    I would wager Rubio will win the nomination. He is hardly establishment as Christie has pointed out, he didn't do much while in the senate. People want young and fresh.

    No,I think Trump's popularity is showing people want America First. Ross Perot redux maybe, except in a bigger way.

    Or else they like having a celebrity come to town and give a free spectacle they can attend.

    I know where you're coming from, I'm personally deriving much entertainment from his campaign and the consternation he's caused. I sincerely wish it will cause 'the establishment' to do some soul searching (if there's even a soul there to search) as to why so many have flocked to him. FTR, Perot as a candidate had much substance, he had real ideas and solutions. Trump has a whole lot of boisterous rhetoric with little or no substance. IMO, his biggest actual asset would be that he's likely to surround himself with top notch people if he were to become POTUS. If the Republicans don't succeed in defeating him in the primary I believe the Democrats will in the general election by simply attacking his character. So far it seems much of the criticisms are directed at Trump supporters and not on Trump, which I don't fully understand.

    If I had to vote for one of the GOP candidates at this moment it would probably be Kasich, and my opinion comes simply from liking what I've seen of his demeanor and not from any research. Anyway, these things are usually decided by the time it rolls around to KY.

    But yea, Trump is entertaining me.

    [add]

    Change that to Cruz. Did some brief research on Kasich.

    I don't understand your post. You are obviously not a fan of Rubio. You apparently agree with Christie that Rubio didn't do much in the Senate. Do you think that Rubio's supporters agree? Yes, many Americans like a young and fresh-faced candidate.

    Rubio will lose out to Trump. It's not even a contest.

    Lol. Brother, nobody does too much in the senate. It's gridlocked. I really don't have a favorite right now. I'm just trying to get a good read on who the Lord is raising up. I wouldn't put it past Him to choose Rubio seeing how He likes to raise up those who the "wise and learned" nay say.

    Nooooooooooooo, all the polling shows that he could lose Colorado and Minnesota to Rubio and Texas to Cruz. So, as it currently stands, it looks more like a 8-of-out-11 scenario or higher for Trump and that is faltering for all the other candidates

    So that's the extent of your analysis? Looking at the polls?
