Dr. Carson, BOR , Trump and CNN are blowing Cruz's lies out of the water
Now CNN is the trusted source of news, Trump fans?
Get ready for a yuge Trump victory in NH closely followed by at least a win in SC and then NV. After that momentum will likely give Trump the SEC.
I believe that if Trump wins and wins big in New Hampshire it will be his death sentence—they (the forces that be) will try to take him out once and for all. Putin warned of an assassination attempt. I put nothing beyond them.
“Trump over Rubio by 21 points as Cruz drops to 3rd place”
Being intimidating and lying has it’s consequences.
That lets Rubio in the door.
I wish Cruz had run a clean campaign in Iowa. Was selling his soul really worth one small state? And a proportional one, at that.
Carson is understandable since he was the target, and Trump is exploiting an opportunity to score points. But O'Reilly and CNN are no friends of ours. They're piling on Cruz to take him out, clearing the way for a straight Rubio-Trump contest they think the Rube can win.
O'Reilly isn't particularly intelligent, he may honestly believe that Rubio is a stronger candidate for the general election.
Nobody cares about NH. Iowa already showed Trump’s support about 17% below the polls. NH is only a test for the Donald. Even if Trump wins NH, but does not win it by 20% points then it will further prove that Trump’s support is way overblown and Trump will become irrelevant.
Funny. I always thought southerners were real conservatives, not given being duped by mouthy yankee frauds.
Trusting Trump hasn’t worked out so well for many business partners and two previous wives. Experience shows he’s a leaky vessel to put much trust in. But his followers are truly smitten and not likely to stop to think about his recent “conversion” to our side.
The first thing to go is proper capitalization.
:) LOL
Married 48 years? is that a misprint?
That’s great man. Two more years to Gold!!
I think.
You got married the same time my parents were discussing whether to have a fifth kid or not.
I’m the fifth kid. 1968
Sure, everybody cares about IA but nobody cares about NH. Boy, that’s funny right there.
I don’t think winning New Hampshire by less than 20% makes you irrelevant.
Generally, if you finish in the top 2 in New Hampshire, you have a good chance of being the nominee.
The problem is Rubio right now. He needs to be blasted down a few pegs. Whether we like it or not, he’s the GOP-e darling. That means all of the apparatus in most states will go to push out votes for him in a primary.
The smart move is for Cruz and Trump to swat down Gang-Of-Eight Marco hard, fast and furious.
I don’t care about Iowa either. Neither State matters. Trump could win SC, Nevada, NH, and Iowa with 100% and still get less delegates than Cruz when Cruz wins Texas in a landslide (which he will). Super Tuesday is all that will really matter. It is basic math.
The point of Iowa is that it showed Trump to severely underperform his polls and proved that Trump could lose and Cruz could win.
The focus of NH is all on Trump. Trump is polling 26% above his closest challenger. If Trump wins with the 26% then he will win less than 5 delegates which is minimal. Even if Trump wins, but he wins by much closer margins, then it will further prove that Trump’s poll numbers are bogus and that his support is much weaker than predicted. It will possibly end Trump. That is the ONLY importance of NH.
“I don’t think winning New Hampshire by less than 20% “
It does when your polls consistently show you at 15-20% above your rivals and that is one of your main campaign selling points, but in reality you’re performing much lower than your polls.
I agree with you about the threat of Rubio though.
The day before the caucus the Des Moines Register showed Trump ahead by 3% with both Cruz and Rubio gaining ground over their previous poll. Even Trump didn't predict that he was going to win in Iowa that I am aware of. Cruz won by 3.3%
Now I admit that I only took a year of calculus in college but even with my limited mathematical abilities, 3% positive to 3% negative seems more like 6% to me. And polls are dynamic and it appeared that a shift was taking place. It appears that you are using Cruzmatics to come up with the results that you want. The definition of Cruzmatics is lying about numbers to manipulate people... just another tool found in the old Cruzbox.
“The day before the caucus the Des Moines Register showed Trump ahead by 3% “
I know, but several Trump supporters posted polls that same day saying Trump was 17% ahead of Cruz and that the 3% was an outlier and the 17% was accurate. Just look at the thread today about Trump dropping in the national polls. Every Trump supporter is claiming it is an outlier because Trump is now only 4% ahead of his rivals.
Trump came in 3.3% behind Cruz so 17% plus 3.3% is a 20.3% underperformance according to those Trumpanzee polls.
“It appears that you are using Cruzmatics to come up with the results that you want”
See, like a typical liberal Trumpanzee on FR, you resort to making accusations and calling people liars rather than asking the pertinent clarification question. I didn’t lie about anything. I even argued that the 17% polls were the outliers, but was shouted down by your fellow bully Trumpanzees so now I’m using Trumpanzee arguments against them. Basically, Trump underperformed 6.3%-20.3%, which is substantial either way you look at it.
Trumpanzees are now touting the poll showing Trump ahead by 26% in NH so if he only wins by less than 5% then that will be another 20% drop.
I’m sure you and other Trumpanzees will lie that you never believed the 26% polls and you always knew it would be a close race/s
You did see that Trump is starting to go down in that poll as well, I assume. I think that fall will begin accelerating as the effects of yesterday’s TrumperTantrum kick in.
You are so full of it. Not one poll had Trump under-performing by 17 points. It was 6. Quit the nonsense and the hyperbole and try to add intelligent discussion to the board.
“You are so full of it”
BS...try looking back at the threads for that week. There were several posted by Trumpanzees that showed Trump winning by 17%. I knew then that they were BS polls just like the NH polls posted today showing Trump with a 26% lead. They are all BS polls.
Why don’t you try actually pulling your head from Trumps rump and actually read the other threads on FR or are you too busy being a lying, bullying Trumpanzee??
