Liar Rubio now frontrunner in my opinion

i would rather have christie as the rep nominee. rubio is much more dangerous and he is as slick of a liar as there is in existence. i will be sorry if christie isnt the rep nominee, then all the scandals could come out.

even though they have little to no idea what "libertarian" means... not to mention the fact that rand paul isn't an actual libertarian...

rubio's a joke who talks in an endlessly whiny and unpresidential manner. no matter how much the gop tries to prop him up as some sorta representative for the hispanic population, he'll always be relegated to shit florida politics (which really sucks for you, florida).

he'll never make it on the national stage.

So Ted, Rubio and Rand are out of the running and it also has to be an establishment guy so Santorum, Palin and Huchabee are out. That leave Jeb Bush and Scott Walker with any realistic chance of winning the nomination.

he can lie to a camera with an honest face. when will we start to focus on him and not the easily beatable candidates?

The argument against him is that their racist base will stay home.

I don't think so. He knows the act.

He plays the role of right-leaning moderate 'merican just well enough to get them off their couches.
