I'm watching Mom and switching to the debate only during the commercials. From what I've seen in those short snippets - they're all crazy and we can't afford having any one of the idiots representing our country.

I actually agree with Donald. There IS a question about his qualifications that will cause voters to hesitate. As we all know, accusations don't have to be true to be a problem. If Cruz has to appeal to the SCOTUS for this problem, it's gonna cost him.

who cant vote. I really have to say the person by far who scares me the
most is Ted Cruz, and I mean scared for the sake of America, the sake of the
world, but hell I would even hate to have him as a neighbour, there is something
really really creepy about him.

He's extreme right fuck all nuts, but if he got the nom he would be a far more difficult opponent than Trump or Cruz due to his ability to sound halfway sane.

We all must keep in mind that we've had 8 years, there is a natural tendency to put the opposite party in just 'cause.

Ohio does better than the rest of the country even during recession. Ohio has a very very very diverse economy. Kasich didn't make that happen. But he has been a governor along for the easy ride.

Kasich on the other hand can at least tone it down and sound like a sane opponent. He scares me.

I'm torn. I would rather face Cruz in the GE but I love seeing him get beat up. Cruz could never win a GE in this country. Trump is a wild card. Too risky.
