I won't be surprise if he lines up behind Rubio within two weeks.

That's what I was thinking tbh

Rubio/Bush would be crazy...I really doubt he'll seek a VP spot.

Verbatim · February 20, 2016, 08:12:44 PM

Ooh, things are getting exciting now. Can you feel it?

maverick · February 20, 2016, 08:33:20 PM

If it means his support goes to Rubio or Kasich and puts someone one step closer to passing Trump, I'll take it.

What GOP primaries are left anyway?

Uh, every state besides South Carolina, Iowa, and New Hampshire?

Including Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, and some other regions.

Assassin 11D7 · February 20, 2016, 09:32:19 PM

What a mess

Turkey · February 20, 2016, 09:43:55 PM

Kasich/Bush 2016, baby.

Is it weird that the old white dudes are the most moderate Republicans in the running?

MyNameIsCharlie · February 20, 2016, 10:46:47 PM

Oh well. His brother made sure it'll be two generations before a bush will be in the White House

Jono · February 21, 2016, 12:53:27 AM

yeah, it would sure make a lot of sense if the front-running democratic candidate were to just drop out randomly, right in the midst of her dominating campaign where she has no real competition

let's waste our time and energy hoping for that

Domination?

As far as I know she has been barely keeping ahead against Bernie. Weren't the caucus' extremely close?

Seriously every time I look at the news it all looks like Hillary is doing everything possible to keep ahead. While Bernie is doing little but gaining so much.

Then again, I am not someone who keeps track of all of that to be completely honest. I could be wrong on all of this.

I hope a giant wrench gets thrown in Clinton's campaign. Maybe some real fallout from the email thing, or a past scandal blowing up again.

Clinton just won Nevada and it's more of a sigh of relief if anything. If she lost that, she'd be in trouble, but her safety is in the older people and blacks. Bernie has the college kids.

Apparently the Unions supporting Clinton gave their employees paid time off to leave work and go vote for Clinton.

I'm shocked that I've defended Unions (their original idea/outline, anyway) for years, but after seeing this kind of shit and actually having to deal with a real Union, the bad apples that just want your paycheck cash need to die off.

Yes and no - depends on the demographics.

Sanders biggest problem is his base of young voters that are so loud in online polls and forums and websites. They support Sanders by an overwhelming amount (80+ percent) - the problem is that they are not reliable voters for elections. And when his base does not come out and voter turnout is low, like how it was in Nevada, the whole message of Sanders starting a "political revolution" falls flat on it's ass.

Sanders other issue is with the minority voters - especially blacks, who supported Clinton in Nevada overwhelmingly. And as we go into more diverse states like South Carolina and Texas, Sanders is facing an uphill battle to try and get his message into key communities that, by the looks of it, do not want him.

Yeah, but it still looks like Hillary is doing everything possible.

While Sanders hasn't done as much.

Imagine if Sanders were to go all out.

He is - he outspent Hilary in January in advertisements and such.

It's not like Bernie is just sitting around.

Okay, so him spending more money on ads means he's going all out?
