    Rubio is a little delusional but not as much as the rest which makes it dangerous for the Democrats to run against. Rubio has the mainstream appeal, even though right now he's saying some pretty silly stuff but running against him worries me more than Cruz or Trump.

    I've had Democrat friends who have been worried about Rubio for several years now. A young Hispanic candidate is rough for old pasty white Democratic candidates to run against.

    If Sanders wants a shot at winning the nomination....he needs to win both Iowa and New Hampshire. He need to give the southern voters something to think about. If Hillary wins Iowa, i think its just a matter of time (even with Bernie winning New Hampshire).

    The problem with Rubio is the **** that comes out of his mouth. Wait till they start focusing on his Finances. He wants to be president because it will lead to more money for him....down the road....lol.

    Really? Knocking him because he's not as wealthy as Clinton? That really doesn't seem like a winning argument and if Bernie is the Democratic Candidate it's not an argument that can even be used.

    I don't think Cruz fans should be calling scoreboard after winning the one state that was built for Cruz and that gave us huckabee and Santorum the last two times

    They are probably just relieved, a loss would have been disastrous for them.

    UM...no. It has NOTHING to do with him not being rich. It has EVERYTHING to do with his shady finances. His loans. This guy can be bought. that will be the narrative.

    The anti-Cruz fans would have been calling scoreboard if he lost. That is for certain.

    One state does not win the nomination, but it is a great place to start. In fact, these early states do not determine the nominee, they just serve to winnow the field. And that is not going to help Donald Trump one bit. But it is going to help Cruz and Rubio.

    There's no way they can run that attack if he's running against Hillary after the allegations that she was selling favors while Secretary of State.

    Yes because losing a state he was supposed to win would be a really bad loss. Winning is just holding serve. South Carolina and Nevada are the real battles between those two
