END OF MESSAGE

...... Conservative Politicians have long favored private prisons because they’re supposed to save taxpayer money. However in reality they have not: Private prisons’ relatively cheaper operating cost has not translated into lower costs to taxpayers. For-profit prisons typically house less-serious offenders, who are less costly to maintain. Private prison employees receive less training, lower pay and benefits. Yet, the contract cost to state and federal government remains about the same as the per-prisoner cost of publicly operated prisons.

... are you fucking kidding me???

"According to Open Secrets, the second-largest for-profit prison operator in the country, GEO Group, is one of the top contributors to Marco Rubio's presidential campaign. Between 2013 and 2014, GEO Group gave Rubio $41,500, more than any other presidential candidate. The group is the ninth highest contributor to Rubio's campaign.

Is that a problem? Prison reform advocates think so, pointing to Rubio's actions as an elected official that have helped for-profit prisons — including a $110 million state contract that went to GEO back when he was Speaker of the Florida House. "

That's a heck of a Return On Investment.

So Rubio and Clinton are neck and neck with the flaccid Jeb a distant third...

sounds like a mainstream projection indeed.

....had to give to the PPL in return. This is exactly why I can't support Hillary Clinton. To me, it's a no-brainer. They're not giving her money for nothing in return. Many of her minority supporters are victims of the same private prison industrial complex supporting her and are clueless to this fact

I don't see any politician as a hero or role model. I find  most will most lie and cheat their  
  way to office and lie much more when they have foolish followers under their spell.
   I've been noticing  more  of Trump's  great qualities as a leader and less in Rubio.
      I'm starting to believe  Rubio is too  gung ho with an authoritarian side.
   
  Anyone with common sense should  realize, after looking at the US current failures across the globe, and at home , the US can't be the  warden of the world and take care of our own business.  
  How many trillions  under the current  administration's foolhardy ways and the administration before, have been wasted like our leaders are spoiled children with unearned allowance ?  

  The current administration  has clearly shown by their numerous failures when meddling across the globe, America  need a President willing to make help America gain respect  lost in vain.
   
    Rubio is looking more and more like the crazy exhausted old lady with his hawkish ways.
   
               I'm changing my support to Trump, to make America greater than ever  
                            and end unnecessary wars.

 I don't have a problem with the private prison concept. IMO a private company will do much better than the F the Feds usually earn, in almost every enterprise they've  been involved with.
    The Feds had their chance running prisons for too many years and failed miserably.
    I'd give private enterprise more time to learn how to run prisons efficiently.
    I'd like  like to see more competitive bidding among Private prison hopefuls.
     
    I've never seen so many politicians in one election I wouldn't support.
   
   I was thinking earlier today about the what if's coming soon, and what would I do.  

   For the GOP nomination
 Ted Cruz against anyone, I'm supporting  anyone.
 Jeb against anyone, I'm supporting anyone.
 Rubio against anyone, Trump is the only one that can lead me away from supporting Rubio.
 Christie against anyone, has he been  informed  he's already lost, though recent polls  
    would disagree with me.  
 
       General election
   Ted Cruz against the red neck, racist, crazy, over rated, exhausted lady, I'd vomit first and support Ted Cruz.

  Rubio against the red neck, racist, crazy, over rated, exhausted lady, I wouldn't vomit but I'd know I was supporting the same old status quo that's breaking the bank when I support Rubio over crazy..
   

   Trump against anyone, I'm supporting Trump, if only for the fact he'll slow down  the criminal  
    invasion and  start the process to balance our books.  
   
   We know we have an  overloaded prison problem, Trump would help alleviate that.  
   
    Another plus I've mentioned about Trump,due to his  positive self esteem, he won't  
     feel the need to meddle in other counties where we don't belong trying to make free  
      nations out of countries  full of stone age heathens, like President Bush and President Obama
     failed at..
   
    I believe,  both Bush and President Obama, had good intentions but the only thing they succeeded at was raising the misery index of "every" country where they supported democracy.
      The World needs a reprieve from ignorant guidance and excessive USA authority,
    drawing lines in playgrounds where they don't belong

    Bernie Sanders against the GOP nominee, even though Bernie stands for so much I don't agree with, I  believe he would be a better choice for the country's future, than anyone except Trump or Rubio.
   I am fairly certain Bernie wouldn't spend his mornings, wondering which foreign  country he's going to try to influence today with American dollars or military strength.
       
     I really don't believe the red neck, racist, crazy, over rated, exhausted lady will still be standing on her own on election day.   She is already too exhausted to  give Bernie the few more debates he deserves.  
     I also have the impression millions of Democrats have  becoming exhausted with her
