Obama is smarter than Rubio because he went to Ivy league schools instead of UF and Miami? :rolleyes:

:lol:

QuoteAnd how the hell does Jeb Bush have the experience to be President over than his last name.  Sure he was a moderately successful governor - who left office nine years ago.

:lmfao:

Ok you had me chuckling with your sudden posturing as an extremist political radical but now you are taking the joke too far.

previously the OWS groups refused the notion of  leadership as being anti-democratic and against the tenets of their movement.  :frusty:

Yep. So worthless. Militancy combined with no specific demands or goals.

Bernie has specific goals.

Kasich

He is the only actual candidate who is sane, reasonable, moderate, and competent.

Should not be really objectionable to much of anyone.

I wasn't considering him in the running because he doesn't have a chance.

Could come in second in New Hampshire.

When the electorate is ready to pass over Rubio for being too moderate, Kasich doesn't have much of a shot.

But he's at 1% in South Carolina, and 2.5% nationally.

A two term governor of a major state is probably as good as experience for president as we can get. Obviously no guarantee of success.

So far, the reason Kasich has no chance, is because Kasich has no chance.

I've yet to actually here a substantial objection.

No, the reason Kasich has no chance is that Republican primary voters are crazy.

Because the election starts in a few days and polls indicate that almost no one wants to vote for him, and his campaign has no money.

Otherwise, seems like a reasonable candidate. With a reasonable electorate and a chance to get his message out, he should have a good chance. Unfortunately for him, those are two things he seems unlikely to get.

My objection was he left office nine years ago.  He might have been a much more compelling candidate in 2008 (except for being the brother of an unpopular outgoing president).

Kaisich's biggest downside is he has a truly awful sense of humor.

That is a fine objection but that has nothing at all to do with his experience unless you have some evidence that the skills associated with governing have changed in some radical way in the past nine years.
