As Zeb has often brought out…that VP choice is often a strategic “electoral” one. While Rubio/Haley is a VERY attractive thought…Rubio/Kasich has much stronger electoral “punch” to it.
But folks…The Donald ain’t going NO where soon!
LOL, hahaha…funny stuff
Mufasa,
I thank you for remembering my very early prediction. A Rubio/Kasich ticket would be unstoppable for the republicans. I watched Rubio sign autographs the other day and he was literally surrounded by females. Should Rubio win the nomination those females would not be voting for Hillary. Rubio wins with many key voting blocks. As for Cruz not only can’t he beat Donald Trump. But if per chance he did he could very well blow the general election. When will people realize that about half the country votes on good looks and charisma alone and Cruz has neither. But, he does look sneaky…oh wait that’s a bad thing. I know, I know he’s a good conservative and I totally agree with all who may say that. But, if the republicans don’t win it doesn’t matter how good of a conservative that he is.
And I agree with you Mufasa Donald Trump is going to be very difficult to beat at this point But Rubio is the best chance.
I don’t see Cruz supporters jumping ship to Rubio rather than Trump if Ted gets out of the race.
You didn’t notice that Trump has been calling Cruz the biggest liar he has ever known? And…you don’t think that might just have a negative effect on Cruz voters jumping over to Trump? Certainly, Trump will get some of the Cruz support, but very little. The lions share will go to Rubio. By the way as crazy as this may sound Carson, who has a better chance of catching malaria than becoming the next POTUS, will get some Cruz voters as well.
We are really near the end here boys. It is either going to be the Donald Trump show or Rubio will take him down. It’s not going to go any other way.
Not particularly, no.
Rubio doesn’t have what it takes to take down Trump. The only person who can take down Trump is Trump. Short of nuclear war, I just don’t see him going down. On the Democratic side, with the super delegates being all Clinton people, it will be Hillary and Trump in the end. What will be classic is, will Obama indict Hillary Nixon or not. If he doesn’t, it will be viewed as shameless act of partisanship worthy of Obama never again speaking about the ills of hyper partisanship. If he does, he will pardon her, making her a former felon running for office.
I disagree. I don’t see any chance that Trump can unify enough people to get a majority. If he remains in the lead (which is plausible) I think it will end in a brokered convention. If that is the case, with how Trump has behaved, I don’t see anybody siding with him. He is more divisive than Obama.
If I were going to go negative on Trump, I’d be making hay with this Trump University thing. The guy uses the same “hyperbole dictionary”, whatever product he’s selling. A juxtaposition of his spiel from selling Trump U. vs. selling his Presidential qualifications would be interesting.

Usually when one candidate is calling your candidate a liar repeatedly you take exception to such comments. That’s one reason that I don’t believe that most Bush supporters are going to go to Trump. Some certainly will but most will go to Rubio. Should Cruz leave the race I don’t think the majority of his supporters will flock to Trump. What makes Trump different than the typical candidate leading the race is that he has insulted and alienated in other ways just about every candidate he is competing with. He has created many enemies in the process. Now, no one knows for sure what will happen but I would hazard a guess that the more the field is winnowed down the more Trump will sink because the supporters of the candidates leaving the field will go to ABT (Anyone but Trump).
I sure could be wrong as I have never seen a primary like this in my entire life.
Trump has shown that no matter what he says his supporters will never leave him they must be forced out. So, Rubio won’t be pulling Trump supporters away from him. What Rubio might be doing is pulling supporters away from those who leave the race such as getting the lions share of Jeb Bush supporters. That’s how he takes Trump down. And it’s not too late to do that.
As for your Hillary prediction my wish is that she is indicted after she wins the nomination. 
Ze, The one thing out really don’t have to worry about is Trump winning. As crazy as it may be already and as decisive as the victories have been, he stands no chance for one specific and time tested reason.
He will lose because I like him. That alone sets the universe against him. Even if he takes it all the way, he will be struck down by a meteorite in the midst of taking the oath of office. I’d be willing to bet real cash on it too, as long as it isn’t mine.
Rubio pulling away Jeb supporters ?
The man had more than 5% of the vote in most polls, you are talking about crumbs here. And Trump’s lead is so hyooge that Rubio would need a Mufasa sized share. What I think will happen is the bandwagon effect. Trump will win one, after another, after another, and people will just jump on and ride the wave.
As for Hillary being indicted, it won’t happen. Too many people stand to cash in following her coronation. Too many donors need to their kickbacks.
Former Secretary of State and National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger on Hilary Clinton:
“I’ve known her for many years now, and I respect her intellect. She ran the State Department in the most effective way that I’ve ever seen. I know Hillary as a person. And as a personal friend, I would say yes, she’d be a good president.”
The most effective secretary and national security advisor in the last 50 years has endorsed Hilary. Kinda shits on the she isn’t far and away the most qualified argument.
