RockRaines Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 09:19 AM) Cruz would be a disaster as well, they really needed Kasich or Jeb. I actually voted for kasich because I somewhat align with his Conservative Fiscal strategy, in fact I think I was the only one in my voting location to take a republican ballot. Unfortunately the xenophobia bulls*** overshadowed some who could have been legit candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pettie4sox Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Cruz would have been obliterated too, albeit not as bad as Trump is. Kasich seemed like a decent candidate that people could vote for but he's a religious nutter. Bush has the unfortunate luck of carrying the name of an ex-president who was wildly unpopular. Romney and McCain probably should have run for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Kasich has some pretty strong social conservative views and is an anti choice zealot.

I really liked his economic policies. Romney may have won this election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCain doesn't have the fight anymore for this, wish we had 2008 McCain running though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) And Pence is now claiming that raddatz misrepresented his stance on Syria despite her reading his words from the transcript and says he's in total agreement with Trump despite his position just being incomprehensible word salad.

Eh, I think he would have a lot of Johnson type moments. I mean he pretty much brushed aside questions about foreign policy when running with lines like "Syria and ISIS are important, and we'll get to those, but what about Wall St?" I think he would have struggled with those topics and that would be hard to overcome especially when you have a fear monger opposite him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I voted for sanders in the primary, but I think he'd be struggling a bit on the national stage especially on foreign policy as you point out russ.

bmags Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 If Bernie were up against trump I highly doubt foreign policy chops would be bad. He showed propensity to learn and all of Clintons Fp wonks would have joined him. It is amazing that the dems have put out their most progressive platform since the 80s and there has been zero conservative critique of it from trump.

StrangeSox Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) The biggest loser from last night seems to be the GOP. Trump didn't perform poorly enough to give them all the last excuse they needed to bail but if anything riled up the base even more. So they're stuck with him for now, many back in their quasi endorse/ support state, and something even worse than last week's tape is inevitably going to come out imo. They'll look all the worse when it does, and they will have a hell of a time distancing themselves from Trump for awhile. And just like that, to support that idea: https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/785498801062543360 https://mobile.twitter.com/scottwongDC/stat...500339965337600 "I won't defend this man or campaign with him, but I still think he should be the president of the most powerful country on earth" is a hell of a position to have to take.
