Trump’s new convention manager speaks out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IivP2Q12nnQ
“Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s new convention manager, says he reports directly to Donald Trump and is confident that Trump will have clinched the GOP’s nomination before the convention.”
“Ted Cruz has seen his better days.”
66 % seems like a bogus number...
The GOPe just makes up polls to support their positions.
Hot Air is one of the paid shills.
Says the new consigliere.
“The real takeaway here is just how many Trumpers say they’re willing to stick with the party this fall even if Trump gets shafted in Cleveland. I never would have guessed it’s as high as 66 percent.”
It’s not. This poll is bogus nonsense.
Cruz is now fully exposed as an Establishment Insider. He is not the SOLUTION, he is the PROBLEM Trump is trying to solve!— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) April 9, 2016
If Trump gets shafted at the convention, look for Kamikaze Voters taking out Republicans everywhere.
“66 % seems like a bogus number...”
It is a bogus number. I’m a Trump supporter and have not met the first Trump supporter, in person or online that would vote for Ted Cruz or John Kasich. Actually, it would be a cold day on hell in hell before I voted for a lying Canadian, who’s absolutely not a natural born citizen, therefore ineligible for the office, or vote for a closet democrat in Kasich. If the nomination is stolen from Trump and he still has won more delegates going into the convention and millions of more votes, which will certainly be the case, I’ll write in Trump’s name and call it a day. Then I can watch the returns come in and see Hillary Clinton beat Cruz like a cheap rug.
If Trump is blocked via GOP crap maneuvers then he should run not third party, but TEA PARTY. It’s been a long time coming.
The author would have a better chance of juggling flaming chainsaws while unicycling, than getting me to believe these numbers.
No Trump, no vote!
“..however grudgingly, to line up for Cruz and beat Hillary.”
If Cruz had 100% of the GOP, and he will not get close. Hillary would beat him like the rented mule he is.
Vote Cruz. Hillary thanks you.
So essentially what this is saying is that Trump supporters are more loyal and have better character than do Cruz supporters.
Already knew that.
THIS Trump woman supporter will not vote for anyone but TRUMP!!!
It is bogus
It’s about 53%
Trumps delegate history is within a few points of just maintains course and knots
And he’s sailing into favorable waters
Cruz wil be knocked out soon as he loses 19 delegates out of the remaining 890
So why will he be there?
To steal it from Trump through shenanigans or be used by the GOPe for some price only he knows
Ditto Kasich
It’s like JR said
In a normal year whoever is last possible standing to have the possibility to 1237 is the winner even before the convention
If Trump gets 1100 or so and Cruz 700 and Cruz or the GOPe think they can then take it from the plurality whilst all these guys hang in for their own ends
Then think again
I see a pure revolt not a go along despite all the rah rah we’ll hear from Rush and Sean
Not this time
How so, if you look at the poll it is very bad for the republicans should they decide to go Cruz alone.
In 2012 the Dems got 65.9 million, the republicans got 61 million.
Right now Trump Is getting 31~32 percent of the traditional republican votes, plus just under 10 percent (~8 to 9) of the regular republican votes added in non traditional republicans votes.
Assuming that there are no republicans fallouts you get a pool of around 66 to 67 million volts, just what they need to win.
If you lose ~15 percent of Trumps 32 percent regular voters (.32 x 61 million x.15 = 2.9 million votes lost) plus 85 percent of the non traditional voters he brought in (.85 x6 million = 5.1 million) you get a republican total of 58 to 59 millon voters.
Where is the republican party going to get these votes....they are not.
But If trump wins, he will loos a lot of die-hard Cruz voters. So Trump needs Cruz.
only possible victory at this point is Trump Cruz 2016
Hot Air is one of the paid shills.
TRUE.. but it should be emphasized.
The GOPe just makes up polls to support their positions.
Hot Air is one of the paid shills.
Amen. NOT going to happen.
Oh, please. This psyops crap is really getting old. Now we’re going to be seeing all kinds of polls for umpteen weeks, all trying to create a group-think meme so Trump people will fall on the sword ONCE AGAIN and vote GOPe.
Ain’t. Gonna. Happen. The GOP Establishment just haven’t accepted it yet. And they probably won’t until they see the blood in the streets of Cleveland. And if not then, maybe when GOP politicians up for reelection see their voting base stay home in November.
Are we having fun yet?
I swear, we need a list of these shills. It’s a waste of my time to even click.
