Wether that's a bluff is another question I wouldn't vote for Trump in the general and I'm registered republican. I'd vote for an independent if I found one worthy or I'd abstain. This is 100% not a bluff. I'm hoping for either Cruz to surge or a convention in which Trump loses. I personally like Kasich, but have no problem with Cruz. | ||

I dont know the republican delagate math but if he thinks he can block more delegates from going to Trump by staying in then he might want to consider staying but if he thinks that staying in only helps Trump he should drop out because he clearly does not want Trump at any cost. | ||

Everyone who worked with him said he was lazy and would shirk responsibilities to jump to the next higher office whenever he could. Fun stories about boy Rubes: "Rubio left his first-ever elected position, on the West Miami City Commission, after one year to run for the Florida House. He "landed one of 12 highly desired spots" on a post-9/11 Florida Legislature security committee only to miss six out of its 15 meetings. Mike Fasano, a former Florida House majority leader, chose Rubio as one of his whips but says he showed up so rarely to strategy meetings that asking "Where's Rep. Rubio?" became a running joke. Hialeah mayor and GOP "kingmaker" Raúl Martinez, one of the first people Rubio spoke to about becoming speaker of the Florida House, now says he "wouldn't support [Rubio] for dog catcher" because of a broken promise related to school funding. Tony DiMatteo, a Florida Republican who conducted straw polls that gave Rubio's U.S. Senate campaign a crucial early PR boost, says Rubio failed to follow through on his promise to help DiMatteo become party chairman. DiMatteo has already cast a ballot for Trump. A South Florida activist named Joyce Kaufman says Rubio's "lying" and "betrayal"—namely, having run for Senate as a Tea Party hard-liner and then co-sponsored the Gang of Eight immigration bill in Congress—has "cost him greatly." Rubio actually bailed so early on the Gang of Eight bill that he didn't show up for the news conference when it passed the Senate. John McCain, a fellow Gang of Eight member, was reportedly disgusted by his public hedging on the bill. A fundraising committee that Rubio set up in Florida to ostensibly help other candidates raised $386,000 but only gave out $4,000. The Times says a similar pattern pertained with a PAC Rubio set up when once he got to the U.S. Senate: "As he had years earlier while angling for House speaker, Rubio used much of the money for himself—giving less than $1 to candidates out of every $20 spent, according to an analysis by National Journal."" http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/03/14/marco_rubio_lazy_underhanded_say_ex_florida_friends.html | ||

You can literally tell when they go on the news and when they are openly lying. There's a long list of lies in the attacks on Trump and the really genuine set-up to paint him as something he's not very often. The people voting for him are the ones seeing through that. If it's been your opinion for 15 years, built up and solidified, then it's preconceived coming into this election season. I don't think you responded to my point that Trump in and of himself, as a candidate, is of very poor quality. You're just saying the media lies about him which to me, shows your view on this election is driven by your preconceived opinion of the media. Then again, you think that rounding up and deporting the illegals, and temporarily banning Muslims, are good ideas, which is just a disgrace. At best those are outlandish viewpoints. I really hope there are not enough white males like you to get Trump elected. On the whole, the media has benefited Trump enormously, by giving him so much airtime. When the media is covering all of your rallies and conferences live, you can't really claim they are unfairly hurting you. The media is the lifeblood of his campaign. | ||
