  1. His campaign will come to an immediate halt as soon as he gives his "husband" a big wet kiss on national TV. 70% of the male population will throw up their lunch and vote for Trump. We need Joe Biden!

  2. Kris Aditya, not a kid I just know the electorate as I have studied it for many years both in my Masters program and in reality. Little Pete is a doomed candidate. The electorate is not ready to vote for a homosexaul for President. Especially someone who has only been the Mayor of a small town and actually failed at that! We need Biden!

  3. MICHGO1, you know what they say about people who use all capital letters don't you? Uh huh...Run along. Go vote for little Pete. Just remember what I said. In the end he will be rejected!!   Bye!

  4. Kris Aditya Do tell....and what do you base your opinion on? Emotions? He barely has 9% of the vote nation wide according to most polls. As for appealing to conservatives he doesn't!  He is for abortion at 9 months. He is for stricter gun control. He is for national healthcare. He is for higher taxes and a nanny state. Tell me what conservate is for those things? I don't know of any. He also has a large problem with African American voters. In short they hate him!  And as I said in previous posts the country is not yet ready to see two men kissing on national television. Don't get me wrong I couldn't care less. But I know the electorate and trust me about 70% of men will not vote for him for that reason alone. Small minded? Sure but that is a fact!  Now what? Shall we debate, or are you going to run along? If so bye nice chatting with you :-)

  5. Kris, wow three posts....I will try to respond in one if you don't mind. Firstly, polls are actually fairly accurate. Granted they all had Trump losing and they were wrong. But over all at this stage of the game they are pretty spot on. And Pete is under water nationally that is just a fact. 2. He does have serious money coming in from various sources so he will be a contender to the end I am sure. 3. I assume that you are in your 20's and don't fully appreciate the distaste for gay men in the over 40 male demographic. As I said I couldn't care less but trust me they do! I am simply guessing at the 70% stat. But it's a good guess as appoximately 20% of democrats are far left and would vote for the Wizard of Ozz if he was a left winger. And I am sure there is at leas another 10% like me who don't care about someone's sexuality. I could be off by 5% either way but I am close. 4. As for African Americans he does have a very real problem! He it began in his hometown where a Cop shot a black person for not such a good reason and he didn't respond fast enough. Additionaly his lack of black support is shown in South Carolina where is almost in dead last place. As you know SC is heavily African American.  If he does get the nomination he loses to Trump by pretty big numbers not just because he is gay but because of the list of far left policies I previously listed and his lack of black support which Trump has managed to pick up. The latest numbers show blacks approve of Trump by an astounding 35%. That is record number for a republican President--shocking really. If we want to beat Trump I think Warren is our best choice. I think women feel cheated after 2016 and they will turn out in huge numbers to vote for Warren. She is smart and would be good in a debate.
