You say that as if there aren't two first-term senators and a businessman running for president on the Republican side right now.

Anyway, Castro makes them and Obama look eminently qualified.

Yeah, can't argue with that.

Trump has won LA and its winner take all their. Tonight is indicative that what once seemed unstoppable may not be. Thank God. Not sure it's any better to have Cruz

Cruz has done better in the majority of the Caucus states than Trump has.

It's time for Rubio and Kasich to throw in the towel.

It isn't time yet for Kasich. The primaries are now entering the states where Kasich has a good chance of winning. Michigan, the 15th primaries will decide his fate.

Rubio does need to go before he gets embarrassed in Florida. Per the polls he has no chance of winning Fl therefor he has no path to victory.

I love how you FoxNews regurgitators act like Obama had done nothing before becoming president when he graduated from Coumbia undergrad, Harvard law school where he was the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was a community organizer helping poor and less privileged people in inner city Chicago before law school, worked as a civil rights attorney and taught constitutional law at University of Chicago Law School between 1992 and 2004, served three (3) terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004, and was a United States Senator prior to being elected to the most powerful office in the free world. Other than that he did nothing.

She will not be indicted. That's just typical FoxNews BS. However, if she were, I would love your scenario above as I wanted Biden to run all along and a Biden-Warren ticket would be extremely formidable.

Actually, I got that from CNN.

Nice try LG.

Okay, so what exactly did he do while he was a State and Federal Senator...?

I'm sure he has some sort of record of major accomplishments.

What weird times we live in...

On one hand, you have a Democratic front runner that's just about to be indicted for serious violations of National Security along with telling bold faced lies to the American people and the world while allowing four Americans to be murdered by terrorists. And her challenger is an avowed socialist that wants to give everyone so much free stuff it'll make their heads spin.

On the other hand, the Republican front runner is a thin skinned businessman who's insulted his way to the top with promises he knows he can't keep, yet people keep voting for him. And as of now is being challenged by a charlatan claiming to be the "only" conservative running and would be more divisive than Obama ever thought of being. Actually, lump the top two into that category.

And the only two candidates that have ever worked across the aisle are polling near the bottom. And one of the two has the most successful record along with the maturation to do that job and is polling at the bottom.

Where the blue **** has common sense gone?

It is obvious that people on both sides (mostly seen on the right) are tired of the usual mainstream candidates and are hungry for change of any kind.

Very interested to see how this Dem debate tonight plays out. Bernie should hypothetically do better in blue collar rust belt states, but there's a lot of black people in Flint and Detroit so I'm curious to see what happens there.

Disagree with this. Cruz is no Reagen, but I think he would be better than Trump.

Cruz has shown in the Senate he is not willing to compromise at all and says he will not in his "stump speech".

He thinks whatever he thinks is correct and everyone else is wrong.

He would be able to accomplish very little. He is unwilling to work with his own party much less trying to work with the other side, a Cruz Administration would be disastrous.

There is a very good reason none of his colleagues support him.

A man who thinks he knows all the right answers and will not listen to oppossing views is an idiot.

The man in the WH now has that attitide, although he will at least work with his own party. Cruz will not. He has shown that over and over in in time in the Senate.

Cruz = disaster.

Which is why Cruz won't win either at a brokered convention. If this thing goes that way it will be one of Rubio or Kasich. I don't see how Romney or any other politician can position himself at the convention. For better or worse it has to be someone still left in the race.

I don't think Romney would go for that honestly. Other than the made up comments by Trump, Romney would probably prefer to be kingmaker rather than taking a third shot at the title which he very well could lose.

He didn't exactly crush the rumors on Meet the Press though he did say he saw one of the four remaining nominees winning.

I think it's hilarious that either Cruz or Trump will be the GOP candidate..these are the two that the establishment despise the most..this quote makes me like Cruz more

As Priebus spoke, Ted Cruz trashed the very notion of a brokered convention as "the pipe dream of the Washington establishment," speaking to reporters ahead of a rally in Orono, Maine. "It is their hope that they can come and snatch this nomination away from the people."

"All of their golden child candidates aren’t winning. And they don’t understand. They picked who they want the nominee to be, and there’s just one little detail — they can't actually get the votes from the people. In my view, a brokered convention ain’t gonna happen," Cruz said, remarking that a brokered convention "would cause a revolt."
