i voted for trump...wife voted for rubio....son voted for trump. i was kind of torn between trump and rubio - i think rubio has a bright future in the gop either as v.p, president, or maybe just governor of florida. he's young and hispanic and has some appeal to moderates and conservatives, but i think trump gives the best opportunity to win in november. if i were a dem, i'd fell the bern. i think he's an ideologue who will actually work to try to make things better in america as he really believes in what he's selling, whereas hillary is at best, a criminal who has absolutely no business being on the ballot at all.my thoughts exactly. i think she should drop out. i just pray that Ă˜bama doesn't cover for his friend and tell the AG not to prosecute her.

btw, i also like kasich and i liked bush - bush was my top choice originally. they both carry themselves well and have had success governing large swing states. they don't act like the rest of the crazies in this election cycle. the problem is - solid and steady has got nothing on loud, obnoxious, and rude this year. the people want an outsider, be it trump, cruz, or sanders, and they are tired of business as usual in DC.

Having 17 in the field helped Trump. When you got that many, the loudest has the best chance. Squeaky wheel gets the grease, in this case loud mouth gets the press.

Yup. They are making a killing with Trump. Bernie has done what he is doing with little name recognition outside the NE or media coverage. Luckily for him he has a savvy group of social media workers that are making huge inroads on college campuses.

Agreed with Rubio. And he just looks so bad doing it. I kinda don't hate that guy, but seeing him act like a wanna be bully is not attractive. Cruz is naturally a Dik. He is more passive aggressive with it, not in your face like Trump. Either one of those two get the nomination, it might be troublesome for the GOP. However, as DEM, I"m worried about the sheer number of Repubs showing up to these primaries.

I've been keeping up regularly, and also voted yesterday. I have come to start to wonder if both parties don't have something up their sleeves. Let me explain:
GOP: Make it to the convention without Trump getting the delegates he needs to secure the nomination. If the party doesn't think one of Rubio, Kasich, or Cruz will appease the electorate for the general election, in comes Paul Ryan.
Dems: The people in power in the Dem. Party are going to keep Bern in the race as long as possible. This is their backup plan in case HRC gets indicted by the FBI. Get it to convention and boom, insert Joe Biden.

There's no doubt the GOP would love to have a brokered convention if Trump remains the front runner. And I'm sure there are establishment Dems. that do worry, some, about HRC being indicted.

This whole election is a farce!!! Both parties are desperate. If The Donald is the best the Republicans have to offer and he wins then we are all in trouble. My problem with Trump is he says "lets make America great again." I know we have our issues here and there, but we have come along way as a country and what time period is he referring to? "Civil Rights" America, "Jim Crow" America, "Reganomics & the Trickle Down" America, or "Reconstruction" America? Besides, this is the only place in the world where you file bankruptcy more than once and still be a multi-billionaire.

As far as Hillary being indicted. For what? You guys are listening to too much radio and not paying attention to REPUBLICAN published findings in their constant investigations into what they think Hillary has done. There is no there, there. Emails, eshmells. You guys are sounding like the far left knuckleheads that are calling for Bush to be tried as a war criminal. What would these emails have to say for her to be indicted? What do you guys, or what have you guys been told, are in these missing emails? I"m curious to find this out.

Hopefully the winner of this election can keep what little progress we made going. Right now I am cool with gas being less than $2 a gallon on my meager teacher/coach/parole officer/counselor/mentor/whatever else I need to be in regards to my student/athletes salary.

I don't want to speak for skinny, but as for Bernie being disgusting, I'm sure he was referring to his democratic socialism ideals. As for the emails, I'm not saying she should, or will, be indicted because I don't know what all is in the unreleased classified emails that were found on her server. But there is still a chance that she is, and I think the Dems have a back up plan, just in case.

I'd be good with it too if there weren't thousands being laid off in our state.

I don't like her politics. But I don't agree with this made up whisper campaign to try to derail her candidacy. They can fight her on policy all they want. Again, there is no there there.
