Putin can’t wait to play Donald for the jejune nitwit he will be on the world stage. If Trump becomes President, we can kiss the Baltic countries goodbye. Putin will annex that shit faster than Donald can pull a building permit in Manhattan. Trump will still be kissing up to him while he marches through Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Trump: I like leaders, especially those who kill their enemies. Whats exactly wrong with killing the opposition party? What good are democrats for this country.
Palin: I now like Putin’s head in Alaskan sky. So adorable and powerful.
As if T rump could win a negotiation with Putin.
Jeb!: Rubio is inexperienced. My brother looked into Putin’s eyes and found a trustworthy partner for USofA. I will always follow great leaders like Dubya over Rubio, who incidentally doesnt know how to drink water on national TV.
Now, now – gotta give the man some credit.
Trump: “See! Look what I got for us! – I got the right to start construction of Trump Towers: Moscow!”

Looks like you wrote a long riff on “if” he becomes president just to take on Putin. He won’t. He makes a lot of noise, the ignorant people that follow him make a lot of noise, mass media give him a lot of attention, none of it adds up to a thoughtful candidate who’s smart enough to govern, and more people know that is reported on. Most importantly he doesn’t get the Latino, women, immigrant, or disabled vote. The Democratic candidate will win the nomination and will win the election.

But which Republican candidate can take on Putin in a wet t-shirt contest? Or who can emulate that gun slinger’s walk? These need to be shown at the next Republican debate.

When Trump gets insulted, he tends to sue. That usually gets them to shut up. I don’t think that strategy will work very well on the international stage. But Trump won’t win, so it doesn’t matter.

Marco and the rest of the Republican WATB Brigade still can’t get it through their cement-filled heads that the Teabagger base that they created LOVES the idea of a dictator like Putin, and would LOVE to have Trump and a Republican congress act the same way, destroying the rights of people they disagree with while pampering their horrendous, insane, and dangerous prejudices by enshrining them into federal law.
There was a reason the guillotine was used so frequently during the French Revolution, and the people it was used against still exist, and they still haven’t learned their lessons. These people are now called the Republican Party.

Rubio would love Putin ( anybody, in fact) to endorse him, this is just sour grapes…
Well, I was really looking at the Putin “endorsement” of Trump and the fact Trump is so pleased by it. Putin’s endorsement should be a kiss of death, as far as I’m concerned.

Good God. I just hope Trump doesn’t start campaigning without a shirt on.
Remember Donald, it doesn’t make you look strong or tough if you’re doughier than a marshmallow.

Marco Rubio is a candidate I would never support, but this is a reasonable and accurate statement by him. I imagine the opinion will have little resonance, as sanity and reason aren’t likely to have any traction with the GOP Primary voters.

“Jejune?” Wow! I don’t think I’ve seen “jejune” in the past 20 years.
When are we–esp. the media and the chattering class–going to realize that No-Show is an empty suit?
Marco Rubio is right.
…and with all that said [from Rubio], half of the GOP establishment and pundits fawn over him and imply they’d prefer to have him over Obama.
Reconcile that, Rubio.

That’s absolutely right! Fox News had a love-fest with him and routinely fawned over him. Well said.
