I’m not muddying the waters. I didn’t make any assertions about the conservative base being for or against Trump.

Trump mania is a movement and not just among conservatives. Trump has support from unions, minorities, women, and millenials, all of whom are atypical GOP voters.

The KKK has nothing to do with this discussion. It’s primary season at FR, put on your big girl panties, darlin’. You shouldn’t make assumptions about where I stand regarding Trump or Cruz.

Charts, graphs, polls, etc. are skewed by the group defining the data. I’m a DBA. I know how to present data in a way that is favorable to some predefined conclusion that those requesting the data prefer.

As a conservative, you know that there are lies, damn lies, and statistics. They do it. We do it.

When I addressed who was supporting Trump, in what context did I address it?

Are you capable of being honest?

I did it in the context of the vote showing a 41 to 16% lead by Trump. What data did I provide to make a larger claim? None, because I wasn’t making a larger claim.

Of course, outside that group he is going across all demographic lines, but that was not what I was addressing.

Where did the Conservatives break out in that poll?

Overwhelmingly Trump.

Anything he gets in excess of that, is pure gravy.

Let me add to that, since I did mention Liberals.

We are getting rank and file Liberals, but are we getting the GOPe, the RNC, the MSM talking heads, the MSM pundits, the MSM print media, the Blog spots...? No

So large Liberal groups are not flocking to Trump.

Some thoughtful people are crossing over, but we are not taking all Liberals by any means.

So Trump is not appealing to “Liberals”. He is appealing to folks who may not have been as “Liberal” in their thinking as they may have thought they were.

If we get 5% more penetration in Democrat or Independent circles, and an extrs 20% of Blacks and Hispanics, we’re talking a very big majority.
