The race for the White House in 2016 has been building up for months. And voting finally begins in earnest tonight when residents in Iowa gather to caucus for their favorite candidate.
Dozens of presidential hopefuls have muddied the picture of the Republican field all winter, dividing voters and crowding debate stages. But after the Monday caucus carves out the pretenders from the contenders, Tuesday will likely see the GOP presidential prospects painted in a clearer picture.
Here are the five Republican nominees that The Horn News predicts will be finished after voting tonight.
#1 – Mike Huckabee
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee hasn’t just been struggling in the polls — he might not have enough cash for bus fare out of Iowa! According to the Wall Street Journal, Huckabee’s campaign only has $100,000 on hand. That’s not exactly the war chest he needs to stage what was already appearing to be an impossible comeback.
#2 – Rick Santorum
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum’s campaign is largely in the same boat, with only about $400,000 in the bank. And after a bad Iowa loss, Santorum’s poll numbers and ability to raise funds aren’t likely to improve.
#3 – Carly Fiorina
Businesswoman Carly Fiorina has regularly impressed political analysts in debates. But her skill as a debater hasn’t translated to success in the field.
She’s polling at just 2% among Iowa voters according to polls, setting her up for a second-to-last finish in the Hawkeye State. And her New Hampshire polling numbers aren’t much better.
Though she has a sizable war chest in raised donations (some $4.4 million on hand), enthusiasm among conservative voters is sure to wane quickly.
Fiorina may be able to stick around for a while, but it’ll be nearly impossible for her campaign to recover from the incredibly bad showing experts predict for her in Iowa.
#4 – Ben Carson
Voters may be shocked to learn that retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson raised more money than any of his rival Republican candidates in the fourth quarter of 2015. But he’s also spending a lot of money and has very little to show for it.
Having blown all of the $22 million his campaign raised in the last three months of 2015 — and already dipping heavily into his reserves — Carson has seen little progress in the polls.
Carson is currently projected to finish fourth in Iowa. Considering his presidential campaign has put just about all of it’s combined effort into winning in Iowa, a fourth place finish Monday night would be disastrous for Carson’s White House prospects. And he’s polling even worse in New Hampshire.
#5 – Rand Paul
Before there was anti-establishment, there was the Paul family from Kentucky. But try as he might, Sen. Rand Paul has been unsuccessful in his attempts to tap into the anti-establishment wave that’s swept through the voting public and catapulted nontraditional candidates like billionaire Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to the forefront.
From his high-water mark of 8% in February of last year, Paul is now polling at a dismal 4% among Iowa voters. And his donations to end 2015 reflect this waning enthusiasm.
Paul raised just $2.1 million in the last three months of 2015, putting him ninth out of eleven top GOP candidates. With just $1.3 million left on hand, Paul’s hopes for a 2016 resurgence are as dead as can be.
Exactly the same ones I picked only I expected santorum and Huckabee to leave earlier.
P.S. Trump not showing up for debate in Iowa—-Reagan didn’t show and he got
the nomination. Also it was the Establishment Republicans that forced Reagan
to accept George H.W.Bush as his running mate.Which is another reason the
conservative coalition was broken up by One Worlders.
Right On!
I have a lot of respect for Mike Huckabee, and Ben Carson. But both are too nice to get mixed up in politics. You can go into politics as the best person in the world with stars in your eyes, and within 6 months you are ruthless, suspicious, devious, and as crooked as the next one. DC is one big catbox, no matter what corner you play in.
Just a cesspool of corruption only way to describe it!!
Ben Carson is the exact opposite of corruption. He should be our next President. A decent, honest, moral man would be a big change from what we have had recently. God bless and select Ben Carson. “The Donald” is too volitile. I’m not sure this good friend of Hillary’s isn’t a red herring who entered the race just to get her elected.
Joy, you are right. Ben Carson is exactly what this country needs right now!!!
I agree. Also Carly F is great. The others would be great to help Carson and Carly team.
I say a big “Amen” to that, Joy and Mary Jo!
Obviously, you know nothing about carson or you would not be supporting him. It’s a shame how many voters refuse to research the candidates and rely on media sound bites instead.
MARLENE YOU ARE SO RIGHT , CARLY FIRED A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE AT HP
CARSON CHASED HIS MOTHER WITH A HAMMER TO HIT HER IN HEAD , HE WROTE
THIS IN HIS BOOK , IF YOU REALLY KNEW TRUMP YOU CHANCE YOUR MIND
ABOUT HIM , HE IS REALY A VERY GUY , JUST LOOK AT HIS GREAT FAMILY !!!!
I love Ben Carson, I hope he hangs in for awhile longer
Agree 100%
Totally agree. Trump was once a Democrat (may still be)..if he wins I would think within 3-6 months he will quit…jmo
Joy, Ben Carson is my man. Both my husband and I agree he will make a great President.
Not a loud mouth like Trump. One doesn’t have to yell and scream to be heard. He is a man of great intelligence, more patience than any candidate. Out of the slums into the operating room. And now on to the White House and the Oval Office. WIN BEN WIN!!
Could not agree with you more. I would be proud to have Dr. Carson as our President of the United States. This total idiot we have now has actually ruined our great country.
Trump didn’t enter to get Hilary elected that’s just all BS. Trump loves to win not lose.
Exactly! The country needs the wisdom, conservative beliefs and faith Dr. Carson. Thinking and considering the ramifications of an answer before speaking don’t lend themselves to a successful debate. His speeches, interviews and his books give Americans a clearer picture of the type leader/ president he would be.
They are too stupid to start with!!
If they researched Carly F. At all, they wouldn’t be voting for her either! She takes good care of herself.
Carly f. She will not win just tell her to not waste time go spend more time with the husband. Her face is too tense ,angry and humble.
Trump,is the best candidate to make this country great again and he is the best negotiator in anything. I hope people can see that and vote for Trump.He is honest unlike Ted who is not honest and if he is not born in Us. Why he is not get that straighten out before continue to campaign in case he may not qualify
The list is correct We do need people that has experience in government . Especially for president
It very complex & very large with many problems !! He must hit the ground running !! Must know how our government works
Runs & how to work with the house & senate . The president can not do anything with out the legislation .
The legislation writes the bills the president sign it into law , then en forces the law
Jimmy Carter insulted his own party leaders by summons them to his office . After a while they would no go to the White House His 4 years in office were.a waste Very little legislation was passed because he was so dis liked
On the other hand LBJ ,Reagan ,Clinton passed a tremendous a mount of legislation because of how they treated
People Trump would be a disastrous . He has called everyone idiots , stupid A lot of the Republicians will caucus with the democrates to totally neuter Trump He would get nothing done They don’t like him period !! His ideas are not good
Ben Carson is a man who has proven that he gets things done. He also knows how to find solutions. As a physician when he finds a situation in which he is not expert he consults with others who do know the current way to best address the problem, thus not depending on memory of the past that may or may not apply to the matter at hand. For the president this sgroup with multiple areas of expertise is called his cabinet. The quality of their opinions is strongly influenced vy the quality of the people they pick. Too often they are picked because of a political payoff.
Ben Carson has the proven ability to evaluate pertinent information and come up with a good and workable answer to the challenge presented.
If we believe it is important to get a man like Ben Carson, a proven and capable administrator elected as our President then lets get out there and work for him. If we do we can be successful! I, for one will be there talking and telephoning. LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN!
So your another establishment person. You won’t believe this but Passing bills isn’t always for the best. What you said is just foolish.
Trump is a deal maker and the opposite of what you’ve said. Think before you type something.
Some people really don’t know enough about trump,he will get things far better than any of the candidates and he can get done very fast plus he got lots of smart people who,can help him.So what if he call people all kinds of names because a lot of people truly are not up to his expectations and naive and no energy. They can see through who is truly the right person to pick for our next president.
People should take more time to listen to all his rally and read his book. The country need Donal trump. He definitely will do a great job and turn the country around.
I agree!
To get all trump wants to get done you have to work with the senate & the house
This is not a dictator ship .
You can not lie your way to getting things done . You can not call people idiots & stupid
He has & is constantly cheating on his wife’s breaking marriage vows. He lies to his wife’s that he loves them
He admitted on 3 different interviews ( video) that he has slept with dozens of married women while he has been married
Over the the last 35 years & he is not going to lie to you ???? The guy is a pig Congress will not do anything with !!
Where did you see or hear these interviews, and who was conducting the interview?
I agree – both Mike Huckabee and Dr. Ben Carson are fine people – with worthy goals and aspirations for our country – but their message just didn’t resonate with the public. It will be interesting to see how Iowa plays out tonight – and who moves forward. I frankly will be shocked if Dr. Ben Carson DOES leave the race – and Carly states she is in it for the long haul – we will see.
Carson will stay. I believe it’s possible to remain a good person. I like to think there are still a few upright citizens who could bring us out of this mess Obama has made for us.
Politics will eat a good man up.
I agree. Both of those are nice guys, but nice guys usually loose to someone who is strong and attacks the enemy. Trump all the way.
I agree, Trump is the only one that stands a chance of saving this country from total destruction, and not even sure he can. The one big thing he has going for him is he don’t back down.
Huckabee was Governor of Arkansas so he knows the ropes. Carson is another case. Maybe Surgeon General?
I agree, but Huckabee talks my language. Got to think Carson is so underestimated. And Santorom is great,too. Not to forget Carly. I like her too. The bottom tier was much more informative. And likable.
Thank you for your kind words about the good Dr. I feel he’s an earnest man. I believe he could have helped if D. C. And the whole country weren’t so incorrigibly corrupt.
fair & Balance , really? After the caucus results, Megan Kelly and crew determined that Trump was the GOP loser . How so, when the consensus of opinion in the land of “fair & Balance” which I faithfully watch wanted him to fall on his face and he did not and he came 2nd and was gracious and deserves to have an opportunity to represent ALL Americans of good will and make America great again.
awaiting moderation? Sorry , what does that mean?
Sadly, I agree. I do think the Clintons swim at the bottom of the pile and seem to get by with it, and just continue on….
You are so right an the American people suffer for it. Mike H and Ben Carson are to good for politics no one backs good men
So Trump is way ahead of the game. This is written 2 days after the Iowa vote, after Trump started running for “Whiner in Chief”.
I have a lot of respect for Mike Huckabee, and Ben Carson. But both are too nice to get mixed up in politics. You can go into politics as the best person in the world with stars in your eyes, and within 6 months you are ruthless, suspicious, devious, and as crooked as the next one. DC is one big catbox, no matter what corner you play in.
I expected Jeb Bush to be eliminated too. A new book, titled,”Jeb and the Bush crime family.” This should end his career in politics.
Every thing about the Bushes is wrong !!! They are a very honorable family know them very well !!
Huckabee and Fiorina should remain in the contest – problem is, Huckabee is next to broke. Bush and Kasich should go. Paul needed and still need to give example of Constitutional lawlessness, instead of asking hypothetical questions. Answers – not more questions are what the public are looking for.
Yes indeed
I wonder why JEB BUSH and CHRISTY are not also on this list?. Especially RINO Bush.
Smoke-filled back rooms, Reince Priebus, RINOS, & brokered conventions. Bush is the establishment darling and Christy is the New Jersey slum slug being vetted for Attorney General.
Left – Right. Liberal – Conservative. Both sides of the Strait Way are drenched in slime, and Jesus did tell us that Earth is Satan’s domain and politics is his game. He also said it was only going to get worse.
Moral of the story? Stop worrying about tomorrow, for today has evils enough of its own. Look to your own standing with God, and when you stand right in His eyes, He will see you through it. Just remember, God never promises you a rose garden, much less one filled with thornless roses. If you come out of it with your soul intact, that is all God actually expects of you
Yes I think Ben Carson would be the best person as presidential nomination. People do not seem to talk to each other. People talk at each other. With the language that is used and raised voices makes the discussions an opportunity to attack one’s character instead of focusing on important issues.
AFTER MAMA BUSH DECLARING HER SON WOULD BE PRESIDENT, IT MIGHT BE EMBARRASSING 2 DROP OUT AT THIS STAGE. PERHAPS HE WILL DROP OUT AFTER LOSS IN FLORIDA. (HIS SO-CALLED HOME STATE) WHERE IT IS PREDICTED HE WOULD BE 3RD 2 TRUMP & RUBIO.
I really believe Huckabee would make the best president he’s honest and I believe he can be trusted also Ben Carson is another honest man why no one got behind them beats me. I have never heard anything negative about those two at all. I believe the rest will say anything to get elected. They’ve all been elected officials and they’ve let Obama get away with anything he wanted and now they want to be president!
I can’t believe how an electorate can be swept up by the notion “experience does not count in this election!” Who among the candidates has predicted the need for Iran’s sanctions, reformed Welfare; took on the Supreme Court – and won; debated and beat H. Clinton on the Senate floor…. The picking of inexperienced personality types (………..) can only take us further down the road to political and social uncertainty.
Terry, my family and friends support Ben Carson. We’re all white working folks who agree Dr. Carson can handle the responsibility of being President. If he can stand for hours doing brain surgery on a child he can certainly handle the “bad guys.”
Very weak !! Good man!,
I have backed Dr Ben from the start. He’s a great man, I think he’ll be around tomorrow. We could try “honest” for four years!
Why to make this all circus with election. Just who put more money is the winner and don’t pretend that it is democratic system any more. It is buying the position not electing any more.
Sad, but so true.
It never was the “democratic system.” READ THE FRIGGIN CONSTITUTION!
Do you know how to READ? Do you know that the first sense of the word READ means “TO EXAMINE AND GRASP THE MEANING OF (WRITTEN OR PRINTED CHARACTERS, WORDS, OR SENTENCES)?” Fool! You have to UNDERSTAND IT! Something you apparently DO NOT DO!
The words “democracy,” “democrat” and “democratic” are NOWHERE to be found in the Constitution of the United States. Educate yourself, Damnfool. The Founding Fathers spoke of democracy as the most evil form of government known to mankind, but FOOLS, such as you quite apparently appear to be, continue to suck “democracy” straight out of Satan’s rectum . . . like it was the nectar of the gods.
Sorry, Danuta, but the “gods” are all pagan and paganism is Satanism . . . or do you refute the truth of the One God Adonai’s Word out of the Holy Bible, too?
Always has been that way Best in the world
Jeff Bush should he is the number one for the establishment
I BELIEVE THE ESTABLISHMENT HAS PICKED UP THE RUBIO BANNER.
I certainly hope so.
Huckabee all the way, they’re buloney if they say Huckabee is out. Thats bull. He’s gonna surprise everyone again this year and win in Iowa, you wait and see. I’m behind him 100%.
I PRAYED THAT TRUMP WOULD RUN-ONLY MAN TO RIGHT AMERICA’S PROBLEMS–HE’S LEFT WITH
4 YRS J.CARTER, 8 YRS. BILL CLINTON, AND 8 YRS OBAMA. – 20 YEARS OF CAUSING THIS COUNTRY MISERY AND LOSES BEYOND BELIEF..- LOOK UP EACH ONE AND ALL OF THESE TO SEE WHAT THEY COST THIS COUNTRY- I AM A GOP FOR 60 YEARS -BUT VOTED JFK A DEM, -BECAUSE OF HIS IDEAS/FOR AMERICA
PROBABLY THE BEST THE DEMS HAVE HAD PERIOD… NOTE TO THE DEMS;-PLEASE PEOPLE— VOTE FOR SOMEONE THAT CAN REVIVE AND SAVE THIS WONDERFULL COUNTRY WE LIVE. IN.-IT’S GETTING TOO LATE FOR MORE OF THE SAME…OF THE 20 YEARS I MENTIONED ABOVE.–GOD HELP US …NO MORE…..
WM,D, COOPER, COLS,OHIO 43209 AGE 79
Don’t we just wish, they had all pooled their millions and campaigned against the Democrats instead of fighting their own party?
I’m a “Scotch-Irish/British/Native American-American”(WHIITE).
I Believe Carson is the only one Mature enough to be President plus he’s Smartest, Honest, and Educated 10+ yrs college who is (NOT a Crooked Lawyer) and has got the Best health care plan which is not written by greedy insurance companies like the Obama Snare. I’ve heard him outline his plans for presidency for 3 full Hours on private networks and PBS, and He’s not only good! He’s Amazing! nothing he said or stands for threw up any red flags ZERO and of course he is not a Moslin like Obama.
The First CAUCUSES are Liberal strongholds anyway. Why do they get to decide who wins the conservitive party anyway???
Why don’t we start the Republican Primary in Okla, Texas or any other state that is not controled by the Liberal Marijana Toating, Country Insulting, Gun stealing Demacraps?!?. How does self confession Socialist belong to a party the Networks Call “the Democratic” Party ?!?
(Fact) Less than 6% voters turnout to Iowa Caucas’s to select the Dem-Party Leader.
#1 They vote for who canNot win against Ms.H.Roddum-Clinton, and later, in the General elections, they switch back to their own party lines to vote for a Left-Wing-Activist-Socialist Dem .
#2 Then the rest VOTE 4 who the Left-Wing TV networks PROMOTE.
(If you don’t know, He’s the man who’s been on TV Payroll for about 10 years now) Donnald TRUMP-et, who switched parties 4 times in 11 years.
HE IS PERSONALY A LONG-TERM, $MULTI-BILLION$ Dollar, Deficit Spending-Phyical Liberal.
I DO NOT trust that Man, he gets all the Media Attention because they are writing His speaches for him.
Trump’s RANTings are always The ‘High Ratings/ TV Network’s Controversial Material too… helping out the Network RATING$.
Don’t Ya wonder why he sounds to good to be real. I believe the media will try to get him the Rep. Nomination then Burn Him when he runs against Hillary later and promote their liberal Party for the Big Election as usual. The Clintons will call out all their IOU’s from their White House Press Secretary: George Stephanopolis whom they helped Make Famous and is a News Anchor now on NBC or ABC.
thanks, yall have a nice day.
With GOD’s desire to show mercy to America, Ben Carson might be a miracle. If GOD is through with HIS mercy towards a godless nation then Ben loses.
Ben Carson has no business being in the White House.
This is coming from a person that thought the same, yes I really and honestly did. I was impressed with his backbone to stand up at the prayer breakfast and put Obamacare in its place. Then as I heard more of his talks, I was even more impressed.
Then, as he started to actually run, I started to see no small red flags. Then I started to listen more and investigate the man. I was sad to find, and I’m not sure what happened???? That he is not the man for the White House. Just way too many RED FLAGS.
Then he has started to associate and agree with Al Sharpton. That was one of the many final nails that ended him for me.
Did he ‘rise in power & popularity’ to quickly and he ‘lost his way’? Could be, would not be the first Christian to go down in flames by such.
What? He does not agree with Al Sharton, lol!
“Sharpton and I have the same goal: to build a brighter, stronger America that provides equal opportunities and access to the underserved and forgotten. However, we have a fundamental difference of opinion regarding the best way to achieve such an end.”
Ben is losing because he’s a black conservative and nobody likes that!
why the race card? People have already elected a Black twice… We are not racists…..
I think you will all be surprised to see how well Ben Carson does in Iowa. He is the one this country needs now. He will be the first black christian running for President. Obama is a half black, half white muslim.
that’s not why Carson is losing-at all. Many supported him at first- but he has not done well in the debates. You can’t keep saying that “we’ll just get the best people together and solve the problem” no matter what the question is. If you are running for President, you had better have some inkling of what you are going to do.
Ben was not given a chance to speak in those “debates”. The rest of the undisciplined bunch just rudely outshouted each other. We need a calm, self disciplined leader. NOT a hot headed screamer. There is nothing colder and calmer than a neurosurgeon. They know how to get to the essential core of the matter.
You obviously have not read any of Dr. Carson’s books. He accomplished great things in his illustrious career as the head of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins. He saw a problem (eg separating conjoined twins) made a plan and working with many others, solved the problem.
He is a very humble man. He is not like most politicians who want to take all the credit for everything they have accomplished.
He has not soared in the polls because he has not been given more than 6 minutes in each two hour debate. They do not call on him because he is not an instigator. He will not fight or be cruel to the other candidates. His demeanor does not cause the ratings of the network to spike.
So, decide if you want a president who can solve the problems we have in this country, or someone who is good about” talking” about what they are going to do.
The Liberal state of Iowa, need I say more? Hey that state and NH.is gonna chose:
#1 Who they think canNOT win against Ms.H.Roddum-Cinton, and
#2 Those who are not Liberals are gonna VOTE, who the Left Wing TV networks PROMOTE.
(If you don’t know , He’s the man who’s been on TV Payroll for about 10 years now) Donnald TRUM Pet
I DO NOT trust that Man, he gets all the Media Attention because they are writing His speaches for him. His Ranting is always ‘High Ratings-TV networks Material’ too… wonder why.
I Believe Carson is the only one Mature enough to be President plus he’s smartest,Honest, and has got the Best health care plan too. I’ve heard him outline his plans for 3 full Hours on private networks and PBS, and He’s not only good! He’s Amazing!
Give me a break. We have a black president now so why not him. He’s too nice and soft spoken. Too bad our political structure doesn’t have for nice people. A different world than I grew up in.
You will note that the media has excluded Ben from much of the time in the debates. which aren’t debates at all but a place for the candidates to fight with each other, and also the media does not give him any press. He is a good man who wants the best for our country.
Dr. Carson does not speak up in the debates because he does not know the issues same with Trump !!
It takes years of studying These issues Please think about this We are a large country with a lot of issues
The smartest man on the planet could not learn all of this in 6 months !! I am really puzzled by people not understanding that it takes many years to learn thier given profession
Took me 30 plus years !!! So you think some one can run our very large complex country of 320 million people
Can not be done. Look what we have now with a rookie in the White House & Carson would be worse the Obama
I totally disagree with you. I like the man and see him as compassionate and very intelligent. However,
I think Al Sharpton is so far left and since Carson is liking him that I simply cannot vote for him. I do admire and respect him. It has nothing to do with the color of his skin. I would have voted for him if Sharpton was not someone he respected. Am I am white
Actually, I haven’t heard anything about him “liking” Al Sharpton. I also know that Ben is not a leftist. From all I have read and know about him, he is far right and knows and respects the constitution and will do all in his power to defend it. He has definite plans to heal the nation. His agenda has been published and is available to download if you want. The media has downplayed him so much that it is almost impossible to hear anything about him.
SHARPTON IS NOTTTTTTT LEFT,RIGHT OR CENTER! JUST INFINITELY 4 SHARPTON! A CON ARTIST,OPPORTUNIST & CRIMINAL. HE HAS BEEN ALLOWED 2 WALK FREE WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN JAILED MANY YEARS AGO. LOOK UP THE TWANNA BRAWLEY CASE IN NYC.. IT SHOWS HOW LIED & DEFAMED POLICE OFFICERS 2 GAIN POWER & MONEY. AFTER HE WAS DISCOVERED HE BLACKMAILED NYC BY THREATENING 2 START RIOTS & DESTROY THE CITY. (IN VIOLATION OF ANTI-RIOT INCITEMENT LAWS) THE CITY HUSHED HIS CRIMINAL ACTS 2 SAVE ITSELF FROM DESTRUCTION.
HOWEVER THE TRUTH WAS RELEASED YEARS LATER.
Careful there Jeff. You’re showing your proclivity for jumping to the race card at every chance to explain why something happens that you don’t like. That’s what America is sick and tired of…being called a racist every time some black person gets disappointed. I’m a white southern Christian concervative and I was behind him for long after he began to show signs of weakness. This is national politics not school politics and he doesn’t get extra credit just for being black. He got my nod because he was standing up and espousing the same values that I hold dear without fear of opposition. Since then he has shown a decided lack of foreign policy knowledge, immature economic positions and a demonstrated timidity when faced with questions about what exactly he would do to combat the problems brought about by the previous administration. Now, you can scream “Racism” all you want but there’s not a racist bone in my body and I know that. You’ll never convince me of your position by pulling out the big mallet and trying to beat my voice down. You need to stand toe-to-toe with me in the public square and be willing to look at, and admit to, ALL the warts on BOTH sides and then sit down and discuss them like men not like little boys who want to grab their wee wee and run home screaming for Big Brother to come beat up the mean person.
That’s really ridiculous to even say. Surely you don’t think Obama was elected by an all black population? Blacks are under 13% of the population, including children and old folks. It took white people to vote him in as well. There is no racism.
Obama was elected by an enamored electorate fueled by the enamored media. An example: Chris Mathews, speaking of Obama, said he could “feel this tingle all down my leg”! No one would criticize him n any way because they would be accused of racism. He played the race card adroitly. Al Sharpton, a radical, blatant bigot, appointed race Czar? He got by with that too. Mulsims/Islam put ahead of Christians and other religions rather than alongside or treated the same. Got by with that too. With more time, he would have totally destroyed the fabric of our country. I’ll be so glad when he’s gone.
You are not right .If you would observe properly from beginning of this circus you would notice that more white were supporting Carson than Blacks.Most Blacks go after Clinton to support just her.
Many blacks favor democrats because that party (Hilary is pro at it) constantly tells them they’re the poor victims of life, whites, and “those republicans”. It’s only the democrats that care and will take care of them. Those mean republicans won’t do a thing. Forgotten were the opportunities to encourage them, treat them with respect, to include everyone in the population on the same basis of fairness. The dems would lose votes! One cannot take a population, categorize it by color, put everything into percentages by color, and expect conduct and achievement or anything else to fall within those confines. Everyone has to be treated as an individual, Some people are high achievers, some are not, some are rich and some poor. some people share the same values, others differ. What has it to do with color?
You are accurate too many blacks would rather have a liar and support a party who does not even have one non white and voted for Obama because he is black. Black hypocrites!
I wish Carson would come out on top tonight, as do many, but I too feel that many are taking his quiet, even tempered personality as a weakness. Our country, heck the whole world, is run by a bunch of nut jobs it seems. There are few exceptions, but not many. Too bad for what I feel is going to happen to Mr. Carson. Good man. His wife has her act together also, which I feel is a great asset to a president.
BULL $hit!!!!!!! When everything fails pull out the race card!!!!!
WHERE IS MY COMMENT?!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!!
Carson is a black conservative and blacks don’t like him because they are mostly 99 percent liberals brainwashed by the Democrats to think and act Democrat or else. Their ancestors were freed as slaves by new Republican president Abe Lincoln. So why are they not now Republicans because it’s all about free stuff and welfare benefits forever for them delivered by the Democrats like 1964 Lyndon B Johnson US President. The Democrat system ruined the ghetto Blacks family structure with no responsible fathers with families of single mothers with welfare children fathered by many irresponsible Black men. The traditional Christian family structure like I had in the 1950s-1960s is very correct for a proper society to progress and not regress like in the Black ghettos. I also had a very traditional public schools education for 12 years so I could succeed in life and not be illiterate. Black children in the ghettos don’t get 12 years basic education because many quit school without parents supervision. I also had Christian church and Sunday School education to guide me in my morals of life choices. When the traditional family structure is gone and broken than the people parish in a lifestyle of crimes, drugs, gangs,murders and violence.
So what you are saying is the same thing DR. Carson is saying is that he can intellectually figure all this out
And fix every thing ??? Even with no experience ??? Carson would not let a very smart candy stripper that has studied brain surgey for 6 months operate on him ????
I am smart enough to know with complex job you need experience with success at that job
Carson should not have run in the first place
The problem with this country is how lazy we are & will not read or research each person running
So get up go look in your bathroom mirror ( me to) & that is our problem period
And just what experience did Obama have??? Zip! He went to a church where they denigrated God and America, hung around with criminals who wanted to destroy America (one set bombs, another vilified it), and he was qualified? He had no experience for the job, and far worse, his goal was not even to do what was best for the country.. He was and is narcissistic and racist? And, look at what he did, not for our country, but to our country.
I have a lot of respect for Ben Carson, and what he has accomplished in his life, and at first thought I would vote for him in the primaries. But the Al Sharpton association was what did it for me, too. We’ve had 8 years of a black President who hates white people and has shown himself incapable of governing without racial bias, and ANY black candidate from now on will have to prove to me that he/she does not have that bias, or they will not get my vote. I did not vote for Obama, but I have seen the hatred and division he has sown between races, and want no more of it! So bottom line, I would not vote for a black racist, anymore than a white one.
Did i read racist? Look to yourself.
Then I guess any white person is a racist in your opinion. That would include me as I have doubts about Ben because of Obama. Any black person would have to prove they are not like Obama and associating with Al Sharpton is not the way!
Obama has no soul and no love for America. If you voted for him because he is black, then you are indeed a racist. Constitutionally , race has no place in an election; only character and ability, of which Obama has neither.
Yes, you should look at yourself first Bill. Even a lot of blacks are saying enough is enough. With Obama’s black racist attitude even the black people would not vote for him today if running. Obama has left a bad lasting taste for years to come for Black and White people in this country. Anyone still thinking Obama is the man needs their head examined.
Some of racial problems are because some blacks tell whites they are to be hated for being black. Some blacks don’t realize in a country as large as ours a lot of places still have no blacks around. The same may be true of blacks.
Joan you are not going to engrave in my mind that Obama hates white people! Black panthers and the KKK can clearly C that! His problem is that he’s confused as heck n don’t know what to do but run his first campaign on a Trojan horse and appeal to the people that got him in… The dumb FARTS!
AMEN As Dr. Carson predicted the media is in for a suprise come Tuesday. WinBenWin
I cannot imagine what a surprise will be on Tuesday, unless he is higher in the polls than we know. I was thinking that he would not be able to get to New Hampshire. Is there something you may know that we don’t. Anyway, I think he is remarkable in the field that he has come from, but as far as politics, debates and rally’s, he is too slow.
YES!
Praying for Dr Carson!
Since god csn be credited with having more sense than you do –
he’ll stay clear out of this godless process called electioneering
in America.
Your lack of theological astuteness is noted.
I would like to see Ben Carson picked up as a VP ticket.
I would like to see Ben as the Surgeon General!
Great idea!
Dr. Carson is not running because he needs a job. He is running to restore respect for the Constitution and to reel in the excesses in the D.C. culture. On occasion The Lord has blessed us with just the right person, just in time. Washington, Lincoln, FDR, Reagan and even Churchill come to mind. If people can still think, we can elect Dr. Carson to extend this list one more time. And if Dr. Carson is no picking his cabinet next January, Hillary will be picking hers.
I think this is a good idea. I believe he would be very good at this being Surgeon General.
Ben Carson wants to make immunizations mandatory . So in my book that’s a big NO 1
Get some one with experience in every position Dr Carson needs to go back home & forget Washington !!!
Get on the speaking circuit !!
I hope some day we get smart enough to pick & groom some one to govern our country Make it a law that some one must meet a certain criteria some with any profession
(1) must have a degree in law. With a degree in economics & business have a proven successful practice
(2) serve on your city council successful
( 3) Serve at state level in senate or house Successfully
(4). Serve at the federal level senate or the house Successfully
(5) Get elected Governor of your State serve successfully 2 terms
Note : must work your way thru college manual labor & served in the army
Then you can run for President Age must be at least 55 years
Jim man, you are on the right track. I, too, would like proof that candidates know American history, and have studied the Constitution before being elected. Experience in how US government works (or is supposed to work) should be on the resumes as well.
Exactly what I see. Precisely what I see… And I might add how I feel. GOD IS IN CONTROL ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE!!! OH JERUSALEM JERUSALEM……..OHH AMERICA AMERICA….BIBLICAL PROPHECY WILL BE FULFILLED… GOD HAVE MERCY ON HIS OWN!!
totally agree…just watched “The Gifted Hands” yesterday, what a remarkable man Ben Carson is and we can only imagine…. how greatly God could use him to address the spiritual and physical needs of this once great Godly nation
The GOD OF ALL PEOPLE, JESUS CHRIST WHO PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE SO THAT WE COULD ALL BE FREE told us what to do! If you will humble yourselves and return to JESUS, he said he would restore our land. And if we as a nation will continue to pray for and Bless Israel, JESUS said I will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you! America (USA) we are not a blue and red nation as the media portrays us. We are a Red White and Blue Nation that is made up of people that are Brown, Black, Yellow, Tan, White and Red- First Nation People! Each and everyone of us was made in the image and likeness of God and I mean EVERYONE! JESUS said Love conquers all! Let’s try loving each other and showing respect toward each other. Then we can begin to talk civilly to each person and find common ground like the Bible, the US Constitution and it’s By-Laws. One last thing, repent and stop the killing of innocent BABIES, they are NOT fetuses. Then and only then, God can Truly Have Mercy on Us and Restore this Great Nation!!!! God Bless All of You!!!! He Loves You!!!
Amen.
Ben Carson, Did not lose, Obama has made it virtually impossible for a person of color to be considered for the office, due to his irresponsible handling of the office. Obama came into this job as a racist , a job killer with an agenda to divide this nation, racially, and destroy it economically.
I do agree with your statement!
You got that right! Obama promise to change America. But he didn’t tell people is that he wanted to change it by tearing it down.
All you had to do is look into his lying eyes, we never voted for him, he had an up yours attitude, pity me, and all he wanted to do is take our 2nd Amendment away from us. That was a bad place for him to tread with us, If Hillary gets in there she is going to just follow Obama’s dream, TEAR US DOWN to our knees till they bleed.
I truly believe in my heart of hearts, obama has done more to destroy the very fabric of our nation than any other president in history. He has demolished race relations, applauds our enemies, calls our police officers stupid, embraced Islam as a religion of peace, paid our enemies, and has tried to destroy the 2nd amendment. I really don’t know how he sleeps at night. Amazing. Thanks to him, it is going to be awfully hard for a black person to be elected as a dog catcher!
I have tremendous respect and admiration for Dr. Carson; but this is not his time to be president. I hope his services can be tapped into in a Cruze administration. These are two of the highest character candidates running now, or ever, for the White House. This is at a time when character is in short supply. Rubio is another candidate I have a great deal of respect for. I just believe that Ted Cruz has the ideas, the backbone and the organization to stand up and win against anyone the democrat (sorry group) party or the entrenched RINO’s can run. Mr. Trump is a good businessman; but he doesn’t have the values I hold dear. Donald seems to be in it for Donald. Just look at his ideas on health care. They are not significantly different than Obama Care. He just wants to polish up the program of government care. Where is his passion for the unborn? I’m concerned that his regard for the Constitution isn’t there either as I would like to see; and our country needs to see. I see more executive orders in play. They may be an improvement on Obama’s ideas but the underlying structure won’t be so different. He has many people fooled. I hope my fellow citizens look deeper than the surface. I’m angry too; but principles must rule the day.
Ben Carson the (loser) rose in promenades in the Republican ranks, only because he opposed Obama the (Winner). Ted Cruz rose to promenades in the Republican ranks because he has given us time and time again his, bad impersonation of “Barney Phyfe”; the good news is he not going to be president of anything.
Don’t be so sure!
Do you mean prominence???
I do not trust Ted Cruz at all. He is another Hillary, anything to get in office and he will never take care of the country as he says. He tries to give off that he knows more than anyone and I’m talking about all of us people out here that will do the voting. He will not get my vote.
Carly F has good charatar
I have followed Trump for years !! He has bragged about how many married women he has nailed !!
That was when he was married to his 2nd wife !! We are not talking about 2 or 3 women We are are talking about dozens
He has broke his marriage vows many many. Times , with his third wife I don’t ???
This is what gets me very few stories have come out about this !! But it is coming out here of late !!
Three different Trump interview videos. Very poor character & morals We must have a man of character & morals with experience in government Good business men never make good presidents in our history Trump would be a disaster
He is hated in Washington & could not get any thing done !!!
Jack, you are very wise in your understanding of these candidates.
Wish all Americans would look, analyze and choose wisely as you seem to have done. Plus you lay out your reasons in a civilized, courteous manner. Those who resort to foul language are running their mouths without thinking; letting emotions guide them.
She has no interest in politics! American or World.
God has nothing to do with politics!!! Carson needs to go back to medicine and stay there!!
Everybody agree that Carson is very good person with morals and the like .But to be elected you have to be criminal in our system now.
I agree with you all the way . I know we are in the last days of this world . And I blieve God sent Ben Cardon to lead us into changing this nation into a Christian nation and a little more time for our loved ones and the world to change there hearts and give there life to God only
He can save us now . God please be with Ben Carson and show the world you still love us inspite of all our wrong decisions . Please big win for Ben Carson I still believe in miracles . God Bless the USA
I feel the same way!
Go TRUMP kick some asses clean up the shorten mess they all got us into! Clean out illegal’s in this country and freeloading riff raft
Amen!
vote TRUMP!! kick isis ass,GET JOBS. MAKE MILITARY GREAT, CAN’T LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK ANYMORE!!! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!! GO TRUMP!! NANCY ADAMO 22 ROME AVE NORTH PROVIDENCE RI 02904. HELP US MR. TRUMP AND CHANGE THE OBAMA LEGISLATION–PLEASE!!!
Couldn’t AGREE MORE with you!!!!
Why are you calling people names?? We are a republic !! She might not no that ?? But you are showing you are either drunk or high or very ignorant by talking to some one like that ! Educate us give us a complete description of our government then we will see how smart you are ???
Oh yes. I guess Trump has a magic wand or lamp or something similar because he is not going to do any of those things. All Trump wants is to WIN. After that, he will forget the citizens and run with the big dogs again. People are listening to him say things that are not even possible and cheering him on. That’s how Obama ended up in our White house and our country has almost fallen into the swamp.
So vote for Clinton.You would still get food stamps.
You got it, if these so called trespassers that have come to America to take jobs away from the citizens, then all they have to do is take the test, pledge honorable to the USA and pay taxes like all the rest of us. We are sick and tired of paying free loaders way. Like so many other Americans we have worked hard and paid our own way, so what makes them so damn special, ???
And we are force to pay to this political machine which is getting bigger and bigger every year.
Agree, agree, agree!!!
Trump will get many to vote for non republican if nominated. You see most of us don’t like to be disrespected. Trump is disrespectful not PC means not going with the politically right behavior, not an excuse for rude, and temper tantrums. You yell insults at other nations leaders, we could get a nuclear bomb dropped on us. I don’t care if I die. I just do not think I should kill Americans and the rest of the world.
Message to hardliners in the Republican Party. Hard right candidates to not win. It takes a moderate to win the White House because the hard righters are still a minority in the Republican Party. The job of candidates is to first win and then to govern not the other way around. You cannot govern first and then win.
I say this with the utmost of respect. Following your logic, John McCain and Mitt Romney, respectively, should have won the last two elections. Why didn’t they? The conservatives and evangelicals stayed home and didn’t vote. I’m not sure what the answer is, but moderate hasn’t cut it in the past. Let’s hope we figure out the right formula this time.
It is time for the “moderates” to rally behind a conservative nominee. When they don’t win with their middle of the road, go along to get along establishment moderate, will they stay home because they got a nominee who actually follows and believes in the Republican platform principles?
Trump has woke up the people so they won’t be staying home this time.
I hope people are not brainwashed enough to vote for him. Trump is arrogant (he wont listen to others nor forgive others nor admit he ever made a mistake), liar (says something one time and the opposite thing later), has too many faces (will say what it takes to get attention, and behave differently), slanderous (says things are in the constitution that are not, if he lacks knowledge he makes it out to be the other person is bad), woman hater (look how he treated Carly F and Magyn Kelly), hypocrite (He also has a past and he claimed to change, he says it is ok to use H Clinton’s past against her, but when confronted about his he retaliates and claims it is unfair – both are fair game – when Magyn Kelly confronted him accused her of being unfair), Anti Semitic (said Hitler was right – Hitler’s claim to fame is using Jews as scape goats and killing Jews), racial bigot (black people were not allowed to get housing in some apartments owned by Trump Enterprizes while he was at helm of the company as whites could get offered to rent 2 apartments in the same buildings, he buys people for his purposes that is slavery – blacks are still upset over slave ownership, Hispanics coming over the border being accused of being drug dealers, most are poor people looking for jobs to get money feed children), hates Muslims (when a Muslim lady – wearing a hajob – was sitting quietly to hear what he had to say he sent her out as a person who was a trouble maker. Truth most American Muzlims are good citizens. Muslims have extreme radical terrorist but most in that group others are content to be more normal people), and an economic bigot (owning slaves, and not recognizing a poor person trying to get out of severe poverty and accusing them of criminal harm and drug dealing). With all these people being discriminated groups why should anyone vote for Trump? We need to dump Trump. PC is politically right, not disrespectful. Cruz, Carson, Carly F, and Rubio are not PC and are respectful. Trump is a child who throws temper tantrums when he does not get his way. His not being at the debate is not the issue it is the way he insulted Magyn Kelly and Fox News while doing it.
In response to Lois Wenk: Trump is arrogant and so are the others. You wouldn’t run if you weren’t arrogant. He is just much more flamboyant. That’s his personality. He rarely interrupted. Didn’t you notice the others interrupting, talking over the other as well as ignoring the
moderator? The only one not to do so was Dr. Carson. Which candidate hasn’t changed their position on some matters? Kinda depends on who they’re speaking to. It’s called trying to get the votes.
Megyn Kelly, and Fox in general, treated Trump like a buffoon and literally made fun of his candidacy until he started shaking the polls up, Kelly’s tone while talking about Trump indicated dislike of the man, and her tone of voice at the debate when asking Trump about women, was downright hostile. Plus she broke in and was argumentative with him and others as well. She even shook her head “no” while others were responding to questions. I found it inappropriate and unprofessional.
Trump admitted his past. Hillary blamed Billy’s zipper problem on the “vast right wing conspiracy”, vilified his victims. She also pays her female employees less than their male counterparts. And she says she’s an advocate for women?! Explain that to me.
Most immigrants are good people, but in a world with terrorists everywhere vowing to kill us, and known drugs and crime coming across the border, the fact that most are good people is not enough. A legal immigration policy must be fair and enforced.
Being PC or politically correct isn’t right. It really means that you can’t speak the truth if it might offend someone which means you really can’t disagree because they might be offended by that. You can’t solve problems without truth and compromise.
We still feel it was done by Mickey and Minnie that got Obama in, plus all those poor dead people that their names were on the vote ticket. Romney and McCain should of ask for a recount !!!!
Message to Jerry,
1976 – Gerald Ford – moderate – LOST
1980 – Ronald Reagan – “hard right” (according to the moderates) – WON biggest landslide to date
1984 – Ronald Reagan – “hard right” – WON even bigger landslide (49 states)
1988 – GHW Bush – right/moderate – WON as “Reagan’s 3rd Term”
1992 – GHW Bush – moderate (clearly by then his truer colors showed) – LOST
1996 – Bob Dole – moderate – LOST
2000 – GW Bush – Texas moderate (=right leaning) – WON in a squeaker of an electoral (LOST popular)
2004 – GW Bush – moderate – WON (a ham sandwich could have beaten John Dufus Kerry)
2008 – John McCain – moderate – LOST
2012 – Mitt Romney – moderate – LOST
2016 – “Experts” who told us no one else but a moderate can win, and the age of Reagan is over, have constantly ignored their own blunders, are constantly baffled by results (rendering them NOT the “experts” they claim to be), and despise true conservatives today as much as they tried to knee-cap Reagan in his day. In fact a lot of these experts were Ford guys—or Mondale, etc.!—and more recently for the Bushes (who were for Ford) or McCain, etc. BUT, they keep getting paid by rich dummies who think their “expert” opinions and guidance is still “expert”.
By the way—I like every one of these men as persons, as heroes in many respects—but your analysis is exactly backwards, for the most part, ever since Nixon resigned. By the way—the Dems are running candidates further and further into hard-left Marxist dictator territory, i.e. Carter, Clinton, Obama, and now Hillary/Bernie/Biden/Warren/???. In fact, Nixon had a much easier time winning because Johnson was screwing up Nam, and Humphrey and McGovern were so lefty fluffy pink; then Mondale and Dukakis were just unpalatably fluffy pink, and Gore was just a scary goofy idiot, and Kerry was just a haughty goofy idiot liar. But the RNC thinks that as the Dems go all-out Marxist, the counter-proposal GOP candidate should be a left-shift Republican moderate. But there is no real contrast there. Our “hard right” candidates are really just Constitutional conservatives who look like their far to the right, mainly because the center has shifted so far to the left. They have stood their ground while establishment Republican moderates have shoved their toes under the conservative feet and gotten their toes smashed, and are furious about it like little brats. My senior Senator is Addison Mitchell “Mitch” McConnell, who is the Soggy Old Diaper of the Senate who needs to be changed. He is almost a bigger liar than Harry Reid, but not quite. We have known who he really is for decades—he was a Ford supporter against Reagan and is now an Obama collaborator, in violation of his oath, his promises, and against the interests of every taxpayer in America.
You got that right go TRUMP go
Your critique is interesting, and in the most part,spot-on.
i speak as a dyed-in-the-wool independent, and if you
must label me then think – – “moderate”.
I see some good in Hillary, in that I think she is a very
sick person, and older than dirt (to look at, at least) –
and she can’t disappear to quickly to suit me.
Trump ?
Originally,I saw him as capable of blowing up the GOP
Pub-Party – but I favored him only if he would decide
to blow up the Demo Dummies with the same stroke
of his brush.
We need this solid 2-party political system like we need
sore butts.
The 2-party system is why our costs of government i
so @#$#$L&(** high – and why it takes 4 years at a
time for congress and the slack ass in the White House
to get so little – accomplished.
That’s it for now – nobody with any sense gets involved
in discussions such as this – anyway.
But we all know that, right ?
Well Sparky, I know what you mean about the last comment you made. I’m on lunch break and trying to stay awake, so I’m just goofing around on these news articles.
I can see your points about the two-party system and Trump and being an independent. I would call myself a libertarian-leaning conservative who has voted GOP since Reagan because I think that for the most part their party platform has more in common with my understanding of the Constitution and what American government should be about than any other group. However, there is a seriously entrenched political “ruling class” that tends to make up leadership in the GOP, and certainly in the DIP (Democrap Ideologue Party). They are almost all “moderate” to ultra liberal in their views, mostly because they approve of a huge federal government.
Let’s boil it down. The main problem with the Federal and state and local governments—especially Federal—is that:
1) 90% of the stuff it is involved in is outside the parameters of its stated Constitutional duties;
2) 100% of what it does WITHIN that 90% is both bloated AND inefficient (ranging from basically inefficient to totally inefficient), and very often redundant, which, after decades of continuous negative results, is proof govt. shouldn’t be doing it;
3) In pouring taxpayer dollars into that crummy 90%, they are robbing from funding and efficiency to the 10% that they are Constitutionally bound to operate, and to operate well;
4) The law of diminishing returns has never had a better example of waste in the history of the world as it has in a people foolish enough to funnel so many dollars for items that “must be done at the local level” through a central government money-skimming machine—-and foolishly expect to get efficient and worthwhile results
So the question then is why would politicians and bureaucrats want to control so much?
Answer: Are you kidding? Power-hungry and greedy people wanting power and money? Wow, I’d never have thought.
These are people of low character, who want to live the American dream—same as most people….HOWEVER, they want to achieve this by getting into a position where the rest of us suckers work our butts off to pay for their fancy lifestyle. I am all for ANYBODY being financially successful, and am happy for them. But not when it comes by way of armed robbery—in this case, armed with the power of the state—the power to compel people to pay what they tell you to, or else face having your life turned inside out and upside down—even up to and including prison time. This is an outrage. This is why someone must be elected who has a genuine and somewhat selfless commitment to reducing the size of government and restoring its primary duties to the fore, and then eventually those duties being ONLY what it exists for.
Matt Underwood I like your style!
Ditto to everything you wrote
The religious right (Santorum, Huckabee) have only one platform, eliminate all reproductive choice, While this is important to some, most of us (I am 69 yr old Republican) think there are other issues besides what happens in your bedroom, hospital room, or doctor’s office. How about our wide open borders, terrorism, taxes weak military? I wish these candidates were as adamant in supporting the 2nd amendment as they are in eliminating reproductive choice for women.
If you think that conservative Christians have only one platform, you have not spent even five minutes looking at their platforms. Their web sites are literally a click away, and you can’t even be bothered to look at them? You peddle obvious lies and expect people to believe them? Wow.
Just admit it. You love to see little children dismembered and burned alive in salt. That’s what you care about. Your own sacred cow can’t stand up to five minute worth of analysis. You’re ignorant of basic science, such as fetal pain research, movies like “The Silent Scream”, and the impossibility of “a mother’s body” having two heartbeats or two separate unique strands of DNA.
Amen… great analysis and well put.
That’s right, you must lie like the POTUS did to get in and then wreck havoc on the US.
@ Jerry Doyle:
Oh, you mean a “moderate” like John McCain, or Mitt Romney? Please. The Republican that won by the biggest margin in the past 40 years was Ronald Reagan. When the Republicans try to look “moderate”, they simply blend into the landscape of liberal Democrats and people see NO DIFFERENCE.
The Commucrats are still riding on the past when people’s fathers voted Democrat because they were the party of working men. If that was EVER true, it certainly is NOT true now, and until Democrat voters wake up and realize this is NOT their daddy’s Democratic party, the country will continue to go downhill. We are being deliberately DESTROYED by the Commucrats and their Muslim TRAITOR leader, and this MUST STOP if we are to survive as a free Republic. When you’ve got hordes of idiots out there ready to vote for Hillary or Bernie, a “moderate” is not going to cut it.
Everybody should know the politicians will promise you the world, if Trump could come across with only one 16th of the promises that he’s making, it will be better than with this knucklehead did in 8 years. Go Donny boy we got you covered.
You bet, just read his books and you will see he is a wheeler and dealer, now if he will project his smarts and the people of the USA will stand by him, maybe just maybe we will have a chance to go forward and get out of this BLACK HOLE we are in.
Jerry is correct in saying that no “Hard Right” candidate will win in November. Why? It always comes down to the numbers, and that’s especially true during this election cycle. Registered Democrats simply outnumber registered Republicans, so if both parties can turn out their voters, Republicans will surely lose. In order to win, our nominee must accomplish these (4) tasks:
#1 –
After all of those attack ads against fellow Republicans finally go dark, our nominee must find ways to bring all factions back together again. Case in point; nearly 20 million Republicans stayed home in November 2012 because they “didn’t like Romney, while Obama won by only 3 million votes. If that happens again, we lose.
#2
Our nominee must win over a large majority of Independents, most of whom are Moderates. If this doesn’t happen, we lose.
#3
Our nominee must be able to win over at least of few moderate Democrats, many of whom can no longer stomach Hillary but also have no desire to follow Sanders down the European road toward Socialism and sovereign bankruptcy. Without them, we will lose.
#4
Our man/woman must win at least 40% of the Hispanic vote, as Bush #43 did in 2000 and 2008. Several of our candidates could accomplish this, with the notable exception of Donald Trump, whose strident rhetoric on Immigration has most assuredly burned all of his bridges to Spanish-speaking people everywhere. If Trump wins, we will most assuredly lose in November.
Of those who appear to be “in position” now, my own choice is Marco Rubio. Among all candidates, I believe that Rubio has the best “tone and temperament” for tackling each of the (4) tasks above. To me, at least, Marco would be the quiet and thoughtful leader that our country needs, and I would have great confidence in his experience and judgement.
Wishing you all the best with your own personal choices.
Semper Fidelis
Rubio is a liar (gang of 8).
Legal Hispanics are no friend of illegal immigration.
By your logic, Reagan could not have won.
If we don’t close the borders now, we won’t be able to. In another generation, America as we know it will not exist – we will have successfully been colonized.
We. Have 65 million Hispanics in the U.S. Our whole economie would come tumbling down if we did what trump says he is
Going to do with the Mexicans !
They own over 20 million acres (thousand of farms ) in the U.S. For over 120 years
Go to the border talk to some of the people ( Americans ) that are 6th generation Mexican American you find out how much you Don’t know !
NO MORE moderates, Demolites GOP, etc. We want vigor, strength, a non-politician sucking us dry and betraying their oaths of office, enriching themselves on our backs, turning their backs on us, and no management skills visible to date except to take care of themselves without We, The People okaying their pay and perks, and their kissing O’s behind! We need fire, strength, intelligence and heart and soul and so far Trump has it all and not owned by them, so burn him in any way you can. I like Carson and Huckabee and Rand, but not ready yet for the WH. Christi, Kasich, Fiorina, and Rubio off to the trash can because bought and paid for establishment meaning more of the same old, same old. These latter 4 are really nothings and only want the money and power and I would say adulation and because they need a job! They have nothing to offer but rhetoric. I like Cruz but maybe president after Trump rights the ship and we can have America sail again as the best country on the planet and remove the stench of Obama and his puppeteers.
Trump no! No one likes him in washington because of his insults to most Americans. Will not be elected period !
Trump is another Obama and I’m sorry to say but like with Obama you will all find out too late. Trump can NOT do what he promised
You must be for Hilkiller rod
Yeah Jaunita, we have our citizenship, and sick and tired of busting our butts, paying for lazy border jumpers way. So we are for Mr. Trump for America, it is time to kick the free loaders out and protect our country once and for all. !!!!!
I can’t beleave anyone would compare Trump to Oboma, you’ve lost u’r sence of being, Trump is all this country has left to dig us out of the hell hole the terrorists in Chef Odummy has put us in, the status quo and professional politicians want do a damn thing but the same old BS.
Too True…. The “I told you so” will not be worth the problems he will bring to the White House…
NO ONE NOT NOT ONE HAS, EVEN REAGAN WHO STARTED THE DOWNFALL OF PRODUCING GOODS IN THIS COUNTRY go TRUMP get rid of ALL the free loaders in this country and collect ALL the Obama phones build the wall and keep ALL the freeloaders OUT and bring back a federal DEATH PENALTY and treat drug dealers as criminals not medical sick people bring back the ELLIOT NESSES
Juanita,
You don’t know your candidates, probably never read anything about their background. I know the Trump family first handed. My Dad worked for Donald’s father in the 30’s building houses in Queens NY. Donald’s father was the best to work for, he worried about his employees and made sure everyone was treated fairly. I personally knew Donald’s brother Bob. The family is what you see, is what you get. Genuine to the core.
It would be nice not to put up with killery If TRUMP is half as good as you say it would be 900,000,000
times better than what we have now.
That is what I see when i look into Donald’s eyes, and spoke briefly with Ivanka!
If Sanders continues to sore in polls he could get nominated.
Will not
AT LEAST,he’LL try.
Donald Trump would never be like Obama ~ Obama WOULD NOT do what he promised to do, not could not. . He didn’t need Congress, he vetoes then over rides anything they submit.All he needs is a phone and a pen, he does everything with an Executive order, and he does everything he wants, and nothing else!
The Republican field is the strongest that I have ever witnessed in the last 44 years in my lifetime of voting. Carley, and Dr. Carson are super candidates. As a businessman, I have never had a recession last more than 2-3 years, and Jimmy Carter’s administration being the longest. Since Obama has been in office, I personally feel we have never been out of a recession. We are currently in a false economy, trillions in debt, and I here Hillary wanted to finish Obama’s 3 term to completely destroy this Country. I have to smile because even Hillary realizes there is anger in America because of the direction our Country has taken in the last 7 tears, but she wants to carry on the same policies of this administration? The quality of life begins with a PAY CHECK, and as a businessman Donald Trump gets it. He has made his billions, and he is ready to devote his next 8 years to “Make America Great Again” !!!
Bob Freeman you are quite correct! We have NOT been out of recession since Obama took office, because every time the economy shows signs of recovering, he tosses another monkey wrench into the works to bring things to a half. He has created such a climate of uncertainty that businesses are AFRAID to hire more workers, uncertain how much said workers will end up costing with the daily changes Obamacare and other regulations throw into the mix. Obama is a MARXIST MUSLIM who hates this country, and wants to see us reduced to Third World status, and EVERYTHING he does is toward that end. I’m by no means certain there will BE an election this year, because I just can’t see that power-mad, prissy little Idi Amin wannabe voluntarily giving up the power of the Presidency when his term is over. He keeps floating coy little trial balloons about “running for a third term” to see how much pushback he gets to that idea.There is a LOT of evidence that he is preparing for civil war, or at the LEAST widespread civil disorder and martial law. The MURDER of that rancher in Oregon may be the “opening shot” in that war. And his absolute DETERMINATION to nullify the Second Amendment and disarm us all is, in my view, simply MORE PROOF of his bad intentions.
Anyone who has not realized that the goal of the Democratic Party has been to turn America into a dictatorship. A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for Obama’s third term, simply because Obama will be calling the shots even though Hillary were to be the President. If she doesn’t play the game according to script, she will simply die in some fashion, the VP will be Obama’s man. Hillary was TOLD to stand down and allow Obama to be the Democratic presidential candidate, the polls were rigged/manipulated so that Obama couldn’t lose, in 2012 the same thing happened, democtatic voters came out of the wood works, the same people voted several times, dead people came alive and voted. Harry Reids Nevada is so corrupted that anyone on a Democratic ticket will win, any Republicans who do win are on Reid’s payroll. There are no real Republicans in Nevada. California is a far gone conclusion that there are no honest people or honest voting. Brown should never have won the Governor’s seat. California has been a socialist bastion since day one, its the devil’s playground.
If Hillary gets in Bill will be made UN Sec General, then kiss our constitution good by. Trump is the man to win and turn this mess around!!
Amen Amen Go Trump 2016
Trump will lose the election to Hillary. Period !!!!! If by chance he gets to the White House he will get nothing done period !!!
At least 10 Republicians will cacus with the dems they really hate Trump !!! If he comes over to the the Dems they will go
Back to the Republicans Trump will will be be completely stumped .
His ideas are a joke
I stared to vote in 1985 and my experience says Trump, campaigned for Obama. Obama, H. Clinton and Trump are 3 of a kind – arrogant, slanderous bigots. Carson – Carly F are great candidates either one would be a excellent president and the other as vice president.
TRUMP IS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!! HURRAH!
The only running he’ll do after tonight is FROM strong women, Putin, and ISIS. He is all talk but no backbone.
Where is the proof to your analogizes? I would like to know before I vote for him in Oklahoma.
Dave must be a democrap. Trump employs 1,000s of hispanics. Even the hispanics that are true citizens do not want illegal hispanics coming in and taking their jobs. They went through the legal process to become a citizen, not come here illegally for a free ride. Trump will change the “illegal” immigrant problem.
He does not employee any Hispanics period !!! That is false !! His business is like Walmart
He does not own the Towers , They are not built by him !! He leases this buildings puts his name on them !!
This guy is a phony ! His 4 bankruptcies he still owes over 1000 venders millions of dollars !!
The building that were built for Trump enterprises employed more than a few illegals over a 25 year span of time !
Phony !! Start researching him. He is pretty much a scam Artist !
I did the research of his past and listened to him on the campaign trail and used my mind and deduced observations and came to the conclusion Trump is a Liberal and like Obama and H Clinton. Before he was running for president he invited H Clinton to his last wedding and she went. Pictures are on the internet.
I hope so! We have several months to go and a lot of things could happen until then.
Time will tell.
Donald Trump is not perfect, but he is the best person to save America from a complete disaster.
I totally agree! Mr. Trump will try his hardest to do what he says because he does have a “big ego” and likes to win. These are not bad traits – we just have not looked for them in candidates in the past. Let’s give him a chance. It cannot get any worse then the situation our country is in now. From GW Bush’s last 4 years thru Obama’s nearly last 8 years – we are in worse shape then ever……our country needs a change and a business man who knows what to do to make things happen and is not afraid to do what he thinks is right…….My vote is still for ###Trump###.
You are very wrong this guy is a scam artist. Thru our history business men make bad presidents !
Bad character He talks to much on his past interviews brags about how many married women he nailed , more than BillClinton We need a president with morals & character he broke his marriage vows many many times
If he will lie to his first two wife’s You think he is going to to tell you the truth
The senate hates his ass. You think they are going to work with him
A president can not write law only the senate & the house can. & he called them idiots & stupid
They have all said they will neuter him Bad bad choice
I want to know why Mr. Cruz, a Canadian Born person can run for president. You are supposed to be born in this country and by 35 years old to run?????? Thank you.
mgjones, Ted Cruz is allowed to run for President because the Constitution requires only that Presidents be “natural born” citizens & 35 years old. This clause was inserted to keep wealthy foreigners from coming into the newly established nation & buying their way into leadership. As decades & centuries began to pass, America became a country of increasiNgly ,obile people; some travelling for business, others began to have holdings in foreign countries & still more endured military deployments to faraway places so the Constitution was changed with various amendments & Congress passed different Citizenship Acts, the first in 1940, a nother in 1952 and still another in 1986 to clarify who could & could not be considered a “natural born citizen.” It’s been decided for years that the child born to ANY American citizen born anywhere in the world would by virtue of that birthright be considered a US citizen. They are eligible to run for President if that parent spent a specificed number of years in America over the age of 14. Ted Cruz’s Mother was born & raised in DE & therefore he meets every qualification as laid out by the Constitution to be considered a “natural born American.” This same caveat is what allowed John McCain the right to run for President even though he had been born in Panama while his parents were in the military there. It also would have covered BHO even if he had been born in Kenya because his Mother was an American citizen, born & raised in the USA. Whatever issues you have with Senator Cruz, I’m afraid your only alternative is to not vote for him because there’s nothing you can legally do to stop his campaign; he’s good to go.His 1970 birthday clearly makes him of age as well.
Also his father is not natural born to USA. It is confusing because there has never been so strong a case to disqualify a candidate on these grounds. It needs to be tested in the judicial system.
Cruz wife sat on CFR, helped plan the North American Union, she is a goldmsan sachs lawyer, Cruz has taken loans from goldman sachs and citi bank, and did not disclose that to the people. He wants to look like he is for the people, but in the end he is for special interest group that seeks the globalist NWO agenda!!
Everything you posted is untrue.
Here is a link that establishes why Cruz is eligible: http://conservativehideout.com/2015/03/31/ted-cruz-is-a-natural-born-citizen/
Cruz’s wife contributed to a CFR report. Lots of people contribute to CFR reports. She also said nothing wrong in the report. Here’s a link that reveals what she wrote: http://blogcritics.org/anatomy-of-a-smear-heidi-cruz/
Cruz took out a loan from GS, and filled it out on the wrong form, but listed it on another. Here’s a link that explains: http://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2016/01/14/sorry-nyt-cruzs-goldman-sachs-loan-was-disclosed-n2104684
Cruz, being strongly pro-religious freedom, pro-2A, anti-illegal, is not for any sort of NWO. You are completely incorrect.
News flash it was when Obama was decided to be legal if you are looking for courts to decide. I read the constitution Cruz is legal Trump is a slanderer. I’m for Carson and Carly F team winning the presidential ticket.
Not so Cruz can run !! Courts have ruled !
Why leave out the biggest dead turkey from the bunch Jeb Bush his family stuck their noses to create the worst problem since Oboma, just go away JJeb.
Awe heck are you picking on Mama’s boy, we do not want him either, we are for Mr. Trump and he is doing great here in AZ. where our borders are in great trouble, it is the such a sad thing that the river jumpers will not own up and become a citizen, NO they just want to take jobs and go home with the money they make here, especially with all the dope coming across the borders, selling little children to weird people, all and all might as well call them slavers. Go Trump 2016
Trump is spoiled rotten, people are not looking at his behavior and are willing to vote for him. Dump Trump.
My son and I r voting for Mr. Trump we believe he is a president we can b proud of???? We believe him when he says he can make our country great and respected again!!!
For days on end, the “Top Three” have generated an abundance of noise directed at the good people of Iowa. Today, as the smoke and din clears, the focused, gently-presented but constructive plans of Dr. Ben Carson will be seen as the direction for our nation. Weighing the claims, fabrications and counter-claims of others is but a quagmire – cast your vote for Ben Carson!
No this time, we are for Mr. Trump now and forever.
Carson and Carly 2016!
JOIN THE REVOLUTION. VOTE BERNIE OR DONALD !!!!!!!!! KEEP THE SOCIAL ISSUES AT HOME, WHERE THEY BELONG. TAKE CARE OF THE PEOPLE AND BRING MONEY INTO THE COUNTRY. STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHETHER GAYS CAN MARRY AND FOCUS ON YOUR LIFE-WHO CARES! IF WE ARE IN A HOLY WAR, IDENTIFY WHO THEY ARE! NOT RASICM. WE CAN’T AFFORD TO PAY FOR HEALTH CARE FOR OUR OWN, HOW CAN WE GIVE CHARITY WHEN AMERICANS ARE STARVING AND CAN’T GET HEALTH CARE.
You don’t want to vote for Bernie Sanders. Don’t you see what is going on in socialist countries like Venezuela, Cuba, Greece, France and others…
Denmark has also its problems lately with socialism.
Unfortunately, when many people hear they could get free stuffs they just go for it.
Bernie Sanders is following Obama’s ideas who did win the election promising free phones and else…
Truth is Sander’s is better than Trump. If I have to vote for one it will be Sanders. Sanders unlike Trump does not lie nor is purposely disrespectful. I do not want H Clinton nor Obama. All 4 socialist Burney is the only one who is honorable enough to admit it, and stay with his claims and admit he is wrong sometimes, And he does not believe he is above the law.
Most people who like Trump and Sanders fail to realize that it takes a support of the majority of Congress to get bills made into laws. Neither candidate will get enough Congressional support for their ideas.
Excuse me look at what Obama has done with out the Congress Support, Obama snubs his nose at them and does just what he wants to do, TEAR AMERICA DOWN, we are for Mr. Trump which we believe will rebuild our beautiful America !!!!
He can not write law ! Only the senate & the house can ! They do not like him he will get nothing done !
He is a scam artist
, Screwed around on his 2 wife’s many times. Broke his marriage vows for 35 years !
America should never put this person in power He is a pig !!!
Law is social policy. The two cannot be divorced. Every law inculcates morality, or otherwise murder and stealing would be illegal. The state should not encourage people to be mentally ill or immoral.
Why not eliminate Jeb Bush. He is so boring.
AMEN
Trumps message resonates, thanks for the message but please leave.
Not with most Trump has no true majority of votes in the republican party. NOONE does.
I have thought this out hard, very,very,very hard. Carson is a wonderful man. I adore Mike Huckabee. But, Marco Rubio has more moxie and smooth than any one of them. To me, and I am many times left alone in my thinking and resolve like a seal pup on an ice flow, Trump is to the USA what George S. Patton was to the Axis of WWII. Trump is the only one that has ENOUGH guts, the only one. You think that little pipsqueak in North Korea is going to deal excrement to President DJT? No way. You think world wide shipping companies are going to not have the U.S. Navy stop piracy on the high seas that just restarted in the past fifteen years after two centuries of American Sea Power the world over? Do any of you believe DJT could ever puke up anything like Fast and Furious? No way. Trust yourselves. Trust GOD. Trust DJT. Thank you.
He will never get to the White House !!! He calls every body stupid & idiots in the leader ship
The only ones that can make him successful are the leader ship in congress
They hate his ass because he such a lose cannon He will get nothing done period !!
Think TRUMP can do it but might need to take Condoleezza Rice along w/him as she is brilliant and I feel could do him a lot of good w/seated politicians.
Not a bad idea, if Condoleezza will come back into politcs…..
The new (Rep) President must create a council and a compensation fund for the true (real) victims of slavery. Only a Republican can do it. Never too late to repair a major injustice.
What are you talking about? At present the entire nation is enslaved by the owners of the fed res and the national debt of 18 + trillion dollars and the interest on this goes to whom??? Who are the riches people in America? Gates, Buffett? How about the owners of the fed res who are never mentioned? Perhaps their records are sealed?
Everyone who was a slave prior to the Civil War is dead. Everyone who held a slave prior to the Civil War is dead. There is no-one left to compensate and there is no-one from whom to take compensation. The 14th and 15th amendments already made restitution.
The issue is over. It has been over for years. The only reason it is resurfacing is some are seeking boogeymen to blame for their lack of achievement.
Trump and his fellow slave owners should pay but that can only happen if we the majority boycott their businesses. Buying politicians is slave ownership. No President can solve that one.
Ben Carson is a fine man but not for potus. Many good positions in Trumps cabinet, great to help with new health care plan! Geez he is the slowest man, has great values & hates liars, me toooo!
Sadly polls is clearly dominated by personality like Donal Trump. To be in the white house is completely different in intertainment , building contruction and billions of network . It is about integrity, honesty, sencerity , consistency, humility, experience , family beliefs and orientation are the most important determining factors for a leader.
Good speeches, excellent debator and televangelist like speeches will not keep our
country safe.
Don’t count Dr. Ben Carson out. If God is for him, who can stand against him? Win Ben Win!
GO TRUMP
I was around during the Reagan years and the economy was great. We were a proud nation and stood up for our rights
Now we are sinking fast.
TRUMP will return our glory and strength
GO TRUMP
The country started going to hell with Ronald Reagan with plyler vs doe and the immigration and naturalization act of 1986 read them don’t just say how great he was he put us where we are now bankrupt cost of illegal aliens
A double Amen
I would vote for any of the Republican presidential candidates, but Dr. Ben Carson is my favorite. It would be so wonderful to have a man who would handle things in a cool and calm manner, and someone who would choose all the best people for cabinet positions; people he could depend on for credible advice, and that would depend on God for wisdom and guidance for our Nation. God Bless America!
Carly F as vice president
He does not have a clue what’s going on! No experience !, he needs to get out ! You must have experience .
It would Carson 6 months to find the bath room in the White House
This is a very big complex job Being a smart doctor does not get you ready to do the job of president
We have doctors already in Washington that are smarter than Dr Carson That do have experience in government
About 8 of them in the senate & the house That are smarter than Dr. Carson
I hope “The Donald” taps into some of this group of Patriotic Americans for his cabinet. It would be a shame to waste all this knowledge.
I hope “The Donald” taps into some of this group of Patriotic Americans for his cabinet. It would be a shame to waste all this knowledge.
I like Donald Trump, I respect what he says, but there is a lot of silly people out there that believe what he says, but Trump will only do what Bill will allow him to do….. and what is that divide the Republicans like President Obama divided the country.
Chris Christie is the only tested and qualified candidate to be the next President of the United States. I live in NJ and I can say that he has fought hard and won on many accounts to clean up the corruption and wasteful spending in this state, and he’ll do that same in Washington. He also has experience fighting terrorism by trying and locking up several terrorist related to 911. I just hope and pray that people give him a chance! He’s only one who knows how to keep our country safe and thriving!
The most amazing thing to me is that Trump is the only candidate that isn’t bought by big donors and people are still voting for those who are..Who knows what they have to promise their backers to please them? GO figure.
We need our morals brought back to pride, so much garbage has happened in the White House and we have been brought down so far that Mr. Trump will have a hard time bringing back our standings and a Great America and no whining will happen with Mr. Trump, it will be the right way or the highway. Go Trump 2016
Wrong Trump is being sponsored by other big billionaires !! you put him we are screwed
He is saying a lot of nothing Pee Wee Hermon is saying the same thing you want him as VP ???
Some say who cares if gays want to marry. Some will say leave the Bible and its followers and what you believe, it matters not. Then others say, usually people who has money, nothing matters as long as I get my money. Finally and not the least you have those who say don’t worry about the Military those terrorist want bother us as long as we don’t call them Islamist Terrorist. How many men and women must die for your freedom before they say No More dieing for a country that no longer believes in God and don’t give a darn about another persons life. Now they want to take away your rights to protect your family.
Somewhere in there is some one that will take care of all these things if elected. Has a kind heart for those who needs it but carries a big stick and will use it when needed. I can’t imagine what this country will become if we elect the wrong person. Obama fooled the whole United States twice with a hypnotic voice. Now we have a candidate who yells and calls people stupid if you disagree with him. Think about it. is it not the same thing as Obama, he thinks he will do everything his way or the highway. Do we want another dictator for President. I honestly believe that Dr Ben Carson can provide everything we need as President in times like this as listed above. Please consider and vote for Dr Carson and you will have someone you can trust. We have not had a real honest man to be President in such a long time this is what I need to think my Grandchildren will have a future.
Agreed! Ben Carson our Real POTUS candidate! Bump the odds!
Ben Carson and Carly F for presidential team 2016.
IF CARSON COULD JUST TEAR HIMSELF AWAY FROM AL SHARPTON AND EITHER BE BY HIMSELF OR HOOK UP WITH SOMEONE WITH MORE INTEGRITY, I WOULD BE APT TO STAND BEHIND HIM. RIGHT NOW, I HAVE TO STAND WITH TRUMP (EVEN THOUGH HE SHOWS SIGNS OF A NARCISSISTS).
IF CARSON COULD JUST TEAR HIMSELF AWAY FROM AL SHARPTON AND EITHER BE BY HIMSELF OR HOOK UP WITH SOMEONE WITH MORE INTEGRITY, I WOULD BE APT TO STAND BEHIND HIM. RIGHT NOW, I HAVE TO STAND WITH TRUMP (EVEN THOUGH HE SHOWS SIGNS OF A NARCISSISTS).
Vote for Dr Ben Carson the Candidate for
All grandchildren
I agree, Barry. We want the next President to lead this country back to the constitution and back to God. It is the only hope for our grandchildren.
I’m pretty sure Bush should be out before Carson.
I agree, but will Bush get special treatment because he has so much super pac money left. Take note that this is talking about their money drying up and then the support leaving them. Bush has the family name to keep him in the race until March. Then he may have no choice but to drop out if his numbers do not rise.
After 32 years in business, the last 7 have been the worse. After having lost 30% a year for the past 7 years, having to lay people off, This country and economy has been shanghaied. We need to take America back and hold on to it this time. Trump is the last chance we have. All the rest are in the bag to the lobbyists. My vote is Trump all the way.
David, how can we be sure that Trump will do what he says he will do? He was a democrat, now he is Republican. He was a friend of Bill and Hillary’s and now???
Mary Jo, we were democrats and just changed over to republican, can we be trusted ??? We are business owners, are we bad now because we flipped over to Mr. Trump, ??????
David I agree, we sold our business 6 years ago, a Feed & Tack store, feed went sky high after Obama started importing from Mexico and UK we lost a lot of money, so I agree with you Obama was and is dead set on destroying all of us Americans.
I agree that if God is through with America, Ben will lose. If so our country will Reap the Whirlwind as they say.
Trump has energized the republican party. I think he will do the things he has been saying(seal the border, etc.).But, if you are a conservative, you will be very disappointed with Trump. If you listen to what he says, he is a big government man. For govt run healthcare, govt takeover of property, etc. Do you ever hear him talk of reigning in the IRS, making the govt smaller and getting it out of running our lives? Remember a businessman spends his/hers own money to make the business grow and make money. Governments goal is not to grow or make money and spends your money. A successful businessman doesn’t mean a good president.
predict Rand Paul will survive to fight another day.
It is sad that some of the people with the most wisdom and integrity will not be chosen by the Iowa cacus. Dr Carson has the most integrity of the entire group in my opinion, and is genuinely concerned about America more than his political career, but he isn’t a polished debator. When he speaks it is words of wisdom however. Several of our best presidents in the past were not wonderful orators or professional liars and led well and made America a better place. This seems to be a different era in which if the candidate makes wild promises or flashes like a celebrity the crowds follow them like sheep to the slaughter and never understand what happened. Pray for America!
The field will be much smaller after New Hampshire. A smaller field will hopefully allow voters greater control over choosing the eventual victor. Many of these candidates are good people, but this campaign cycle has seen an abundance of competent Republicans. Unfortunately the Democrats are limited to choosing among three bad candidates.
People Need To Listen To What God Said’s. And Not To Men’s Traditions. The Real Reason Our Country Is And Has Been In Trouble For Decades Is Because In God We Trust Was Taken Out Of Everything To Do With Our Country. When God Is Not In Our Life’s Every Day That Is When Everything Goes Wrong Big Time!! So When More People Pray To God To Help Us In Every Way That Is When Our Country Will Grow More In Every Way AMEN!!!! Everyone Has To Remember That God Picks Different People To Do His Works. I Beleave God Has Picked Donald Trump To Carry Out His Plan. For All His Children To Gather Back In God’s Way!!!!
Even thu he Brags about the all the women he committed adultery with married women many many women !
He admits this on 3 different interviews I think is low charerter low moral pig & God picked him ???
Trump is not electable and he has affended too many minority groups. Also, there is plenty of dirt that will come out via Hillary and the dems if he runs on the republican ticket. He will not be able to insult his way to the presidency.
Go Trump for the smart people, :>)
I’m not surprised that the majority of Americans are blinded and fooled because they are governed by the whims of the media and their own emotional instability. But, I am disappointed that a real gola setting, achiever like Ben Carson is not in the upper echelons any more. The reasons seem to be that he is too intelligent, he’s a true problem resolver, he thinks before he speaks, he’s too honest, too patriotic, not loud and flashy enough, not argumentative and rude enough, and the list goes on. He is also not a double-talking, conniving lawyer with a bag full of dirty tricks that can be twisted into the news media support in whatever way they desire. He is simply a proven product of his whole successful, accomplishment filled, life from ghetto to neurosurgeon. He has been respected, sought after, and at the top of his profession in spite of all the odds. Not one other candidate could even begin to accomplish what Ben Carson has done in life with hard work, study, dedication and the love of God. I know that’s why we have, at times, seen Ben sitting back and chuckling at the often ridiculous circus that has gone on before his eyes in the political arena, under the auspices of a Presidential Campaign won by power, lies, money, and fast talk. I’m sure he just shakes his head in disbelief that the so-called educated and informed folks who would be our leaders could be so asinine. It’s disgusting that the American People are so brainwashed and blinded that they want to elect leaders that will ultimately fail to meet our country’s needs or fulfill the true desires of the people. Unfortunately, It appears that the majority of Americans seem to embrace those who can yell the loudest and double-talk the fastest, regardless of what they say. It’s a sad day for us all….but the days ahead will be even more desolate for us all, except of course for the socialistic elitists in power, at whose mercy we will be. If you vote for Hillary or Bernie, plan to be ready for the years of government control and finally the ultimate ruination of Free America, as we know it. Are you going to let it happen or are you going to wake up and smell the coffee and vote for a proven man of success in every part of his own life. A man of Honor and integrity seems to be ideals of the past. It’s not brain surgery you know!! Make the right decision Iowa! Don’t be blindsided….America is depending on you.
Mr.Carson should be our next President as he fills all the qualities of a CHRISTain Leader and don’t let the soft demeanor fool you he will be tough when the time comes to be tough – GOD bless Mr. Carson and may he be the choice of our LORD…
Wake up how many remember Obama said that he was sending all our soldiers home out of Afganistain I know I spelt this freaking word wrong but who gives a crap its a sink hole any way but anyway,now he say’s they are not coming home he lied , how many more lies has he told more than we can count and he has got away with them we don’t need Carson if you watch and listen to him ,he doesn’t say anything that makes any sense , he has no back bone to stand up for himself he just keeps that stupid smile on his face , we don’t need another Bush and we sure the h- – l don’t need another Clinton talk about lies she has to tell a lie to get out of a lie and she just keeps it up , so you people that want her in the White House that’s all your are going to get nothing but lies just like we are getting from Obama. We need Trump in the White House to get this Country back on track cause if we don’t you think it is bad now you are going to have this United States Of America filled with so many immigrant’s , illegals and so on that that this country will start looking like these places where you don’t have a roof over your head ,very little food , stinking a- – water to drink is that what yaw want for our United States Of America , well let me tell you I don’t want to live like this ,so if yaw don’t want it then you had better put your vote in for Donald Trump , Give him a year and I bet any thing he will have us back on track and all these people that are not legal they wont be here and I’m like a lot of you I am sick and tired of living from pay check to pay check ( MY VOTE IS FOR DONALD TRUMP ) PS . IF YAW CARE ANY THING ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY YOU’LL DO THE SOME ,JUST MARK MY WORD HE WILL GET IT DONE
what planet are you from Carson makes sense total sense. Trump is the one who lacks sense.
I wish cruz were on this list. There is no candidate as dangerous as he is.
Dr. Carson should blame himself associating himself with Repubs and TPs. GOP is a party of rich White males. I was shocked when Dr. Carson dissociated himself from President Obama. You remember at a party Carson renounced Obamacare in front of President Obama- a fellow African-American. President Obama could not believe it was coming from a fellow African-American. Of course White Repubs and TPs loved it a Black man hate Obamacare. Obamacare enables poor Whites and Blacks to have access to preventive medical services. Dr. Carson could be a millionaire for being a successful surgeon. But it seems he forgot he is Black and that Repubs and TPs hate smart Blacks and White women. Look how they treated Herman Cain, Michael Steele, Allen Keyes, Michele Buchman and Sarah Palin – like junk. And I have seen quite a few Blacks around my neighborhood who do not want to be seen with other Blacks. Now Carson will find out the hard way. His polls are down. The Iowa Caucus may be his last straw. I wish him to go back as a surgeon not as a politician. He is welcome to us Demos. We will make him US Surgeon General- not as President or VP.
You are brainwashed to think Republicans hate blacks and other minorities. The truth is we have 3 racial minorities on our ticket for president none are on the democratic side. Carson realizes many Americans were skewed over the coals by Obamacare. I lost excellent healthcare and was offered health care that cost 3 times the price and covered less and lost my full time status for benefits because of Obamacare. I’m not in the minority. If blacks would look at the facts and not be brainwashed then mabye your friends would be treated with respect. My black friends are treated with respect. I am treated with respect, Both Carly F and H Clinton are women. Democrats have a racial issue. I’m voting for Ben Carson. Obama is a terrible president and I’m glad he can not run again.
As I recall, it was the blacks who gave the finger to Herman Cain and Allan Keyes. And it is always the blacks who attempt to shout down any conservative black candidate. Selective recall might feel good to you but we all know (and statistics support the fact) that blacks only support candidates who have a “D” after their name. The stupidity of American blacks is well-documented. That they willingly elect politicians bent of exploiting their stupidity is a national tragedy.
You are right. Cruz is the most dangerous. To the establishment. He did what he was elected to do and that is a threat to Washington.
I can’t believe anybody in this country who would actually vote for a MENICE like HILARY Clinton! Do these voters read, or hear or see the condition our country is in
With their poll numbers so low it is surprising that some of them have held on this long. Doctor Ben Carson would have been a good choice for president. He was at the head of my fantasy dream team for the next administration. A reality check is now required to revise that team. He is now relegated to Secretary of Health and Human Services. Carly Fiorina is still the pick for Vice President but that may have to be revised as well. Ted Cruz is now the choice to head up the team as President. And Donald Trump is still on the list for Secretary of State. Some other changes will need to be made as well.
