Ted Cruz the 'Master Debater' had his clock cleaned by Trump and we haven't heard nary a peep from him since.

Re: 2016 Election
I would not vote for Clinton...I call her that because all the press and TV seem to refer to her by her first name...but the others by their surnames. Anyways...yes she would be the last person I would vote for. As to the rest...well that's between me and the ballot box...but I do try to keep an open mind to both sides.

Re: 2016 Election
My point is that Hillary Clinton is normally referred to by her first name by the media. The other candidates...both D's and R's are normally referred to by their surnames. Referring to someone by their first name...rather than their surname...seems to make them more approachable/friendly/softer image etc. Let's face it...Clinton is doing her very best to show her softer side. Trouble is she doesn't have one...and it shows.

Re: 2016 Election
Seniors aren't on Obamacare.
As for the silly remark, there's an equally silly saying that if you're young and voting Republican you have no heart, but if you're old and still voting Democrat you have no brain.
With my wife going through cancer treatment, I've been in a lot of waiting rooms for the past year and the people in them are constantly complaining about Obama - but I don't think they are "spewing hatred." (Yesterday the TV in the waiting room for the chemo center was tuned to the news, they were showing Obama's SotU address and this kicked off lively and universally negative responses from the patients.) I've also yet to hear ANY doctors, among them PCPs, cancer and cardiac specialists, say anything supportive about Obamacare. Ask your PCP or specialist, in a neutral way please, whether he or she thinks Obamacare has improved things for doctors and patients and listen carefully to what he or she says.

It's improved things for anyone who couldn't get coverage prior to the changes, I am sure if you asked a few of those folks, you may find they are happy.

Re: 2016 Election
She shares a surname with a certain ex-president who is also frequently in the public eye. It's necessary to include her first name in order to avoid confusion re: who is being discussed.

Trump actually sounds relatively sane compared to some of this crowd. Never thought I'd say that.
