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?
“..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...”....I agree...and what’s sad is how pathetic it is. People think more of hillary then Trump.
DEM turnout has been VERY LOW this year OUR turnout for Trump is EXTREMELY high!!! Do NOT forget the disenchanted Bernie voters they may switch to Trump!!!! I think OUR turnout will SURPASS anything Hillary can pull out!!!
Trump has 48 - 49% support. He as so alienated anywhere from 1/3 to just short of 1/2 of the rest of the GOP, he will have to work hard to get them back. One thing that will not work is “moderating” after the primary.
Take a chill pill. Everyone lies. It’s no big deal.
This is NOTHING more than the press passing propaganda to the LIV’s !!! Trump will win in a landslide !!!!!
I think so too. Kind of like Fox saying there was a 3 way race in New Hampshire (or South Carolina - can’t remember now) but the minute the polls closed they called it for Trump and then said it was a fight for 2nd place.
Just the media being the media. Liars. :)
The media is all mudslinging and few facts, like a great pigfest. I’ve stopped watching/ reading almost completely. The agenda is obvious, those being propped up are pathetic, and I find it all, frankly, very disheartening.
That is a keeper.....hope the GOP has the guts to use it.
Not by much, her disapproval 59%, his 62% - would think that's well within the MOE. Her's (I believe) has been increasing while his has been decreasing.
Their favorable ratings are close too with her at 38% and him at 35%. I think he's close enough and will get better once the general is in gear. He's learning quickly considering he's never run for a high office before and she has many times.
I'm not worried.
These are the same people who say that 65% of Reps are against Trump, then cite polls that has him holding 40-50% of the Republican support...
I don’t think that they even realize how stupid they sound.
Simple explanation: Two different sets of voters
1. Super Tuesday polls are about Republicans voting in primaries.
2. General polls are about ALL (democrats, republicans, independents, ...) voting in November.
So, are you voting in the primary to “feel good” or to produce a candidate that can actually win?
SURE
dems will flock to “A TRUE CONSERVATIVE”
and shun TRUMP.......
reality check ******* Mass. statistics where DEMS are swithcing to TRUMP
IF 40% repubs nationally like TRUMP with 4 others gleaning the remainder
what makes them think the third placed little sweaty marco is THE ONE...???
IF ANYONE WAS GOING TO VOTE “TRUE CONSERVATIVE” then CRUZ WOULD BE WALKING AWAY WITH IT...
so conservative is not the factor
neither is RINO.... MITT RINO JOHN MC RINO PAUL RINO MITCH MC RINO BOHNER RINO..... these guys are political toast
but libtard/rino/globalist/NWO convoluted biased “logic” paints whatever outcome they want and then fill in the missing “facts”.... or lies... to achieve the end...
Carson and Kasich will stay in out of onryness and the money.... campaign funds
Rubio has the NWO 100 million so he is staying in
Cruz seems to be the most vulnerable if moeny is the factor but he may hang in there...
AND THUS TRUMP FACES THE TASK OF GETTING A MAJORIOTY TO GET THE NOMINATION
to do this he msut convince C+K both to drop out or one of C or R
SO IN FACT CRUZ IS THE KEY TO TRUMPS SUCCESS...
hey wanna be VP..??? or toast in the senate..???
Cruz is hated by RINOS for his principles.
Will he compromise for the VP??
we will see...I say YES if TRUMP BEATS HIM IN TX...
Don’t know how long Rubio can stay in when a week from now, he will have won 0 states. The establishment is going to talk one of them into quitting to save the other so after Florida, I expect to see Cruz or Rubio drop out and after Ohio - Kasich will drop out in a last chance vain attempt to consolidate the GOPe vote.
However, Hillary’s unfavorables are getting higher all the time. Look at the graph. Unfortunately they don’t have a graph for Trump’s unfavorables.

The devil is in the internals. In most swing states, Hillary’s about as popular as ebola, and Trump is seen as an alternative to the establishment.
I’ve seen credible polls showing Trump already ahead in all swing states of any importance other than VA.
CO, NC PA, IA, OH, and FL are all in play for Trump.
Cruz’s general election numbers look okay until you start digging into the state-by-state details. He trails Clinton by a significant margin in FL and PA. The only swing state where Cruz polls better than Trump is VA.
Anyone trying to play the ‘electability’ card for Cruz is skating on pretty thin ice, IMO. He also has the problem of being less popular than Trump within his own party outside of Texas and Arkansas, which is going to make it pretty difficult to get nominated.
This is how Romney lost.
We’re on the verge of nominating the only person on earth capable of making Hillary Clinton look like Miss Congeneality.
O yes, I remember the great enthusiasm and crowds for Romney, the eagerness to get out and vote for him, overwhelming the polling locations. (not)
Well the conventional wisdom is that a sick old criminal woman will launch a winning campaign against Trump calling him a liar, crook and misogynist with no foreign policy experience. And Trump will be struck dumb.
