Rubio couldn’t be any worse than Hillary, that’s for sure.There is a thread.
Kasich doesn’t want to be VP, he’s returned to Columbus and his job as governor.
Rubio couldn’t handle the job of Secretary of State!
Trump hasn’t even won the nomination yet, let alone the election!
I think that Kerry has been an excellent Secretary of State. The man is constantly in meetings, trying to do peace talks (granted, the next day people end the cease fire) but he does it, not wanting political gain. HRC was the opposite.
Well, to be fair, she didn’t “buy” it, the voters did elect her.
It won’t be Kasich. I don’t know who it will be, but I know it won’t be Kasich.
I think your mistaken. Kerry has gone out and don what A secretary of State has to do.
Kerry has been terrific, but then I liked Hillary, too.
How do you know that - by the fact that Kasich made that comment? A lot of people like the idea of Kasich and my guess is the Dems HATE it. For obvious reasons. But I don’t know if it will happen. I wouldn’t trust those kinds of comments though. I said I would never vote for Trump. People change their minds - you would think it was a capital crime these days.
He’s made that comment more than once, and he hasn’t exactly been popular with the Republicans. Of course he could change his mind, but Trump would be better off with someone who isn’t known for finishing fourth in a three man race,
And she was clearly the superior candidate at the time, running against a less-than-superior Rick Lazio.
Yes, she was.
hence the buying of the election. How is it that Hillary was able to sweep into town and get elected to to the US Senate in a state as populous as NY, and there was no real competition?
IIRC, I believe Mayor Rudy Giuliani was going to run against Hillary Clinton, but decided not to, possibly due to his recent prostate cancer.
She was the superior candidate. She got the votes. I don’t see how that equates to “buying” the election.
I said this earlier, but Kasich would be very good for Trump, mainly because he signals where Trump is headed - Moderate-ville and he adds a lot of experience, knowledge. And I do think they would do very well in the Rust Belt. Clinton has a real problem with the so-called Reagan Democrats, especially in those states. Trump and Kasich are very middle of the road. They could reach out to the African American community in those states too, working class.
I’m no political analyst, and I realize Trump really is middle-of-the-road, but I don’t think most of his supporters realize he’s middle-of-the-road. I think if and when they do, he’s going to lose them. They will feel so let down. They expect him to deliver them from everything bad in their lives, even things non-political. If he can get them to accept he’s middle-of-the-road, we will have a close election, but if not, Hillary will win by a huge landslide. The electoral map already greatly favors her.
Superior candidate? She did not have one iota of experience when she ran for senator from New York. She got elected because she was married to Bill Clinton and because New York just loves to go for the celebrity which, by the way ,may be why Trump wins the state in the general election
I agree a little bit, but I think they will stay on board. I believe Trump can keep his folks happy and appease the moderates. (the Trumpsters like him, it’s personal; like the Obama thing) The toughest sell will be the “real” conservatives, the Cruz folks, social and/or economic conservatives. I believe that these people are sick with grief, rage right now, but that the thought of Clinton in the White House will draw them out of their stupor in the next 1-3 months.
Trump can win, but I don’t think he will. He’d have to flip Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Or switch one of those states with Florida. Hillary, on the other hand, has a good chance to flip Arizona and keep the above states, the Obama coalition is hers. I just don’t see Trump penetrating that Blue Wall, but it’s only May. Things can change in six months.
