...voter interviews on Thursday at campaign events for his rivals.

That bears repeating - all the anti Trump sentiment is coming from supporters of the other candidates. At this late phase in the process anyone going to a campaign event for the lower tier candidates is a supporter, and probably even a campaign volunteer. No surprise that they all have talking points at the ready.

I guess next week the New York Times will go to some Clinton campaign events and ask the people there (if they can find any) what they think about Bernie Sanders.

"I've never met a single one of them," Mr. Cleveland said about those said to be backing Mr. Trump. "Where are all these Trump supporters? Everyone we know is supporting somebody else."

Hollis is a Republican town, voting for Romney in 2012. Mr. Cleveland just needs to expand his circle of friends somewhat.

Will never ever link to the slimes, yet agree that conclusion in the NYT merits consideration. What does Trump really stand for ? Trump chumpions refuse to acknowledge the guy changes his positions the way the wind bows. Here’s a guy who says one thing then turns around and does the opposite.

If Trump does believe in less government intervention then why did he, lets make a deal, support expanded use and subsidies of Ethanol ? Unless he does believe in expanded and run away government? And by the way whats his positon on government seizure of private property for corporate purposes ? He’s a fraud !

How can his supporters defend this ? Because they choose not to and like smokers standing outside a tavern bitching and moaning because they are requitred by law to do so. Do they really beilieve the phoney feel good excuses rendered by their politicians whom rhey should throw out.

So, none of these old farts knows how to use a computer or the internet — is that what they’re saying? Because the information is all out there, more than perhaps in any previous election cycle. Every speech, position papers, it’s all there.

If you read between the lines, the author pretty much says it was just her impressions from walking around. She probably skipped over all the people with the “Make America Great Again” hats and jackets.

Naturally, this also means that 90% of N.H. GOP voters are not for Bush or Rubio and 85% are not for Cruz. With only 68% not for Trump, I’d say Trump is WAY ahead in the “not for” category!

It’s more than that however. I don’t think for a second he wrote a single one of them. Every hear him succinctly speak about them within a debate? Or succinctly talk about these positions with great specificity? He should be able to if that is truly what he believe and if he wrote them. Either he did and im a fool and he in turn is verbally challenged. Or he did not which makes clear why verbally he cannot form a coherent thought.

Either case is not good

I'm not implying that he should email every potential voter, so I can't see how your point follows from mine, which was that info about him is readily available on teh net. He has posted position papers over his signature on his campaign site, his business site is magnificent and lenghty, and there are many other articles by a variety of sources on the net as well.

From the point of view about our truly dire economic situation at this time, he has the most to offer of any candidate. He knows how to think about global issues, he knows how to define problems accurately and create measurable approaches and execution plans, he knows how to assemble teams to work on same, and his portfolio of achievements is massive and worldwide. If he doesn't bore his audiences with tiny details so that the news media will be impressed, that is just good marketing. But he does know the details. Take a look at this video of his testimony before the U.S. Congress 25 years ago:
