I disagree with you

They risk angering their base. Trump vaulted to #2 in the polls. Now you can argue that was despite his comments about Mexicans or because of his comments about Mexicans. Republicans also don't want to risk pissing off a "$9 billion" potential donor.
I don't really get people ripping on Romney either. He was a smart dude who was just out of touch with lower and middle class America
Is FOX News going to allow applause during the August 6 debate?
Hillary has much more support outside of this board than she does on this board. It's nonsense to equate the board with the rest of the world.
You could not be more wrong. If Rand Paul is nominated, I will vote republican. I don't see myself voting for any of the others. I will almost surely vote Libertarian unless the unlikely happens and Paul wins the nomination. I am done holding my nose with one hand and voting with the other.
I think Rand Paul may have the best chance to beat Hillary as I think the demographics are such that you will need someone that feels different than your standard republican to break through. In my opinion Jeb Bush or some other mainstream republican has no chance to win. I fully expect the Republicans to nominate Jeb or someone who thinks and looks a lot like him. In that case, I really do not care who wins between Jeb and Hillary. I will not vote for either of them.
Outside of my grandmother, who loves Hillary Clinton, I have yet to find a single person in my entire swath of relationships that is fired up about Hillary. I have a family member that ran for governor in a state under the Democratic ticket, so that includes a very WIDE sample. Everyone says the same thing. We don't like her, but we will hold our nose and vote for her. That is a terrible principle.
Who are they fired up by that they're not voting for?
Bernie Sanders is the only name I ever see mentioned. I don't understand how no one likes her, yet she is going to beat the rest of the Democratic nominees. I understand why you would vote for Hilldog over a R, but I don't understand how Hillary is going to win the D nomination if no one likes her.
Because the primaries don't take place in a vacuum?
What is there not to understand? Democrats are voting for her because she is a shoo-in for president barring a massive scandal. She's the best opportunity the party has to elect a president in the next election due to name recognition, donations, and her resume.
Democrats aren't fired up by the field, so they're just choosing or settling for the one they believe defeat the Republicans.
I guess so. You just seemed to have hitched your wagon to everything that is wrong with American politics. Pretty much everything ya'll complain about you are about to vote for. You admit this, yet you still are going to vote for her.
What about Rand Paul? And Christie is definitely not worse than Clinton. He is extremely moderate (outside of not liking weed). Or you could choose Clinton, whose policies to be honest will mirror exactly what we have been doing the past two decades that hasn't been working. Everyone makes their own choices, I am just tired of hearing people complain about Washington and then elect the same families to run Washington. Expecting different results from the same action is insanity I hear.
