election next time around

[vickie gee]

He brought up the issue of the legality of Cruz's citizenship. Makes me wonder if that had a twofold purpose of (1) keeping Cruz from gaining too close to him in the polls and (2) clearing the way for Cruz to be his VP running mate by plucking a birther issue out of the way before the dems try to use it. I have not heard anything about who he would pick to run with him. We can say whatever we want to about him...he has shown several sides of himself, and so far I have not seen stupid. He knows how to play it smart.

 

[vickie gee]

And then in last night's debate a moderator pointed it out in one of the questions almost first rattle out of the box. An interesting exchange of words between the two indicates that either might consider the other as a running mate. Last night's debate was better than the others. Just wish Rand Paul had been up there rather than that one that looks like he is signing for the hearing impaired. I heard before the debate that one of the polls is showing Bush in third place. I can only see that as false hopeful for progressives.

 

[lucky seven]

I've been thinking today about a Trump presidential bid against Clinton. The way he speaks of the people of NY city makes me think he can take my state. I really think if he takes the city away from her the whole state would be his. If Ted Cruz was his running mate, I think Texas would be his as well. These are two large electrial vote states. If Trump chooses the woman everyone is talking about, he would gain the women's vote away from Hilary and because her parents are from India, that would dispose of the anti immigration issue as well. Time will tell. But overall I enjoyed the debate.

 

[vickie gee]

Even now I hope he surrounds himself with qualified people to school him areas where he is lacking.

If he had not been so full of himself he might have received a little coaching from anyone who has actually listened to Biblical phrases read to an audience before his recent Two Corinthians foot in mouth episode. Donald, Donald, Donald, apparently you never attended a Sunday School class or had yours ears tuned to very many sermons. I thought maybe instead of a Baptist joke he was going to tell something different like "two Corinthians walk into a bar". His blunder ranked right up there with Obama talking about "corpse men." Yeah, we all make mistakes, some are just epic and heard round the world.

The other side will have fun with the two Corinthians, no doubt. But for now Hil's to do list likely reads (1) Beat Bernie (2) stay out of prison.

After the last Republican debate I just had to see what Saturday Night Live could do with their spin on it. It is good to be able to laugh when running so low on hope.

 

[vickie gee]

I just hope and pray that an election will actually take place.

 

[lucky seven]

I'm really scared that we will have two idiots to choose from.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

I'm really scared that we will have two idiots to choose from.

Ahhhh so Election time is the same right across the world.

1 candidate is already dubbed the "idiot", so we vote for the other.

The other makes many promises (so we vote for them) and in the end , they take the prize for the biggest "idiot" going

 

[vickie gee]

So Hillary beats Sanders by 2/10 of a per cent in the Iowa. This was decided by 6 coin tosses in the precincts in which they were tied. She should have gone to Vegas afterwards I suppose with that "lucky" streak. To quote Gomer Pyle "SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE.

Cruz the winner for the other side. Trump still a hoot (among other things but I am just not sure what they are).

 

[lucky seven]

Glad Cruz won, that should shut Trump up about the Canada issue and I'm very happy M Rubio was a close third. I'm beginning to like this guy, hopefully he doesn't have anything to hide that Clinton can use against him. Hilary is acting like she cruised to a big win, big mistake with New Hampshire next in line. Burnie country.

Bernie country.

 

[vickie gee]

Poor Bernie. I hope he got the vaccine for the Arkansas Flu.

 

[AngC]

I wonder whether Bernie makes it to the election. That old fart looks older than me. (...perhaps being a socialist ages you prematurely?)

I wish Ted Cruz hadn't started lying about his prior support of immigration legislation. I don't know whether his position was good or bad, but when you start lying and back-pedaling, you just sound like another POS politician.

 

[Sonya]

I do believe that Megan Kelly came out and apologized regarding the Cruz immigration position, she admitted she was wrong and so was Rubio.

The Cruz/Carson thing I don't like. I would hope that Cruz didn't know about that false email going out that Carson had suspended his campaign.

Rand Paul just suspended his campaign supposedly.

 

[vickie gee]

Trump is acting like a spoiled child wanting a re-vote. He is pushing me toward Cruz, especially since Rand Paul is now out.

 

[lucky seven]

These are some very sorry excuses for people running for President. I can't say politician because Trump isn't one and neither is Carson. As far as flipping a coin, if you can't make up your mind, then don't vote because there is always someone who will want a recount or just make a general fuss. I'm not watching the Town Hall tonight between Bernie and Clinton, just not enough Rolaids to get me through the night. Sorry to see Rand Paul dropping out, hopefully he will be reelected to his seat and help this country that way.

 

[vickie gee]

To be very honest I really don't like any of the choices the more I study them. I guess that I will say I did my part in the end voting for whomever I consider the lesser evil. And, in reality I believe as many do in that they are selected rather than elected.

 

[AngC]

To be very honest I really don't like any of the choices the more I study them. ...

I agree; the choices are sucking.

All of them promise the world--never mind that we have 3 branches of government--rendering it doubtful whether they'll be able to implement their promises.

...sounds good on the campaign stump, though.

 

[vickie gee]

But then on the flip side of the coin (pun intended) I am very thankful I am not one of those "want Hillary because it is time for a woman". That is about as bright in that " I felt I had to vote for Obama the first time to show that I am not racist. " Pulleeeez. Edit to say I am not one of the millions....Pulleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez to the millionth degree. How is that working out for ya?

Also ever thankful that the recitation " my daddy was a democrat, his daddy was a democrat, my great grand dad was a democrat, so I will always " will never be heard from me. Furthermore, any interaction I have with that mentality is out of nothing but inescapability and I can just walk away pitying the person rather than waste my time engaging. That mindset likely thinks " my great grand dad did not have indoor plumbing so I don't need it either. "

Kathleen Willey is championing to make women who were too young to remember slick Willy the serial rapist aware of how his spouse Hillary raped them psychologically afterwards. Hillary has the nerve to speak, scream, and screech about a war on women? Seriously, she is a general in the war on babies. But then there will be those that take Madeleine Albright's words to heart and fear there is a special place in heck (the real word got auto edited, not sure if it was deemed a curse word or if the existence of Lucifer's housing complex is being denied) for women who do not vote for Hillary. (repeat pulleeeez)

Yep, I am thankful even in the midst of no perfect choice.

 

[vickie gee]

So what did you take away from the last Republican debate and the last Democrat debate?

Rubio and Jeb are like wind up toys imho. Jeb comes with flaring nostrils. Rubio did not do his homework on who speaks what languages. Karate Fossil can be creepy and make sense both at the same time. Cruz is tops in a stare down. Donald remains without manners and does not know when to shut up while he is ahead.

I cannot bring myself to watch the other side's debates but heard someone today say that when socialist Bernie is not talking about raising taxes and giving your money away he actually has some good points compared to I'll Get You My Pretty (witch).

Come on guys, tell us how you really feel. You are entitled to your opinion and we are all adults here

 

[lucky seven]

I acutally contacted the HC web page and in the comment section asked who was running for president her or Obama. Also brought up the fact that she champions womens rights but I am old enough to remember scandals from their Arkansas days to the White House and said I didn't want them bringing more scandal to our White House because her husband has a wandering eye and hands. I brought up a few other points as to why she shouldn't be elected. To date have not heard from anyone at her end. Don't like Bernie but felt sorry for him when the jerks from the Black Lives Matter group interrupted his speech in Seattle and demanded that he give them the microphone. They interrupted HC as well but she just laughed at them. I would like to remind her that she didn't begin the Civil Rights movement like she is hinting to the young voting age blacks.. If my memory serves me, it was the Kennedy brothers, Martin Luther King and LBJ who championed their rights. HC wants everyone to think she is the best thing since sliced bread. As for the black lives matters group, I listened to one brat say that motto is theirs and no one else can use it. And the dem who dropped out had no right to say all lives matter. They got on his case about that and he got back on tv and apologized! I don't always like Trump but I really think he would put these idiots who think no one else has suffered like their generation in their place. I don't like Cruz started out liking Rubio but no more, we don't need another Bush and Casick wants everyone to like him. Carson is too nice and smart, haven't figured out why he wants that headache. So that leaves bully Trump, God help us.

How many of you have or will vote in your state's primary?

Ours are coming up on March 1. My husband, Harvey / H, has surgery that day but it's not until the afternoon so we will. At this point, he and I are both on the right (smile) side of the table, but each favor a different candidate (Cruz or Trump). The primaries give us a chance to help decide what our options will be in November. I think it's an important event to take part in.

I'm actually torn between who I think would do the best job and who I think will get more people motivated to vote who may otherwise just stay home. At least there are options that I feel good about on the right. I can't imagibe feeling good about the dismnal choices on the left -- it almost reads like bad fiction.
