30% of primary republican voters probably don't have kids.

Not that it's a bad thing...

Do you mean that because they don't have kids, they should be excused for not knowing it's a fictional place? I don't think that factors. I didn't know it was from Aladdin, but my initial response wasn't "yeah" or "no", it was "WTH is that?"

BTW, Aladdin came out when I was 11 and I've seen it like 20 times.

Calm down Sparky, it was a bit of tongue in cheek. Especially made so by my second comment about "that's not a bad thing." I.E. they don't have children, ergo, they haven't reproduced and that's a good thing.

Don't be so touchy.

It is being reported by several news sources that Rubio is running a lousy ground game which is going to make it near impossible to win.

Joe Scarborough reported he only had one field office in Iowa. He stated Rubio's plan for campaigning in the primaries is to run adds and drop in to a state from time to time which is a losing strategy.

It looks like Trump and Cruz are the only two candidates with a chance at winning Iowa at this point.

Scarborough is saying Christi has a tremendous ground game going on in New Hampshire and he thinks Christi may pull off an upset there.

A vote for Cruz in the primaries is a vote for Hillary in the general.

Republicans need to learn to nominate candidates that can actually win the general or be happy with the lib in the WH.

Cruz would do very well in the solid red states, of course anyone with a R beside their name would. He would do terrible in the purple states.

The same could be said that Cruz would turn out more conservatives who stayed home last cycle that did not care for Rommey. Trump has exposed a nerve that if captured by the right candidate could win the election. Rubio will catch hell on his immigrant bill on the trail..Cruz has the best chance of winning..

Amash can shut the hell up because his friend Rand Paul was in on the plan to keep Rubio from even voting on the Omnibus bill.

Yesterday Rubio threatened to shut the entire bill down. After that Senate Minority Mitch McConnell suddenly decides that he will fast track to vote on the bill. Originally the vote wouldn't take place for another 48 hours but McConnell with support of Paul fast tracked the spending bill to the floor of the Senate. Rubio had been asking the Senate to delay a vote on the bill until next week. Rubio got screwed.

I don't know why Rand's political savyiness is an excuse for Rubio. Sounds like Rubio doesn't know how to play the game.

The entire GOP base could show up , vote for Cruz and he could still lose. The base of neither party is close to 50%.

No one from either side is going to win without the independent/moderate voter. There is not one thing about Cruz that is moderate.


In U.S., New Record 43% Are Political Independents

Republican identification, at 26%, is a shade higher than the 25% in 2013. Not since 1983, the year before Ronald Reagan's landslide re-election victory, have fewer Americans identified as Republicans.

He's not campaigning as heavily in Iowa or New Hampshire as other candidates, and he's not showing up to work. Where the hell is Rubio?

Trump says he consistently beats Hillary in head to head polling. RCP says otherwise:

Fox News: Clinton 49 - Trump 38
ABC News/Washington Post: Clinton 50 - Trump 44
NBC/Wall Street Journal: Clinton 50 - Trump 40
USA Today/Suffolk: Clinton 48 - Trump 44
CNN/ORC: Clinton 49 - Trump 46
Quinnipiac: Clinton 47 - Trump 41

Rubio now consistently polls ahead of Clinton (by a few points), and Cruz is even or behind by a few points. So it seems like Trump's comments are helping him in the primary but hurting him in the eyes of everyone else (although only the first two on the list were done after his Muslim ban proposal).

Rubio has been the obvious ticket to the White House for the GOP for a while now. They are just too dumb to punch it.

Agreed, but he's going to be weighed down by his immigration stance in the primary. And not even showing up to vote for the budget bill won't endear him to the base either.

Of course, Cruz was being called out on the news all day yesterday for flip-flopping on amnesty and I haven't heard a peep.
