According to MSNBC..

Carson leads Trump in Iowa..

Trumps an Idiot, but I love how he is destroying the Oligarch’s Puppets in the Race.
Walker, Bush, Rubio... These are the guys which frighten me.. What a Blessing that Walker’s Gone permanently.

But Carson, This guy is fucking crazier than all of them..and is very appealing at this point to all segments of the right wing ..

In the end.. Rubio might be the guy to keep an eye on..

fear most is Kalish. He is smart and cleaver. Folks think he is a moderate but he is far from it.

Don't have any particular reason, just think he'll be the last one standing.

more votes than any other.

He used his government credit card for 200 grand of his personal expenses. His business partner and best buddie Rep. Riviera is a thug - look him up.

Regardless he might get the nom because he can project a better image than the rest but he's a loser. Funny too he's short, five and a half feet at best.

His lack of knowledge and ability to compete with an experienced high profile presidential candidate will kill him in a general election. I'm sitting here laughing at what a spectacle it would be to watch a debate between him and Hillary!

Rubio's got the bland political good looks and style down pretty good. His substance, however, is emptier than a hermit's address book. But after months of Trump pushing deportalooza on the public, they'll need someone to pump up the "kindler, gentler GOP" and nominating a Hispanic would do just the trick.

The scum who freezes my guts is Kasich. He looks so normal, sounds so easy going. Has a sense of humor. Makes you feel all comfy and then he cuts your guts out.

Mr. Reasonable on the surface.
