He's anti-government and he's a flaming theocrat.

As venomous a combination as can be had. There are a lot of people out there who like that blend and will turn off their brains, such as they are, to vote for it.

Thought Trump would be faded by now but he still claims top spot in GOP polling. Hope we're not looking at a Trump-Cliven Bundy ticket coming out of the Pukes' convention in Cleveland.

Won't count Rubio out but he continues to come off as an earnest-but-clueless high schooler trying to impress the grown-ups.

I think Cruz is the emergent psycho who'll eventually claim the nomination.

If he is, then I hope he develops a fatal disease and drops in the middle of the first debate with our candidate.

But I think he's not, I think he's selling HATE and FEAR as political products.

as political products -- agree. I wish he were not so good at it. Or rather, I wish there were not so many buyers.

Noticing over this weekend he referred to those attending his rally as his "fans." Some of those "fans" are the ones who did the roughing up. And Trump, ever watchful of what's good for business, told the press the guy "probably deserved it."

Yuck.

Kasich or Rubio in the VP slot. Trump runs 3rd party or simply snipes from the sidelines. Carson continues to campaign for a few weeks after the convention until someone finally manages to explain to him how the process works.

I would probably be rubio, but I really think that it will either be romney or possibly even someone who has not even been mentioned so far... Best guess is romney
