The establishment folks want Jeb, the far right social and pro-war conservatives want Walker or Cruz. The Libertarian wing of the GOP wants Rand. I don't think that leaves a Constituency for Rubio. It really tears me up. 
Me too!

There was a paucity of polling in that race but even with that caveat Rahm Beat Chuy by the amount the final poll predicted, ergo:

Who knew republicans
would vote for the 3rd Way 
Groups supporting Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's (D) re-election received $750,000 this month from a conservative hedge fund founder who also has given money to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) and conservative groups.
Ken Griffin, CEO of the hedge fund Citadel, has donated nearly $1 million to pro-Emanuel groups in the last year, including $750,000 since March 2, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Griffin has also contributed to Walker, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), and Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.). Schock, under fire for lavish spending, said on Tuesday that he would resign from Congress. Since last year, Griffin has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars American Crossroads, America Rising, the Republican National Committee and other conservative groups.

2016 race,his "reporting of the facts" was the highlight of election coverage for me. I loved it.
Just kidding.
Still haven't gotten paid yet.
If she doesn't pay me yet I will go to Fox to complain.
the nomination, so it's all good. 
On the question of his positions and the Democratic Party. I think he is purely Democrat, but I'm pretty old school, I guess.
Disturbing to see any of the GOP in the same ballpark as HRC. Really, America?
I didn't finish the PDF, but it seems they asked fair questions and not that biased, which is what I expected from CNN. So I'm not sure if these are likely voters or those who won't vote.
The enthusiasm question nearly answered that, but I sure don't see much at DU. If the poll is in any universe correct, the bashers number from 1 to 4% of the electorate. We're in a bubble.
I just don't like to see any sort of complacency about Clinton beating the GOP candidate so far out from the election. I think it's a good rallying cry for those who want her as nominee, and nothing wrong with it.
I'd rather hear that kind of praise and enthusiasm from supporters of Warren, Sanders, etc. The negativity is just sooo Tea Party, Republican, whatever to me.
People don't vote for a negative. But the negativity and personal smears, plus scandal mongering straight out of Breitbart, etc. is what got me defending Hillary.
She was never my candidate, despite her record, which I didn't know all about in terms of civil rights. The interviews of her during Clinton's first campaign when called to answer for Bill's problems, paradoxically, made me ill at ease with her.
She said such things as 'I'm not a stand by your man' woman like the Tammy Wynette song when asked about his sex life. Nor would she be 'sharing brownie recipes.' I thought, why does she even mention it?
Guess living in the South lent that flavor to her discussions, but I didn't want to go there.
Besides, dammit, I was voting for the candidate, not his wife. Then when he got elected, I blamed him for NAFTA. I only learned much later that Bush Sr. had signed it in 1992 and Clinton was stuck with it.
WTO was just more of the same, like TPP is, but the USA has not lost any of those hearings, and it was signed onto in 2005. Where were the labor and other voices in 2005?
The fact is that Asia doesn't need us anymore. We are no longer a superpower. We have to make deals with them. The USA was a third world nation for more year than it's been first world, that's history. We won't sink to the bottom of the sea because of it and Americans are sick and tired of what it takes to maintain empire. Not only that, many of us are culturally against empire, although some aren't.
Pat Buchanan and the Bircher isolationist policies have never really been in the Democratic lexicon. It was the GOP that opposed relations with China because of Communism until their man Nixon started that and they've never looked back. They took full advantage of cheap labor, even slave labor in China, to the deteriment of American workers.
Gotta go do something else.
