Papa Bush said he might just vote for Hilary Clinton.
The 41st President of the United States says that every time he sees Donald Trump on the television, he wants to throw the shoe at the TV. Now it's rumored that Papa Bush is going to vote for Hillary Clinton.
George H.W. Bush said privately Republicans are total idiots. He believes that Trump will be extremely reckless. The comments came during a receiving line for board members of the bipartisan Points of Light Foundation when Bush was speaking to Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend, Robert F. Kennedy's daughter and the former Maryland lieutenant governor. There were roughly 40 people in the room, and it's not clear how many people heard him, though multiple sources did.
The Republican former president's embrace of the Democratic nominee represents a dramatic new chapter in the complicated three-decade-old relationship between the two most prominent families in American politics.
Trump's campaign manager KellyAnne Conway was none too happy about this. She said that "age is a factor".
"It is ironic that he would vote for the wife of the man who knocked him out the race," she said on CNN's Erin Burnett. "But look, this was a bruising primary.... so I know there are a lot of hurt feelings."
It's reported that former First Lady Laura Bush could be endorsing Hillary Clinton soon.
Donald Trump dumping on Hillary Clinton for struggling to win the nomination.
The Associated Press reports that Donald Trump has secured enough delegates to clinch the Republican nomination. The controversial billionaire started from a pack of 17 candidates to emerge as the only one standing.
The divisiveness of the primary isn't forgotten. He managed to upset a number of Republicans on his quest to the nomination.
Trump has 1236 delegates and he's only one delegate away. Trump starved off a contested convention in Cleveland.
There was a riot in Albuquerque. Protesters broke through a police barricade after Trump arrived to the city. The city was on lockdown after this event. Conservatives of course, blame President Barack Obama and the Democrats for the violence sparked by Trump and the agitators who support him.
Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz who felt took the most brutal hits have vowed to not to support Trump for now. Marco Rubio will embrace the nominee because he fears if Hillary Clinton wins the White House, the Republican Party is doomed regardless.
As Clinton and Bernie Sanders continue to duke it out for the nomination, Trump has the halo over his head. The nomination between the Democrats have split the party. Some call for the ouster of Debbie Wasserman Schultz after accusations of bias came into the forum.
Republicans have spent all their resources to defeat Trump. It failed. Now the Democrats are going to make the same mistakes that Republicans made.
Clinton already facing a firestorm of criticism after the inspector general for the State Department said that her choice of using a personal server is unauthorized.
Trump is going after her for that as well as throwing accusations of cheating from her husband Bill Clinton. Trump is exciting the Republicans by playing in the sleazy shit.
President Barack Obama today had said that world leaders are concerned that Trump's rhetoric could damage the world relations.
Ted Cruz getting backing from failed presidential candidate Jeb Bush.
The gift and the curse.
Right now, the junk food media is pounding on Ted Cruz. His controversial rhetoric in the wake of the tragedy in Brussel, Belgium has the nation talking. The so-called constitutional conservative wants to law enforcement to do profiling of Muslims living in the United States. So he's willing to take away religious freedom and the right to speech because of an event in another country.
Cruz blasted President Barack Obama for not saying "radical Islam" and attending a diplomatic baseball game with the former nemesis of Cuba. The Texas senator is struggling to win support from the mainstream Republicans. The establishment is slowly wrapping its tentacles around Cruz, the so-called outsider of Washington, DC.
Failed presidential candidates Lindsey Graham and Jeb Bush thrown their support to Cruz. They figure that Cruz could stop the momentum Donald Trump's gotten.
Bush released a presser.
"Today, I am endorsing Ted Cruz for President. Ted is a consistent, principled conservative who has demonstrated the ability to appeal to voters and win primary contests. Washington is broken, and the only way Republicans can hope to win back the White House and put our nation on a better path is to support a nominee who can articulate how conservative policies will help people rise up and reach their full potential.
For the sake of our party and country, we must move to overcome the divisiveness and vulgarity Donald Trump has brought into the political arena, or we will certainly lose our chance to defeat the Democratic nominee and reverse President Obama’s failed policies. To win, Republicans need to make this election about proposing solutions to the many challenges we face, and I believe that we should vote for Ted as he will do just that."
Trump is forward marching toward the nomination and Republicans fear that he could destroy the party. Cruz's endorsement from Graham and Bush could be a noose around his neck. The insurgency might turn against him for these endorsements.
Many conservatives believe that Bush's endorsement of Cruz is a farce. They seriously believe that he's trying to murky the waters for a contested convention. Cause they really don't like Cruz. They really, really don't like Trump.
But do you seriously believe Cruz is probably the only viable candidate left capable of taking on Trump?
Chris Christie bucks Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Ben Carson by endorsing Donald Trump for president.
The failed Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie comes out for Donald Trump. This is a smack to the face of Marco Rubio, the establishment's choice for a nominee. This also is a smack to the face against John Kasich, the Ohio Republican governor.
"I am proud to endorse Donald Trump for president", says Chris Christie.
Christie, the current governor of New Jersey fought Donald Trump while he was running on the stage. Christie at first thought Trump was a joke. He said that Trump's policies aren't tested and we don't want a sideshow as our president.
I guess now he's having second thoughts. Or perhaps this is Christie's retribution against Rubio after he played dirty bull in the New Hampshire primary.
Trump had brought Christie to his press conference in Fort Worth, Texas. The governor said that Trump is the only candidate capable of beating Hillary Clinton.
This is a shocking announcement given that Christie is part of the establishment after he embraced President Barack Obama during his handling of Hurricane Sandy.
Many Republicans blamed Christie for ruining perennial loser Mitt Romney's presidential campaign.
Christie is not well liked in his state. Despite landsliding his Democratic opponent in a state that trends even more Democratic, Christie pulled in Black and Hispanic voters. Christie who once had the halo over his head is now heading back to Trenton with his tail in between his legs.
Christie bowing out was a blow to the establishment. With Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Scott Walker and Rick Perry out the race, there's no candidate outside of John Kasich capable of mending the Republican Party together.
It looks like the Bush legacy ends in South Carolina. John Ellis Bush, the son and brother of two living presidents isn't going to have his moment in the sun.
The former front runner at one point has finally decided the end is now. The former Florida governor suspends his campaign after a disappointing finish in the South Carolina primary.
At age, 63, Bush had entered the race as a presumed favorite for the Republican nomination last summer with a big war chest. He had nearly $130 million and was shattering records in fundraising.
His fall began when Donald Trump got into the race. He was labeled establishment and he wore that with a pride. That proved to be noose around his neck. His famous name spelled disaster. Many Republicans weren't keen to the Bush legacy. Given the political back scratching and political insiders who wanted Bush to be the nominee.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), a failed presidential candidate was one of the major endorsers of the Bush campaign. Bush even brought out the big guns. Former first ladies Barbara and Laura Bush and brother George W. Bush came out in full swing for the embattled politico.
Bush saw his stock tumble in the New Hampshire primary. He thought he could score a huge upset against Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. It turned out to be a disaster. So he was hoping his brother's star power could help score a second or third finish in the South Carolina primary. A strong victory would have given him some life. Nope.
Bush's biggest blow came when South Carolina governor Nikki Haley endorsed nemesis Marco Rubio over him. Bush felt that was disrespectful that she would pick a relatively unaccomplished politician over him.
Trump also hammered Bush on his brother's failures with 9/11 and the two wars. That was sacred ground for Republicans not to blame Bush for failure. Trump kicked that over with no remorse. He said that Bush is "low energy" and that stuck to him like glue.
Trump's real victory is knocking Bush out.
Now the insurgency has truly taken over the Republican Party.
If we elect a man who devotes his rhetoric to the ugliest elements of America, we're going to have a civil war. Certainly Democrats and Republicans better take note. Trump has tapped into the conservative movement. His rhetoric has driven White extremism to unprecedented highs.
I would have rather had Bush or John Kasich as the president if given the choice for a Republican nominee.
With Rick Perry, Scott Walker, Chris Christie and Jeb Bush out the race, there's no possibility of a candidate who can bring the party together. Rubio is their last hope. If the Florida senator fails at winning any more elections, it will upset the balance.
Republicans are now the party of the Angry White Man! And it's unfortunate, they're proud of that!
The South Carolina Republican Primary and the Nevada Caucus. Congratulations to Donald J. Trump and Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton on winning.
Donald Trump took the victory in the most bitterly fought primary. It became a huge defeat for not only Ted Cruz, but Marco Rubio, Ben Carson and Jeb Bush. John Kasich still has some breath of life left in him. Rubio and Cruz will continue to fight to the bitter end.
Donald Trump has won the South Carolina primary, according to projections from the AP, CBS News, NBC News, and Fox News. It's the second victory in a row for the billionaire, who looks to have about 34% of the vote. This in spite of exit polls that showed that some four in 10 voters made up their minds at the last minute and many broke for Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, who are still locked in a battle for second and third place at around 21% of the vote. Jeb Bush is running a distant fourth place, and faces some hard decisions as his fundraising dries up.
Hillary Clinton managed to beat Bernie Sanders in the Nevada caucus. It was considered one of the toughest fights for the former secretary of state. Agitators in the junk food media were hoping that Sanders was going to upset Clinton in the race.
Clinton avoided a "dramatic setback" with the win. And the Hill states it will "calm some nerves" after Sanders nearly beat both expectations and Clinton in the state. Sanders managed to turn a double-digit deficit in earlier polls into a narrow loss. The results of the caucus were called about two hours after it started.
The win gives Clinton some momentum with the South Carolina primary and Super Tuesday coming up. She also now has evidence that 2016 will play out differently than her 2008 contest against Obama and that she is more electable than Sanders. But it wasn't all good news for Clinton. She underperformed among Latino voters and isn't getting "fervent support" from young people. New Republic notes this "enthusiasm gap" could hurt her in the general election.
Already, the dorky robot Marco Rubio slammed President Barack Obama for not attending the funeral of Anthony Scalia. He also went after the president for doing something that he'll never do.
Visit a country that the United States once called an enemy.
As expected, Rubio, Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and the conservative agitators will blast Obama for his announced trip to the island of Cuba. He will take the trip in March to visit the American diplomatic post and interact with Cuban leader Raul Castro.
This will be the first time in 80 years, a sitting U.S. president will visit the Communist nation.
The United States and Cuba have established relations after decades of bitter feuding.
Like a boss. President Barack Obama opened relations with Cuba and managed to get Iran to disarm their nuclear weapons.
A National Security Council official plans to make the announcement tomorrow at the White House briefing.
The trip is planned for March 21-22 before the president flies to Argentina.
The move comes roughly 15 months following the president's pledge with Raul Castro to reopen diplomatic channels following a prisoner exchange and the humanitarian release of U.S. contractor Alan Gross in December 2014.
Since the announcement, the two countries have had a series of diplomatic talks, leading to the reopening of embassies last summer and the recent deal restoring commercial air traffic.
President Barack Obama sniffing a Cuban cigar. First Lady Michelle Obama helped the president kick his smoking habit.
The last and only sitting U.S. president to visit the island nation only 90 miles south of the Florida keys was Calvin Coolidge, in 1928, to address the Sixth Annual International Conference of American States in Havana.
He met with Cuba's President Gerardo Machado, who was in office from 1925 to 1933, until he was forced into exile.
President Jimmy Carter traveled to Cuba in 2002, 20 years after leaving office, at the invitation of President Fidel Castro.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is fighting against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for the second spot.
Rubio scored a huge endorsement today. The governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley came out in favor of him. She also bucked front runners Donald Trump and Cruz for being too divisive.
Haley is a rising star in the Republican Party. She bucked her own party when it came to the Confederate flag. The governor faced pressure from the families of the victims killed at Emanuel AME Church and #BlackLivesMatter.
In July, the state officially removed the flag from the state grounds. The governor won praise from Democrats and Republicans for taking a
Rubio gets the approval of South Carolina's Nikki Haley.
Haley along with Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) believe that Rubio can bring the Republicans together.
Jeb Bush who was hoping for Haley's endorsement was none too happy about it. Bush felt that she made a huge mistake in endorsing Rubio.
Bush has been hammering Rubio, Trump and Cruz for having no experience. He's so far trailing either in fourth place or fifth place.
Dr. Ben Carson and John Kasich are stumbling in the national polls.
Carson's last stand could be in South Carolina. If he doesn't finish strong he may eventually drop out.
Kasich's second place victory in New Hampshire was a bump that all but disappeared. He's signals he'll carry the contest to Super Tuesday, Ohio and Florida.
The country's most nastiest agitator went to social media to blast Haley. The ignorant woman thinks that American-born Nikki Haley is an immigrant.
Hey South Carolina! The woman who ripped down your Confederate symbols & demands no pause in Muslim immigration just endorsed Mario Rubio.
In Nevada, Hillary Clinton mocks Republicans by barking like a dog. It became a meme.
Republicans fear Hillary Clinton more than Bernie Sanders. For the time being, they're focus solely on her. They seriously believe that if they can weaken her with Benghazi, her emails, the competitive race against Sanders, Bill Clinton's confirmed and alleged affairs, they could seize the White House.
Republicans are still infighting over the potential threat of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz becoming the nominee. The Republicans hate Obama more than Clinton and more than Trump or Cruz.
A woman who is principled, Clinton isn't afraid of Sanders or the Republicans and their allies in the conservative media. She knew the moment she would announce her bid for president, they would throw the kitchen sink and garage at her.
But some of the stuff is beginning to stick. Clinton's inability to inspire Democrats could pose a problem.
Conservatives are attacking Hillary Clinton after she made a comment about how Republicans obsess with her.
She would also mock them by barking!
Conservatives are now rolling out more concern trolling and mocking of the bark.
Clinton gave the Republicans a new talking point.
The unexpected moment occurred while Clinton was telling a story about fact-checking Republicans, whom she accused of twisting the truth about the Great Recession. Clinton explained that it reminded her of an old radio ad she liked in Arkansas where a dog would bark every time a candidate said something that wasn’t true.
“The dog was barking on the radio and so people were barking at each other for days after that,” Clinton said. "I want to figure out how we can do that with Republicans.”
Clinton went on to say that she wished every time Republicans said things like, "'Oh, the Great Recession was caused by too much regulation,'" she had a dog to bark at them.
And that's when the dog impression occurred.
"Arh, arh, arh, arh!" she said in a high-pitched tone. "You know?"
She added: "I think we could cut right through a lot of their claims."
The Morning In America by Marco Rubio was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is such a dork.
Desperately trying to win the Republican presidential nomination, he tries to channel his inner Ronald Reagan by making his version of Morning in America. He would have a calm voice narrator cover the political ad blasting President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
In the first scene you see a skyline of a major city with tugboats cruising across the waterway.
The skyline is not an American city. It's actually Vancouver, Canada. To make it even more noticeable, they zoomed in on the flag aside the tugboat showing the Canadian flag.
Okay, the Rubio campaign said that it's not the video, it's the message. He's trying to make the point that Obama's policies hurt America.
Those pseudo-patriots will say that the Canadian city in the video will always be a distraction.
Pathetic. Marco Rubio got stuck with the robotic claim.
Rubio hired the company to produce the video and used stock footage of Vancouver, Washington, DC, San Francisco and New York City for the video.
If it wasn't for Buzzfeed once again taking the time to cover the goofs and gaffes of the political candidates, Rubio would have gotten away with it.
Even the Canadian junk food media mocking Rubio.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hasn't spoken on the video but he probably appreciates Rubio's shout out to his country.
Vancouver is the eighth largest city in Canada. It's located in British Columbia on the west coast. It's population of 605,000. The vicinity covers 2.4 million residents. It's 35 miles from the U.S.-Canadian border.
Vancouver gives tax breaks to American and Canadian filmmakers. Many shows such as The Flash, Arrow and Supergirl (DC comics) are filmed in the city.
Some of American television shows and movies are filmed in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.
Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is bring out his brother.
Mr. 43, himself, George Walker Bush.
The campaign trail is getting a little rockier for the former Florida governor. Bush is hoping to cash in on his brother's popularity in the deeply conservative state.
The Bush family is in South Carolina in a last ditch effort to score a win. They're touting the narrative that "Trump is a reality television star" while the Bush family "kept America safe".
As you know, George W. Bush is relatively unpopular among many in the nation. He left the country in such disarray and to this day never apologized for his actions. Bush gave America, Barack Obama.
After winning two terms, Obama managed to proceed over the most partisan Congress to ever exist.
Republicans forgotten that 9/11 happened under George W. Bush's watch. They forgotten that Bush is responsible for the negligent handling of Hurricane Katrina. But it's the Democrats fault right!
Republicans made it top priority to defeat him as best as they could. They figure that its fiction that Obama's impact helped the economy. They believe that the numbers are fixed when it comes unemployment. The Republicans believe that a united front in creating stability in the Middle East is betraying Israel. Republicans are fearing that Obama picking a potential Supreme Court justice nominee could swing the court away from its conservative slant.
The Republicans are cautious about addressing the obvious. They'll scapegoat Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama as the blame for the nation's woes.
Now that the partisan bar shifted from terrorism to the potential swing of the Supreme Court, Bush is hoping that his brother's legacy of appointing John Roberts and Samuel Alito could bring conservatives back to their senses.
Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) are aiming at Bush. They believe that appointing Roberts as the Chief Justice was a big mistake. Trump aimed at Cruz for backing him. Cruz aimed at Trump for supporting the liberal justices in some issues.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is a failed presidential candidate. He went ahead and endorse Bush for president.
Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) endorsed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) for president.
Here's the video of the Brothers Bush with the most annoying conservative agitator Sean Hannity.
Hannity is one of the biggest ass kissing shrills for Republicans. He constantly bitches about Obama's policies and Bush doing his best to "keep America safe".
If I was a Republican, I would be ashamed. I would be ashamed that these candidates have no clear strategy when it comes to solving problems.
CBS will host this latest train wreck with the Republicans.
I am so done with debates and these clowns. They have no real idea on how to solve problems. All they can pull out their asses is.....platitudes.
Heat is being felt on the stage. CBS News hosts John Dickerson and Major Garrett along with Kimberly Strassel of the Wall Street Journal host this debate in Greenville, South Carolina.
The six candidates running for the Republican nomination already got a jilt in the system. With the death of Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia, Republicans will have no choice but to address what's going to happen with the court.
I am going to be clear that the Republicans are desperate.
What pisses me off, is the platitudes being spoken by the Republican candidates. They offer no real solutions to fixing this country.
Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, John Kasich, and Jeb Bush square off with the gloves off and feelings hurt.
Of course, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, and liberalism will be hammered by the candidates.
If you're watching the debate, get some Advil. Also if you're playing the drinking game, look for the same shit and same name drops.
Pathetic Republican candidate Jim Gilmore bows out.
Never had a chance.
The little engine that couldn't...!
Former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore has officially dropped out the Republican race. Like anyone would have noticed. So it seems now that there's six in the race.
Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Jeb Bush and Ben Carson remain. It's a matter of time before the field narrows down even more.
If you're looking for candidates that scored below the zero, turn to Lindsey Graham, Rick Santorum and Gilmore. I almost had to contain myself from laughing and busting a gut.
Gilmore is a dork just like Santorum but he's just as pathetic. He reminds me of that Zippy comic strip. Ziggy is a colorful and positive character. Gilmore is just an awful piece of shit who should just crawl back under a rock.
Gilmore is a perennial candidate for president and senate. He thought the media would give him a chance.
Nope. He's gotten less media recognition than most of the underlings who ran for the nomination.
Jim Gilmore reminds me of the Tom Wilson's Ziggy comic strip.
Gilmore lost to Andy Martin. Martin is a notorious vexatious lawyer who generates the Obama's a Muslim nonsense. He's a failed perennial candidate who should be sent to the crazy house instead of the iron college. Martin is a notorious birther who is questioning "Canadian" Cruz and Rubio's birth.
Martin is also going after Carson and Trump for being agents for the Israeli government.
Gilmore only got 20 votes in the New Hampshire primary and Martin managed to get 25 votes.
For all those Bernie Sanders supporters who believe he's gotten a blackout, listen to the junk food media giving him his fair share of coverage. Matter of fact, he's gotten more coverage than Ben "Papa Smurf" Carson so far this month.
And in other news, Jim Webb isn't going to run as an independent. Webb failed to win Democratic support. The former Virginia senator was hoping to move the party back to the middle.
He's refuses to endorse Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. I wouldn't be surprised that Jimbo Webbs endorses Beetle Bailey John Kasich or MC Marco Rubio instead of the Democrats.
The Columbus Police and the FBI are assuring that this incident was isolated but do fear the potential for a copycat could occur. Homeland Security secretary Jeh Johnson and U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch have been notified about the situation and are dispatching anti-terror analysis into the city.
What do they knew about the suspect Mohamed Barry who launched an attack at a Mediterranean restaurant?
Was he inspired by the Islamic State?
Anyway, the whole ordeal is getting MAD play on the conservative agitating websites. It's no surprise that the right will launch into the Blame Obama For This Situation Game.
What went down was this guy who was armed with a machete entering the Nazareth Restaurant and Deli.
If you don't say something, you advocate for these incidents to happen!
No one knows what goes on in the mind of the mentally insane.
The man entered the restaurant and engaged conversation with a few employees. At first he purchased a meal and left. About 30 minutes later, he returns to launch into a carnage.
He had stabbed some of the people and they were seriously injured. Some could survive their injuries.
The man tried to flee into towards Easton. He was stopped at the intersection of Morse and Steltzer.
A man storms the restaurant and attacks people with a machete.
When confronted he would ram into a cruiser and a few cars before his car would be damaged so badly it couldn't move. As the officers ordered the man to drop his weapon, he refused the order and they put the slugs in him.
Barry was pronounced dead at the local hospital. He was of Somali decent. He was being tailed by the feds after his friends and family said he acted differently. He was the "NICE GUY" who owned a Mercedes-Benz and worked a decent job. He had minor run-ins with the law. No potential threat until he traveled overseas.
He traveled to the Dubai in the United Arab Emirates for a vacation. But he may have strayed course into a place where he may have been inspired by extremism.
Barry's actions are the signs of potential "lone wolf" attacks that the Islamic State inspire its followers to commit. They want the followers to go after the soft targets. The soft targets could be a restaurant, a nightclub, a gas station, a school or mall. Those are places where a potential terror threat could occur.
Two asses are out the race for president. New Jersey governor Chris Christie ends his bid after disappointing results. Carly Fiorina is also out. She got shafted in the debates and got poor showings in the race.
Well the field is now down to seven. The end of the road for Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina.
The New Jersey governor and former CEO of the Hewitt-Packard software company have dropped out.
The disappointing New Hampshire primary showing for Christie had him reevaluate his chances. The fact that he wasn't going to make the CBS Republican debate was the final nail in his political coffin.
He decided to bow out.
Christie thought knocking Marco Rubio off his perch would have shown in the primary polls.
Nope. It turns out that his handling of the George Washington Bridge, the downgrades of his state, and the "hug" of President Barack Obama has doomed his chances.
Christie who was once floated as a potential threat to Obama didn't run in 2012. So I guess he thought his amazing performance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon would have gave him an opportunity to grow. Nope.
Loosing weight and having taking more moderate positions helped him win reelection easily.
Right now in his state of New Jersey, his job approval is dismal. As with Scott Walker and then governor Bobby Jindal, running for president sunk their popularity among their constituents.
Kasich is already taking a nosedive in Ohio. He's spending more time wasting his breath than governing the state he so brags about. A state that stalled in population. A state where Columbus, the state capital and largest city is growing but the other cities are declining. Columbus is the hub of Ohio's government. Kasich is a getting hammered for being a big government Republican.
He will not say who he'll endorse for president. I know one thing, it's not Donald Trump, Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio.
Carly Fiorina, the only woman running for the Republican nomination is also out. She failed to make the previous debate and was slated to be on the sidelines again. Also her disappointing showings in Iowa and New Hampshire didn't help her one bit.
Fiorina took a big surge in the late summer after she won in the kiddie table debate. But the bubble burst on her when she was called out on her accusations of Planned Parenthood decapitating premature babies alive. She stood firm saying that she saw the video despite it not even existing.
Matter of fact, Fiorina says she doesn't play the victim. But when she was banned from the debates on ABC and CBS, she said that the "liberal media" is scared of her because she's a woman. They're shielding Hillary Clinton.
All these things along with her falling polls sealed her fate.
Fiorina went to social media to announce her exit.
This campaign was always about citizenship-taking back our country from a political clss that only serves the big, the powerful, and the well connected. Election after election, the same empty promises are made and the same poll-tested stump speeches are given, but nothing changes. I've said throughout this campaign hat I will not sit down and be quiet. I'm not going to start now. While I suspend my candidacy today, I will continue to travel this country and fight for those Americans who refuse to settle for the way things are and a status quo that no longer works for them.
Our Republican Party must fight alongside these Americans as well. We must end crony capitalism by fighting the policies that allow it to flourish. We must fix our festering problems by holding ou bloated inept government bureaucracy accountable. Republicans must stand for conservative principles that lift people up and recognized all Americans have the right to fulfill their God-given potential.
To young girls and women across the country, I say: do not let others define you. Do not listen to anyone who says you have to vote a certain way or for a certain candidate because you're a woman. That is not feminism. Feminism doesn't shut down conversations or threaten women. It is not about ideology. It is not a weapon to wield against your political opponent. A feminist is a woman who lives the life she chooses and users all her God-given gifts. And always remember that a leader is not born, but made. Choose leadership.
As I have said to the many wonderful Americans I have met throughout this campaign, a leader is a servant whose highest calling is to unlock potential in others. I will continue to serve in order to restore citizen government to this great nation so that together we may fulfill our potential.
She was hoping to continue on but the news of firing staffers and running out of the money got her thinking that it's not possible to continue on with lack of appeal.
She hasn't endorsed any candidate yet. I doubt she'll endorse Trump for president. After all, he said that her face looks like a horse.
Kasich gets a second chance. He comes in second in the New Hampshire primary.
If being in second place is a "win", then John Kasich got it. The Ohio Republican governor who spent a majority of his time in New Hampshire paid off. I mean coming in second is "huge" for the inept governor.
The New Hampshire primaries were a bitter one for the establishment candidates. Marco Rubio was leading in the polls. He took a nosedive when Chris Christie back slapped him. Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush on the other hand can proudly say that taking third place keeps them still viable in this race.
Kasich on his part said that if he failed at winning this state, he would exit the race.
It was a big disappointing for Chris Christie and Jeb Bush. The New Jersey governor and former Florida governor was jockeying for the second place.
Donald Trump easily won the state. This will be the controversial business/media mogul's first win.
So that means that if Ted Cruz won Iowa, Donald Trump won New Hampshire, who will win South Carolina?
On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders beat down Hillary Clinton in the primaries. Clinton won the state in 2008. This time around she didn't capture a victory here.
What does that mean for the Democrats if she continues to struggle throughout the primaries?
The winner's circle. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Donald Trump won the New Hampshire primary
Congratulations to Donald J. Trump and Bernard Sanders They have sealed the deal.
The Associated Press projects that Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders the winners of the New Hampshire primary. Trump beat out eight Republicans and Sanders beat out Clinton.
The exit polls have said that the controversial business mogul won the Republican primary. The Democrats have given the second term senator from neighboring Vermont a chance to become a real viable challenger to Clinton.
Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, and Chris Christie placed a lot of time in this race.
The second place contender in the Republican race is determined on who's capable of being anti-Trump, anti-Rubio and anti-Cruz. It appears the imbecile governor from Ohio could eek out a second place finish.
The Cruz bump appears to have shrunk for now. I mean South Carolina will be ground for Cruz, Rubio and Bush.
It appears to be the end of the road for Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson, Jim Gilmore. Maybe the establishment may lose Christie.
We'll find out soon enough who may eventually exit the race in the Republican field. Obviously the low scoring candidates will decide on their fate.
Now we'll have another debate in Milwaukee for the Democrats and a debate for Republicans in Columbia, SC.
This nightmare will continue until we'll eventually have a nominee.
I'll be working tonight so I won't bore you with the details of my social life. But while I am gone, I will be listening to the Republican debate on ABC.
ABC will host Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, John Kasich, Jeb Bush and Ben Carson for tonight's debate. Carly Fiorina and Jim Gilmore were cock blocked from the stage.
Fiorina stated that she may not support the nominee if it ain't her. Trump said the same.
In New Hampshire, Trump is leading but since his defeat in Iowa, he's struggling to hold on to the lead he's maintained for over seven months.
Trump's decision to skip a New Hampshire townhall because of the snow, gave Republicans an opportunity to attack him for being unprepared. He went to speak in South Carolina.
Cruz didn't get a bump after the Iowa Caucus. He's and Kasich are tied for third. Cruz is being criticized by Trump, Carson and Rubio for "stealing" the election. Cruz is touting endorsements from Chuck Norris, Glenn Beck and Ted Nugent.
Rubio appears to be the establishment's choice for a candidate. He's gained an endorsement from failed presidential candidate Bobby Jindal. Rubio also will be the focus of the night. He will be hit for being inept as a senator. Rubio will likely word vomit the ineptness of Barack Obama back when he was a senator, He'll go after Hillary Clinton's days as a senator. He will mention the lack of accomplishments Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders have as a fellow senators.
Kaisch spent more time in New Hampshire more than in my state he's governor of. Kasich is throwing his chips all in this state and promises that if he doesn't win, he's out. Kasich who touts Ohio more than the country, is hoping to seethe through the mess. Kasich is touting some washed up celebrities. Arnold Schwarzenegger, actor and former governor of California endorsed him yesterday. Former talk show/radio host Montell Williams, who once endorsed Barack Obama for president came out for him. Actor Tim Allen is actively helping Kasich gain support.
Last stand for Bush. He brought his mom out.
Jeb Bush struggled the most. He's spent the most money, the most time and still can't get the mojo. It's amazing that back in 2015, Bush was fundraising and making major moves to get the establishment vote. Now he's struggling against a former friend who he once praised as a shining star in the party. Bush will target Rubio for being corrupt. Bush will also bring the legacy in play. He brought out his mother, former first lady Barbara Bush and his brother, former president George W. Bush to campaign for him.
Chris Christie will also make moves against the candidates as well. He'll likely be the first to bring up Hillary Clinton or President Barack Obama. He's already got his word vomit ready. He'll target Rubio and Cruz for being worthless politicos. He will say Kaisch's Ohio isn't rosy as he says it. He'll mock Trump and Carson for "jumping the shark" and Bush for being his brother's failures. Most of the candidates will hit Christie for ruining perennial loser Mitt Romney. The bear hug with Obama will come up again.
After you watch the debate, ask yourself, why is this still going on?
There's no clear choice in nominee. If Trump or Cruz wins, they'll split the party. If Rubio wins, they could mend the fence but will force him further to the right. If they pick Bush, Kasich or Christie, they'll play it safe but face a mutiny of conservative support. If Carson or Fiorina wins, they'll be a second and a first.
So far, the Republican Party has the most diverse candidates running. Despite them all being a bunch of shit for brains, the party has two men of Hispanic origin, one Black man, one woman, an actor/media mogul, a son and brother of two former presidents and are excited about their candidates.
The Democrats aren't so inspired by their candidates. One is perennial. One is too unknown to the public.
Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton duke it out once again.
The Democratic debate is on MSNBC and the two candidates are taking off the gloves and I can say that it's pretty damn hostile. What turned out to be a friendly disagreement now becomes a battle royale.
Rachel Maddow and Chuck Todd get to instigate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton go after each other.
In the New Hampshire polls, Sanders is leading the polls. In the beginning Hillary Clinton was riding high in the polls. Sanders managed to either tie or run extremely competitive with her in the key states.
Iowa Caucus ended up with Clinton barely beating Sanders.
While the Republicans are having their civil war between Donald Trump, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), the Democrats are fighting it out.
This comes right after the CNN Townhall that was on yesterday. I didn't watch it.
Obviously the Democrats have cautious thoughts about their candidates. The field isn't strong.
It's so divided. The older generation and working class Democrats support Hillary Clinton. The young, White liberals and college educated support Sanders. The Black, Hispanic and LGBT vote is divided over who to choose.
Rick Santorum, the most lamest candidate besides Martin O'Malley is reportedly bowing out tonight.
The former Pennsylvania senator and former 2012 Iowa Caucus "winner" couldn't squeeze enough people into that truck he drove across the 99 counties of the state.
Rick Santorum is by far the only candidate outside of Ted Cruz to champion on pro-life, anti-gay, and anti-immigrant stances.
Santorum like Mike Huckabee were perennial candidates who seriously believed they could win. If they couldn't beat the 2008 and 2012 nominees, they should have not ran in the first place.
And this candidate self destructs.
He is expected to make the announcement Wednesday night and will endorse a candidate.
Santorum won the 2012 Iowa caucuses and ended that race with the second-most number of delegates to eventually GOP nominee the perennial loser himself, Mitt Romney. But he was unable to capture any momentum this year, despite extensive barnstorming efforts in Iowa.
He is the third Republican presidential candidate to drop out after Monday's caucuses. Mike Huckabee ended his campaign that night, and Rand Paul suspended his campaign Wednesday morning.
Remember some time ago, Santorum (or I refer to as Son of Boredom) once said that he doesn't want to make Black lives better. He also said that President Barack a "government nig-guh". He caught himself before he said NIGGER.
