Showing Original Post only (View all)Which of the Top 3 Republican Candidates worries you the most? [View all]
Trump, Cruz, or Rubio. I am not sure myself. Trump is so extreme that while he's kind of crazy, I don't know if he will be able to govern the way he wants to. I also doubt his genuine commitment to the "social" issues.
Cruz is almost as extreme, but given slightly better self control than Trump, he may emerge as the "reasonable" alternative to Trump, being able to Govern. That's counterbalanced by his performance in Congress which has been to demand everything and refuse to take anything less.
Rubio might be the most dangerous - he probably actually is more reasonable than Trump and Cruz, and he may be able to actually work with Congress to get more bad things done than either of them could.
So I'm torn.

The point is that loyal Democrats will vote for Hillary and almost all Repubs will vote against her.

Rubio is somewhat of a sociopath, sleazy friends and lying at the drop of a hat
