So.... Now that it appears he is in it for the long haul... and is #1 in the polls, what do you think? A serious contender to win the Republican nomination? Or a lounge act.....
I'm still not convinced that Donald will be around too much longer, I think Fox News is going to come out against him. I hope I'm wrong about that. They use to say that Jeb was the smart brother, but I'm not so sure about that any more. It doesn't look like either Walker or Christie could carry their own state in the general. Maybe that leave Rubio?
I think Hillary is doing fine. She'll position herself midway between Barack and Bernie, cater to woman, blacks and Latinos and try to avoid making any stupid mistakes.
I suggest you take a listen to John Kasich's announcement speech. I was impressed..
I know John pretty well, remember he's my governor. He's certainly not as crazy as the rest of the crowd, but I'm not entirely sure he's ready for prime time although he would probably carry Ohio in the general and that's a pretty important plus.
Isn't it really sad that we live in a world where this loud mouth fool is the leading contender of the GOP for president, having said that, the only thing more advantageous for the Democrats would be if the GOP kicks him out and he runs as an independent, and with his recent insane actions, this is a real possibility.
Eh. Clinton is a crook and a liar (yeah I'm in Arkansas, where we KNOW her), and Obama was an accident because he's black. I'm not prejudiced, its just a fact. And name one pres who WASN'T elected for 2 terms for the past several. Americans will vote the status quo every time because its easier.
Which Clinton are you referring to because as I recall the only Clinton who has been president is a he (so far), and a damn good one. Obama was an accident?! People accidentally voted for him just because he's black? And he's also a damn good president.
How it is easier to vote for the incumbent?
Trumps popularity is from the people that like honesty, lack of political type double talk, which means blunt and direct. Plenty of folks in the US prefer basic talk to the nonsense these political folks like to talk.
We still have about a year till the real election time stuff actually starts. Lots of changes will happen by then for both parties and independents. We need such a shake up in our politics. Far too much political nonsense and not enough leadership happening for many years now.
I'm pretty sure that statement was made while we were still discussing who was RUNNING.
Incumbent? Already there, so no thinking about or worrying about changes.

This is why tigers eat their young.
You referred to both Clinton and Obama, one of which is not running. How is Hillary a crook? Never mind. I'm sure BobF will make something up to fill in any gaps.
This is the reason why people like Trump are able to rise so high in the GOP polls.
