Are you STILL stuck on stupid and in need of hemmeroid cream? If so; just stop posting for a while.

2nd post some jackass starts talking trash. People who want us unified in should just let the primary be history. I am not a turn the other cheek kind of guy. Coming up on 18 years on this list and will post when it pleases me.

I’ve been here almost as long as you have and am NOT a “turn the check kind of guy” either. Unification is nice...why don’t YOU at least try to fake it, instead of still being a trash Trump kinda guy?

Yes, you did, but you've also been posting kinda anti-Trump replies. I get that you're torn, but what good does it do anyone, least of all you, to post negative replies ?

Look, nobody says that you have to be cheerleader, but negative posts serve no good purpose.

OMG! The article is as plain as day.

The sky didn't fall - just the tent that was over another campaign. It'll be OK.

Just as we needed to wait until about March to find out whether or not Cruz was going to take off and smash Trump, we need to wait longer to see how things shake out - Trump has been concentrating on Hillary of late, her problems are getting worse by the hour, and Bernie will be unmasked when it becomes necessary.

Too many angles to be able to decipher the true data/situation right now.

Not to mention, the MSM is just now starting to "cover" Hillary's issue and is doing so with great aversion and still trying to sprinkle powdered sugar on turds to make them (her) seem savory.

Bernie's only real "coverage" is that he's being such a thorn in Hillary's side - nothing with what his policies would actually do and they would do even more damage than Obama's in many ways - many Dems are really upset with Obama's "betrayals" and Bernie's would further set them back.

I responded to toddausauras post #2 twisting the knife. You don’t go into a Vicksburg, MS bar and make fun of R. E. Lee.

Reality is that many of the best financial, legal, military, business and political minds belong to conservatives. These are people Trump will need. These people want to be respected not japed at that they backed a loser. That is a reality that also must be looked at.

Oh get over yourself and the LYING, LOSER, FRAUD Cruz!

You backed an ineligible phony, he lost, and ruined his future in politics to boot.

You want "respect" ? THEN EARN IT, BY NOT POSTING LIKE A CHILD GOING THROUGH THE TERRIBLE TWOS !

And here I thought an (almost) 18 year member of this group had the wit to think beyond the primary fight. When Hillary takes the nomination Sanders’ supporters will run back to the queen sow because Democrats are sheep. Conservatives are not. We have to be convinced.

“Are you going to vote for Trump or just not vote since your man, Cruz has lost out?????”

Well, Trump isn’t really trying too hard to court my vote, and I live in MN, so it doesn’t really matter that much anyway.

“Where I have trouble understanding this is that the current polls are Hillary and Trump, no Bernie in site. So if a Bernie supporter is polled, do they choose Hillary or Trump? And do they stick by that in the general?

Just not clear on how wrapping up the Dem primary changes much. “

I think you have to look at the specific numbers, and right now, there are a lot of undecideds. For example, when you have polls that say, for instance (and I’m not sure this is an actual poll but I’ve seen polls like this) Trump 43 HRC 38, you know Hillary’s final number will not be in the 30s, so I assume some of that is Bernie voters who don’t like either candidate.

I've been a student of and involved in politics all of my life. Not only have I a good feel for it, but was taught by some of the best of the best backroom boys. Please don't confuse me with those who are 1) political naifs 2) believe what they hear on the radio/T.V. 3) fall for hype 4) elev ate pols ( and others ) to heights where mere mortals don't dwell.

Many of the Bernie supporters will NEVER vote for Hillary, nor Biden. They'll either not bother to vote, or vote for Trump.

Dems are sheep, but some stupid GOP voters/Conservatives are damned DOGS IN THE MANGER !

"Convinced" ? Convinced of what...that NOT having Hillary as president is a GOOD thing? If THAT is the case, then said people are too damned stupid to be allowed to vote!

The hope is that about 30% of Sanders suporters go to Trump. Problem is that Hillary is closer to the socialists than Trumps is percieved being to the conservatives. I think that 25% of disaffecteds of either party won’t vote for either major candidate.

My interpretation of the article posted by 2ndDivisionVet is that after Hillary gets Bernie out of the way, then Hillary beats Trump. I call BS!
