Cruz an excellent lawyer and a smart guy - I don't know where his current campaign mush is coming from - I can't listen to it.

Jeb is prob. the most qualified of the Rep. bunch to hold office in terms of managing government - but, meh.

Rubio is sharp on his talking points - he does his homework - he seems more the manager of a Hilton Garden Inn than President, though.

Hillary is just old news and no one believes her anymore.

Trump is a monkey wrench.

Sanders sounds like some of the nuttier posters here.

Blah.
Follow the bouncing ball and repeat after me, Cats - "Madame President Clinton".

I would vote for Franken in a heartbeat.

We need sort of a cold war liberal if you ask me...Hillary might be able to get some done, especially if Bubba can get some of those baggers in Congress to come over to the White House for some fine Pabst Blue Ribbon.

There's a guy I could really support.

Hillary the female Nixon - she may very well win, but I can't vote for her.

Feeling lousy for one day is no big deal...happens to me all the time when I drink too much Svedka Grape Vodka.

Back in 85 this professor at Ohio University said Nixon wasn't so bad...us youngsters were shocked a bit and laughed...but compared to these GOP clowns he wasn't bad, and some of his programs were progressive leaning. Yeah a lot of men were killed in Vietnam, but many were killed when the more liberal LBJ, father of medicare and Civil Rights legislation, was in office too.

Nixon hated what he saw as groups opposed to the establishment he and his silent majority (Republicans and many Democrats) represented. Many times when I hear Cruz talk he sounds like he hates America...I really get pissed off when he insults our democracy by calling the Federal Government the "Washington Cartel."

Sorry but I have not been to a party with liberal college professors since about 1985. I did just finish reading Don Quixote however.
All the evidence suggests that he is more electable than Hillary.

Basically what I see happening is a repeat of 2004, where the Democrats went with Kerry under the false belief that he was more electable than Howard Dean.

Whether it's Sanders or Clinton, both kick the shit out of T'Rump.
