(42,770 posts)morning. Skipped a conservative rave last night to do a focus group on Fox, which I actually watched.
Seems he/Florida has paid Luntz $345k in consulting fees. And, Luntz supposedly was the one who created Rubio's main campaign themes/speeches. And there's Luntz orchestrating a "focus group" with Rubio and acting like a disinterested party. For the most part, it seemed legit - bunch of nutcases. But then, thought it was odd some of the questions from the group sounded rehearsed. Evidently they couldn't afford the best actors out there. Cruz was welcomed too. Guess they are pushing anyone but Trump.

From our standpoint, they are all horrible; however, if we had to be stuck with a Republican, I'll join Robert Reich in saying we're better off with Trump than Cruz.

(16,254 posts)Two crazies in the Oval Office would be a disaster.
I think that before that happens, an investigation into the legitimacy of Cruz being able to fill the POTUS' shoes would be expedited.

(43,219 posts)I'll add that both Slappy the Dummy and Rubio will ultimately surge within 3 points of Trump when everything's done.
Jeb and Carson bow out after South Carolina. Kasich stays in for a couple more rounds to see how far playing the "Least Insane" card will take him.

(32,097 posts)I live here. All I see are Trump and Cruz signs and bumper stickers, not that I have been seeing many, at least compared to other years. TBH, I'm not so sure that most people in this state are enthusiastic about any of the candidates.
Algernon Moncrieff
(5,794 posts)Jeb! will wait until Monday to hang it up. He'll spend Sunday discussing it with the family. I think Ben Carson also hangs it up.
Carson will endorse Cruz, I suspect. Jeb! will endorse Kasich.

Hell, they all suck. Compared to Romney and McCain? We got this in the bag.
