The pubs will lose.
Not because they are evil, but because they can not re-brand fast enough.

Lindsey Graham is in it now
This is going to be one entertaining election season.
It is so fun to watch these guys back peddle and squirm when they have to reverse themselves on past issues.
I can't wait for the debates!

Re: amphibious
I had a friend of mine who was a quite attractive young lady and a roofer.
She told me one of her male co-workers told her, as they where working on a roof doing silly banter: "I want to simulate your erroneous zones." We both howled with laughter at him making a complete jackass of himself. Facepalm here.

Americans need to work longer hours
"My aspiration for the country and I believe we can achieve it is 4% growth as far as the eye can see," he said, according to The Washington Post. "Which means we have to be a lot more productive, workforce participation has to rise from its all-time modern lows. It means that people need to work longer hours and, through their productivity, gain more income for their families." `Jeb
So I think this will probably not win him any votes, out of touch is a understatement.

Re: Ben Carson more red meat
The smile too, forced and fake. I bet his hands are cold and clammy and his handshake as limp as a dead fish. Uuuggh!!!
This the GOP clown car is so entertaining this cycle I can not wait for the primaries!!!
I actually am beginning to believe Ben Carson is attempting to out Trump, Trump in the " say anything crazy dept. " I heard him say on a Fox Chris Wallace interview that he would if elected impose NO FLY zones in Syria. Wallace: paraphrase...you would shoot down a Russian jet?
Carson: smirks: thats what no fly zones are...you dont fly there.
Wallace: YOU would risk getting us into a war with russia, you stupid vapid yutz !!! Ok maybe Wallace didnt say that but he thought it.
Edited by 1.61803, : Chris Wallace

Bloomberg source says a run possible
Bloomberg considers a Independent run if the field contains Sanders vs Trump-or Cruz.
Wow. This will probably split both democrat and republican moderates and independent voters .

wtf?
I just can not believe Donald Trump is winning.
I realize what the alternatives are:
Ted Cruz...calcitrant, abrasive, pious nasally condecending.
Marco Rubio..repetitive,patronizing,errand boy sent by grocery clerks.
But Donald wacko Trump???
It doesn't matter what he does or what he says he just keeps gaining momentum.

Re: Walls
He is a rich self absorbed twit who probably can not believe how stupid the American public in general is. He is probably in private saying , " Can youse believe how I am winning so YOO-GE!? I could squat down on the podium and take a shit on a photo of Obama and it would win me votes."

Re: wtf?
I agree with this. I'd rather have Trump win than Rubio or Cruz.
Worse case scenario if he by some chance got the presidency, the congress could hopefully corral him like
the mad King George, before he did to much damage.
And before any Englishman gets his knickers in a twist, I am kidding.

Super Tuesday
Well I just came from the voting booth and cast my blue chip into a sea of red.
I was the only democrat to walk up to the Dem side to vote while the Republican line was very very long.
I love Texas but having to watch another commercial about "Obama Refugees, building a wall on the border and how pure my conservative values are", is so trite. Almost every seat and position has some yahoo in a cowboy hat, boots, jeans, and toting a firearm. Whilst standing near border agents or shots of people running through the desert. lol.
This formula works well here.
I am glad to be able to vote. Go Bern!
He wont get any delegates from Texas.
Cruz will probably come in the Victor by a narrow margin. But who knows Trump may have pulled a hat trick.

Yah...well the GOP will fall in line. They will have to accept the new brand.
Never underestimate just how stupid we Americans can be.
I am personally mortified.
