Someone's lying!
3/1/2016 | djf

Posted on 03/01/2016 11:12:37 AM PST by djf

Now I keep hearing these polls that say that Trump is way, way ahead of both Rubio and Cruz. And then out of the other side of their lips they say that Trump would lose to Hillary, while Cruz and Rubio would be successful!

So my only conclusion can be that SOMEBODY is lying!!

Thoughts? Comments?

That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.

Trump is ahead of Rubio and Cruz among Republican primary voters

Trump is behind Hillary among general election voters.

They’re all lying.

I just got an email back from the RNC. It said, in part:

“The RNC is 100% completely neutral in the GOP Presidential primary.”

They must think we have IQs of 85 or lower.

If your anti-Trump, that’s all you got except for the race card.

The former is in the primaries and covers Republicans; the latter is in the general election and includes Democrats and all others who would be voting.

Just about everyone is lying. If Trump wins, they’ll lose their pork.

Does it count as lying if the speaker actually believes two incompatible pieces of nonsense?

It’s just Fear Propaganda.

Trump is more popular than Rubio and Cruz.

In my years of experience I've come to conclude, as a general rule, that a liberal with an "R" behind his name does not often defeat a liberal with a "D" behind his name in an election. That is to say, you can't "out-liberal" the democrats. I believe the underlying message is that Trump is liberal enough to appeal to democrats, but in the general election they will likely abandon him in favor of their party's candidate.

Why can’t both polls be correct?

Trump is leading the field of the Republican candidates, among Republican voters.

He is losing against a matchup with Clinton, among all voters.

There is nothing odd about that.

Both Clinton and Trump have very high negatives. Right now it appears that amongst all voters, Trump’s negatives hurt him more than Clinton’s negatives hurt her.

Those who want you to believe something other than the truth are generally the ones who are lying.

What they are trying to say is that Trump is way ahead in republican voters in the primary.

But in the general, he falls behind when the entire voting happens (dems/repub/indies)

Or maybe that's what they want you to believe.

Not that hard to understand. Trump has a very devoted following, but what you see (in the primaries) is what you get. He is a known commodity. Everyone who will vote for him in the primary will vote for him in the general, but there will be very few NEW Trump voters in the general.

It’s the difference between “I wouldn’t vote for Trump” and “Trump’s an obnoxious pig but better than Hillary” with the numbers of Cruz and Rubio voters on the sidelines.

Well, from what else I hear, Trump will draw more Democrats over to the conservative side than either Rubio or Cruz, who are supposed to be more run of the mill.

So I ask again, how can that be?

Not according to polling data. Trump has the highest unfavorables a if any candidate running.

“Trump is behind Hillary among general election voters.”
I know the polls say that, but she can’t hardly beat Sanders.
