Is Marco Rubio the best Presidential candidate for the Republican party?
come 2016? Is he better than Chris Christie?
For a fairly Conservative thinker like myself, he is far better than Christie, as their is nothing conservative about him. And Republicans tend not to win national elections when they nominate the so-called moderates like McCain and Romney who play the conservative card at the last minute to garner some support. The only people that want to see a Republican moderate lead the ticket are those that are already voting for the other candidate. I also think Rubio is far more electable in terms of personality and charisma. And sadly, politics takes into account how you look. And with Christie being morbidly obese, that will hurt his chances. I personally don't like the idea of electing Rubio as my first choice for a conservative candidate simple because much like our current President, his resume prior to joining the Senate is quite thin, and will likely show in his ability to govern. Personally I prefer to see a seasoned and experienced person that has plenty of real world experience, and is willing to challenge their own party. Rand Paul sticks out recently. I am not sure how electable he is either. My first choice is neither of the two you mention. I'd prefer to see Jim Demint run in 2016. he's battled the establishment republicans numerous times. He's actually been successful outside of gov't, and he is a whole lot more conservative than Romney or McCain.
No Marco Rubio is not the best candidate. I believe their best candidate and best person to get them back in the white house is New Jersey governor Christie. Marco Rubio seems fake and out of touch of current issues.
Well at this point Rubio and Christie have proven they cannot be trusted, Rand Paul just shot himself in the foot with his new stand on immigration, The only one of the new ones that I had considered that has not shown yet to be untrustworthy is Ted Cruz so I am watching him. Sure hope we get a real candidate that is a real patriot this time instead of the typical losers we have to choose from
So far i really dont see anyone i am truly interested in.

Is Trump a viable presidential candidate?If he is, what does that say about our political process? If he's not, how do you explain the polls?

If Trump had a crystal ball which showed he might (somehow) start a civil war here in the good ol' USA, would/should he decide not to run? - wondering.

Most have already decided on who they will vote for in the Republican primaries. Or, it seems so. With that said, are the primaries just an exercise in futility and all should acquiescence to Trump? Or, is there a wild card somewhere in the midst that just may persuade some of Trump's base to...

The man is truly embarrassing,he is incapable of answering a single question on any topic because of the fear of the extreme right which makes him give nonsensical answers and look like a mumbling fool when asked even the simplest of questions.
