Did Joseph from the Bible build the pyramids to store grain in?

    If there were 15 other people running for the Democratic nomination, Sanders would have a great chance. His roughly 25-33 percent of the party base is solid. Unfortunately for him, he's only running against one candidate.
    PS: I wouldn't be so sure Rubio gets the nomination. He was Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, ergo, he had to be crooked as cat shit. Jeb, who was there, ought to know, and desperate Bushes pull out all the stops.

    Ben Carson's 15 minutes are about up. Nice guy, but he has no ideas, and the GOP is starting to see through him. Of the road show that is the Republican field, the only ones who don't come across as completely batshit crazy are Rubio and Kasich, but they haven't been able to gain any traction. Which is a damn shame, because the White House is there for the taking in 2016, if they can settle on a candidate that actually makes some sense. Nobody I know trusts Hillary and Bernie is a amusing sideshow. But the longer this goes on with the Terrific Trio (Carson, Trump & Cruz) leading the charge, the more I believe Clinton will win by default.

    This comes close to echoing my view. Although I might dispute that Carson has "no" ideas, he does have some, just not ones that are ...you know ..reasonable and sane.

    My observation has been that Kasich is probably the best of the Republican bunch, or at least the one who'd likely make the best president in the real world. But appears Republican voters don't want a boring actually-qualified real world guy, instead they want the hard right circus show. And thus Hillary will end up winning this thing by default.

    There is no concievable way the "White House is there for the taking" for anyone with an (R) beside their name.

    The nation's demographics rule them out. If you don't believe me, you're not paying attention to what America has become.

    Bad news for an anti-Muslim such as yourself.

    No more so than any modern building.
    They were tombs for a people who believed you took your worldly possessions -- including loved ones -- with you into the afterlife. They were also engineered to trap and deter grave robbers with false passages and dummy rooms. So they're solid enough to have stood for thousands of years, but there's a lot of passages and chambers inside.

    Rubio is the most logical candidate because - at this point - he offers the GOP the best chance of winning Florida. Kasich is the most logical VP candidate because he's strong in Ohio. Electoral vote-wise, they're the smartest ticket.

    Sure, the Dems stilll pull out a squeaker if they hold Virginia and their other states from 2012 (279 to 259). But man, they run the table if Carson ever managed to get the nomination. Hillary isn't the best campaigner around (whatever version of herself she'd peddling these days, Hilary 12.0? 15.1?) but she can do the competence act real well. She'll eat him alive.

    Ben Carson is one step away from re-enacting Patton Oswalt's Lucky Charms conspiracy theory.
