    So what percentage of Republicans, in your estimation, are racists? Are there racists here on this forum? If so, who are they? I think racists are bad people, if you would provide names, perhaps I coud avoid them.

    I suspect a lot of women will vote against Hillary for running Bill's Bimbo Eruptions Hit Team. Their rage against Cruz and Rubio probably helps them both.

    I believe it was Rep King who started it with the tweet and it went from there.

    Doesn't the coin toss prove the Democrat Party caucus was rigged? Wasn't Sanders the more likely winner? Doesn't that disturb you a bit?

    Crooked GOP politics bothers me. Does crooked Democrat politics bother you?

    Rubio needed a good showing in Iowa as well.

    Rubio will betray whoever or whatever principle he needs to in furtherance of his filthy, grasping ambition.

    Rubio is as asinine as Carson and Cruz, so, I could care less who gets the blame.

    I don't believe America can pull out of this spin. We are doomed.

    Vote VAGINA '16 to put the killing blow on our nearly dead republic.

    And on the lighter side ...

    That would at least be a protest vote. Even more irritating would be a few million votes for Limbaugh or Franklin Graham. Better than sitting home watching political ads. ;-)

    Good article. I think he is unelectable. But they don't pay me 7 figures to tell them who to nominate.

    They should trust their Schmidtists and go for Rubio. Or is Schmidt for Jeb this time? Then trust Murphy! ;-)

    Screw them all. They engineered the mess we're in.

    Schmidt puts a smile on my face. Few bigger tools.

    And Murphy's the 100 million dollar man. Soon he'll be running ads against Jeb!

    They are the cleverest little progs. Murphy may "help" Jeb if he joins a ticket with Hillary.

    Actually, it seems a smart political ploy in tune with everything else happening on our side of this joke. Par for the wayward course, if you will.

    Yes, crooked politics bother me. However, the Republicans have been smearing Clinton for so long and with such fervor, that it is hard to discern if this is really evidence for cheating, or if it is another Republican attempt to paint Clinton as untrustworthy. Here is another account on the coin toss saga, one that doesn't support the right wing allegations:

    http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/02/politics/hillary-clinton-coin-flip-iowa-bernie-sanders/index.html

    Which one is true? I don't know. However, I know that I don't trust any GOP operative is telling anything else but lies about Democratic candidates. It's like the kid that cried wolf too many times...

    If they were as smart as they think they are we would not catch them at it.

    The case against BC is fairly well documented. Conservatives do tend to leave out his accomplishments. History will not be too hard on him. HRC, OTH, is short on accomplishments, and the attacks on BC's female accusers will hurt her.

    It is hard to see a political leader you admire subjected to personal attacks, but they are all very tough cookies. Note that conservatives here are pretty hard on Republicans as well as Democrats. Down on our level we would just like to see problems solved. Politicians have a broader agenda. Look into the coin toss controversy.

    See if HUFPO, MOJO, New Republic or The Nation have discussed it. Would be interesting to see detailed defense for it.

    I happened to like both Keyes and Cain as Conservatives. World History would have been different if Keyes defeated Obama, unfortunately that didn't happen.

    Limbaugh cited and quoted an article that pinned it on Rubio. I only listened for a few minutes seemed credible - but its politics - you never really know.

    True, but IMO Rubio was getting more of the undecided, non evangelical vote than what Cruz was getting, mostly Evangelical with some who were changing their votes from Carson to Cruz.

    That would depend if Rubio would then change his strategy and go center right than the far right that he is doing now. If Clinton is nominated as the DEM, she will be center left on her platform, which appeals to the vast majority of independent voters who do not like the hard right proposals.
