    I loved his Rosey O'Donnell comment last night. If anything he will make it entertaining. I am not a doubter about his ability to get elected either. He is running a a lot like Gov Turnbuckle (aka James Janos) did in Minnesota. Nobody thought that a pro wrestler goofball can get elected but he did by a wide margin. I think that the career politicians are oblivious about the American public and how sick we are of the crap they dole out. I am not sure who said it but it was a comment about perceptions of politicians. Politicians are like pro wrestling, they talk big in interviews, fight it out in the ring for the cameras then all go out to eat together when it's over.

    Trump has doomed the Republicans. The RNC will never allow Trump to run on their ticket. It isn't happening. And then he will run as an Independent. And when that happens he will steal a lot of the R votes.

    In other words, Trump has guaranteed our next President as Hillary.

    Hilary will not even be in the race by 2016 Hooker.

    But I think you are correct we will have another Democrat President...

    Who is going to challenge Hillary on the Dem side? Sanders? Biden (LOL)?

    Do not dismiss Donald, I would like to see a poll with all the current choices who would be in the lead. I think Donald can appeal to more voters from both parties, he has cross over appeal no other candidate does.

    Trump is a buffoon that is nothing but a side show early on. he's not electable. old guard GOP wants Jeb. both Repubs and Dems have pissed me off and are virtually the same when it comes to actual governance. once beyond the rhetoric Bush and Obama's records haven't been, substantively, all that different. both cater to big biz and are bought and paid for puppets.

    Personally, I'm in the Gary Johnson camp as a libertarian but he doesn't have a shot in hell. and I live in IL which is one of the most solid Blue states there is. so I'll probably vote for Johnson just so we can get a viable 3rd party on the stage in coming years. would love to see Johnson on the debate stage with Hilary and Jeb. he'll destroy both of them.

    I voted for Gary Johnson last election and if the Republicans trot out Bush or Rubio or one of the robot Republicans, then I'll vote for Gary again.

    I'm pretty PO'ed at the GOP right now, if they nominate an establishment type again to lose like Romney and McCan't...I won't vote for Hillary but I won't vote at all. I won't contribute to the lunacy any further by indulging the establishment GOP's fantasy.

    Sanders is the Democratic version of Rand. They have good sound bites, but in the end they are too ideological to win.

    I agree.. but given the choice I'll choose him over Chillary the ice queen!

    Right now there is not anyone of the republicans that have a chance at winning in my opinion...

    I'm still not sure the Don is even serious about getting elected. I'm also not sure if he is actually a republican or democrat. He was a democrat and has history with the Clintons. It is very possible he is out to hurt the GOP to help Hillary. It is also possible he is trying to help the GOP candidates. He will say and do things others can't making himself appear far right, which gives the impression that other GOP candidates are more center than they really are.

    I would like to see and hear more from Ben Carson.

    Even though I don't like either candidate, a Rubio/Kasich ticket would probably win. That gives the Republicans Ohio and Florida.

    Off topic but need to ask.. Is there any unbiased websites that have all the candidates running and their voting history, etc in politics?

    I just don't see it. I hope your right though.. We need a change- not more SOS.. Even a bad change is movement and right now the train is dead in its tracks!!

    Yep-- a lot of people feel that way.. Only problem I see with that is he has no chance of winning.. not the popular vote or otherwise..

    I made the mistake of voting for Perot.. I never will throw away my vote again!

    There are many, many Americans that feel that way.
