Rumor has it that Kasich will announce this week.

As much as I like the guy I don't think he can go anywhere in this field. Not these days.

He's not angry enough to excite the base of the GOP.
He doesn't have a gimmick tax plan to replace the IRS like the fairtax or a 999 plan.
He spends too much time talking positive and not enough time running other people down.
Nope, he's going nowhere.

There's very little info on him out there and yes, politics has become far too polarized for a "good" candidate to win the primaries. :(

Can you confirm the scandal was real, or was it generated by some unsubstianted women that stood up and said he did it without any proof?

No one can confirm it but him I think. But the perception of a "scandal" is all it takes to sink a political ship.
Did Bill really have sexual relations with Monica? He says not. Doesnt matter, results are the same either way.

What a surprise. Clinton would say that he didn’t have a sexual relationship with an intern who had the ass the size of a Buick … after he pokes her with a cigar and then after getting a blow job leaves his junk on her blue GAP dress. But I guess having a “sexual relationship” would depend on the definition of the word “is”.

Bill is a bent dick serial philanderer who is a chronic and habitual liar ... And so is his wife.

Good point on the Cain "scandal". Doesn't matter if it happened or not. It's the perception that it did that counts. Goes to the stuff they said about Romney. Truth is a not a product of politicians.

We all know how you feel, but painting your picture so crudely is not appropriate for this forum. How about you dial it back a couple of notches? :(

Really? I can understand the other things on the list, but this? A bit of a stretch... We have legitimate reasons to do everything we can to keep Hillary out of office (and ideally in jail) and you add this to reasons against Rubio? Ridiculous.
