No. That means Trump will probably not be the frontrunner any more. Trump wins when the party is as fractured as possible. I want him to be nominee so I need all 15 in the field until Iowa at least so Trump can win Iowa and bounce from there to winning New Hampshire and then South Carolina and Nevada.

Don't states have deadlines? What's the first one? How much longer does Biden have until he has to stay if he's entering?

I'm sorry, these people are absolutely disgusting

The Tea Party is truly gross and Trump is the beast they created. The fact that they are using DEATHS for political capital. The fact that they didn't receive permission from the families of these soldiers. The fact that the families have expressed their own disgust. The fact that they are essentially implying she was complicit in murder.

And this just goes to show the difference between the left and the right. The left would NEVER do something like this. They would never participate in these theatrics.

Biden shouldn't even consider running anymore. The Iowa caucus is three and a half months away - there's almost no chance of him overtaking Hillary before that without him deciding literally today.

The best thing that could happen right now is him declining to run and endorsing Hillary, and then Obama fully endorsing her. Like, please, Democratic Gods, we need you to make this happen!

I mean, I do see the rationale for Dems wanting Trump to win the nomination.

But at the same time, I'm worried about legitimizing him and giving him an actual shot.

That video...can the families do anything or are they stuck having that broadcast up?

Biden is not going to run now, Hillary basically sured up the base in the debate and Bernie gave her an out on the emails...there really isn't an opening anymore for Joe

I don't think the Dems want Trump to be the GOP nominee because he could pull away moderate democrats away from Hillary.

I just don't understand how a rational person thinks that he should be President.

How do you know this the tea party?

Anyways, Hilary and the administration needs to answer on why they lied about the video and why she deleted her emails when the govt tried to find out the truth. She's lucky the Republicans handed her the "conspiracy" excuse.

Not even the moderate democrats. They love Hillary, it's the conservative democrats a la Jim Webb that Trump could pull away

And the dems don't want Trump as the nominee because having him lose then run as a 3rd party candidate drains the Republican votes, an easy win for whoever the nominee is (which at this point is 80% likely to be Clinton)

Trump has made so many enemies, nothing can legitimize him. He needs to be the nominee. Also, Latinos will NEVER come out for him en masse. He gets skewered on Univision every single damn day.

Most people don't care about overall qualifications (hello Obama vs. Hilary) , they vote based on who they feel has their best interests at heart. I think Trump just speaks to the issues they care about.

Trump would be a better nominee than Carson. LOL.

Agree completely. Carson is the worst candidate up there (though Fiorina and Trump aren't that far behind)

I wouldn't say "love"...more like "settle for".

Trump actually has liberal positions...especially on women's health that appeals to moderate democrats. If he could survive till the general and be the GOP nominee he could give Hillary a run for her money. Even the "liberal" networks swoon over Trump.

The fact that what you're saying is true scares me. He could give Hillary a run for her money

CNN is paying to sponsor this post on Facebook

They've also deleted their poll posts, which had Bernie ahead of the other candidates.

Skywalker

Hillary would DESTROY Trump in the debates.

I kinda actually want to watch that too, LOL, but that's way too risky to think about.

Retro

Maybe I should hope Jeb gets it. Hillary's still ahead of him head-to-head even without her recent increases in general and I'm confident he's one of the candidates she could dance around in circles during the debates.

The Bernsters will be pissed.

Carson's past comments on gays, the Holocaust, and guns are pure insanity!

He will never be the GOP nominee.

I've read articles where even liberal feminists are impressed with Carly Fiorina. Hillary wants to talk about history, and breaking that "glass ceiling". Having a poised, female GOP candidate who doesn't mind going toe to toe on policy would actually force Hillary to talk about the issues, and defend her record. That's the one match-up Hillary definitely doesn't want.
