    I hate saying this, but I think I might vote for Hillary over Trump and Cruz. I would hate religious extremism to take over as much as I would hate socialism to take over, so I can't vote for Cruz. Trump, isn't there something about dancing with the devil you know. That's why I might vote for Hillary. Man this whole thing stinks.
    Nobody wants either. I haven't ruled either one out, yet. Depends on what the rhetoric is like during the general campaign. Whoever treats me like a bigger idiot loses. If Trump keeps up this dumb shit about a wall I'm out. Hillary thinks we're all dumb and should probably be indicted, but Trump takes it to a new level. Under no circumstances will I vote Cruz.

    Like you said-- immigration is for congress to fix-- not for our dumb ass president to promise to build a wall that would do nothing but give white supremacists a boner and ramp up our national debt.

    • Rubio is picking up a few endorsements today. Noticeably absent: Romney.

      What gives? Why is Romney waiting? I assume he will endorse Rubio. Is he really going to fulfill the fantasies of at least 10 of my FB friends and make another run? Or is he waiting to make a splash when he thinks it will help Rubio the most? If he is relying on his political instincts to wait, Rubio may not want his endorsement...

            Somebody ought to send him (Romney) a group of video's with Trump talking about how he thinks Romney totally blew it and if he (Trump) had run he would have run.

              In a major development in the Republican presidential race, 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney will endorse Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for president, The Huffington Post has learned from two Republican sources.

              Details of Romney's endorsement were still being worked out as of Sunday morning. The sources said that the former Massachusetts governor had been eager to provide his backing to Rubio for days but had hesitated, due to his respect for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), who suspended his campaign on Saturday night following his dismal fourth-place showing in the South Carolina primary.

                  Yeah, that was really weird. Why did he emphatically deny the report? I could see a situation where Romney had a calculated plan to endorse him, but it wasn't supposed to happen yet. So Rubio denies it until it's supposed to happen. But if not then, when? Maybe you're right that he's going to lose big in Nevada, so they don't want to waste a big endorsement announcement until later. Still, the clock is ticking for Rubio.

                        One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

                        I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

                        • Cruz has fired his communications director, Rick Tyler, over the misleading video he posted about Marco Rubio and his comments on the Bible. At least Cruz is doing something about the scum that he hired to run his campaign. Maybe now the click-bait emails from the Cruz Crew will stop.
                          "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. 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

                            I think he was facing major backlash over that if he didn't do anything. Rubio has been on a tear calling out all the things Cruz has been saying about him on the campaign trail. At least that's what I heard on NPR on the way home today.

                              That guy should have been fired months ago just because he is creepy. But Cruz is creepy as well, so he's not seeing it at all.

                              For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                              Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                              • Listened to conservative talk radio yesterday and today (a little bit of Limbaugh and Levin yesterday and the local hack this morning on the way to work) and it look like to me the fix is in to deliver a hatchet job to Rubio. Attack after attack after attack on Rubio about how unethical he is and how little experience he has (kinda funny since they all really want Cruz to win and he has been a senator for a shorter period than Rubio) and on and on.
