Kasich or Cruz is likely to be Trump's running mate unless he thinks he can wrap up Florida with Rubio. Just from the debates we seen. I also think Trump might pick somebody not running for President right now...I really think Mitt Romney would make a fine VP to help temper the Donald and have a cool head in the room. Just my opinion...
Yeah but we've probably only had two moderates over the past 45 years, and those were the only two guys who got #### done. This country needs someone that appeals to both sides of the aisle, not the lunatic fringe encapsulated by Cruz and Sanders.
Forgive me, DD, but I am not sure I am familiar with your politics. I think you mean two moderate presidents in the last 45 years, right? Not two moderate GOP candidates for president?
Mitt won't play second fiddle. If he really wanted back in the game he would have jumped into this ####show. He'd be head and shoulders above this group.
Reagan was a liberal before he was a conservative. Agree in theory but also tired of the same old same old.
Reagan and Clinton, the rest got caught in a quagmire of partisan politics. LBJ was the last CINC that was able to bridge the two sides before them. Since we've had a bunch of guys who could not legislate properly because they simply lacked the political wherewithal to push through impactful legislation.
Under Reagan and Clinton the country prospered, that is the goal of POTUS. We as a people seem to require less these days which I don't understand.
Two stinky white rich guys running - everyone will love that ticket. Nothing like true class warfare
I think Trump would be very smart to give Kasich some strong consideration.
Current desire is to be the polar opposite of whoever is in power. Screw being a unifier, just oppose everything not aligned to your ideology.
I think Kasich would be very smart to refuse. Why should he dishonor himself, and his lifelong reputation?
One could hope Bernie beats her. Otherwise, Trump vs Hillary could elicit the largest 3rd party vote of our lifetime.
And in the end that's why I maintain Clinton wins. People are going to hope for a return to the mid 90s.
I'd vote for him. Or Perot. A dead person would be less repulsive than Trump or Hillary.
Well, first I think he is a good man who really wants to make things better. I think he is also kind of a policy wonk.
More like socialism vs fascism.
But not with Donald Trump.
the media and the GOP will play it capitalism vs. socialism...I'm guessing Bernie polls terribly vs. Trump.
Sanders supporters would not agree.
Bernie and Cruz have about the same chance to get their nominations.
Everyone could learn from this. There is a happy medium out there and it doesn't have to be all or not, feast and famine, you can design a system to allow business to flourish while still having safeguards in place to ensure that the folks who make these companies run are going to be well taken care of. We will not tolerate a CEO making $5M and a clerk suffers making $9.50 an hour in that same company. A few less dollars into the mighty 401k, so what? Start taking care of people or pretty soon they are going to come and take care of you, once and for all.
A lot of lefties on this board are still sleeping on this and think there is no way it will happen.
This crop of candidates is terrible. I wish Biden would have ran. Hell, i'd rather Romney and Gore would have been options as well.
While I find Trump generally abhorrent and a bad joke he was 100% spot on in his defense of New York there. So much of him is schtick. That most certainly was not.
If Christie got elected, they would need a wrecking ball to kick his rear out of office...
Haven't looked recently (been focusing more on IA and NH), but last I checked, Bernie was beating Trump, Cruz, and Rubio in head to head polls.
