There are only ~30 good campaign days until the Iowa Caucus.

If he's not out by then, he's in it for the long haul.

How many fucking debates do you burgerclaps have to have before electing a candidate?

Democrats have six, I want to say.
Republicans have 12

Plus three debates in the general, and at least one for the VP candidates.

Less candidates/they're incumbent?

Because Hillary and Bernie are the only ones with any amount of steam. The GOP field is a bit more... balanced.

Far less chaotic, as their nominee is already all but guaranteed.

Not if the GOP knows what's good for them. They better push Rubio hard, or else they are all but guaranteed to lose the election again.

There's no time ahead of Iowa in February.

Which means that Trump's numbers need to drop during the primary election period. He might get Iowa, but hopefully just Iowa.

I hope not, although I don't really know who would be a good candidate.

Kasich and Rubio are the least insane.

but you know
if you want GOOD candidates, i really couldn't give you any

PSU · November 16, 2015, 10:15:43 AM

To be honest, I hope not. I'm hoping its gonna be Rubio.

Either way, I would never vote for Hillary or Bernie. So I'd vote for trump over both of them easy.

I like Rubio because of his foreign policy.

Thun · November 16, 2015, 11:39:11 AM

Even if he is nominated, he won't be elected.

Kasich/Bush/Rubio
Pro life, extremely religious, pro death penalty, pro guns, anti euthanasia, American Exceptionalism.

Pro life, pro guns, religious rights can trump anti-discrimination laws, pro death penalty, denies human involvement in climate change, anti clean energy, pro more military spending and secret interrogation techniques, American Exceptionalism, anti net neutrality.

If these are the better candidates than I'm pretty worried, tbh.

Why are you just listing positive things about them?

I know a lot of people dislike her. But a lot more think Trump is incompetent and rightly so.

Don't forget fracking. Kasich likes fracking.

I'm not saying Trump is a great candidate. But nothing about him is incompetent. Dude is exactly what America needs right now.

maverick · November 16, 2015, 11:49:20 AM

No one expects the Trump to get stumped all at once, but eventually Republicant voters will have to realize that Trump or Carson would be inept in the position and have to shift their support over to Rubio and Cruz.

Oh dear...

Spoiler

I'm surprised he's a candidate considering all the random shit he says.
