Yeah, I didn't think he did. To be honest, he was so far off of my radar that I was really only reminded of him after I saw a part of the debate.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Hillary did very well at the Benghazi hearings, she deserves credit for that.
If we start getting a sense of who she would pick to be in her administration, that would be a very good thing possibly.
If she picks the usual establishment people, that's a BAD thing.
In the meantime, we have a YEAR, and besides presidential politics, we need to get serious about recruiting game changers for Congress and we need to set about rooting out the cons in local government, city and state.
SEVENTY percent of city, state and local govt is now DOMINATED by the Republican Party, did you folks know that?
That means you could put Jesus Christ and Buddha on the ticket and it wouldn't even matter at the local level.
You could put the Caped Crusader and Superman in the White House and your town is still going to be fellating the same old ALEC backed Koch-suckers.
So....Hillary...okay, maybe we have to give her a chance....so....Bernie, what a wonderful miracle it would be...and then comes January 20th and you turn around and some jackleg con-tard is in your governor's mansion or sitting on your city council intoning about how we must give more tax cuts to the rich and cut services as if NOTHING CHANGED!!!
Do you folks see what I am getting at?

I think Marco Rubio is now the front runner for the GOP nomination, and apparently the betting markets think so too. NYT I think Clinton's Benghazi appearance and experience (and political machine) will easily win her the Democratic nomination (sorry, Bernie). And I think Trump and Carson will flame out once voters start getting serious. Rubio has the backing of GOP establishment donors, now, as JEB!'s star is fading. When it comes to brass tacks, though, the electorate will go with expertise over youth. Rubio is telegenic, youthful and well-spoken (he is a lawyer, after all), but he is callow, has spending skeletons in his closet, has little political experience and will have immigration issues to walk back (that his base will not like). Clinton will keep him on the defensive, and he'll never gain traction.

If Rubio does manage to beat out Trump and Carson, I agree that he will have a hard time winning or gaining anything, no matter who the Democratic nominee is.

Just an empty suit, no substance. The only thing Rubio has going for him is that he's not quite as nutty as Trump, Carson, Cruz, Santorum or Lindsey(did I miss anyone?). And he is less callous or shallow than Fiorina or Kasich(but not by much). But Either Sanders or Clinton(or my dog Twinkie) can run circles around him and beat him three ways to Sunday in a head-to-head match up for the Presidency. Unless the Koch brothers back him and somehow cheat at the polls.
