I'm praying for Rubio too

I don't care for Rubio, for a man that the family emigrated from Cuba for him to get a better life. He has had no compassion for any immigrant, he has made it so hard for immigrants in his state of Florida( Obama even called him out recently)

Being a liberal am team Hillary all the way

Who are you? You spoke my mind. Rick Santorium was the first choice of my entire family but, it wasn't meant to be. We then looked into Jeb because we love anything Bush, but he has used all his time to attack Rubio for reasons known to him.

The battle between Trump and Sanders will be the most interesting. I say No to a far left socialist and Yes to radical capitalist.

Get drunk and vote T.

Ted Cruz is worst than Trump, Trump is all hat no cattle; Ted Cruz is an ultra Conservative right wind ideology who is beholden to the upper 5% only.

None of them are fit to be the next POTUS and they wouldn't. Rick Santorum was the only same one among the GOP lineup, but the raging Loud mouth GOP activists will not give him a chance.

Based on REP records, it would even be a bad ideal to win the Iowa caucus. I'm rooting for Trump or Rubio.

Almost all Americans are immigrants anyways. As a commander in chief, you have to be tough on illegal immigration, because those illegal immigrants are basically causing unemployment for the American people. You see, Some employers would rather employ an illegal immigrant because they get paid peanuts to do a job vs thet regular American who gets the minimum wage or more.

No, he was underrated.

He didn't show up at the republican debate, and still hasn't taken Cruz superPAC $1.5m veterans challenge. He didn't spend time in Iowa but still came 2nd.
GoodGovernance:
Was Trump over rated?

Once reviled by fellow Republicans as a “wacko bird” eager to shut down the US government, Ted Cruz proved with his Iowa win that his arch-conservatism may yet propel him into the White House.

He has spent months seeking to out-maneuver his many rivals.

When he did so Monday night, surging past frontrunner Donald Trump as he rode a wave of enthusiastic support, it appeared to validate — if only for a few fleeting hours before the presidential race resumes — the political positions that have made Cruz such a compelling but controversial figure.

Cruz, who has fought hard to maintain a prominent place for faith in American life, is battling not just for the Republican nomination. He sees himself in a battle for the very soul of the country.

“Tonight is a victory for courageous conservatives across Iowa and all across this great nation,” Cruz said in his caucus victory speech.

“We’re seeing conservatives and evangelicals and libertarians and Reagan Democrats all coming together as one, and that terrifies Washington, DC.”

As a US Senate freshman, the 45-year-old Texan — an intellectual proponent of a grassroots movement that has simmered for years under the Republican mainstream — has barely three years under his belt in national politics.

You that makes sense, please define the term illegal immigration and tell me where on earth it's constitutional to indulge or support it. You mean because his parents are immigrants, he shouldn't do the right thing as a senator/president when it comes to immigration?
Those who desire to come should do in the right way. Do you know how risky it is to keep undocumented immigrants? As a result, crime rates can't be kept in check and makes it difficult for the police and the governmental intelligence to track most crimes.

This ain't Rubio's, it's the republican agenda. President Reagan, arguably the best republican president in the history of America , was very though with the issue of illegal immigration. What Rubio wants to do is probably give amnesty to those illegal immigrants and make sure he build and fortify the U.S border against further illegal immigration.

You are probably one of those immigrants that arrive in US and pray that they close borders for everyone so you can maintain your village champion status,

Apparently I'm voting on issues important and dear to me, since immigration is important to me Rubio is off my list, am team Hillary all the way, or even sanders.

It has been a while since Iowa choice actually clinched the Republican ticket. So this ain't nothing. Cruz is an extremist, Trump is way better. Forget the trash talk, Trump isn't bad at all.
