Polls say it’s neck and neck; the “Experts” say Trump bombed; but the RNC knows scary truth

It’s beginning to sink in to the Wile E. Coyotes at the RNC that Donald Trump is beating them and will beat them to the finish line.

With the Iowa Caucuses rushing at them, the RNC is so worried about Trump being its nominee that its anxiety has become palpable enough to be a lead story in the Washington Post.

The guys in the RNC have just about reached panic time. They might not know how to win presidential elections nor understand why their anti-Trump mines have exploded in their faces; but they know bogus polls mean nothing.

The Karl Roves of Washington know the New York Times and others who are posting poll results showing a “neck and neck race” between Trump and Ben Carson are fooling only those who live on wishful thinking.

The last debate wrecked their plans to unseat Trump. Carson bombed and he is quickly being seen as just a nice man with great accomplishments who should be in Trump’s Administration but not the Oval Office. He failed to break ten percent in any public survey of who won. Carson is not the one and they know it.

They came away with no one as their next “Trump Killer.”

The RNC’s agony accelerated Wednesday when Trump qualified for the ballot in Virginia which they had smugly hoped would be a lethal stumbling block.

Virginia is considered second to Illinois as the most difficult state to qualify in. They noticed Trump’s “unexpected” huge rally in Illinois earlier this week and know why he went there.

It gets worse for the RNC.

Now a New York Times survey of Democrats says they see Trump as the toughest Republican to beat by more than 2 to 1 over Carson and .... GOP field..

I dont want a poet as president. I want a warrior.

The problem with warriors is that they're not always fighting for exactly what you want, and their methods often destroy things that are important... in this case, our desperately-needed return to the ideals of a Constitutionally-limited Head of State. Obama can be dismissed as a horrible aberration. If Trump enjoys a similar lack of restraint, then no future President will be constrained ever again... and I don't see Trump as the kind of guy who will eschew the opportunity to go all-out 'to get things done' when it will cement his place in history as the man whose business acumen saved the nation's economy. He could do many very important and positive things, and I'll vote for him if he is the nominee... but we should all be very very aware of the possibilities that we will lose the central notion of limited government for many years to come, if not forever, if we give Trump the same carte-blanche that Obama has been abusing.

Cruz, please.

Very clean logic.

If only the world and the choices were so clear.

Who cares what happens in Iowa? Who has such a vivid imagination to pretend the Iowa Caucus, which is where a candidate more or less openly ‘buys’ the votes, remotely resembles democracy or is representative of the rest of the USA?

If you want to see who won the debate turn the sound off and watch the non verbal language. Trump was the leader of that group without a doubt.

It was Trump and Cruz with a bunch of bromidal chatter.

>> That rat bastard ruined our home business and drove my much-older husband into a triple bypass and despair.

“That rat bastard” is not merely a misguided individual with a world view that is different than mine. Obola is EVIL. In his own way, every bit as evil as Hitler, Stalin, Nero, any of them. I know from JESUS’ teaching and example I should not hate him. But I struggle daily with that.

I pray your husband has recovered, both physically and in his spirit and soul. Hope springs eternal.

>> I *always* got up one more time than I was knocked down.

The definition of persistence. Good for you.

>> I want a pit bull president.

We desperately NEED a pit bull president.

FRegards and Blessings

Please explain how this happens. Do candidates hand out cash? Booze? Walmart gift cards? Are there enough people handing out bribes to cover the 1700 caucus locations?

>> I can’t see into the future, so I don’t know how this is going to play put, but regardless of the outcome, all conservatives owe the Donald for raising issues that would never be touched without him in the race.

Well said.

I can’t see the future either, of course — but here’s my prediction: even if DT does not become POTUS in 2016, he has “joined the game”. I don’t see him quietly going away nor do I see him becoming a bitter detractor. I see him as positively shaping the political landscape in SOME way or another for years to come. Politics has captured his interest and he’s just that kind of guy.

Preaching to the choir, Tick.

In all these years, I have not suffered through more of that thing’s speeches than the time it took me to grab the clicker and change the station.

My reaction to him has always been literal and visceral.

*Never* had this “feeling” about any other president, ever.
Not even Slick Willy.

I cannot bear to even look at him for long.

*Major* heebies-jeebies.

I remember the threads of FR, starting in 2007, wherein others expressed their same reactions.

Long before that, some casual internet friend said she’d “seen the future of our country” [insert swoon here] and sent me a YouTube of that thing yapping.

Suffered 10 seconds and bailed.

I told her he was evil and lost another friend.

Hubby is okay as far as the bypass but the depression and despair is strong in him.

I’m not much help since I’m not exactly a ray of fecking sunshine these days, either.

But, we both have hope now, in Trump.

And that terrifies me.

It’s been a very long time since I’ve felt hopeful.

The last skilled orator we got gave us seven years of disasters.

The markets, I suspect, are going much much lower by election time around at least 50% lower maybe more.

The economy is collapsing as well.

This is all playing into Trump’s hand for a yuge win.

Can you say President Trump?

But there is of course no chance of that happening with a Republican in the WH. The problem lies in the nexus of the media the propaganda establishment and Democrat politics.

Namely, that whereas TR said, “It is not the critic who counts . . . the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena” (which was “ liberal” in the 1910 meaning of the word), the post-1930 “liberal” - being a critic and not a doer - says the exact opposite. The “liberal” says, “You didn’t build that.” And since the journalist is a critic rather than a doer, the journalist is invariably a “liberal” in all but name.

With new Reuters/IPSOS survey showing Trump getting 42% of likely Republican voters and the Paris attack it is now officially panic time at the RNC.
