    Put a republican back in office and get rid of Obama Care. It should be unconstitutional to force people to pay for medical care.

    The hospitals and insurance companies should have some type of cap on what they can charge for services

    Trump at the debates is a recipe for calamity but the possibility of having higher ratings might be tempting for them.

    Jindal is official with a super creepy video ahead of his actual announcement.

    the Trump surge is real! and he doesn't have to file financial disclosures in order to stay in the race until February. I hope he can keep this up, because Trump in the debates is comedy gold and a gift from the heavens to Hillary
    Bush 17%
    Trump 12%
    Carson 8%
    Paul 8%
    Rubio 7%
    Walker 6%
    Huckabee 5%
    Perry 4%
    Santorum 4%
    Christie 3%
    Cruz 3%
    Kasich 3%
    Jindal 2%
    Fiorina 1%
    Graham 1%
    Pataki *
    Someone else (vol.) 5%
    None/No one 6%
    No opinion 3%

    Meanwhile Hillary embarrasses them all in the general election numbers, but I'd still rather see them doing some damage to each other before she goes after them
    Obviously her leads are somewhat a factor of name recognition (but she's still easily over 50% with near universal name recognition, which means that the people who wouldn't vote for her know who she is, too) and the fact that this is registered voters with no likely voter screen. basically shows that Clinton is dominating early on and if she can run a good turnout operation like Obama did, she can win big

    It’s no coincidence that Obama’s going to give this kind of speech at this moment in the home state of a politician who’s become the White House’s bête noire. Republican Scott Walker is the governor the president’s aides always hold up as an example of exactly what’s wrong with politics — and he would be the Democrats’ nightmare scenario, if he were to win the presidency in 2016...

    Obama himself doesn’t do much handicapping of the Republican race, but people who’ve talked to him say when he does, he tends to express a combination of intrigue and confusion about Walker’s prospects.

    Obama rarely talks presidential politics publicly. But even though Walker is not formally in the race, the president has already attacked him twice: first issuing a rare White House statement on a state issue in March that attacked the governor for signing a right-to-work law, then a month later swatting away Walker’s criticism of him on the Iran negotiations as “foolish.”

    “Perhaps Mr. Walker, after he’s taken some time to bone up on foreign policy, will feel the same way,” Obama said dismissively.

    I'm saying. Walker has lost some steam since Trump but he's a f---ing threat

    Trump either f---ing lawst or FOX and the GOP locking him in to their eventual demise

    Clarified that to qualify for the debate, candidates will have to have filed all their paperwork, including the financial disclosures (Trump was widely expected to take extensions to delay that)

    he's done so much damage already, it will be pretty good even if he just sticks around as long as he can and then whoever ends up winning has to bow and scrape for his endorsement.

    in the end, they're going to go all out for beating Hillary so I'm not worried about some group of GOP supporters not voting in the general if Trump doesn't win any more than I am worried about Bernie fans sitting out when Hillary wins
