My preference would be to, one at a time, eliminate the bottom candidate and then revote. Sooner or later you end up with a winner. The idea that the delegates from the top person get released at the same time as the bottom person makes no sense (like pretty much everything ever done by politicians I might add).
D.C/RNC = Yellow bile
Mon Cheri, I think you reeled in another one!
Pssst. See posts #91 and #97.
There’s a chance he’s being sarcastic. It’s too over-the-top.
I’m so confused. Which poll is the one we can trust?
When Cruz is winning I hear they are garbage. When Trump is winning I hear they are spot on.
So which is?
Maybe after the WI primary we can look at which one was right and then stick with that one :-) Or we can continue to argue over the polls.
The good news drudge reports that economic models say the Republicans will win even with Trump. So we are good with whoever wins. Since the Republicans will most likely beat Hillary, we should be have a discussion about who has the policies we most agree with.
While I’m not 100% with Cruz I do like his conservative approach to most things (I’d prefer more do nothing at the federal level though and let the states handle it, but that’s not going to happen between Dems and Reps). Trump has said some good things but then he has take it back or said bad things then switched to good. So I really don’t know which Trump will serve as President.
With the election being the best chance to put in a solid conservative I’m going to go with that and back Cruz all the way until he has no way of winning (even in a contested convention).
I will say that the WI primary will come out very much like the MO election.
The states are very similar in political makeup in many ways now.
WI is more liberal and blueblood mainline GOP/RNC supporting. Rinse, Paul Ryan, etc. They do a good job keeping conservatives on the GOP plantation. Pathetically, Ryan has inserted himself in this race and gone very negative on Trump. That doesn’t help Trump in WI, IMO.
If there are three participants in a bid for control of a company, and their shares of stock represent the following:
Participant A: 48%
Participant B: 48%
Participant C: 4%
What proportion of power does each have in a negotiation towards the disposition of the company?
Then you should put the sarc on it as some of the crap going out on here is not sarc and it is proving more and more harder to see the difference.
Trump WAS supposed to win WI until his disastrous last couple of weeks. Now we have this poll showing he’s going to win so who knows.
But without WI it becomes extremely difficult to Trump to hit 1237. Without 1237 I don’t see him ever being the nominee. If he comes out of a contested convention with the nomination—I will fully get on the Trump train because he clearly ain’t lying when he says he knows how to negotiate. Other than his magical negotiation powers I don’t see how he wins in a contested convention.
Well I guess its all over. Trump will get 1350 votes and will be nominated in Cleveland on the first ballot. Though he loses to Sanders. And this children is how we became a socialist contry. Now eat your dinner gruel.
Laz ,Getting harder and harder to see what posts are sarc
That's exactly what I'm trying to draw attention to.
"These guys told us to say we were for Cruz."
Yes but this poll was conducted in the last 3 days, making it the only poll to have been conducted so recently. A pollster is rarely this far off. There is a sense that things have been tightening. A poll out last night (and conducted longer than this poll) found Cruz ahead by only 5. It could be that 4/1-3 has seen a real Trump surge. After all, Mr. Trump is campaigning his tail off in Wisconsin!
OK then I take it back, but I hope you understand as to where I was coming form.
it has got to such a point on here by a handful of people that I sit here wondering if they are actually serious
