Jeb Bush or Donald Trump?

After yesterday:

[shock]

I don't see what tragedy you were referring to in your post. Perhaps this one? Actually, it's not a tragedy, but someone did call it an insult:

Actually the theater shooting.

[shock]

And this tells the story much better. Raid the road fund to pay for the state police.

Pretty bad when you won the last gubernatorial election in a landslide, but now can't beat Hillary Clinton even in your own home state and in the deep south.

I don't see what you are referring to with the Hillary comment. Did he lose an election to her? Or are you misreading polls and comparing them directly?

Well, if you would have read the article I linked to, you might have clicked on this:

By the way, noticing that you were a PoliSci major explains your apparent blind spot for finance. You seem to prefer candidates who eschew fiscal responsiblity and prefer candidates who like to employ disruptive political models.

Sam Brownback (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/17/us...cuts.html?_r=0), 'not the man we want, but the man we NEED'.
Ted Cruz (http://money.cnn.com/2013/10/16/news...act/index.html) the guy who shut down the government singlehandedly (and accomplished nothing in the process) and your first candidate.
Bobby Jindal (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/07/us...et-vortex.html). Took a $1 billion dollar surplus and turned it into a $1.6 billion dollar deficit. The candidate you're currently supporting.

I bet if you could travel in a time machine back to 1932, you'd vote for Herbert Hoover, too.

I am still hoping we have a breakthrough candidate on the republican side, but I'm going to look for someone who can execute a fiscal plan, not someone who starts to execute a fiscal plan and then watches it blow up in their faces.

Have a nice weekend! ;)

I skimmed through the articles looking for the reference. Thank you for posting it directly. As far as that goes, they polled a tiny number of likely cherry picked voters. It was done to force an outcome. It means nothing. I bet I could poll 1,500 on college basketball in Kansas and find ESU, Pittsburg, or Washburn as the favored basketball schools, but it doesn't mean the majority doesn't like something else entirely, like say WSU or KSU or KU. Polls largely reflect the people who conduct them and their opinion, kind of like reporters and news articles. See Will Kunkle.

I am not arguing the turnaround in Louisiana. Although I like Bobby Jindal, I favor a different candidate entirely, one I have only mentioned a couple times.

I actually have a degree in Political Science, have written many many papers

Holy crap. I don't even mean this to be mean, but that is one of the saddest statements I've ever seen in my life. You're seriously the kind of guy that tries to jump into a discussion about politics waving around a Political Science degree as a trump card? I don't even know how to respond to that without being rude.

Also, you might want to look into the definition of "conspiracy." Hint: It involves more than one person. I laugh at conspiracy theorists because they always rely on a belief that many, many people (usually the government) can work together effectively and secretly to accomplish a goal. One person having an ulterior motive is not a conspiracy theory. Everyone has a motivation behind their actions.

Case in point, Romney had Obama on the ropes about Benghazi during the last debate. The reason he didn't press it (which would have won him the debate and almost certainly the presidency) was because Obamas camp had some very personal, nasty information that would have been extremely embarrassing if it made it to NBC.

Sure. And that was what?

You sure are an interesting person. I never was waving it around as a "trump card" (I see what you did there:welcoming:), I merely was using it as a quick validation. I find it humorous that it got such a rise out of you.

[shock]

The guy I spoke with was from Romneys camp, so.... Would be kinda stupid to expect that info posted in a public forum, no? Anyways, it was Mitt the Tits decision not to pursue it.

Maybe Romney was funding the "big oil" hit squads?

You left out 5, in order to give us a clue as to where the Illuminati have their annual meeting?

That's not getting a rise out of someone. That made me honestly depressed for you. I feel bad about what that statement says about you.

"I've worked in politics for X number of years" is a validation. "I have a political science degree and I wrote papers" is what a 23 year old uses right before "man" when he's fixing the world's problems over a bowl of pot after a rough night's work at Starbucks.

It would be kind of stupid to bring up info on a public forum and then say you can't talk about in a public forum, no?
