Sanders/Clinton vs Trump/Cruz/Rubio

[2facedboonefan]

I think we're close enough now that we can say one of these five will be the next president. Ranking them from best to worst for me personally:

1. Sanders
2. Clinton
3. Rubio
4. Moving across the border to Vancouver
5. Cruz
6. Trump

I know that I'm biased, but I can't help but think Sanders would have a great shot at beating Trump or Cruz just on likability alone. Rubio would scare me the most, but even he seems to lack "it", whatever "it" is.

I like some Sanders positions, but the man himself is not real likable on a personality level IMO. My own list would look like yours with Trump moved into 3rd and the rest moved down, Canada eliminated. Of those 3 Rs, trump has the best Trade policy which means a lot and is the least likely to bomb Iran.

And part of me still think Trump is trolling the crap out of cons.

Trump is definitely playing to his base.

I'm not sure who his base is. Is it the Rs he is outwardly playing to or is it the Ds he may be trolling for?

His base is people who want to make America great again. Duh.

Honestly? He's really playing to the people who are beyond frustrated with the government in general, and that includes both Republicans and Democrats.

Trump is able to do in 6 months what ron paul spent 30 years trying to do.

Seems disrespectful to RP to compare the two.

This. I don't personally agree with Ron Paul on most issues, but also I don't doubt his sincerity. Trump, on the other hand, is an absolute clown.

I just can't see America electing a 75-year-old Socialist. I don't think that's pure bias or wishful thinking on my part; I can see America electing Hillary or Biden or just about any of the other candidates.

At least as the first couple of states go, I agree. What puzzles me is Rubio's strategy. He seem content on losing both Iowa and New Hampshire. He hardly even has a ground game in either state. Not sure why he seems to think these losses are nothing to worry about?

Before 2008, I bet you were saying you just can't see America electing a black man either.
