    Like Baba Booey said, Rubio thank God every day for having Bush after 9/11, while Trump called Bush administration out for starting a illegal war based on lies of WMD, and he did it on republican debate stage as a republican presidential candidate. This guy has balls of steal.

    Hillary voted for war. Then she flip-flopped next several years based on changes of political climate. Another example she made decisions based on polls and for her personal gain.

    Trump is not a perfect candidate, but between him and Hillary, it is a no-brainer.

    Very true, which is why Hillary will probably win in one of the largest landslides in history. The r****d vote might be enough to win the Republican nomination, but it won't be enough to win a national election. Hell, there's tons of people on the right that will vote for Hillary if Trump wins the Republican nomination.

    I dont think so. I think Trump has a higher chance of losing against Sanders rather than Hillary. Many many people don't like Hillary because they dont trust her. And you have Hillary supporters that will vote for Sanders, whereas Sanders supporters won't vote for Hillary. So that's going to take away a lot of votes from Hillary in a general election.

    It's true that many people don't like Hillary, but if you put her against Trump, she kills him. If you ran Rubio against Hillary, he probably wins comfortably. If you run Cruz, he's got a puncher's chance. If you run Trump, Hillary wins without question.

    It's true that people don't trust Hillary and that she's a terrible candidate, but they don't trust or like Trump either. Running Trump is basically the same thing as running Charlie Sheen for President.

    Except they've found interviews he did around the time of the war where he actually supported the war.

    Trump is the ultimately flip flopper. He just has this amazing ability to say "that's not true, you're a cotton headed ninny muggin" and people just move on.

    He has massive flip flops on abortion and immigration. It wasn't even pre-Obama when he was on the complete opposite side on immigration, calling in to Fox News for his regular appearance (he had a paid reoccurring spot on the morning show) and arguing for amnesty, saying you can't deport people, etc.

    If you're being told by your president that Iraq has WMD at first you got believe him and support him but he then realized that there were no WMD and called him out on it.

    Let's be real though, if you're voting for Trump, you're really voting for Hillary. It's not a surprise.

    If you are voting for the one candidate that can't beat Hillary, you are effectively voting for Hillary....who Trump has heaped tons of praise on in the past.

    Rubio would beat Hillary.

    Cruz would have a puncher's chance at beating Hillary (though I doubt he would)

    Trump would have no chance whatsoever at beating Hillary.

    If you see those options and pick Trump, you don't actually want anyone but Hillary to win and the only argument otherwise is that you are too stupid to realize that Trump would have no chance to win. Which is it?

    Exactly... The whole premise of the war was WMD's as told to us by GWB and our government. So of course he supported it with the information they gave the public. Problem is the WMD nonsense was made up and used as a reason to start a Oil War. Any Logical person would "flip flop" on that.

    You are stating that Trump has no chance against Hillary like its a fact. Its not. Hillary has too much dirt on her to withstand Trump in a general election. Keep spreading your propaganda though buddy.

    It IS a fact.....even if some aren't smart enough to realize it. You'll have people lining up for miles just to vote against Trump.....hell you might even have a 3rd party conservative candidate run and take significant votes away from Trump. The only people that would vote for Trump are loyal Republican partisans who would vote for anyone with an R next to their name and those chromosomal disorders that actually support Trump.

    It is likely true. National election is different from the primary. I think Rubio has a better chance, but GOP people think differently.

    You sure are good at assuming other peoples actions. Just as many people... probably more will refuse to vote for Hillary. You sound like a pretentious ass though so I'm not going to waste my time with you.

    This world is so interesting, we can not even elect a good president in a so-called number 1 country in the world.

    The whole thing is just embarrassing. I'd like to believe that Americans aren't stupid enough to nominate Trump, but they are showing their true colors.
