I'm really dismayed by so many Trump bashers who are trying to make a self-fulfilling prophesy for what they want to be, rather than an intellectually honest assessment of what is and what should be. Rather than trying to convince people to vote for another candidate, they're trying to bring about Trump's implosion by saying it has already happened. If I had a dollar for every time I heard something like the following, I'd donate it to Cruz's campaign and that would beef up his war chest substantially:
I can't even count how many times I've heard the but this is why this is different meme. It's like the this time Hillary is cooked meme.
I have an idea... let's try to convince each other on the merits of our arguments, rather than pretend that we've won because Trump said one more stupid thing.
That is a 3-day tracking poll, and only one of the three days is after Iowa. We will have to wait for Friday for all three days to be after Iowa. And even that poll with one day after Iowa shows Cruz gaining 2 points and Rubio gaining 4 points while Trump is static.
