Any poll average that throws in that ludicrous 15% Butcheress of Benghazi over Trump by McClatchy/Marist as legit deserves to be thoroughly laughed off the stage.
To: nopardons
No...you are and the polls are off, because it is still too early to predict much.I'm cool with that, so long as others don't claim a Trump victory based on anything other than their own opinion.

None of the candidates, now, or EVER have EVER laid out their plans in any detail, if at all.
Cruz, for whatever reason, does NOT and shan't attract disaffected Dems, Indies, blacks, Hispanics, lots of GOPers/leaning GOPers, ethnics, blue collar workers, white collar workers, ethnics, etc.; but Trump does. And no, no matter hows much you wish for it, that isn't going to change.
To: D-fendr
Your argument is that Trump can win if he is the nominee ... blah, blah, blah [nonsense removed] ... If you go by polls, and Trump definitely does, youâre in error.
Do you really want to hang your hat on polling? As a person opposed to Trump? Do you really want the polling of Trump v. Hillary in the swing states? Do you really want to look at the internals, which show Trump gathering up to 25% of the black vote? And doing very well among hispanics? Do you really want to know why unions are considering endorsing him?
Don't go there. You may have valid arguments against Trump (I doubt it, but I am feeling generous tonight). But that isn't one of them.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
You have your opinion set in stone...This piece isn’t worthy of posting.
IMO

I’ve noticed today that those with a seething hatred can’t be convinced about what actually was said. It’s almost like if they say it enough, then it’s true. In their illogical, feeble minds, truth be damned. Why would anyone post an article from the gop-e website (National Review) on this website?

As has been made abundantly clear by his incessant mewling and pathetically thin skin, Donald J. Trump is not in fact an unwaveringly resolute tough guy of the type you would hope to find standing next to you in the trenches, but an insecure attention seeker who cannot help but pander to his audiences' prejudices.
CW Cooke's piece nicely tees up my feelings ..... Convince me I wrong. Wrong about your feelings, CW? How?
But Chuck, quit waffling and crayfishing, and tell us how you really feel.
Wm. F. Buckley would throw up on his successors, putting out this mealy-mouthed New York Yacht Club locker-room drivel under the masthead of his publication. Buckley was elegant, antinomian, a true individualist. He'd burn his magazine to the ground rather than see it used as a Park Avenue buttwipe by the Rockefeller wing of the GOP and a sluice for Four Hundred prolefeed.

“Convince me I wrong.”
Given your history, I can’t imagine why anyone would want to bother.
So hows Scot Walker doing? LOL
Ben Carson, your new candidate, (I call him the Pyramid Grain Man), will crash and burn soon enough. LOL
Cheers.....

I suspect just a free agent, a 'troll-for-hire', if they come to the attention of Karl Rove's people, they get the 13 cents per word rate if they don't have any mispellings.

Cooke, the Limey Gen X answer to Geroge Will.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
Isn’t Trump saying “No “ to ISIS-infiltrated refugees and “No” to illegal immigrants?
I’m a Cruz guy, but those two issues are huge to me. I could stand behind him on those two alone if he wins the nomination.
