It looks like early voting in Florida indicates that Rubio has an early lead. I have been waiting to cast my early vote until I could get an indication on which candidate could possibly beat Trump. I had intended to vote for Rubio until I saw his dismal showing in the Super Tuesday primary. Then, I figured that Cruz would be the best candidate to beat Trump and still have a chance of winning the general. If Rubio has the best chance of winning Florida from Trump, then I guess I will still vote for Rubio, even though it is virtually impossible for him to win the nomination. But, why waste a vote on Cruz, if Trump is going to win Florida if Rubio doesn't? So, I plan to vote for Rubio if this trend continues with him in the lead for Florida. I don't think that Trump is the best we can do, and even Cruz is better. I realize that Rubio doesn't have a chance in the long haul, but if Trump loses a few states, then maybe Cruz can get the nomination, even if it turns out that we end up with a contested convention. If Trump doesn't get the nomination and decides to be a dixk about it, then it will just backfire on him. He will become the villain and be ostracized in America. With an ego like his, that would be unacceptable, so he would probably back off. So, as it stands right now Rubio will likely get my primary vote. What happens in the general is entirely different. I will support whichever candidate gets the nomination for the Republican party.

And the Democrats will support whoever gets the Democratic nod. As of 3/2/16, the average of latest polls show either Hillary or Sanders easily beating Trump in the general election.

You will support whatever Republican candidate gets the nomination? Pal, you are the kind of idiot that should not be vote.

You would support Trump even though he stated several times that he would kill the families of terrorists? How about televising Trump personally beheading the mother and the 6 month old child of the San Bernadino killers? You in favor of that?

That's why FactCheck and Snopes has an audience and makes a living. I think it's a stronger argument when a source is provided.

The internet changed the world of education. Some professors have banned wireless devices in the lecture hall because students would not listen, instead they would google everything the professor said and missed some of the content.

We used to listen to experts because it was too much work to substantiate what they said.

From an idiot that would vote for Hillary or Sanders? I don't know of any Democrats that I am associated with that will admit that they would vote for either of them. They may not vote Republican, but they sure won't vote for the criminal and the socialist. SO, YES I will vote for any Republican that gets the nomination. Because even Trump, the worst of them is better than either Killary or Sanders. If you have a problem with that, then try explaining why you can justify voting for Hillary or Sanders.

I just voted for Hillary and will vote for her in the general election. You are not associated with real democrats if they are voting for any other party. I am proud to be called an idiot by an ignoramus.

So what you are saying is vote the party no matter what!!!

You are also saying those who don't are not real party members!!!

The party is always right.

Exactly why unqualified incompetents like Obama get elected.

You go on being a happy party first no matter what supporter.

The rest of us will continue to do what is right for America regardless the R or D.

Guest 03-08-2016 02:08 PM

Time for a daily dose of reality:

Hillary Clinton is now at 66.2 percent chance of being our next President; Trump slipped a bit downward to 19 percent; and Cruz inched upward to 4.2 percent chance of being the next President. Rubio is at 2 percent possibility.


This is a fluid situation and changes every day. Stay tuned or go to electionbettingodds.com and follow for yourselves.

Snopes "The bottom line is this: No one will likely ever know what was deleted from Clinton's server. Barring one of the 30,000 emails Clinton turned over to the State Department being deemed "classified," it's also unlikely she will ever be found to have violated the letter of the law."

Hillary is the boss. She assumes that the people in charge of her classified computer files are storing them safely and are following the guidelines of federal government security. You can't expect her to know where the files are saved any more than you can expect her to know when she throws a bottle out if it is going to the recycling center or the dump with the other garbage. Hillary is the boss. When she throws out a diet pepsi aluminum can she assumes it is being recycled.

I'll bet all that changed. If I was the boss and my security team said that when I was saving files it was going to the right server I would hire a second team to double check they were right, just to be on the safe side.

If it was done incorrectly it was not done with criminal intent. She wasn't selling classified secrets or saving money by using a home server. You can't expect the boss to know all there is to know about network security.

You can expect lawyers, politicians and candidates to understand the constitution, the Geneva Convention, how a bill becomes a law and and why it's important to think before you talk.

It is clear form your post that you have never held a government position in which you were required to sent and or received unclassified or classified information, yet you seem to be a self-styled expert, intent on make excuses for Hillary Clinton.

You obviously know nothing of the security safeguards and procedures which have been implemented to prevent the compromise of sensitive information. Your uninformed opinion is just that...an uniformed, biased and factually inaccurate opinion!

The point is that Hillary is a felon. She knowingly violated national security by using a personal, open to the Internet computer, that had no encryption, to transmit classified information. Marked or not, it was still classified information and she knew it. If she claims that she did not know it, then she is a blatant liar. No one would be given that position and not know the importance of properly handling classified material. The lowest paid State Dept employee is given training in the handling of classified material. Clinton signed a non-disclosure agreement also. She is guilty. Just the emails that have been released prove that, and no telling what they have refused to release because of the sensitivity of the material. She can not claim to be ignorant. She can not take that excuse. She is corrupt. Her husband is corrupt. They are both criminals, and liberals will vote for them regardless. That says that liberals do not care about their country.

Oh, by the way, even a retired State Department clerk typist knows how to handle classified material...something of which you are obviously clueless.

That's an easy one. You, in your ignorance have never lived in another country, much less several foreign countries. Therefore, you do NOT know what today's Democrat party's goal is to socialize this country like others. The reason that I know better than you (not such a high bar) is that I have experienced socialism in other countries. Why do you think that everyone wants to live here and no one from America wishes to migrate to other countries? There is a very good reason for it.

Other reasons:

You need the gov - the gov needs us
You want a gov babysitter - we want the gov to allow us our privacy
You believe in coddling - we believe in self-reliance
You don't like something someone does - you want to ban it. If we don't like something, we don't do it.

You need FREE education
You need FREE housing
You need ......etc, etc, etc...........You are needy...and we aren't.

No matter how you spin Social Security and Medicare.....we don't need it. You do. You say we enjoy those services. No, we were forced to contribute to it, so we want our due recompense.

Hmmm, kill the families of terrorists? Didn't we use the atom bomb on Japan, twice? Did we just kill the enemy or did a few civilians get killed? Didn't we bomb Germany? Since you are too chicken sh*t to go into combat, are you going to put our families in harms way, trying to filter out the enemy from their families? Obama has been killing families when he uses drone attacks. Do you really think that he has been telling them to leave the house before he bombs the house?

I just think and speak for myself. If I can't back up what I say with with sources I keep my opinion to myself

And all my friends and family were and are busy making ends meet my entire life. What was said that would lead you to think otherwise?

Government officials are expected to understand that when they are saving or sending an email they know exactly where it goes along the way. Is that correct?

It is immaterial where an email "goes along the way". What matters is the correct classification of the CONTENT of the email. Why can't you understand that? Others have tried to explain this to you, over and over again, but you just can't seem to grasp the importance of correctly marking classified and sensitive material.

I've got time now. I'm not busy making ends meet.

She is sending the wrong message by wrapping her arms around the black president
 
Some of us knew at the end of year one we had an incompetent president.....or being kind(er) just not capable of the job (just being black doesn't make it so!).

But Clinton to suck up the black lemmings is promising an Obama "third term....barf....sorry about that)......

She, like him, does not understand that we the people are sick of Obama and his failed presidency. So to promise more of the same is outright stupid. Dumb enough to think the blacks will roll her into office like they did Obama.

She adds new meaning to stupid and flip flop:

Michigan sends Clinton a message.
Michigan where they were forecast minimally double digit landslide win.

She failed to get the most relevant state since the primaries began.

She now has to take note that she has serious competition.

Like him or not....Sanders is the democratic outsider who promises to not continue with more of the same.

And whether democrat or republican, those who are not enslaved to the party, do not want to see more of the same.

Clinton promising more of the same???????????????????????? How stupid is that. She must think she should act like Obama and ignore the sounds coming from the elctorate.

Big difference. He is in office....she is not.

Security Expert on New Details About Hillary Clinton

It's what I suspected. She has a server in her house. She hires someone to set it up and secure it and it and it wasn't done correctly. And he's not talking. Does that imply her criminal content or just bad judgement? What do you do if you want to work out of your house and you are a high ranking official?

Do you expect her to know what tech support knows?

I'm educable. I have a couple of degrees. Try to add something to the conversation that you didn't write. I'll read it.

If you are a high ranking official and the business states you shall use the business computer system, that is what you do.
If you are a high ranking official and you conduct business on your home computer, you will be notified to cease and desist. Continue use will get you fired.

Making the installer the fall guy is most certainly not the answer. As secretary of state she knew what system was supposed to be used. She set hers up anyway. SHE set hers up anyway. No flags were thrown by the state department or homeland security or the pentagon. They all knew of the problem. They all contributed by not putting up the stop sign.
These are the very folks who are aiding and abetting her now, when she states if she goes down others will go with her.

She does not have to know what her tech knows. She knew there was a government server to conduct the business of the state department. She had her private server set up anyway.

A felony and treason.

If you are educatable please do not be duped into laying blame on underlings or contractors. The secretary of state and the US government are wholly responsible for their actions and the actions within their organizations....legal and illegal. Ignorance of what is going on in one's area of responsibility IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE excuse.
