That said, think about it - we are nominating a guy who has an outside shot against a butt-ugly, unlikeable, brain-damaged, proven failure, corrupt and possibly indicted drunk weeble. Nice job.
I have liberal friends in the Peoples Republic of Maryland. They are terrified of a theocracy under Cruz (I can’t dissuade them of such opinions). Some of them are giving Trump serious thought, however, because they despise Hillary. I have siblings and their spouses (North Carolina) who voted for Obama. For them, Trump is far easier to vote for than Cruz, since they are unhappy with Democrat politics of late.
Cruz will get crushed, not only by Democrat votes, but by those PO’ed Republicans who won’t appreciate a bait and switch candidate. A brokered convention candidate loses, it is simple as that.
I wouldn’t take Tim Carney’s word for it.
Go Trump go!
Right on 2nd!
What utter bullcrap.
Donald Trump is the most unpopular candidate in the modern era.
Trump needs to admit that he’s unworthy of the American people, drop out of the race, move to the Falkland islands, and live out his days in a shack far from phones and internet.
Poll out today showed Trump within two, but it gave the option of a third party vote. That got 19 percent. Without knowing how that 19 percent would vote with just two choices, it’s hard to say.
I think voter turnout among white men will be huge, but he needs to win by 15 or more. Romney won men by 8.
Also, we’ll need to see how the under 35s feel about no Bernie.
if they think like that psycho actress, who said trump getting elected would be the spark needed for a revolution, so don’t vote for hillary, that would help a lot.
No way Hillary beats Trump.
Well, the choice is Ted or Donald. Either one can wipe the floor with Bernie or Hillary Rodham Clinton, despite the MSM polls.
Today, while meditating, doing chores, I had an epiphany as to why Ted is not the best choice (though last summer I was all in for him). The reason is this, after watching his brand of politics, and” middle of the road” policy stances on the most important issues, I realized Ted Is a lot like a Richard Nixon.
I disagree. Trump is down in the polls right now because he's been savaged from the right and the left (ironically, mainly the right at the moment) and that has drug his ratings down and his head-to-head numbers with Hillary. But I think that Cruz would very likely lose because he's a hardliner and while that plays well in caucuses, it doesn't play well with the average American. In fact, Trump may be the only candidate who could defeat Hillary.
Disagree, a new NBC poll released today shows HRC at 38%, Trump at 36%. After awhile a backlash against the media will develop and Trump’s numbers will rise. Just my opinion of course.
“No Republican has ever won the White House without carrying Ohio, and Trump is looking bad in Ohio. Clinton beat Trump in all three Ohio polls conducted in March, by an average of six points. “
On average Cruz is behind Hillary in OH
“Any review of the Electoral College looks ugly for Trump.”
Any review of the Electoral College looks even uglier for Cruz or Kasich.
“The website “270 to Win” looked at polling averages and found Clinton carrying 260 electoral votes to Trump’s 115 votes, with 165 up for grabs. Clinton’s vote total on the site doesn’t include Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio or Florida, all states where Clinton has to be considered the favorite. If Clinton carried Minnesota, Ohio or Florida — any one of those — she would win. “
Except she won’t win FL, Trump got more VOTES than she did during the primaries, but she will beat Cruz there. If Kasich is VP, then OH is not a problem and PA, MI and NH are all in play.
“Look at every other swing state. In New Hampshire, Trump trails in every poll this year, most recently by eight points. In Florida, Clinton leads by eight in the latest poll and 2.2 percent in the RealClearPolitics average. Clinton beat Trump in the only Iowa poll. Clinton beat Trump by 17 points in the only Virginia poll this year.”
Hillary will win VA, Trump or whoever is the nominee needs to win OH, FL, PA.
It looks really bad for any republican EXCEPT for Trump.
I think it’s Baloney. I think Hillary has so many seriously negative issues running along with her in her campaign that outweigh anything Trump has negative against him.
It would be nice if Trump could pull his foot out of his mouth, but then that’s not Trump.
I’m still a Cruz person that will vote Trump if that’s my choice against Satan’s granny, because I know BS when I see/hear it, therefore I use the same BS meter for Trump, and this is what I see. Hillary has serious baggage, and so much of it she can’t hide it, and it’s so bad she can’t hide behind it. What’s Trump got? Nothing the press can make me believe. Go Cruz, and go Trump. Kick butt. May the best man.
Trump is tailored made for Hillary who is master at playing the victim card.
Much the same was said of Reagan when he ran for Governor of California....and later President.
MSM picking the republican candidate, again.
Romney/McCain 2016
“Because they’re up in the polls!”
“You can be a boorish bully toward men in ways you can’t toward women.”
Just like you couldn’t question Obama because he is black. If Trump would lose so badly to Mrs. Clinton, how is it that Sanders is kicking her butt and Trump is kicking all the other Repub candidate’s butts. But Kasich is the only one who can beat Mrs. Clinton?
