This is your change America,your change to get back the middle class.
Do not make the mistake of voting for Hillary. I want a women as president probably more then anyone, but not this women! That way she said "sry" after coming back from the break a bit late and smiling catching the laughs. Its all so fake.
Bernie is the guy, hes real and he will work for the American middle class,not his corporate sponsors.

And he will accomplish nothing because a Tea Party controlled Senate and Congress will never work with a socialist.
But then neither will Hillary because they will not work with her either.

Republican presidential candidate and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said in an interview Sunday that he "hated" being the party's front runner and feels "much better back here."

The latest national poll showed Bush with 3 percent, along with Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Donald Trump had the lead with 41 percent support, according to the Monmouth poll.

Bush told "Face the Nation" host John Dickerson that he hated being the front runner.

"Six months ago people thought you were the front runner," Dickerson said.

"Yeah, I hated that," Bush replied. "I feel much better back here."

Dickerson asked him to clarify.

"Well I've always thought that there was going to be a high expectation for me. And I totally get it," Bush continued. "Because I have a brother that was president and a father that was president. And that higher expectation was important to realize. And so being the front runner made me feel like the other guys just dancing right through this. I have to go earn it. I have higher expectations on me than people have on me."

Bush said it doesn't bother him that there are high expectations for him and "feels good" where the campaign is now.

The fact that you think there'd be a Republican-led Senate (and to a lesser extent Congress) makes me pause.

You can be sure that if Bernie somehow wins the Democratic nominee and takes the Presidency, he will take the rest of the country with him. This is why it's important for Bernie to win. He is the only Democratic candidate who could excite the base in a way that would bring out record levels of voter turnout. Provided he can defeat the establishment first, of course.

When should we expect to see Rubio take off? People keep reminding me of how long it took Romney to take off. It's still just so weird for me to think that at one point it'll be Rubio in the upper 30s.

Rubio won't get to 30%, but if he does, it would be because it's him Trump and Cruz in a three way race after all the other candidates have dropped out.

People can and do dismiss the poll results on who people are voting for, but if you look at the issue polls Trump is crushing the competition there also.

Though I feel like this election is some form of mass masochism where the two least likable/trustworthy candidates are leading.

Rubio seems like the guy who hasn't had an independent thought since entering politics. Can't see him going far.

Also, that Jeb Bush interview is a joke.

"Six months ago people thought you were the front runner," Dickerson said.

"Yeah, I hated that," Bush replied. "I feel much better back here."


Why would you ever say that lol

I feel like he literally never ever knows what to say, except he says the wrong thing a bit more eloquently (as in, without mispronouncing as many words) than his brother.

Because he never wanted to be a presidential candidate? Because he is pressured into this by his brother/father?

This may seem cruel, but it isn't really any sadder than the thousands of other people who die every day. :-\

That is cruel, its not seemingly cruel, its very sad and thats that, its rather crass comparing how sad someones death is. I get what you mean, but these are things you think and not say. Just some advice.

It's always sad when a person's heart just gives out. Especially at the premature age of 28. Heck, I'll be that age in 4 months, and I have wayyy too much other stuff to do before I'm dead.

is this the point where reality has surpassed satire - again?

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump defended Russian President Vladimir Putin against accusations that he has assassinated political adversaries and journalists, responding to criticism from his rivals over his embrace of praise from the Russian leader.

"Nobody has proven that he's killed anyone. ... He's always denied it. It's never been proven that he's killed anybody,” Trump said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. “You're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, at least in our country. It has not been proven that he's killed reporters."

...

On Thursday, Putin praised Trump during a wide-ranging news conference, calling him “talented without doubt" and "brilliant." Trump has embraced the remarks, drawing fire from critics such as Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who facetiously called the alliance “a match made in heaven.” Trump welcomed Putin's praise, citing it as proof that a Trump administration would be able to work well with the Russians.

Pretty funny, entirely Trump-esque. Both Putin and Trump are stage performers.

It wasn't a genuine smile?
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.
