Going Commando Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 My sense is that Jeb is far smarter than Dubya. Smarter than Rubio too. Not as politically gifted though. Rubio is extremely natural and affable, but he does come off like a bit of a lightweight and empty suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visionary Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Lot of talk about Jeb and W campaigning together tonight on CNN. Seems to be gaining some steam for him.

Days before the first Southern primary of 2016, Mike Murdock, a prominent Texas-based televangelist, will formally endorse Republican Donald Trump for president at a rally in Greenville, South Carolina, on Monday. “He has a warrior spirit for restoring America in the eyes of the world and he has a warrior’s heart,” said Murdock, the head pastor at the Wisdom Center ministry, told Bloomberg News in an interview. “I am endorsing him for president.” Murdock, who frequently preaches about prosperity, arguing that a strong moral faith will lead to financial success for Christians, joins a handful of high-profile evangelists who have backed the billionaire candidate who's battling for supremacy in the Feb. 20 Republican primary in South Carolina. Two-thirds of Republican voters in the state describe themselves as evangelical. “We feel as evangelicals that God is being ignored," said Murdock, who also preaches as a televangelist on multiple national and international networks and has nearly a quarter-million Twitter followers. "We feel that there’s content for God in the Bible, and I believe that Mr. Trump has a heart of restoration, including restoring us economically.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 I wonder who wins a Bernie-Cruz-Trump-Bloomberg race?

Rubio looks 12 and when called on the carpet by Christi for repeating a 20 second sound bit from his campaign... Rubio went on to give the same memorized blurb 5 more times.. He's not ready.

More than 100 activists were packed between a curry buffet and a canvas sign for Bernie Sanders. They talked. They made caucus commitments. They cheered as a “multiethnic coalition” of speakers asked them to dump the longtime Democratic presidential front-runner. “She had the same information as Bernie, and she voted for the war in Iraq,” said Vicenta Montoya, an immigration lawyer. “She supported a wall along the border. And while she was secretary of state, she did absolutely nothing to alleviate the hardship of people separated from their families.” “The white Americans have already shown the momentum in Iowa and New Hampshire,” said Zaffar Iqbal, a doctor and a member of Muslims for Bernie. “Now is the turn for Nevada to stand up.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacase Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 This election is so bad, can we just say no to everyone and throw them all out and start again. Is this really what American politics have come to, potentially electing the worst president in US history and there have been some bad ones. Every single one of these people is a joke. I am a conservative and I would almost BEG Biden to run so I could vote for someone competent even if I disagreed with their politics. I am holding my nose and Voting Rubio at this point, who knows what will happen between now and November. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMS Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Donald Trump isn't impressive. Nothing more than a con man. Last debate was pretty brutal for the front runners.. Both Trump and Cruz were roundly boo'd every time they touched the mic. Trump when challenged went wild.. Condemned the audience, condemned all his challengers, condemned former republican presidents. It was a dramatic show. Not sure it hurt or helped Trump. I think the best two candidates positioned to take advantage of the GOP's new policy of populating national debates with party loyalists ( big money donors) are Bush and Kassich. I think Robo Rubio hurt himself badly in the N"H debate. Think the GOP are gunning for both Trump and Cruz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
