Wow. So many flaws.
A: that is off topic of my response, and not in context relevant. That's a fact.
B: Do you think I"m not aware of that? REALLY? I am, that's a fact.
C: AT this time last cycle, Newt was at 0%. He then led by big double digits in Iowa and nationally in December....tanked again....and then won SC by 14%. In Florida, he tanked again by abandoning his SC strategy. In the meantime, the lead switched between him, Bachmann, Cain, Perry, etc. In other words, polls in August of 2011 were totally and absolutely not relevant nor predictive of the final outcome. You can point to the scoreboard all you want...but remember, the game has not even started. We're still in preseason warm ups.
Them's the facts.
As I pointed out in my reply. I do not get a say for almost a year. Last cycle, I wanted to vote for Newt in the primary. He dropped out months before the Colorado primary.
The thinking, informed voter wants Cruz. The emotion driven voter wants Trump because he makes them feel good.
Trump is winning among Hispanic legal voters. He will pull in millions of Apprentice watching LIV types. Disaffected democrats will vote for him.
Until the voting starts just enjoy the show.
