Have to wait for conformation to see if this trend is for real.

My bet, it probably is.

The GOPe is not even close to dead. I would argue they're the reason for this decline.

If you're a Cruz supporter, the problem is Cruz doesn't have a path to 1237 delegates. If he's in the race and continues to draw delegates, it will be a brokered convention where the Establishment again will choose the nominee (enter Romney).

If you're a Trump supporter, the same might also be true, although Trump does still have a path.

It was a smart play by the Establishment, likely their only play with the collapse of Rubio.

Still, if you're someone who realizes the total corruption of our current political system and hope to return our governing process back to what the Constitution dictates, our only hope this election cycle, whether you like him or not, is Trump.

We are going to have a great candidate and we’re going to crush Hillary in the election!
March 5, 2014 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 3/5/2016, 6:03:33 PM by Jim Robinson

Folks, we need to keep our eye on the prize and settle down. We are going to have a great pro-America candidate whether it’s Cruz or Trump, and we’re going to crush the godless America-hating Marxist/fascist felon, Hillary Clinton, in the general election! And that’s just a fact.

And that’s the bottom line.

We are finally going to secure our borders and start helping repatriate the illegal aliens to Mexico or where ever they came from. And we’re going to tighten up and start enforcing our immigration laws, including ending sanctuary cities and possibly ending anchor babies. Both of our leading candidates agree on that.

And we’re going to repeal Obamacare, cut taxes, cut spending, cut regulations, cut the government, cut the debt, cut the global balonyism, cut the P/C crap. We’re going to cut the EPA, cut the education dept, cut a whole lot of unconstitutional stuff out of the federal government and let the states control education and other issues that the constitution reserves to them. Both of our guys agree on that.

We’re going to pay more attention to trade deals and get better deals for American industry and American workers for a change. We’re going to bring back capital, bring back manufacturing, bring back jobs! Cutting taxes, cutting government, rolling back regulations and replacing socialism with capitalism will see to a booming Reaganesque economy and that will generate prosperity and jobs. Cruz, Trump and all of us agree on all of that.

We also agree that we want pro-life, pro-family, pro-constitution, pro-America judges. Both our candidates agree with us on that.

We also want to rebuild our military and make it the most powerful force for peace and defense on the planet. We emphasize peace through strength and do not use our military for nation building or social engineering. We understand it’s for blowing the crap out of terrorists and war mongers who wish to do us harm. And both of our candidates are on board for that.

Hillary stands for the exact opposite on all of the above!!

This primary is going to be over soon and we’re all going to have to make a decision. No matter whether Cruz gets it or Trump, we must unite behind OUR candidate and the AMERICAN side and do all we possibly can to get him elected and send the unindicted felon and all around America-hating, liberty-hating traitor, Hillary Clinton to her well deserved next term—in jail.

I say we drop the vitriol against each other and against our leading candidates as of now. We’re only serving to harden the hearts of our natural allies against us and from this point forward, the hit pieces will not change minds or votes, but will possibly feed the enemy propaganda machine.

Lighten up and bring some joy back into our lives and peace on our board.

We’re among friends here.

Thank you all very much.

God bless.

Hotair indeed.

An anti-Trump article (not a poll) by (an) "Allah Pundit"...Imagine that.

Explain why this poll is weighted 32% Dems-25% Rep and 32% Indy voters? There no data to suggest that is a valid polling sample of the current electorate. Why overweight the poll with more D responses?

Not all polling is equal. How they decided the sample mix changes the results.

I agree people are getting tired of the attack ads. They just shut them off and pay no attention. They will support their candidate on the merits. There may be some impact on Trump but not much. Romney made a mistake inserting himself into the campaign. He is already considered a loser and has minimal credibility. We tried it his way and it failed. This time we are going a different way.

“Not all polling is equal. How they decided the sample mix changes the results.”

I know, but considering an MSNBC poll more legit just because it shows Trump in a more positive light? Come on now.

It would be interesting to review the daily events and/or Trump statements of the day for each step up on that chart. Also, I cannot remember the exact date of the Paris and San Bernardino attacks but I suspect it was around the time that the Ben Carson line starts to drop.

You of all people should take a deep breath, calm down, actually read the post and actually start applying it to your postings.

Your responses proves the point that you are one of the chief offenders that article was directed at.

If it gets to a brokered convention and Romney is picked it will be the end of the Republican party as we know it. Lots of Republicans will leave the party. Trump would probably run third party and there would be no chance for a Republican win. If the Democrats capture the White House for another 4 years they will complete the transformation of America into a socialist state.

I suppose they figure why do the dirty work of destroying a serious republican threat to Hillary when the republicans will do it for them.


Well stated. Also it keeps the focus off Hilly and her outright Clintonesque Classified. Bill Hemmer did a very credible job this morning using Judge Napolitanos statement to Lanny “ the smiling Liar” Davis to debunk the fact that there is no Classified designation. There are defined categories. Classified is Hillys version, used successfully in the Fox sponsored town hall last night to avoid that fact. Bret Baier should have nailed her with it then.

Major psyops by the Establishment today to try and sway tonight’s vote. Most polls still show Trump way ahead nationally and ahead in most upcoming states. But the occasional outliers are touted and made major stories “Trump is fading, etc”. Also as I speak CNN is once again implying Hitler crowds at Trump rallies.

It’s insane and desperate.

METHODOLOGY:

This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline and cellular telephone March 3-6, 2016, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 1,000 adults. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points, including the design effect, for the full sample; 5.5 points for registered leaned Republicans; and 6.0 points for registered leaned Democrats. Partisan divisions are 34-25-32 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents.

Nice try at propaganda.

Thinking more like ‘make it go away’.

Either way. Trump is having trouble sustaining ‘the Trump Train’ :(

He isn’t a perfect candidate by any means but if you are a Trump supporter, a vote for anyone else is same old, same old.

I truly believe the Gope and the Democrats are one in the same. Under my belief, they don't really care which party controls, as the agenda is the same.

Thanks for posting that. Whether it’s Cruz or Trump, doesn’t matter to me. I like them both, especially Cruz. At this point, may the best guy win. The winner will have an easier time beating Hillary than the one that loses. Beating Hillary is the ultimate goal. Thank God one or both of the leadng candidates (at this point) is not Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio. We should ALL be happy about that.

May the best man win.
