Sorry, just had to make fun of the math wizards around here. Even for Newt, math is hard.

Considering the length of his first place polling, you'd have to put his chances at around 50%, or even a bit on the plus side of that.

Hillary is holding together with chicken wire and can’t even finish a debate. Trump will turn her into road kill.

Trump will not be in the general election.

Are you planning to write him in?

“First place” polling in arbitrary fashion for events far in the future is without meaning.

Noot is going by the general degree of rejection of Trump, and the fact that dropouts have not raised his numbers, but have raised others numbers.

The figure he gave is not his own, but that of the majority of statisticians in the mix.

It's not so arbitrary to say that Trump has been the number one candidate in virtually all polls for several months. It's been consistently high against other challengers, all other challengers. Cruz has been gaining, Rubio has been gaining, but Trump has as well.

I don't think there is any figure from "the majority of statisticians" that Newt is quoting; I think he's wrong here, that he's underestimating what Trump's chances are. It's more likely that Trump is going to register more real votes than polling shows than the reverse, simply because lots of people don't want to be seen as supporting someone who the media considers racist. It's how people sometimes respond to this PC crap.

I've been saying for months now that this is Trump's race to win or lose, and that only Trump can take out Trump. He may lose, things are still not written in stone, but I think it's getting more and more unlikely.

Several long term FReepers have no credibility whatsoever. Others are brimming with intelligence.
You don’t understand my choice of Trump because you can’t weigh important things like reality. You’re so stuck on a “Doctrine” of what makes a conservative shoveled out by those who are only a step away from RINO status that you fail to see the truth. Cruz is willing to give away our Sovereignty and is way too soft on illegals. His votes, his editorials, and his speeches are proof. He is FAR from being a conservative. I am “fascinated” by no candidate. You, on the other hand, have been glued and tattooed to your choice of Cruz and will soon be screwed.

Thank you! Most of the time it’s a pleasure to be here. Once in a while however, it’s discouraging to see how far from reality some people are. Maybe too much Star Wars...ya think?

Yeah, I remember Dewey was falsely announced as the winner. Maybe you had something to do with that?

“How to lie with statistics” was a favorite class at my university.

And I have to assume he’s not interested in dimwitted transparent leftist trolls who show up just to stir up crap, having expressed no interest in FR prior to Trump’s appearance.

I could spot you 25 IQ points and still be a 5:2 favorite.

Kinda like Cruz versus Trump.

That bet you would lose, hands down. Don’t even think to go there.

Stale stuff from Newt. A lot of words signifying nothing. Just to keep his name up front. I could have done better than he did in this lame article.

Go can some peaches for a while, Newt, and come back with some original thoughts and an endorsement for Trump (....but he'll never have the peach pits to do so, I'm afraid.)
