In about six or seven hours, we should be getting a good idea as to the turnout. If the turnout is large, that will bode well for non establishment candidates. If it's just an average turnout, it will be disappointing after all these months of hoopla no matter how it turns out.

If this election cycle does not motivate people to get out and vote in large numbers, than we may be beyond the point of no return.

“Trump has edged past Cruz in the Hawkeye State over the past few weeks but on Monday shied away from predicting a win over his GOP rivals.”

If nothing else, Mr. Trump is a humble man.

Well dont you know, from what I heard, none of those people are even going to show up because it’s going to snow tomorrow, and besides they just went out into the cold for rallies because they wanted to see a “TV star”, and the rest dont have cars, and they cant read either!!!

What is your source of what you hear? Or is it wishful thinking.

Name recognition.

Today in the USA we are more interested in fame and popularity than we are in what is best for our country.

Heh.

It’s just a sarcastic compilation of all of the stuff I’ve read Cruz people post as to why no one will actually show up for Trump. :^P

That quote has it so wrong. Conservatives are some of the most caring/giving people there are, and it’s not with other peoples money.

Seems smart then to raise voting age to 30.

My fears are that today’s 30 year olds will still be voting Socialist at 50. They just don’t experience the same life events to correct their point of view (like marriage and children at age 24).

Nobody knows how many Trump supporters will show up. Which makes it exciting.
