I'll make the early prediction:

1. Cruz
2. Rubio
3. Trump

My people on the street say Trump doesn't have the organization to win this thing. His crowds are mostly white trash who want to see a real live TV Star. They have no desire to fight the cold weather and actually get involved in the democratic process.

    My prediction is that Trump wins rather easily and begins the process of steamrolling to the nomination

    If there is a shocker it will be Carson swept to the win by the evangelicals. Otherwise I agree with Tequila, Trump first, then Cruz which is a big loss for Cruz who was the evangelical darling. Trump cutting into that base with his New York values is the story of the campaign so far.

    What it tells me is that you're seeing a growing percentage of the population that is coming to the conclusion that "this country is fucked" and we need someone in charge that isn't afraid to flip everything upside down ...

    For too long we've allowed ideological based reasoning to drive decisions ... and what is happening is that nothing is getting done.

    People are finally wising up to the fact that the ideas mean jack shit if you can't execute them ... except for the Bernie contingent that are looking for their free handouts.

    Pretty much agree. Abortion is here to stay, gay marriage is legal, time to put all the social stuff aside and try to actually run this country somewhere other than into the ground.

    You're not going to get a President who will change that. Hell, Obama claimed he was against gay marriage both times he ran.

    It's the economy

    Obama couldn't afford to alienate the blacks and hispanics who hate the gays.

    At least the right wing is honest about who they hate.

    Without turning this into a massive abortion debate, the only thing that has ever bothered me about that topic is the people that use abortion as a means of birth control and to get away from the accountability of their actions.

    In general, I'd say the biggest thing that has fallen apart in this country is accountability.

    Disagree.

    Trump stands as much chance as Bernie does at getting anything done. That's because both of them are running for President, not Dictator, and the fucktards in Congress will derail either of them from getting anything significant done.

    And as long as the lazy electorate keeps electing their incumbent fucktard congressional representatives, we'll continue watching the US become mediocre in everything we do.

    There is no fixing this shit heap. Trump won't do it, Bernie won't do it. Only the electorate suddenly becoming aware, educated, and motivated will - and what do you think the chances of that are?

    People are wising up? Fuck if they are. If anything, they're becoming dumber and lazier than they were before. It's because smart people don't have kids, or only have a couple, and dumb people have 10 kids - and the gene pool gets shallower with every generation.

    After I have a couple more drinks, I'll make another post to expand on this. Right now, I'm busy getting buzzed up and listening to AC/DC in anticipation of their concert tomorrow night.
    Your right. Congress REALLY sucks. Irregardless of which mute point party is running it at the time

    Has anybody really noticed a difference?
