Debunked way back when he first announced. He’s not a Clinton plant. Nice try, though.
You're right. The conservative base that refused to support Romney will not support Trump. The number may actually be larger just because unlike Romney, who was a gentleman, Trump is a crude, bombastic, liar who can't articulate a thought beyond a simple phrase.
I chalk up a lot of Trump's rough edges to his not having been in politics before. He shoots from the hip and I like that. He's politically incorrect and I like that. I admit I do wince occasionally at some things he says, but I try not to micro-manage him and I don't monitor his day-to-day comments just to shift loyalties like the blowing wind.
I had a college friend who emailed me the other day and said they were for Trump until the last Saturday night debate. They decided to change their support for another candidate because of something he said and wanted me to do the same. I don't watch the so-called "debates" (they are not really debates but more soundbite opportunities for the media--I call them a waste of time well spent) but I told him that if the criteria for changing candidates was something a candidate said I disagreed with, then I would be changing to someone different every week. No one candidate voices exactly what everyone of their supporters think. I am not a one-issue voter.
Is that right??????? Trump not only doesn’t sound like what you call him, but he jumps to the front of the line on a lot of things. Glad you stated your ideas and thinking!
Are we maybe taking the idea of purity a *bit* too far?
Nobody on either side has won enough delegates to win the nomination. And depending on what happens tomorrow Trump could springboard himself into an almost unstoppable position and Hillary could begin her decline if Bernie pulls off Nevada.
Will that happen tomorrow? I do not know. I am fairly confidant that Trump will win South Carolina, if he loses it will shuffle the deck for the GOP. Hillary is sinking, is it fast enough? Will it trigger a domino effect. And what will the Democrat Party do? Uncle Joe to the rescue? It would two old farts that hard to distinguish the difference in opinions and appearance.
Bottom line, to me General Election match-up polls do not mean anything, the GOP has too many people still in the race, the Dem race is now a dead heat. So those polls don't mean a................
Remember when liberals couldn’t wait to run against Reagan because he was too crazy to ever win a national election?
Yeah.
Good times.
Quick- get her in front of a microphone!! Hillary “ain’t no ways tired” and really needs to keep up the pandering. The younger people I work with are repelled by it and see her as an unlikeable fraud. In a normal world, crazy Bernie would never have a shot but he is somehow seen as honest and sane. If he can keep his fervent appeal with the young and stupid, I’m thinking the resentment, anger and distrust that they will feel when the nomination is stolen by her will make them finally “feel the burn” and alienate them even more than Juan McCain and Mittens did to us. Somehow, an awkward, inarticulate and impersonal fossil promising unicorns and rainbows has formed an emotional bond— the GOP nominee would just need to put out ad after ad of her shrieking, cackling, pandering and nagging audio to remind them they’d been screwed and many of them would likely sit this one out.
Yep. And Trump does put his foot in his mouth on occasion, but I also weigh that against a) what his overall point was and b) the pearl-clutching reaction from the people that hate him and want him to lose at all cost. Your friend was probably referring to Trump saying the Iraq war was a mistake, it’s been something the haters have grabbed on to, and while Trump was not on his best game (which I can understand considering he was being boo’d constantly by the stacked RNC crowd), his overall point was “look where this got us, we shouldn’t pick these same people to be in charge again and again”, which I wholeheartedly agree with.
“hypothetical polls”
How is that different from “making things up?”
There’s an island waiting for you in Canada. You won’t have to associate with us anymore.
Please move this thread to Breaking Silliness.
Plugs. Remember the "I'm not running for President" campaign announcement?
I wish Bennett had developed the idea set forth in his first sentence. I’ve considered that to be a danger since early on, and think it ever more likely as time passes.
Wow! Today’s winner for most immature post.....
:^)
I wonder what Trump supporters think of his announced support of the obamacare mandate, or his comment that his cabinet would included Rats.
Difficult finding any truth in this article, Cruz gives it a thumbs up.
“Trump know this as well, he is in it to lose it to Hellary, he’s her BFF”
How many people would have to be keeping that secret, if it were true?
In my view, far too many.
By now, people trying to make themselves look important would have passed it steadily down the food chain until it rolled out onto the street.
It hasn’t. Therefore, it isn’t true.
Delusions of Grandeur is a case of Mental Disturbance, and Trump has it bad, he is a figment of his own imagination.
The man can't go ONE day without changing what he said yesterday, and calling someone a liar who points that out.
But Hey, he's your guy.......you have been warned many times on FR......
