Re: Super Saturday (3/5) Presidential Contests

I'd wait until the March 15 results to make that declaration, if I were you. Cruz is gaining strength, Trump is losing some support, and Rubio is floundering.

I'd hardly call Cruz "barely alive." Rubio is the guy who is hanging by a thread. Cruz's support seems to be expanding.

Re: Super Saturday (3/5) Presidential Contests

I like "Little Marco" as a nickname. It fits perfectly given his little number of delegates. Audio - brokered convention is where I was going with my earlier comment. If no one is close to 50.1 percent, Kasich has a chance. If I were to wager today on who gets picked as the nominee - I'd have to say...

Re: Super Saturday (3/5) Presidential Contests

I guess I'd be curious to know the opinion GOP voters in Maine have of their Governor. Did they vote for Cruz as a big "f-you!!!" to Governor LePage? The last data I could find were from fall 2015, at which time LePage's approval ratings were in the low 30's. LePage - after initially denouncing Trum...

Re: Trump supporters are #ReadyForHillary

The Donald better not overlook The Ted. He also better also brush up on his policy knowledge. Applause lines & taunting of opponents isn't going to be sufficient to seal the deal for Trump.

Re: Cruz takes Kansas

My gut feeling is tonight's results will be very good for Cruz, poorer than expected for Trump, and disastrous for Rubio. I think Cruz's performance in Kentucky tonight will be considerably better than recent polling. Wouldn't surprise me if Trump wins the Bluegrass State by five percent or less. I ...

Re: Cruz takes Kansas

Both Maine and Kansas are caucus states. Cruz's lead in Kansas isn't that surprising (I agree - he has it in the bag) but the early results in Maine (only 5% of caucus sites are in) are indeed quite surprising. I would also note that both Rubio and Kasich so far are performing horribly in both states.

Re: Lyin' Ted

I need to also mention that the politifact web site says Donald Trump is completely full of shit: http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/ John Kasich scores quite well (i.e. he usually tells the truth): http://www.politifact.com/personalities/john-kasich/ Rubio is in the middle: http:/...

Re: How Sanders' campaign will lose him the election

TC Talks sounds like someone who has consumed two gallons of Bernie-flavored Kool-Aid. Bernie needs to spend more time rubbing elbows with the folks at local diners, coffee shops, inner-city church congregations, etc. He also should be advertising heavily on urban radio in places such as Detroit, Fl...

Re: Mitt Romney: Plan B?

The only folks who will take Willie Mitt's comments to heart are the people who'd never vote for Trump in a million years (at least in the GOP primary) in the first place. All the speech accomplished was it gave more fodder for the pro-Trump and anti-Trump folks alike. It changed almost no one's mind.

Re: 'Pub Debate

I mostly agree with Trump's hard-line stance on dealing with terrorism. I believe he connected successfully with many viewers when he spoke about trade, illegal immigration (including addressing Rubio's allegations regarding his hiring practices for his S. Florida hotels), and yes, the military. I l...

Re: This Is Why I Cannot/Will Not Support Marco

Who do you think hired or promoted many of the losers who dropped the ball? If our Governor wasn't such an aloof empty suit, he would've known of the issues many months sooner. Sounds like Muchmore was basically running the government in 2014 and 2015. Snyder's too busy looking at spreadsheets and g...

Re: This Is Why I Cannot/Will Not Support Marco

After the support Marco gave Snyder last night, I truly loathe him now.
