    I could see it end up being Rubio vs Sanders. Cruz/Trump/Hillary are pure diarrhea.

    Even as hard left the democrats have gone and Clinton being a weak candidate I see no chance of a socialist like Sanders beating her out. Sanders will win in New Hampshire but after that and the race goes South I don't see Sanders winning too many states.

    I'm supporting Cruz but not sure if he can win it. I think it will either be Trump or Rubio versus Clinton (unless Clinton is indicted).

    I think it is comical how recently Clinton has wrapped herself around Obama promising to be Obama's third time. Now why would Hillary do this with a president who it not popular? Hmmm maybe hoping it will help her not get indicted from the Obama Justice Dept??? That is OBF's guess.

            Clinton is such a weak candidate I don't see anyone on the republican side losing to her. I think that is the reason the republicans had everyone coming out of the woodwork to run for president this time.

              Chicago Stock Exchange Says It's Being Sold to Chinese-Led Group

                The original story didn't say Carson was dropping out on CNN, but CNN clarified anyway he's just getting a change of clothes and isn't dropping out.

                After CNN reiterated that going to Florida doesn't mean he's dropping out, the Cruz campaign called all 1500 Iowa precinct Cruz captains (around 7:30, 1/2 hr before voting time) and told them to get Carson supporters because he's dropping out.

                At the minimum it was sloppy reporting from CNN and although they never said Carson was leaving the race they left the impression he was saying that he was not going to New Hampshire or South Carolina but Florida. I put more blame on this on the Cruz campaign who took the story and ran with it without bothering to check with Carson to confirm it but CNN is not without fault here either.

                Carson showed a lot of character in how he handled this by accepting the apology from Cruz. Carson said he would like to see some accountability from the Cruz campaign which I agree with. Too many times we see this out of Washington where politicians say they take full responsibility on issues but there are never consequences. I do think Cruz should fire some people on his campaign staff who were not responsible in how they handled this. I don't for a second think Cruz himself had anything to do with it though.

                CNN never said he was leaving the race, and then they explicitly said he's not leaving the race just before 7PM.

                Cruz's people made the phone calls at 7:30, after everything was 100% clarified and it was 100% clear he wasn't leaving the race.

                Cruz, his campaign manager, and everybody else was fully aware of what they were doing - they did it anyway. They tried to use CNN and even Trump as a scape goat before they apologized. Even Karl Rove explained how fucked up it was and he's the biggest anti-Trump man there is (aside from Glen Beck).

                At the debate tomorrow Cruz is going to get bent over by Trump and it'll end with Cruz endorsing the establishment favorite Rubio (because Cruz is the establishment)

                After super Tuesday everybody will have dropped out and endorsed Rubio - with the exception of maybe Carson/Huckabee who may endorse Trump.

                      Normally I would have thought Carson might throw his support for Cruz but after Iowa it is doubtful but who knows? Stranger things have happened.

Don't count on Trump winning any debates over Cruz as Cruz is the best debater in the bunch. After super tuesday Cruz will still be in the race. it will be a three man race to the finish.

                          I got a 6 pack that says Cruz doesn't win more than 1 of the super tuesday states - I'd say 0, but Texas could be pretty close.

                            I wouldn't donate to or bet on politics but we'll see soon enough. Cruz is the most conservative candidate in the field and these are the voters who actually come out and vote in the primaries. Cruz will do better than you are predicting. What will hurt Cruz is that he really needed to pick up the Carson voters but that probably won't happen now but he will still have plenty of support from the conservative base.

                              I'm pretty confident Cruz will do better than you are predicting so let's do something beneficial here. $20 to St. Judes hospital on this? I have never heard anything negative about this organization other than they do a great work.

                                I'm pretty confident Cruz will do better than you are predicting so let's do something beneficial here. $20 to St. Judes hospital on this? I have never heard anything negative about this organization other than they do a great work.

                                Yea that's fine. I'll even lump in NH with the super Tuesday states. I think recent polling in NH has Rubio ahead of Cruz.

                                    I have no clue yet who I'm going to vote for. Just requested an absentee ballot for the March Primary.

                                        Maybe, sometimes.

                                        Nothing works like normal when you have Trump. Normally you'd expect the home territory to benefit people - like Florida for Rubio/Bush, or Ohio for Kasich, but you have Trump who has defied polling everywhere so who knows.

                                          I like the fact that he's had Carson on a ticket with nearly every other candidate at some point

                                          He's doing whatever mental gymnastics he can to keep Carson in there
