Reading some threads, I see Cruz folks starting to sound like they're starting to buy the Trump Big Lie that Trump "won" the debate, and knocked Cruz out. Don't believe it for a second.
I can't be specific what I'm referring to. We'll just have to say it's interesting data from "a friend."
What I am seeing is national, not relating to Iowa specifically. And it's not a cross-section of Republicans, but it probably is a pretty good barometer of conservatives.
Based on what I'm seeing, Rubio is going absolutely, positively nowhere, and Trump is going downhill. Pretty big. Maybe not the final implosion, but MUCH bigger than just the day-to-day noise.
Combine this with the fact that we're not seeing any surge in voting registration in Iowa*, indicating that (sadly) Trump is NOT motivating huge new blocks of voters, and I don't know how he can win... unless Cruz people get disheartened by the nonsense being pumped out by Politico, CNN, and all the other left-wing Trump lovers.
(*Again, this is not a tell-all. Last-minute registrations and simply activating existing registered voters could be plenty to bring about astounding voter turnout. But it is a dog that's not barking. New registrations have in the past correlated with surges in caucus participation.)
I don’t believe that the GOP-E will EVER accept Trump, he is not bought and paid for they have NO CONTROL this is unacceptable to them!!! If Trump wins nomination which will be a VERY rough ride, they would rather see the DEM win!!!!
Why is Trump affected by weather more than the other candidates?
This is a serious question. I’ve heard about this several times, but still don’t get it.
They’re more urban, further East, (supposedly) younger. All those factors SHOULD mean they’re less bothered by the weather. But the quiet presumption even Trump’s supporters make is that they’re less likely to show up for any reason.
Get lost, ankle biter.
I want what I believe is best for this nation.
Are you older than 21? You opine like you’re still in your teens.
You on the other hand, are nasty to every poster, if you think people don’t catch the repeat offenders, you are sadly mistaken.
Thank you - I understand.
