    I'd have to hold my nose and vote for Trump. I'd rather drown in a barrel of snot than have Hillary as President.

    I think Rubio is going to end up with the nomination. I think he should choose Nikki Haley to be his VP. Would be a great ticket!

    He'd never waste his vp spot someone from SC.

    If Kasich weren't such a lousy governor, you'd pick him in hopes that he'd carry Ohio.....if u can't win Ohio, you can't be POTUS.

    I'll vote. No matter who the candidates are. It's a privilege I'll always exercise. Many of you will also vote even though you don't cast a ballot. Non votes and throw away votes affect elections whether you like it or not.

    I sometimes wonder if Trump is not in the pay of the DNC. He may be planning to pull a Perot, who managed to get Bill Clinton elected with only 41% of the vote. :)

    I should think, that as it has always been in America, voting and who one votes for is purely up to the individual! It is not for you to know, TC .... but since this is speculative in nature, I would pick Trump!

    AS for write in candidates, anyone but you or Zaac! :D Laugh Roflmao Rolleyes Whistling

    I'm afraid Trump is another Obama in the sense that he is able to stir up the people with wonderful speeches but if he gets in he will find himself clueless and bewildered. I believe his support of 30% of the country is a poor reflection on the state of our nation, and Trump is not the answer. Hopefully people will start considering substance soon before it is too late and we find ourselves stuck in this for another four years.

    The GOP don't want Rubio .... but he is the lessor of evils, so, one way or the other, the elites are pushing for the man they chastised for being too young. According to Rubio, they asked him to wait until he was older.

    Sorry that you see him viable ... like Obeyme, he is not really qualified to be anything more then a "freshman" Senator that is tardy more then he is present. Gee, that is Obamaish too. Maybe your pick would be electable, after all voters don't want someone that can lead be example.

    If elected, Rubio will be jetting around the world with his family, visiting as many exotic places as he can cram into his first term, while he and Congress lead this country by proxy absenteeism. Also, the illegals will continue to fllood our country, dragging it down to third world status with unlicensed food stands on every corner, flower vendors at every stop light, and protesters demanding equal access to everything citizens have access to. And Rubio will not lift a finger to make this nation a better place for the people that are legally here, and sinking fast into third world status.

    No thanks to your choice brother. Moi thinks you need to think a little better about who you want running America. Just my opinion. Of course. But, we don't see this the same way. Shalom!

    I have thought that since he first began suggesting that he would run.

    How anyone can think him a Conservative is beyond my understanding. The same people who complain about the credentials and records of the other candidates ignore his.

    Never said he was my pick brother, I'm just calling it as I see it unfolding. Ultimately God chooses for His own purposes. God does not need someone with "experience". Remember King David?

    Your opinion is duly noted. And as much as you dislike Trump, I dislike Cruz, Rubio, and Bush. As for Carson, he should stick with brain surgery. And Kasich, should return to Fox News.

    Lord Jesus! We finally agree, other than I'm not a Trump supporter.

    Wait...you mean a life long Democrat who has given substantial monies to Democratic candidates suddenly finds his Republican soul amid a crush of terribly weak candidates and we should think he's on the Democratic dole?

    Lots of folks have been saying this, but the media hasn't let this one get out there.

    This whole thing is a set up.

    Not that I would vote for him but Trump has not been a life long Democrat.

    This election cycle has got to be the greatest scripted reality tv show of all time.

    Agree. Trump is the only candidate with higher negatives than Hillary. Again, it looks as though the GOP will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Once again the GOP electorate is letting the media pick their candidate.
