shot. I just get the impression that he's the establishment pick now and people aren't buying that anymore.

    Yeah its become obvious that people are sick of govt.. and Ive been saying to my mates that Trump hasnt really attacked rubio and rubio hasnt attacked trump.. i can see trump picking rubio has veep

    also all this talk with kasich as veep would be nice... would more than likely take ohio in that case.. last poll showed Kasich beating hillary and sanders by 17+

    Well he did call Rubio a lightweight, said he's weak on immigration. Also poked fun at his credit card problems and his poor attendance record as senator. There is talk of him picking Florida Governor Rick Scott as his VP.

    I think Trump needs a stronger vp than Kasich. It would also help if he had a woman/minority.

    I really don't understand why people refer to political correctness as this negative thing. It's called being a decent human being and no one is walking on egg shells because of it. Yeah, if you make stupid statements "thousands of Muslims were celebrating on rooftops on 9/11 in New Jersey" than you're going to be called out for it as you should be. I'm sorry but this idea that as a society we should just accept hateful comments because "f--- political correctness" is dumb.

    He's quickly becoming my favorite Republican candidate, it's a shame he has basically no chance and will end up dropping out after Super Tuesday.
