No, Trump can't win

Both were Democrats.

Their very candidacies were an insult.

McCain in 2008: “I admire Senator Obama and his accomplishments and I will respect him.”

“But I have to tell you, I have to tell you, he is a decent person, and a person that you do not have to be scared as President of the United States.”

More whining from the Pampers Cruzers

You guys can have all the whine

Trump is going to get all the wins

[perfect_rovian_storm]

I’ve met several. They do exist.

Trump wins in a 50 state landslide.

I guess it depends on how one defines “liberal”. “Consistently votes Democrat” might be a better description. Supports LBGTQQQQRTY rights, makes Palin jokes, etc. Is that “liberal”?

you should take photos and videos and do a nature documentary :)

Liberals in the mist

[orinoco]

What makes these so called journalist so credible? They do not have nearly the lifetime of success Trump has had. They do not say much about the community organizer from Chicago! Trump will out perform him with ease.

This is just another hit piece.

Let me offer what I think is a fair answer. Trump already has most likely 90-95% name recognition. Most of those folks have an opinion of him. For this reason the polls can be considered fairly legit. The results are very very unfavorable. It would take almost a miracle to change the perception of the electorate.

That is a fair answer, which is quite rare these days on FR. It's based of facts and logic, which I like. Changing those voters to a positive opinion of Trump may be difficult. Changing them to a view that "bad as Trump is, Hillary would be worse" is much more achievable. That is a potentially winning campaign strategy.

Others just consider him the frontrunner with the most states and delegates won, by far,

He's ahead in delegates, but less than 200 hardly qualifies as "by far" when he need 1237.

It's a lead though, for now. Might not hold up if the delegates go to a second ballot though, in accordance with the established rules.

Yes I do. Cruz espouses conservatism. The conservative message works when expressed the right way.

I don’t see many blue dog dems where I live.

To me, a liberal is for abortion on demand, loves gay marriage and men using women’s bathrooms, welcomes illegals and terrorists with open arms, etc.

[FewsOrange]

“I realized Ted Is a lot like a Richard Nixon.”

I don’t think he has Nixon’s charm and charisma.

Did their fathers bequeath them one hundred million dollars?

[Dalberg-Acton]

The stupid mantra goes on. They’ve been lying about Trump since day one.

[bushpilot2]

Trolls? ? What's the Tag Line?

[HarleyLady27]

Go.Trump.Go!!!

[Conservative Gato]

I wish to hell you folks would quit comparing Mr. Trump to President Reagan. They are not alike in any way.

Both can easily be compared to being Patriots. So don't tell us that they are not anything alike.

[Disestablishmentarian]

Why are you posting this screed? Author is just another worthless mediocrity trying to boost his career by bashing Trump every day.

How do people like this even gave a job in journalism?

[bushpilot2]

You've been lying about Ted Cruz eligibility.
