Another Republican debate tonight!
I find the national desire to draft Mitt Romney into the 2016 Presidential Race intriguing. I don't remember any other failed nominated presidential candidate being so enamoring. Al Gore, John Kerry, and John McCain were never encouraged to run again, but rather all cast aside to the dustbin of history. Just wish Mitt would heed these calls.

Watching yet another Republican Debate.
Who's going to get Trumped tonight? Personally, I'm still hoping for a Bush or Rubio revival, but I'd vote for Trump if that's what it comes down to.
Of course I'd need to register to vote, first - never mind that I graduated university with a Political Science degree!
Can't believe the general election is 10 months away! #ObamaOut

People need to realize that if Trump is indeed elected president, he would tone down his rhetoric and be more professional - that's why I'm not afraid of a Trump Presidency.
Remember, in 2008 we had the opposite of Trump: a smooth, ambitious talker who sold the vague notion of hope in order to be elected president. Well, how has that worked out America? #ObamaOut

I'll tell you this for free: A Ben Carson presidency is scarier than a Donald Trump presidency. Carson is so out of his depth. Regardless, #ObamaOut

I do have my favorites, but remove Trump and Carson, and I'd be fine with any other candidate becoming president (Bush, Rubio, Cruz, Christie, and Kasich). And of course: #ObamaOut

Next president ushers in World War 3. You could argue that we've been on the edge of WWIII since the end of WWII. I'll just leave that thought for now.

With Jeb Bush's campaign looking so insipid, I'm close to jumping ship to Marco Rubio. I think he's the next best option, and I'd be able to get behind him. If you can classify him as American, because it's rumoured his parents weren't naturalised at his birth. We attack Cruz but Rubio never is attacked.

If you can classify him as American, because it's rumoured his parents weren't naturalised at his birth. We attack Cruz but Rubio never is attacked. If not this election cycle, Rubio will eventually be president. In a normal election cycle, he would be leading and would be the number one pick (only because Bush has run a terrible campaign thus far). Both Rubio and Bush are considered the "establishment" candidate, but right now the usual outsiders and leading - Trump and Cruz. If this truly does become an outlier election, then I don't know how to apply everything I learned at school. There's still time for things to change, but I'm now very wary of Trump. (Although it's interesting to note how polling isn't as trusting anymore. Gallup had Romney +1 going into 2012, he lost -4! So who the fuck knows?).

Lets get this straight Julia Gillard has never threatened your father, and you think this is worth telling us? I can confirm she has not threatened me or anyone i know.

Well, how has that worked out America? #ObamaOut It's easy to complain about Obama being vague and getting elected in 2008. But he also won a second term against Mitt Romney when he had a record to defend, explain that one?

But he also won a second term against Mitt Romney when he had a record to defend, explain that one? Very hard to unseat an incumbent, and the signs aligned perfectly form him at that time (economy, Super Storm Sandy, etc). But he was the first ever president to be re-elected with less votes than he got in his first election - which can't be overlooked, either. Too many conservative sat out in the election, as they didn't view Romney "conservative enough." Gallup had Romney +1 going into the 2012 election, Romney of course lost by 4!, which is massive: www.gallup.com/poll/158519/romney-obama-gallup-final-election-survey.aspxYou then add the polls for the Scottish Referendum and British General Election, and you start seeing a pattern. Polls are not as trusting anymore - this could be for a various issues. Why do I bring this up? Trump's polling could be over-inflated (not saying it is, just speculating).

Apparently Iowa has something like a 46% chance of predicting the Democratic nomination, and 53% chance of predicting the Republican nomination.
Maybe we should just flip a coin.
