I just saw the Republican debate. Both Cruz and Rubio went after Thrump. Both are good debaters and double team Thrump with different questions in a minute. To fast to be answered by Thrump. Both rehearsed their attack.

They kept talking while Thrump was trying to answer 1 guestions.

It was brilliant but it was bullshit. They kept saying google what they said. Most of what they said happened more then 30 years ago.

Did they hurt Thrump yes. Will that keep Thrump from winning Florida? The state Rubio as to win to stay in the race no. So Rubio will drop out after Florida.

Thrump and Cruz are close in Texas. If Cruz wins he is still in the race with 150 delegates. If Thrump wins Thrump gets the nomination most likely.

If Thrump wins and becomes president he will nominate John kasich for vp I think.

Foot,

they went after Trump for the stuff that was discussed in the first page of this thread....coincidentally the stuff I bumped yesterday.

I think Cruz will win Texas. So he is definely in it.

Interesting thing is Rubio won the debate. But, if he loses his home state I think he is done. But he did so good he will probably get enough money to keep on in order to keep double teaming Thrump.

If that happens Thrump will go third party to get even.

Also it looks like Bloomberg will also go in a third party.

This election is going to go down in history.

Foot,
I don't see yesterday's debate slowing down Trump's momentum.
The things Rubio and Cruz called Trump out for are common knowledge.

donald trump is a fucking clown

this country will be viewed as a total joke if donald trump is elected

As is Obama and a joke is how the world views our country under his leadership!

You mean the same as the world thought of Obama and Hillary as the Secretary of State

Thrump just got Chris Christie inducement for president.

That means he will head the justice department if Thrump is elected. That happens Hillary going to go to jail. Who knows maybe even Obama.

Trump is a clown? Get the fuck out of here. Nothing has changed for the better in God knows how long. How much worse can this country get. Its time for political reform. Rubio and Cruz cant defeat Trump at this point. What are they going to do if elected? They arent financing their campaigns, so they're going to have repay favors to their contributors. Unfortunately for the other candidates, this country is sick of politicians. And that is what keeps Trumps momentum unstoppable thus far.

Sometimes I feel I would vote for Thrump and some times I don't.

What I don't like is the way those two Rubio and Cruz ganged up on Thrump. He is an older man and I don't like the way they disrespected him.

Especially Rubio he acted like a punk kid like a wise guy.

I wonder who Rubio or Cruz will blame if either are elected and things turn sour for them? I guess Obama just like Obama blamed bush.

Do you think republicans will accept if they can't make things better with the economy?

Because everyone is fed up watching USA go to hell in a hand basket. Go spend some time with someone who served in WWII and see what they did for our country. Sentiment is at an all time low today. Rich pay more and more for people to sit on their rumps and collect. Why? Get them jobs. Hopefully if Trump wins he will get the economy going again and people will work and feel rewarded. Has to feel better than a welfare check!

Rubio just stated that Donald Trump "is flying around on hairforce one."

Also, "He likes to sue people. He should sue whoever gave him that face."

How is your face olivant

I'm starting to like Rubio more and more!

A poll by Public Policy Polling found that a surprising number of Florida voters believe Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz could be the Zodiac Killer.

While a 62 percent majority of voters answered "No" when asked if they believed Cruz was responsible for the string of murders in the early 70s, 10 percent answered "Yes" and an additional 28 percent said they were unsure. Several reports say the rumor stems from a speech Cruz delivered at the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2013 titled "This is the Zodiac Speaking" and has become popular again since he began his presidential campaign.

Now that other candidates are fighting fire with fire ,one of the next logical moves is to bring Trump's creditors from his 4 bankruptcies into the spotlight.

Rubio gave a hint of doing this in the future when he brought up the Trump University case.

If they can put a public face to some of the victims of Trump's business moves.....maybe, just maybe they can stop his momentum.

Rubio sounds like a whinge bag, he sounds like a school boy whining every time he speaks. And that Cruz guy gives me the creeps. He is a real creepaholic. I dont care where he was born but jeeze, he's strange.

Trump would certainly have a few businesses that had to be folded with the vast investments he has been involved in. Is that really an issue for someone at his level.

I would rather someone who can successfully run businesses be POTUS than these other two guys who could not and never had.

democrats want trump to get the nomination, they think they can beat him.

and they can, he will put Hillary in the white house.

so much will come out about trump before the election, Hillary will win by a landslide.

gets is right, 4 bankruptcies is just the tip of the iceberg. it will get much worse for trump down the road.

So the democrats want Trump, as opposed to who? Are the dems really afraid of Cruz or Rubio? Lol. Yeah right.

The only guy that has a chance is Trump. He has the excitement, enthusiasm and momentum behind him. WILL he win? I don't know, and nobody knows. I cant see the country as a whole getting behind these other guys though. They might appeal to certain republican demographics but the country as a whole is a lot different.

Trump may win because nothing seems to stick to him. He joked that he could kill someone and people would still vote for him. But he's also turning away a lot of people. Quoting Mussolini on Twitter isn't helping him, but he doesn't seem to care.

I think Cruz will win Texas, but that will be it. He really wanted the endorsement of Senator Jeff Sessions and is probably depressed over the fact that Sessions supports Trump. Trump also got the support of three governors. Cruz has no one. Plus while a lot of Dems don't like Trump, many seems to HATE Cruz.

Rubio is a good fast-talking debater, young and attractive, so in that sense could be a threat to Hillary...if he wins the primary, which is increasingly unlikely.

On the Dem side, I think Bernie will throw in the towel in a couple weeks. After all he said about Hillary, if he starts campaigning for her he'd be in danger of being seen as a sell-out. For as bad as Trump is in many ways, I think Hillary is not only Machiavellian but totally corrupt.

Cruz is an idiot. He said Thrump did not produce his tax returns because he did business with the Mafia.

He drops fat Tony Salerno name. He says Salerno is in jail

Salerno been dead apx 24 yrs. He had an legal construction business in the 70's 80s.

So what does Cruz want thrumps tax returns for the past 40 yrs?

How stupid are these Cubano's Cruz and Rubio?

donald trump knows how to play on this country's racism which is why he's winning primaries

this fucking dolt shouldn't be the president of anything but the hair for men club

I don't think it's a big deal (except to people interested in OC) that Cruz made a mistake about Fat Tony being in jail. The Huffington Post had an article about Trump and his supposed Mafia connections and the reporter who wrote it -- who should know better -- referred to Nicky Scarfo as the "late Nicky Scarfo." Unlike Salerno, Scarfo is still alive and in prison. An organized crime reporter ought to know better. A political candidate who's busy campaigning (and is NOT an OC expert) and gets a lot of his info from his staff can't be held to that same standard.

DP,

Just mentioning what the next logical step might be in the Rubio campaign. Might stick, might not.

Just as an observer.



F1,

good point about the errors about crime figures. Several times some of the members here have pointed out glaring errors in newspaper articles, books from big publishers, documentaries on cable channels, and even reports from NEWS broadcasts about crime figures.

Cruz knows that 99.9% of the people don't know or care to know about his error.He just wanted to associate Trump with gangsters.

American brothers I must give you an advise !
Don't vote Trump !!!
Trump is the american version of Berlusconi !!!

Berlusconi is a joke, fulled Italy with shit.
Made the italy like a sudamerican banana repubblic.
He and Trump had in Common the same ideas on women,immigration ecc.
Again don't vote Trump. We're are still recovering by the Berlusconi era damages.

While I totally get the reservations about Trump, anyone who criticizes him and says he would be a disaster as president (while planning to vote for Hillary) is a fraud and a phony. She'd definitely be the worse of the two evils.

Hilary is as bad as it gets. Which is why it's funny hearing everyone talk about Trump like he's such a scary disaster as opposed to all these other choices.

I'm libertarian and Trump isn't. I really don't like any of his economic policy ideas, but I'm kind of rooting for him anyways. He has all the bad guys against him and pissed off that he's doing so well. The awful, ridiculous mainstream media, all the dirt bag phony establishment politicians, the political Left, the political correct army, the establishment Political Right wing... All mad at his success and for that, I appreciate his candidacy.

but, just what are trumps views? on foreign policy, on domestic policy, on wall street, on the middle east wars, on other world leaders, and especially putin.

why wont he discuss issues, is he afraid of showing his ignorance? if he is going to unite the republican party, lets hear what he has in mind, for his presidency.

The other republican elections were elected to stop Obama socialist agenda. They did not do it.

So a lot of republicans are decussed with the republican establishment.

That is why a lot of them are voted for Thrump.

Rubio is doing bad, but he has a ton of republican establishment money behind him. Not to win, but to get enough delegates support so Thrump can not get enough delegates to get the nomination.

So it will be brokered convention.

Do that to Thrump he will join a third party. That will lead the Hillary to win. Or if she is indited will lead to Biden to enter or Bloomberg to enter as a third party canadate.
