I dislike all 3, but Hillary is the worst. Given the choices I'd have to go with Carson.

I sincerely hope you're not serious. Hillary actually has experience and knowledge, Carson lacks both.

I wish she would just go away so we can possibly get some decent democrat candidates to chose from. I have not found a republican candidate I can get behind yet. I chose Trump only because I think he might be able to put together the people to financially put this country solidly back on its feet. That is his specialty. Making the tough decisions to make business financially sound again. As far as bankruptcy goes this country is already at the door. Once the interest on your debt is one of your largest bills the gig is up. Too be honest if it came down to these three I probably wouldn't waste my time voting. It is like choosing between Hitler and Stalin why bother.

I agree completely regarding Trump.

With Fiorina on the ticket he may just be able to beat Hillary though. It would be very close however -- another close election.

Funny when Trump is going to need to ultimately kiss up to Carly about the face comment.
 
I couldn't vote for Hillary without holding my nose, but given only these three options...

The other two don't belong anywhere near the White House.

Hillary is the definition of corrupt, evil, conniving, power hungry politician. Plus I don't think America needs 4-8 more years of Democrats in the executive branch. If anything I'd vote against her on character alone. I'm not saying I like Carson, but if the option is basically to shoot myself in the head or in the foot I'll go with in the foot.

I would disagree with that ;) But then again Democrats (and Republicans) differ. I don't predict she'd be the kind of Democrat the country would do well under.
 
I could never vote for Hillary, for the same reasons that I could never vote for a Bush. I don't feel that "Mr Rodgers," Carson, has the fire in his belly to deal with the usual suspects; the hate-America media. He just doesn't have the proper inclination to defend himself. I'd go with Trump all the way. In the last debate, he forced cnbc to have a 2 hour debate. Well that fits right into his narrative about being a good negotiater. Plus he is a successful businessman. Sure, he inherited millions, but only a truly savvy, intelligent person could turn that into billions.

Hillary has no record of success. Trump does.
 
The only one who would be any kind of a decent President out of those three is Trump.

But...the thing is, it'll never come to a choice between those three. It'll be either Hillary vs Trump or Hillary vs Carson. In the first case, I'll vote for Trump, in the second case, I won't vote.

I'd simply say you're being played by the media who want the least capable candidate on the Republican side to go up against Hillary Clinton, their candidate. It's why they're constantly pumping Trump who hasn't a chance against Clinton in the general election and why they are trying to take down Carson now, although he's doing a pretty good job of taking himself down, and why they are pushing the "Bush is dead" mantra in the hope that they can make that happen.

Bush is the only candidate on the Republican side who has consistently, from the beginning, polled ahead of Clinton in head to head races, regardless of where his poll numbers are in the primaries. Trump has pretty much never polled ahead of Clinton. Carson lately, and Rubio more recently, have started to poll well against Clinton, which is why the media have gone after them with personal attacks while never attacking Trump.

People who vote in the primaries and in elections and serious Republicans will come to their senses before it's all done.

There are quite a few great candidates with long records of success. But the voting public is too focused on dynasties and social issues along with hurt feelings over somethin one of them said. I dont care what they said or who was butt hurt about it. I care what there results have been as leaders.

Hillary.
She is the closest to my views.

However, I do believe that Trump only switched to Republican due to a black man being in office and that he would gradually swing Left and be less scary if he were elected.
Trump is a crap person but would be the best choice of the Republicans as President.

Carson is a complete joke and a closet lunatic.

Do you just make things up as you go or what? What evidence do you have to support any of your rhetoric? What makes carson a lunatic?

I don't think he will. He is not the puppet he is the puppet master. If he loses he still has more than enough money to buy into which ever party wins.
That is the problem today. Our Fore Fathers never imagined a rich enough 1% to own both parties therefore making the elective process an illusion of choice. Since both parties control the House, the President, and SCOTUS they have complete control over our government right down to the local level. As long as they keep us split roughly 50/50 they can control us as easy as a child can controls a seesaw when balanced. There only fear is if we were to unite and take back control of our government. Unfortunately we are not that smart.

Here is the big question: Will voters rally around Trump if he gets the GOP nomination ??
Click to expand...

I don't think so. I think if Hillary can manage to stay out of prison she will win. The country will crash and burn and then hopefully we will see some real change.
 
I would never vote for Hilary.... If Hilary is the Candidate .. my vote IS an vote against Hilary rather than a vote for anyone else..
 
I repeat, I would never in my life vote for Pants Suit Hillary. Now if somehow, Bernie Sanders managed to snag the nomination, and the GOP nominated a rino, I'd have alot of thinking to do.

Trump has no record of success that Hillary doesn't have. Trump started out with money and made and lost several fortunes before he got to this point and he's used the nation's bankruptcy laws to avoid several personal losses along the way. He's basically a real estate investor with a big mouth. Don't think for a minute that Trump isn't as corrupt as they come - you just haven't heard all of it yet, but be assured that if the Republicans are foolish enough to nominate him, the media will bury him with the scandal of his business dealings.

Hillary, along with Bill, at least have taken their own limited talents and turned them into the Governor's mansion in Arkansas and the White House in Washington and along the way they've conned good Americans into funneling hundreds of $millions into their personal accounts through speeches and other shilling.

Hillary/Bill and Trump are two sides of the same con man coin. If you think that's success that will serve America well, God love you and more power to you. Either, in my view, would be a disaster.

Three hundred and twenty million people in the United States and these are supposedly our most realistic options for the national election. What happened to us?

Hillary won't be prosecuted for anything whether material or immaterial while BHO is POTUS.

And if she becomes POTUS as long as she does not make an Nixonian mistakes she can't be prosecuted as POTUS either.

As long as the GOP does not have a supermajority she cannot be impeached.

So you are probably right, although I hope you are wrong about the election.

I hope enough Donald Trump minions rally around him and elect him.

Although I too believe there are plenty of former governors who would do a better job as POTUS than Trump, unfortunately Trump is currently the popular choice.

And he will need Carly on his ticket to beat Hillary. I am surprised he was not thinking about that when he opened his mouth about her face.

Allow me to throw this one at you CJ.

Since we're in "imagine" mode, there are only the three candidates mentioned in the OP.

Carson, who I like a lot, just isn't the right guy for the job. That leaves Hilary, and Trump.

Hilary isn't running for President, her ego and narcissism is. She, IMO, would be a true disaster for the US.

Trump, no question, is about Trump. It seems to me, he would be all about the deal, and the deal is what is best for business. Whether he lined his pockets or not, his ego would be all in for whatever it took to benefit the US, and hence, his business.

I find that much more palatable than the prospect of a shrill angry Hilary storming around the globe as clueless and unprepared as her predecessor.
