I have no problem with tough talk. I am not offended by his statements although they are a bit inartfully stated. Just this week, a 5 time deportee hospitalized a woman and her two kids drunk driving and another 5 time deportee shot a woman at random killing her in SF. That's what you get with an administration that refuses to enforce the law.
I used to like Cristie, but his actions over Tesla and his positions on gun laws have soured me. There is truth in what Trump says, but that is no matter. He is a buffoon. He cares only for self promotion and has no chance of winning. My fear is that he will run as an independent, siphon off republican votes, and gift the dems the win. It would be the reps own fault tho. Seriously, Jeb Bush as your frontrunner? Recipe for a loss. No way independents vote for him, and they are the ones that win elections.
Personally, I like Walker despite his religious views. I am not a one agenda voter. Rick Perry has spoken with substance and eloquence though he doesn't seem to be gaining traction. Both he and walker have shown that they can balance budgets and create jobs. Fiorina would be my dark horse. Of course, this is all very preliminary and may change as time goes on.
The dems are even worse off. Hillary, despite a friendly press will get (rightly) crucified come election time. Had any rep done what she has done, there is no way they would even still be in the race. And Sanders for a second choice? Good grief. How the fringe is controlling the election. You would have to be completely blind to history and current world events to think a socialist heading the country is a good idea.
