This is kind of what I figured, I’m sure there is a solid chunk of people that actually believe in Trumps rants but the rest have just lost all confidence in the political system and would enjoy watching it be turned on its head.
Neither. I will vote for neither of these two. If people didn’t cling to the ridiculous idea that you must vote for one or the other than maybe we could get, gasp, a third, fourth, or even fifth viable party / candidate.
He’s a Republican, though, so it’s okay…

Trump will definitely appoint constitutionalists to the SCOTUS, lol…
I will be more than happy to admit to Trumps staggering incompetence (for the third time I am for Rubio). Furthermore, I think he is about the worst thing that ever happened to the republican party. This was the year that I was going to sit back and enjoy watching a good republican capture the nomination and then trounce Hillary Clinton. Trump has changed all that because we now have a country where substance has taken a firm backseat to flash. We saw it with Obama who was remarkably unqualified to become President, not to mention he has been the most left wing President in my lifetime. But back to Trump, quite honestly the man makes my skin crawl I can’t stand him. But, if you had paid attention you would not have written a post telling me how unqualified Trump is–Ha no shit!
And yet still…after all of that…he’s far better than Hillary (the left wing liar) Clinton.
Should Trump actually get the nomination and Hillary not be indicted (will Obama allow the FBI to actually do it’s job?) it will be a sad day in America for people to choose between those two.
Without question in my lifetime the worst choice that the country has ever been provided with.
Hillary has promised not to. Trump may get pressure based upon reelection hopes…as I’ve already informed you.

- Trump has greatly inflated his net worth. He’s a hundred-millionaire.
- Trump is NOT self-funding. Something like 92% of his expenses are donated from others. Yes, he put in a lot at first. Not anymore. More to the point, Trump’s entire liquidity is from mortgaging projects, so he is very much beholden to Wall Street.than anyone in the race.
It’s called being a “disputer.” Disrupters have their place (see Boston Tea Party), but, as seen in Libya and Syria, it’s a rather good idea to have a plan as to what takes its place.
Given Trump has shown a strong fascist tendency (and, no, I am not using that word lightly) with his proposal to: (1) restrict the First Amendment to limit political speech with which he disagrees; (2) gun grabbing (pro-assault weapons ban); (3) and history of using government for personal ends (eminent domain), I don’t like what I see taking the current government’s place.
Trump is a classic strong-man fascist, in the likes of Mussolini. That has never ended well.
Pretty much sums it up.
Remarkable when you’ve lost Salon.
…Meanwhile, as statistician Joshua Loftus notes: “Dangerously, even Donald Trump and Ted Cruz get a much greater proportion of independent voters than Clinton.”
…She’s made it clear that she won’t seek to reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, which Bill repealed, and whose absence is broadly considered central to the 2008-2009 financial crisis, during which countless Americans lost their savings, homes, and jobs, while major banks were bailed out from the public coffers and bank executives continued receiving massive bonuses. ( I want this brought up the next time she brings up income inequality.)
There is a lot more to fascism than brown shirted thugs and the attempted murder of an entire people. FDR used to brag he was an “American Fascist” or the “American Mussolini” . . . . well before the whole WWII thing.

That may be all true but Rubio got what was coming to him. He’s not ready for prime time or the position of POTUS and he got exposed. Christie didn’t trick him or play him. Rubio is just an easy target who shouldn’t even be in this position but happened to be chosen by enough republican power brokers. I thought to myself at the time there’s no way Rubio can come back from that (based on what I’ve seen from him). That is not an argument for Trump, just an observation that people like Rubio are easy pickings for people like Trump.
Rubio is done, it’s over for him. This will be confirmed tomorrow after he gets slaughtered. Really bad choice for the “establishment” to go all-in on and more evidence of the GOPs myopia. He’s handsome, technically a minority, and isn’t a sociopath but that isn’t enough to be a serious candidate. It’s amusing it took until the last debate before Super Tuesday for the GOP establishment to get serious about Trump.
What I don’t understand is how Cruz is having such a hard time. He’s an unwavering ideologue and is still losing support from groups like evangelicals to Trump. Cruz is the only option that can beat Trump and even that is unlikely. What’s even more unlikely is Cruz beating Hillary in the general election. That probably explains why a lot of power brokers were hoping Rubio could be a serious candidate but they miscalculated.
The miscalculation was getting behind Jeb Bush and funding his $30M of attack ads on Rubio.
It is not over for anyone, as the potential for a brokered convention is still a likely possibility.
Not really. Salon is an uber liberal publication intended for uber liberal readers. Hillary is not and never was uber liberal. Not even close and hence Salon bitching about her not being liberal enough.
The thing is uber liberals just aren’t that important of a voting block and it would actually hurt Hillary more to be pandering to publications like Salon. And Salon knows what it’s doing and that’s to apply pressure on Hillary to become more sympathetic to the liberal agenda. If Salon was serious or mattered that article would have been posted before Hillary won by 50 points in South Carolina. No one seriously thinks anyone but Hillary is going to get the Dem nomination and only a hack would deem her un-electable given her current slate of potential opponents.
Bush was a miscalculation too but I don’t fault the power brokers as much b/c at least Bush was a serious candidate. Rubio is not even close to being ready and probably never will be. He’s not cut out for it and there’s a reason he’s getting picked apart. It’s over for him dude, and it will be very obvious by tomorrow night. All he’s doing is making it impossible for Cruz to be an alternative candidate.
The GOP will fuck itself into oblivion if some bullshit brokered convention process forces Rubio as the nominee. I don’t think they’re that stupid. And obviously Trump would go out of his way to make sure the republican nominee loses in a landslide if that were to happen.

I’m not saying Rubio was the best choice in the beginning, but he is now. He is BY FAR more electable than Cruz in the general. I’m not a fan of how Cruz has run his campaign.
Kasich is the most qualified on paper. I would almost always pick a governor over a senator, but unfortunately this race isn’t giving that choice.
I’m not sure what you mean by Trump would go out of his way to go against the nominee. There are sore loser laws that would not enable him to run as a third party at that point.
