The right wing media has gone to Rubio, the Repulsicon Obozo. He's a big spending, warmonging, yesman for the far right establishment wing of the party who's immigration and welfare policies will be his downfall.

Bush is OUT!

Carson is a people pleasing, non-political, soft spoken, not a chance in hell against foreign political leaders, flash in the pan for the conservative "tired of politicians" side of the party.....whom Trump will eat for lunch.

Trump will get that vote... still on top for now

Rand is holding his own but of course the right wing media will keep up their "isolationist" attacks on him when nothing could be further from the truth.....but the media goes with the money, not the policy!
It will be interesting to see what happens here.

Graham was NEVER in it!

Cruz will be out if not already licking his wounds

Fiorina.... repulsicons won't elect a woman.... not yet, she has shown NOTHING

Huckabee..... too religious! He's the 2016 Santorum. He may rise but he'll fall

Kasich.... NOBODY likes him! He's rude and obnoxious

The Krispy Kreme boy will drop out even if he rises.... as he is put under a microscope and his sins come out. He's been too corrupt for too long, and gotten away with it as a governor. This is a bigger pond with clearer waters

What do you think?

Trump is the ONLY option

Carson I like, especially the way he handles the media, but IMO, he is TOO quite to trust.

Cruz ...not a chance in h@ll
He is not a (natural born) American. And may want to absorb Mexico.

Fiorina .. Will never live down her pro ' Islam' comment. And women will not for a woman just because she is a woman.

No one else is worth mentioning.

I'm still kinda disgusted with the whole media circus.

I really don't think it matters anymore.

Graham hell no. I think he is only holding out because he saw what happened to his buddy Senator McCain in 2008 being in the same position and coming from behind and winning.

Huckabee, Santorum and Kasich should just tap out now along with Paul, since he's polling under 2% even his state supporters are getting worried that he will lose his senate seat.

I love Dr. Carson he is just too soft spoken to be President.

Rubio, hell no.

I really want to see a Trump\Cruz ticket! I think last night and in the past few weeks we really saw Trump transform from celebrity Trump to Presidential Candidate Trump.

Trump and Cruz would kick some buts

I think so. They are the two best candidates. I love the way Senator Cruz flipped the scripts on the debate moderators during the debate before last.

Any of em are better than the choice across the aisle....

i like this trump statement:

Trump traveled to Hillary Clinton's home state of Illinois Monday night to deliver a message about what she faces, if he were to become president.

The billionaire candidate, fresh off his appearance on Saturday Night Live, told the largest crowd ever gathered at the Prairie Capital Convention Center in Springfield, "If we had honest government, Hillary wouldn’t be allowed to run." The over 7000 gathered showed their approval with loud cheering and applause.

"People are in jail right now for doing five percent of what she did and the Democrats are not gonna to prosecute her, and it's frankly a disgrace," Trump said. "And you know it and so do I and so do these people right here-they know it."

Trump offered the example of former CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus as someone who was indicted and convicted for what appears to be a far lesser breach of his duty to secure classified information than the former secretary of state committed. "What [Hillary Clinton] did is so much worse," Trump said

As reported by Western Journalism, Clinton placed classified material on an unsecured, private server, which could easily be hacked through the Internet. Additionally, she turned over her server to a Denver-based IT firm, whose employees did not have security clearances, and to her attorney, who also lacked a clearance. Poltico reported last week that the State Department has already found between 600-700 Clinton emails containing classified information.

"Hillary is running for a lot of reasons—one of 'em is because she wants to stay out of jail [emphasis added]," Trump stated.

The candidate pointed out that there is a six-year statute of limitations on Clinton's alleged crimes, meaning there would still be time to prosecute her if Trump became president. "If I win, we're going to look into that crime very, very seriously folks," he promised.

h/t: Breitbart

For this reason and a couple of others.
I am leaning towards a Trump/Carson ticket...
Where Trump is crass/ Carson has diplomacy when needed. I think the would balance each other out.

I like Trump best of the lot of them. No one on either side is positively exciting though.

Carson has unfortunately established firmly that he believes in a ton of propaganda and myth.. Can't have someone like that anywhere near the Presidency. It's one thing to pretend to believe wild things, such as Trump obviously does, in order to appeal to the crowds who vote for bombast over substance. But it's dangerous to let people who believe their own hype, to be in control.

I gave up on Cruz, when he demonstrated amply and with great vigor, that he doesn't know what the Constitution says about requirements for President, AND that he feels it's necessary to formally renounce a citizenship that he never had to begin with. No one who is THAT ignorant and sensitive is going to get my vote for anything.

Christie looked interesting a while back, but I noticed that his own party has been actively gunning against him for quite a while now. It was Republicans who worked to pin the scandal about rerouting traffic in his state as political maneuvering a while back, not Democrats or local enemies.

In general, all of the GOP's people are still playing the worst game which their party invented back in the 1970's. That is, setting themselves against half of all Americans, and declaring them to be enemies to be defeated or ignored, as opposed to people who need better leadership and real solutions from a conservative source.

Although I have strongly disliked Hillary Clinton from the time that she was put in charge of Health Care, back during her husbands' administration, I have found the behavior of the Republicans towards her to be reprehensible and counter to good governance in the extreme. Specifically because they have repeatedly attacked her, not over things which they do differently (Republicans have callously placed far more Americans in harms way than they are accusing Hillary of doing), but simply because she IS Hillary CLinton, and they want to prevent Americans from being ALLOWED to vote for her.

What they SHOULD be doing, in order to demonstrate the leadership that I expect from a true conservative, is to LEAD. Come up with conservative SOLUTIONS to the problems facing America. ALL of America. And not simply point at people and items that they feel derision for.

And please, PLEASE stop with the five year old trick, of whining that the other side is "just as bad or worse," when they are called to task for their failures. I don't accept "yeah but he did it too!" as an excuse from a five year old, and I'm CERTAINLY not going to put up with it from someone who claims to want to run my Country.
