2016 Election

[Grand Vol]

I am just trying to understand his obsession with all things Trump.

It's the comb over.

It's the comb over.

He is working up the same unhealthy obsession that volprof had for Cheney.

I agree. And I've honestly never seen the country, much less political parties, this divided in my lifetime. And that division has caused serious anger on all fronts. And you are correct that is shows in the candidates being put forward and the dirty nonsense going on. I mean, who would have ever expected:

A businessman
An avowed socialist
Two first term Senators
And a media Mogul (considering)

All running for President?

It's crazy. Obviously what we have in place now is not working. Maybe the best thing for the country is having the whole thing come down, as Golf mentions. I'm looking for the silver lining in all this lunacy.

It has to come down eventually as the situation has become untenable. I tend to think Frederick Douglas hit the nail on the head.

Yea man like W did such a bang up job with his picks. Miers? Roberts? You want me to vote for the backup plan to Ws awkward brother? Not happening

Do you just choose to look over Samuel Alito?

Obama has exacerbated the problem of the divide in the country, like it or not. His way, or you're an idiot.

I thought he was dead.

lol

Actually, Rubio was already counted and I casually mentioned Hillary as the dirty tricks.

 

[Grand Vol]

I thought he was dead.

I didn't get that memo.

 

[carlos86]

Is somebody paying you to stay on here day and night to trash Trump, or are you that obsessed?

Na not really.

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

Hate to break it to you guys but this huge turnout leads me to believe Trump is getting 50%+

Tomorrows discussion is whose is his VP

 

[Vol knight]

After doing some research, I think I'm going to vote for Rubio. Even though I'm concerned about him in regards to immigration, I think he's the best guy for the job (hopefully, Kasich is his VP choice). Having said that, if Cruz or Trump wins the nomination, I'll still vote for them. Hillary needs to be defeated at all costs. I won't vote third party or stay home if either of those 2 win the nomination, as that would help Hillary.

Rudy Giuliani.....Team New York.

 

[Franklin Pierce]

Trump's first goal in the campaign is to take out Cruz, because he is the greatest threat. The Trump campaign team has never felt threatened by Rubio.

Trump is about to begin a 25 cities in 21 days campaign swing through the SEC and all the way to March 15th, when they will land the knock out blow to Rubio and eliminate him from the race. The winner take all primaries begin March 15th.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Why do you put yourself on the same level as them with your childish banter?

I bet you don't even know what banter means Dr. Division.

Liked... and hope more people will come to the same conclusion regarding Hillary.

 

[Franklin Pierce]

Sweeping win for Trump. Wins among all income levels, all education levels, and among all ideological and cultural levels.

Rubio will be saying again that he did better than expected, and that he is one step closer to the presidency.

 

[VolnJC]

Trump wins again..I admit I didn't think he would get this far..there was a poll early on that said that 30% of GOP voters would never vote for him..hope I'm wrong but I don't think he can beat Hillary, who will have single women excited to vote to elect the first woman president

I hope you're wrong too. Anyone who votes for Hillary votes for a continuation down the path to socialism/marxism. I don't want us to be like Europe.

What's scary is that some of the millennials and younger are openly embracing what they think socialism will give them..notably someone paying off their student debts and punishment for the 1 percenters

 

[Franklin Pierce]

I am waiting for those to respond who said Trump couldn't break 35%, or 40%, or 45%.

The Sander's voters may want all the free stuff, but the most important thing to keep in mind about the Sanders voters is that they are also Angry as hell also.

Believe it or not, but Trump will get some of the Sanders voters over Hillary.

 

[UTCVol]

Trump going through his list of groups and saying "I love the poorly educated!" was the highlight of the night.

On FB, I'll see the occasional "Europe has Free this and Free that. Like and share if you think the US should be like Europe". I shake my head when I see someone share that quote, as those things aren't exactly free. The people over there get taxed insanely high in exchange for those "free stuff".
