Yeah...says the guy who doesn't even know health care is two words. :lol:

Let's see...I have worked in hospitals auditing insurance carriers from coast to coast. My wife has been in health care for 25+ years, and my dad was a health care administrator for decades.

jon, I have forgotten more about health care than you will ever pretend to know. :tothehand:

Trump pushes Rubio's and Cruz's shit in in Nevada. Wow. He gets double the vote of Rubio. I thought Nevada had some Mexicans?

Boy that Christie thrashing continues to haunt Rubio. What an exposure of an empty suit that was! :notworthy:

Go Team Brown! :rofl:
The GOP presidential front-runner, who coasted to an easy victory in the Silver State, won 44 percent of the Hispanic vote, according to MSNBC's entrance polls, topping Marco Rubio's 29 percent and Ted Cruz's 18 percent.
Both Rubio and Cruz are Cuban

So Trump is dominating in a New England primary, a Deep South primary, and a Desert Southwest primary.

The math is not looking good for Tattoo and Mr. Roarke.

Let's face it, Trump is going to be the GOP nominee. And thus, Clinton the President.

Clinton was always going to be the President. When you can commit a felony, admit it, and have no one in the Executive Branch or the mainstream media press for any action, well, you are the anointed one.

I think before Trump, many thought this was the year the GOP had a great chance at what is a fairly weak Democratic field (Rubio/Kasich poll well vs. Clinton). But the GOP is obviously a lot more fractured than led to believe and if they think someone that's only getting ~30-35% of the Republican votes can win a general election, they're not following the math.

Plus Clinton, despite her many flaws, has a fairly well-oiled political campaign. Additionally she has some of the best debating skills and one-on-one, she'll shred Trump (who is certainly benefiting from these candidate-heavy debates which only allow for short responses). When the full power and $$$ of the Democratic Party stands behind her in the general election, it's not going to be an easy train to stop.

ps. Also, whatever VP she chooses will be obviously pander to a large demographic of people (rumblings of Obama, although the Constitution seems to prohibit it, but there's ambiguity the SC could work with). I'm doubtful it's Obama though 'cause of the distraction it'd create.

I think he'd be a fine choice and young(er) blood that the Democratic Party desperately needs. It's time for Gen X and a little bit of Gen Y to begin positioning itself in political leadership roles.

And everything you said above just doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter how well oiled her machine is. It doesn't matter how much money she has in the bank (just ask Jeb Bush). She cannot control how many go out to the polls on election day. She has no charisma, she is fake, she is the most untrustworthy candidate to ever run for president. The only thing she inspires in most people is a gag reflex. With all the skeletons in her closet, Trump will slaughter her with one liners in the debates.

30-35% of the votes in a 6 or more way race is a lot of votes. For all of the "feeling the Bern" there was out there, the Donk primaries and caucuses only drew a fraction of the Donk voter base while the Conks are coming out in record numbers.

As every primary has shown so far, the electorate is sick and tired of the phony bologna plastic banana candidates. And it just doesn't get any more phony than The Hildabeast. :nod:
