Still like her better than Bernie.

Cruz was asked on Fox News' "O'Reilly Factor" if he would round up the 12 million illegal aliens in the country, and how.

"Listen, we should enforce the law. How do we enforce the law? Yes, we should deport them. We should build a wall. We should triple the Border Patrol," Cruz said. "And federal law requires that anyone here illegally that's apprehended should be deported."

I hate your generation.

I'll take Bernie, but only if there's a strongly Republican congress to keep him in check.

On the Democratic side, both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders used mostly positive language early on, according to Petralia's analysis. Though in the Feb. 11 debate – which fell shortly after primaries actually got underway – sentiments went a little bit south.

Among the Republican candidates, Ted Cruz, Rubio and the now departed Jeb Bush were mostly positive, while Chris Christie, who dropped out of the race after the New Hampshire primary, sometimes delved relatively deeply into the negative.

Donald Trump was by far the most negative candidate, dipping to even 13 percent in one debate, meaning only 13 percent of the phrases he used were positive.

I'm more in yours than the gen after me.

That's what I'm banking on. That dude is guaranteed gridlock.

If you're leaning towards Sanders, I'm calling you part of that clueless, pathetic generation that trailed mine.

but I'm concerned Bernie for president motivates the young "give me everything without having to work for it" generation and carries the Senate and possible the House as well.

You, sir, sound like a criminal.

I think Hillary can deal with Putin better than Sanders.

"The president has to apologize and postpone the meeting again. It seems there was a third hard disk failure and all her preparation notes have to be redone from scratch. We're going to handwrite them and make photocopies this time."

"Hey Vlad, we've got to push this back again. Our Xerox machines got hit by a North Korean computer virus. It also seems none of our pens have ink, and that's fucked up because our invoice clearly states we paid ten thousand dollars for each. You figure they'd have ink, but anyhow, we're busying importing pencils from the finest schools in the D.C. area. It's going to take a little longer than we estimated due to our couriers continually getting caught in gang crossfire and random shootings. The burnout meth cooks in this town use the pencils as filler in their local 'Potomac Piss' blend."


He really looks like the left-wing Cheney in that one.

Also, I don't want Bernie representing this country to foreign officials. I think Hillary can deal with Putin better than Sanders.

if you think Bernie is somehow less scaly and slippery than any other politician
