    Not at all. Obama had never accomplished anything except successfully conning the voters. I noticed but I think you did not.

    Not actually true - but I understand your point. Building hotels and casinos is a lot more relevant to being president than being a US Senator.

    It's the same reason Ben Carson is so highly qualified, for those who enjoy magical thinking.

    Planned parenthood should not be funded with taxpayer dollars. Whether they perform abortions or not.

    The following day, in a 7–2 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Florida decision, holding that the various methods and standards of the recount process violated the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution.

    (Gore tried to steal the election, SCOTUS got that. 7-2 means even the democratic appointees thought gore was trying to steal the election).

    Nice, Einstein.

    Still 7-2 Gore was trying to steal the election.

    7-2 means at least two of your kind voted he was trying to steal it.

    Pretty much ANY occupation is better preparation to be an EFFECTIVE President than being a politician of any kind is.

    Being a Senator or a Representative should permanently disqualify one from ever running for President.

    They are meant to be checks in the balance of power, not conspirators in the enslavement of the citizenry.

    With all of the millions of miscellaneous pieces of rock and debris orbiting around our sun, would it really upset some cosmic balance if a small asteroid were to strike Donald Trump at his next campaign event?

    Lol nah. I read an article the other day suggesting kasich could be his choice for vice president.

    And lets think about this. If trump is gone, would you enjoy Cruz more as president? Rubio? Hillary?

    They all suck.

    Literally anything is possible with Trump, but I don't see why he'd pick Kasich. Or Cruz or Rubio or Hillary, for that matter.

    I'm thinking maybe Mike Tyson.

    Nate Silver expects low voter turnout in Nevada republican caucus.

    https://www.nationaljournal.com/s/619673?unlock=CFWPGAMN5RVWOIM5&mref=homepage-free

    Democratic turnout is noticeably down from its high-water mark in 2008, with significantly more GOP voters turning out in Iowa and New Hampshire. Republicans held a 15,700-vote turnout advantage in Iowa and a 33,000-vote edge in New Hampshire. Meanwhile, Nevada turnout was down 30 percent from the Obama-Clinton clash of eight years ago.

    http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/23/politics/nevada-republican-caucus-results/

    It was unclear exactly what the GOP turnout would be in Nevada, but anecdotal reports from caucus sites around the state suggested that it was much higher than officials had expected -- due in part to the supporters turning out for Trump.

    That led to chaos, confusion and long lines at some caucus states early in the night. Some caucus sites ran out of ballots and several GOP operatives said that volunteers were not adequately trained on caucus rules, leading to reports of violations

    Kasich makes sense, he's pretty moderate. Under the radar guys would be Jon Huntsman or Scott Brown.

    Huntsman sounds like he's angling for it.
