“Trump won the election with that one response to Cruz on trade with China. I can’t believe Cruz walked right into that trap.”

Wasn’t that a great clip? I don’t even think it was a trap. I just think Cruz is so short-signed (there are better words) that he can’t think past the “next step”. Couldn’t comprehend that the end result will be jobs in China returning to the USA.

The bubble over Trump’s head: “What a schmuck. What a light weight.”

I’ve seen him once or twice. My nephew is in middle school (jr high) and he has Home Room.

I had just typed my post above about concerns about BLM protests in St. Louis. Was going through the articles on the main FR page and saw this one:

Black Lives Matter Plans Major Disruptions at Trump STL Rally (1000+ Have Signed Up)

The St. Louis Progressive Students Organization is organizing major disruptions at Donald Trump’s rally at the Peabody Opera House in downtown St. Louis.

One thousand people have signed up as interested in attending the disturbance. 317 have committed to attend the rally and raise hell. From their Facebook page:

“ The fascist Donald Trump is coming to our city this Friday. It is our job and our duty to unite to #ShutItDown.

He is a genius. He’s very focused when people talk to him. His answers last night were like he filtered them through his computer brain and then spoke. He doesn’t drink or smoke or do drugs, that’s why he’s sharp.

He will not let people hide from him. He will not go home, or avoid you. He’s amazing.

Trump dominaTED.

Every topic discussed was initially pioneered by Trump, and the other three tried desperately to look and sound like Trump.

It did not work.

Folks, be in prayer for Trump’s safety today.

Florida is the firewall, and by all accounts that firewall will not hold for the GOP-E.

Last night’s debate sealed that Trump will win this primary and be the nominee.

There are powerful forces in the DC Cartel in both “parties” that don’t want to see this happen.

In St. Louis and Chicago—massive disruptions and protests are planned.

This is designed to paint Trump in the worst possible light.

If we can get through today, these tactics will be revealed as the last dying gasp of the old order.

So, please pray for Trump, because that is also a prayer for a new future that is finally dawning.

Trump coming up on Fox in a few minutes

There’s a post on the Carson endorsing Trump thread that people are really trashing Carson on his FB page. I’d go and include supportive comments, but I don’t FB. If any of you do, you might want to help him out.

“There’s a post on the Carson endorsing Trump thread that people are really trashing Carson on his FB page. I’d go and include supportive comments, but I don’t FB. If any of you do, you might want to help him out.”

You mean people who don’t support Trump are being arseholes?

You don’t say.

[hoosiermama]

Thanks. Caught The DonAld on FF. I understand what he is saying about “ a lot of them. Even within our country FerretCON and followers hate You can’t change something without recognizing the problem. He’s naming the issue

[TornadoAlley3]

Trump should welcome crowd first, then acknowledge their frustration and say please do not touch protesters. He should announce to protesters he loves free speech but this is a private event. If Trump supporters and protesters fight anyway, well the media knows he is not to blame.

[Seattle Conservative]

It might be helpful if it came from Mr. T. When I’ve been able to hear people speak before he comes out, someone says do not touch the protesters - point them out and yell USA or Trump (forget which).

[Seattle Conservative]

Yes, he is.

Just read this very good article about Cruz and the Bushes (link below).

This guy is supposedly a great economist and one of the original TEA party founders/members. Read a couple of the 5 star reviews on Amazon for his book Leverage, and they gave great reviews.

The Two incidents with media were both when they pushed out of their designated area. First one at least admitted he was 18 inches out of space.
This gal was obviously reaching in the ask a question. Secret service is not going to let anyone near him or in his space. He can reach out to them but they must not push toward him

[McGruff]

I’m at work today. Would appreciate any updates on the Trump Press Conference.

[onyx]

Enough of this overblown incident and trumped up media cause!

Protestors take their chances in large crowds!

Marco Rubio rally where dude is taken out. Where's the outrage?

[Future Useless Eater]

At Realclearpolitics, there is only one poll shown for Missouri, and its VERY old (August).

But it shouldn't be that way, because there was a significant poll in December.

www.moscout.com
MISSOURI REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT PRIMARY POLL

Survey conducted December 18 through December 19, 2015. 1,528 likely Republican Presidential Primary voters participated in the survey.

Q: If the Republican Primary Election for President of the United States were held today, for whom would you vote?

     Donald Trump: 33% 
     Ted Cruz:     23% 
     Marco Rubio:  12% 
     John Kasich:   1% 
     Ben Carson:       8% 
     Jeb Bush:         3% 
     Chris Christie:   3% 
     Carly Fiorina:    2% 
     Rand Paul:        1% 
     Undecided:       14% 

On top of that, the August poll that RCP is keeping around contained additional data that is relevant. Many candidates have dropped out since August, so for that poll it may be better to look at what were people's (first + second) preferences:

MISSOURI AUGUST 2015
Combined (First + Second Choices)
     Trump 33%
     Cruz  20%
     Rubio 15%
     Kasich 7% 

Notice that those two polls really are not THAT different.

Now add to that, the constant polling that is gathered by iSideWith.com, which for the latest 30 days has been as follows for Missouri...

MISSOURI Feb-March 2016 (latest 30 days)
     Trump  35%
     Rubio  21%
     Cruz   18%
     Kasich  7% 

So, based on theese polls, and recent sentiment in Missouri, this state SHOULD be Donald's on Tuesday. 

The iSideWith.com data also breaks down each candidate's strength per district, so Donald's and Ted's delegate haul can be estimated as follows:

                                            Likely     Likely
                                            Trump      Cruz
            Trump    Cruz   Rubio  Kasich  Delgates   Delegates
District 1   34%     16%    16%    13%        5          0
District 2   32%     14%    25%    11%        5          0
District 3   39%     17%    20%     7%        5          0
District 4   33%     16%    20%     8%        5          0
District 5   27%     17%    22%    11%        5          0
District 6   32%     19%    12%    12%        5          0
District 7   23%     25%    19%     4%        0          5
District 8   49%     16%    11%     4%        5          0
statewide winner......................        9          0
                                            ===         ==
                             Total Delgates: 44          5

One flaw with this estimate is that Ted Cruz thinks he can take the state away from Donald by visiting the region FOUR times this week.
Ted will visit Columbia Mo, which staddles Districts 3 and 4 where Trump is VERY strong.
He is visiting District 2 (St. Louis suburbs) where Trump is also very strong.
And he will twice visit the suburbs of St. Louis on the Illinois side. Donald is very strong there too.

Hopefully Mr Trump realizes he can expand his beautiful solid block of red states, and keep Ted's yellow states from connecting, if he also keeps his eye on Missouri.

Donald needs to paint Missouri RED to eventually connect sea-to-shining-sea.

Regarding the spamming of the Drudge poll last night by the guy in Delaware.

For the record, let me state:

IT WASN’T ME!

[austinaero]

Another reminder - Debbie Dooley one of the (many) Tea Party founders is endorsing Trump!

[Seattle Conservative]

Hi Onyx,

I saw that article about a Rubio protester earlier - interesting that the MSM is mum on it. Heard the guy that punched the protester at the Trump rally was arrested.

Geraldo actually making some good comments on F&F re Trump and Carson. Said he didn’t like Cruz and he couldn’t help it but every time he looks at him he sees Grandpa Munster - LOL! Wonder if he reads FR ;-)

[austinaero]

There’s a new pic circulating on Twitter that shows reporterette Fields putting her hand on Trump and an SS agent is right there. It wasn’t Corey that touched her. She is stepping right between SS agents and touching Trump’s arm. She should know better.

[Seattle Conservative]

Oh - didn’t know that - cool!
