Did you turn against Kasich because he was an A-hole on a plane recently?

(Just teasin' you, man!  How's the leg?  I know that has to be taking a while.)

I like Haley too, but not for this office right now.  She's better than average, I'll give you that.  She was tough in the UN, better than expected.

Who would you support, if Trump decides not to run?   Cruz?     

(The leg's getting better, slowly but surely.   Thanks for asking.   I'm most grateful that, so far, it's been a mild winter here in Philly in terms of snow and ice.   I can't afford to take another fall.)

  • Cruz 2016- a Constitutional Conservative at last!
Polls for public consumption have long ago been weaponized and are now MUCH more about driving opinions than measuring them!

I have no idea whom I would support.  Cruz?  Maybe if he runs but he probably won't.  I really don't know because I want to see who wants the job first.  Secondly, who has the fire in the belly to take on the Corruptocrats?

I'm wishy-washy...lol

I'm glad to hear about the relatively decent weather you are having.  Yes, indeed your primary danger right now is to re-injure.

@Emjay

A "Democrat" wants to take all the citizens' guns and throw them in jail.  A "Centrist Democrat" just wants to take all the guns.  To me, there's not a heckuvalot of difference.

Amen, brother.  Those rare democrats who have a modicum of sense are afraid to express it because of the direction the party is going.

We can't trust any of them.

@Jazzhead  glad to hear it.  That's one reason I am grateful to be living in Maui.  We never have to worry about snow and ice.  I did manage to fall anyway last year, but it was harder.

I think Trump will run and we're sunk if he doesn't.  He has a large core base to build on and that, combined with the good job he's done as President, would probably lift him over any democrat.

As for a third party candidate, the democrats are terrified of that.  They are frantically trying to undermine that billionaire dude who's floating the idea.

@Emjay

The billionaire:  Howard Schultz, former CEO of Starbucks.  Yeah, I don't see many Republicans going for that guy either.

IMO,  Nikki Haley.   For the following reasons:

 -  She's isn't aligned with the Never-Trumpers;  she has served the President with distinction.  Her tenure as U.S. ambassador to the U.N. was inspiring and very much in line with Trump's concept of America first.   I can think of no one better qualified to keep the GOP coalition together. 

 -  She's a solid conservative on most issues,  but can, I think, appeal to independents as well. 

 -  As  female of Indian heritage,  she counterbalances the Dem obsession with identity politics.

-   She has a solid background of executive experience.   I generally favor governors over Senators;  the latter play games, the former make tough, real world decisions.

- She's good looking.



Mod Note:  Your original description needed work.  Sorry.

So's Sinema.  She claims to be bi, thus increasing her potential dating pool by about 100%,

I think @The Ghost was referring to the actual carpet and drapes.  :laugh:

Probably just a coincidence that this poll came out the same time Schultz did.

Nope, but the democrats are afraid he would take away voters from people who would ordinarily vote democrat but who are spooked by the radical wing of the party.

I remember when my niece came back from California, having discovered Starbucks and was trying to lobby for them to move here (to Texas).  I think they may have done so.
