Hellobee Boards

@josina: It's Bernie, not Berney.

Bernie. No question.

Bernie!

Hillary.

I find it interesting that you refer to the Dem candidates by first name and the Rep candidates by last name. Not sure if that's good (they're more "human"?) or bad (less respectful?).

Bernie for me, but I'll vote for Hillary if she gets the nomination.

@PurplePeony: same-- Sanders for me but Clinton if she gets the nom. I just like him a bit more.

Rubio...but in reality anyone on the R side as a vote against the democrat candidates.

I like Bernie as a person and how he carries himself - but just am completely opposed to his socialist beliefs.

@lawbee11: @Happygal: Not a republican, but I was the same way as you two about Kaisch. Now I am worried he is going to sneak in and win the republican ticket and end up winning the presidency since a lot of people are so anti-Clinton.

@TrailRunner: There's pretty much no possibility that Kasich will be the nominee. At this point I'd bet money that it'll be Trump. And if it's not Trump then maybe Cruz. But definitely not Kasich.

@lawbee11: I've heard conflicting things about whether he could sneak in and win or if there's no possible way which is what worries me. I keep thinking to myself surely I do not actually live in a country where Donald trump will be a presidential candidate. Not like the other options are much better tho

@lawbee11: I think Rubio stands a better chance than Cruz at this point...plus I think people are starting to realize Cruz stands less likely in a general election...

I am biased tho...bc Cruz scares me...

I find the poll interesting, because I think it shows how Trump is so "popular." The Republican party is still so divided. If lagging candidates dropped out and the establishment put their full support behind one candidate (I'd suggest Rubio, given that he keeps coming in second, though Cruz is close behind) then I think that person would be competitive with Trump. Right now, it seems like there's the Trump people, and then there's the "everyone else" people and the votes are distributed among too many additional players.

@lawbee11: ya thats true...I guess I was just looking at the momentum angle more so. And for me personally...as I have just started to really research them (not sure I'll make it to vote on primary day since its 3 days before my due date)...the more I read the more I dislike Rubio. Although he has some policies I can certainly see as polarizing to me he is easily the most likeable...(on the R side)

@bluestriped bee: Oh for sure, I've just been noticing the same thing in the caucuses, too. Like if you combined Rubio and Cruz alone, they would be about on par with the number of votes Trump is getting. I expect if one of them dropped out, most of those votes would go to the other. Part of that speculation is based on my Republican friends, most of whom are firmly in "anyone but Trump" camp, haha.

If voting democrat - Bernie.
If voting republican - Rubio.

Bernie would win out, I think.

I would #feelthebern right now, but if I had to choose a Republican, it would be Kasich. I didn't like him as governor when I lived in Ohio, but he's grown on me.

ETA: I will not vote for HRC ever. If it's her vs. Trump, I will have some soul-searching to do. But I might actually listen to him.

Complete off topic but seeing the name "Bernie Sanders" in the poll, just made me think of the news reporter that said 'Bernie Sandwiches'. I'm here trying to stop laughing at my desk.

@Mrs D: Cruz freaks me the HELL out. He's such an ideologue thst it gives me the shivers. I would prefer Trump to him any day, hands down.
