    Did you see the things that Trump said about Kasich? Why would he run with someone who is a "complete and total dud" and a "total failure"?

    True but they both seem like guys that can get past that

    Who do you think he'd pick as VP if he got the nomination?

    People think Nikki Haley

    Trump needs to focus on SC. Cruz working the money on the coast already while Don is hanging out at the universities. Southern men there need to be smart, Cruz is not a rebel flag man no matter what he says. Trump while not the prototypical dragster, would certainly enjoy catching a race and respecting what you enjoy doing. Polls could be bs...get out there and vote.

    I have no idea. I doubt he does either. He makes it up as he goes along. He never intended to get this far.

    Christie and Kasich the latest leaders at Sportsbook.ag at +400; Haley was leading but now 3rd at +550

    "Noone could hear him, so he had to repeat himself..." Not even close! He was clearly rattled and panicked. And the most rehearsed thing he knew kept popping into his head, thus the same point came out 3 times in about a minute and a half. It was brutal and obviously cost him in NH and possibly further. But at least he owned it and vowed to do better.

    Just watch this video....no one is this ridiculous and robotic. Sure guys "repeat themselves" but it's usually said in different ways atleast with some kind of context. Rubio straight up says the same exact speech over and over with no direction or reason for it. He can blame himself and campaign manager for this embarrassment

    Rubio admitted he screwed up and blamed himself already. I give him credit for at least owning up. He needs a big debate on Saturday to get back in the game. He needs to find a way to expose Ted Cruz for the phony and slimeball that he is.

    I hope nobody thinks Rubio was going to even place in 2nd in N.H. before that blunder, the people who were going to vote for him arnt collectively switching their vote over that gaffe, remember in the eyes of supporters normally their guy can do no wrong and the brainfart on Saturday was a small thing if you were already casting your vote for him. That little sneaky look on his face fits him well he's taken on the garb of a true politician you cannot trust that guy, but you cant trust any of them.

    He was going to. Pretty obvious. He would have gotten 18-20%. NH is notoriously late deciding.

    I've said Trump is going to win for 8 months already, but the media is classic in its overdoing everything. Iowa wasn't a loss for him, NH wasn't as big of a win, because both of those were expected. Sanders was also expected to win handily in NH. Their margins were quite good, but "momentum" is typically overdone just to create a news cycle. The real issue looking ahead is that Kasich has NO ground game anywhere else and Trump has been in and polled well already in SC, so it's likely he'll get a 1st or 2nd in the first 3 primaries, which IS a big deal.

    Another classic example is how Christie outperformed his polling (6%) with 7.4%, but since he was out of the top 5 he'll be on to Attorney General status (I'd get the hell out of NJ).

    Jeb is hanging on and burning the $hit out of the stupid PAC money, just to try to be the last man standing if Trump somehow blows or gets blown up. Anything is possible, but pussies aren't gonna get it done in this year with this electorate sentiment

    something is definitely off with this short-circuiting Rubio fellow:



    i found this one more disturbing than the "lets dispell with this notion that Barrack Obama doesn't know what he's doing...." quip

    I dont know man considering the context and the fact he was talking about Obama, the "enemy", maybe if he was talking about a different topic concerning Republicans, but who knows, to go from 20% to 10% on that in a matter of 2 days I dont know.

    If Trump were not the favorite, the Dems wouldn't be such a favorite.

    It's tied to Rubio vs. Trump. If Trump becomes more of a favorite, Reps become more of a dog. As Rubio becomes a favorite, then it tightens. Vs. Hillary, Trump would be about +200; Rubio about +120.

    IF trump becomes the nominee, that will change. He will be the favorite against Hillary before you know it. Likely, after the first debate.

    When is Rubio going to stop declaring victories after losing every state he's competed in.
    He barely came in 2nd to Cruz though Rubio had the entire braintrust of South Carolina
    campaigning for him. Look who were on the
    stage at his so-called 'victory' speech an ethnic Indian Nimrata Nikki Haley, Senator Tim Scott,
    & Tre Gowdy all standing behind and cheering giddily for an ethnic Cuban; sure seems like a Republican
    version of Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition to me.

    When Cruz drops out Rubio might start taking over his votes. Then he will be nom. Rubio feels more and more like the winner to me.

    .
    Is that bad? You want the Republican Party to be/stay all white?

    He didn't declare victory. Obviously he's going to spin positive. That's what they all do. Cruz is supposed to be the evangelical guy. SC has the highest evangelical % anywhere, but came in 3rd. So where can he win now? Maybe his home state. Nowhere else. Rubio is going to be getting endorsements pouring in everywhere.

    Maybe he's watching the prediction markets. That would explain his confidence and happiness with the results.

    If Cruz were to somehow lose Texas on March 1 that could knock him out.
