Carville predicted presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz will gain the 30% who currently support Donald Trump in the Republican primary once he flames out.

I hope he is right on this.

I think he is right. Cruz is keeping it close to the vest and going out of his way to stay out of Trump’s way. If Trump stays in it to the end, then someone’s going to get Trump’s delegates if this goes to a convention and at this point Cruz is the only one who hasn’t raised his voice against Trump. If it goes to a convention, then Trump alone may very well decide who gets the nomination.

95% of the FReepers that support Trump have said the same thing. The Martian must be reading FR.

"What do you think?"

I think James underestimates the disdain the average GOP voter has for the GOP.

I believes it's 60-70%.

Think of Trump as an old school fullback. He uses two downs to gain seven yards by pioneer going the defense into submission.
Then a smoothie quarter or halfback takes it to the end zone.
After the game, Trump is given the game ball and made WH assistant-at-large and in charge of Media Relations, e.g. “OK. We’re going to close the Arizona border for a couple months. Think of of it as summer work on I-70. That’s all. Beat it.”

I don’t know what it is about this “Send the cave troll in there Hep me Deep with the dynamite” strategy that some here can’t seem to grasp. They act like chickens having spotted a weasel headed their way. He’s OUR force majeure.

I have said the same thing; just let Trump run, not only is Trump helping Cruz, Trump is causing other candidates to fall so far behind they will never catch up, the field will be scaled down soon enough and I am confident the last man standing will be Cruz; then he will defeat whatever democrat is in the general in a style reminiscent of Reagan.

I hate it when he is right but in this case he is.

Trump represents his supporters. Same with all the candidates. So when supporters of one candidate think they are helping their candidate by bashing another, they couldn’t be more wrong.

We need to bash ideas, not people And by ideas I mean positions, not words.

When I said he was right I meant it narrowly on the first point. The supporters are there whether Trump is or not. They only feel slighted when their candidate is pushed out.

Carville is a democrat who wants democrats to win. He knows exactly who and what the republican base are. History shows that if you piss that base off enough they sit at home unlike democrats.

This is a game for him.

Carville is no dummy. He is, in fact, a very smart man and an astute political observer.

But he will, without hesitation, shade his observations if he feels that will be an advantage to the Democratic party. So you can never tell if he's being candid or not. And that makes his observations almost worthless.

I don’t give a damn what Carvile says. If his lips are moving, he’s lying. His whole career has been being a Clinton butt-boy.

Carville is terrified. He knows that Trump has built a solid foundation before he has even begun to campaign. He will soon be pushing 40.

Pray America is waking

I would pay lot of money to watch Cruz debate Hillary, one on one.

We play just as much outrage when he said what he said about Senator McCain.


The Washington elite believe he honor and revere these esteemed politicians. But the truth is we see clowns like McCain as sleazeballs and gasbags.

Trumps supporters are people like me. I've given up on Republicans. Democrats were dead to me a long time ago. There's one big, giant, corrupt party enabled by the the media who conspire to shut out anybody they don't want and buy off or blackmail everyone else.

I don't know what they'll do to Trump. Or Cruz or Carson. I can bet though that there will be death threats. Trump I don't think would back down. I like to think Cruz wouldn't but he's got young kids and he might decide it's just not worth it. Carson would say it's not worth it.
