Like I mentioned, the guy in charge of creating the questions, his daughter is Marko Rubio's press secretary.

I'm good with someone who has a proven track record in business to run the country. He certainly can't do any worse that who we put into office the last two times. |

I actually vote Libertarian most of the time, knowing full well that it is a protest vote, because the majority of the voters really don`t want the messiness of real freedom and small government. I also voted Perot, twice, before I really figured out what a libertarian actually is.
Having said all of that, I am voting for Trump this go round. He is not perfect, but he`s the best shot at actually stopping our slide into a cesspool. He is drawing from a disparate and diverse number of groups, as evidenced by his suport here. |

No. If he wins the nom, I'll give him another chance to earn my vote. If he doesn't I'll leave it blank; he's no better or worse than Billery or Burney, just a different flavor of cluster-****. Congress and the courts will have to keep the Whitehouse from screwing things up; the best we could hope for is continued grid-lock.

Let's address the mess we're in. The economy? The recession happened because of the 2006 Democrat Congress, and I could make the argument that they did it on purpose. The recovery? Would have happened in one year, verses seven without Obamacare and Dodd-Frank.
The Middle East? Was far more stable seven years ago, before Obama surrendered two wars that were already won. You can't blame where we are on Republicans. |

Yeah, I've heard that argument. We don't know what the ME would look like today with Saddam still in power, especially under Obama.

Keep in mind, they had no idea about Trump when this was done. This was meant to make it nearly impossible for Cruz or Paul to win the nomination. With them out, Jeb or Rubio (whichever won Florida) would mathematically win. But, here's the thing. They needed to keep certain states out of play of any momentum candidate. That's what the placeholders were for. They were presumed to draw enough votes from people who may have been thinking about voting for the momentum candidate. That's what Kasich, Pataki, Christie, Graham, Santorum, and marginally Huckabee were for. Especially Graham. Can you think of one possible reason he'd run for President with virtually no popular support outside of his state (and marginal there)? They were also meant to muddy the field, keep early pressure off Jeb and possibly Rubio, and just plain confuse the issue. This was designed by the GOPe, carefully constructed, with just enough Super PAC money allotted to each placeholder to make them seem plausible. Meanwhile, Jeb had over $100 million of Super PAC money. A staggering amount compared to the others. He'd be able to do huge media buys at the right time, and survive long enough. That was the plan. Trump screwed it all up. Totally, massively, and completely. At this point Jeb was supposed to be polling around 20-25%. But he could have been in the mid-teens and still been on track. Now, if he does poorly in the first 8 primaries, as it appears he will, his money supply is going to flat dry up. There's much much more to this construction they GOPe put into place for this election. Much more. This is the 100 mile overview. Let's put this another way. Without Trump in the mix, Cruz/Paul become Gingrich of 2012. Carson becomes Caine of 2008. And Jeb/Rubio become Romney of 2012. The rest were never going anywhere, although I was surprised at how terrible Walker did. |

Obama owns it, our presence there made sure the 1% of the population that are terrorists, didn't take over. When we surrendered and left, they were back in business, and then some.

That whole process was started under Bush. Granted, Obama could have stopped it, but lacked the desire.
