    Brian Sandoval in 2020!
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

    Dig your own grave, and save!

      What about Ben Carson?

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

              The New York Times is really digging into Marco Rubio's past and unearthing some very unsettling nuggets. First, we found out that Rubio has compiled four different speeding tickets in Florida over the past 15-20 years.

              Now, we find out that Rubio had difficulty in his 20s and 30s paying off his mortgage and law school loans. Worse, once he received a book advance, he bought a "luxury boat." http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/10/us...s&emc=rss&_r=1

              Here is a photo of the extravagant vessel:

              The New York Times has got this story all wrong. That isn't a luxury vessel, that's a boat that's used to dump body parts in the ocean off the Miami coastline. And...sometimes it's used to fish.
              Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                        This could be a very positive development. Remember all that fuss about who should be able to participate in the debates? Now we have an easy answer: Trump and below are out.

                          Are you kidding? This isn't any way to elect a president to run our country, but including Trump would be must see TV.

                          I can already see the moderator asking him a tough question or cutting him off when he's out of time, and Trump screaming "Your Fired!" into the monitor.

                            I am hearing Trump's entry as turning the GOP primary into a circus. My first inclination is to agree. There is some praise of him as being a man who is not afraid to say what he thinks. I don't know if that without some filter is a positive. What is the positive in making an ass of oneself.

                            His negatives amongst republicans is 57%. I can't see how his entry is a positive for the GOP. I just hope it isn't a big negative.

                              We shall see how it works out but the Primary is between Rubio, Bush and Walker. The doctor and Paul are interesting sideshows. The rest are inconsequential. Kasich will move into the top tier if/when he joins.

                                Krauthammer is saying the same thing, but he thinks Rubio is the leader of the bunch. Kasich is the one dark horse. He's probably the best politician of the bunch and he would be a great general election candidate. But he has a record that will make it difficult for him to get out of the primaries.
