The GOOD news:

rubio beating cruz in nevada!!!

[immoderate]

1. HE'S NUMBER TWO!!

OTOH, who would Democrats most want to run against?

2. Rubio, in my opinion.

4. Think so? I think he's an idiot, but he has a facade that comes across as rational.

OTOH, Cruz, to my mind, always sounds certifiably nuts.

Rubio seems to achieve heights that were unattainable to Perry, Jindal, even Bush.

5. I think we can beat any of them. And I don't think Rubio would be

harder to beat.

The reason I would prefer him to be the gopper loser is that he is less hate filled. There is damage done by trump and Cruz having a national platform to spew their hate speech at the highest level. The sooner they are retired to history's waste bin the better.

6. Good point!

3. Well, as cruz isn't eligible to serve,

may as well get rubio now, but dems will likely run against trump (unless he realizes he won't be able to handle the job of POTUS, or really doesn't want to do all that work, and he steps aside. )
