Democrats see Rubio and Kasich as 2016 threats

“As other candidates leave the dance floor and disappoint supporters, they are the next most attractive dance partners”.

Meantime, conventional candidates such as Florida’s Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush are battling to stand out if the frontrunners stumble – an expectation many still cling to. What they don’t realize is that their assassination effort is the very type of behavior that is fueling Carson’s (and Trump’s) campaign.

Donald Trump remains at the top of most polls, defying predictions he would fade.

“Rubio speaks well and he could generate appeal among Latino voters”, said Chris Wicker, vice chairman of the Nevada Democratic Party, referring to Rubio’s background as a Cuban-American raised by working-class parents.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich: 45. The twist suggested by Budowsky is that they will pair Mitt with Marco Rubio.

Carson claimed that “every time we raise the minimum wage, the number of jobless people increases” — a notion many economists reject — and then launched into a vague spiel about how government should “allow people to ascend the ladder of opportunity” rather than “give them everything and keep them dependent.” It will be news to low-wage workers that they are so coddled. By the time Rubio-or any other candidate-takes center stage against the Democratic opponent, he or she will look like the Walking Dead of US politics. His problem is that Republican voters understand that the Democratic Party has no interest in working with us and that even if it did, our worldviews are so different that compromise might retard our national demise but not prevent it.

They are the ultimate party insiders.

Nationally, The Associated Press posed that question to all 712 superdelegates to next year’s Democratic National Convention. “I won’t tell you what Bush is [in the polls], but it’s not too good”. “I don’t think the Republican party as a brand, or our long-term future, can be successful given what I’m watching”, Cardenas said in an interview.

In the AP survey, many Democrats were dismissive of Trump.

A free-floating sense of danger has led many Republican voters, and their candidates, to strongly support gun ownership as a means of self-protection.

“Like everybody else in America”, Georgia Democrat Dan Halpern said, he’s “just wondering when the wind is going to come out from under the sails of both Carson and Trump”.

“There is a reason people are fleeing high-tax, high-regulation states all over the country and coming to states like Florida and Texas, because jobs and opportunity and growth and the future (are) in states like Florida and Texas”, Cruz said.

“They’re doing high-fives in the Clinton campaign right now when they hear this”, Bush said. “If we don’t right it, we’re in trouble”, Sen. “At least one-third of Republican primary voters said they would not consider voting for him”. “Let me tell you something, I was tougher when it wasn’t politically popular”, he said, before citing his proposals to build a Trump Wall at the border, end birthright citizenship, and implement a mass deportation program akin to the controversial one carried out during the Eisenhower administration. This will be the last presidential election cycle in which the GOP, in its current form, has even a shot at winning the White House. Outlandish as ever, he has begun assembling a ground campaign in Iowa, New Hampshire and SC. Florida is also one of the key swing states, and the recount of the state’s votes decided the 2000 election in favour of Republican George W. Bush. More than two months before the first primaries and caucuses, Clinton has public endorsements from 359 superdelegates, while Vermont Sen.

“We should declare war and harness all of the power the USA can bring to bear, both diplomatic and military, of course, to be able to take out ISIS”, the former Florida governor said on NBC’s “Meet the Press”.
