Trump’ support is wide and solid.

Trump has about 1/3 of the Republican vote. He has 40% of Republicans that say they wouln't vote for him in the General. How is that wide and solid?

Can someone tell me what would prevent election fraud?


Are they trying to set up a bit of VOTE FRAUD -— to make it look like it was REAL ?????????

======= :

Bev Harris of BlackBoxVoting

www.CoasttoCoastAM.com

Date: Thursday - February 4, 2016 Host: George Noory , Guests: -—, Bev Harris — last 2 hours.

[ bit from the show summary :

In the latter half (2 hours), founder of Black Box Voting (blackboxvoting.org), an investigative reporting and public education organization for elections, Bev Harris, talked about voting issues related to the presidential primaries, and past elections.

- - - - - - - [ some on NH - - - - -

South Carolina, which uses a completely paperless touchscreen that sends results to a company in Tampa for counting, also has a troubled history when it comes to elections, she cited.

The state is so under the thumb of political party bosses in the most invisible way possible...

What I expect to see in South Carolina is that the candidates who are not favored with their state political parties will be dropped down considerably, she remarked.

Doesn’t Marco Rubio have the same problem as Ted Cruz?

If so, then it doesn’t matter how they are doing in the polls. Ted Cruz is being challenged on his eligibility and rightly so. I like the guy but he should have never entered the race, knowing this albatross was around his neck. And if Marco Rubio thinks the DemocRATS won’t challenge his eligibility, should he get in second place, he is delusional.

Not exactly, Crews is a Canadian, but Rubio is an anchor baby.

If I remember correctly Haley was a Tea Party Darling. And Tim Johnson was a Tea Party favorite. As was Rubio. Now all three have joined the gopE.

Haley and Johnson were elected as “outsiders”. Now they’re supporting an insider. Are all political type people lying frauds?

This is a cross over state. Whatever and whoever wins should be taken with a grain of salt.

I don't think there will be much cross over voting this time of the mischief making variety. The Dim contest is too tight and Hillary is depending on the SC Dim voters to give her a win and some amount of momentum.

Any Dims crossing over to vote for a Republican will probably be a legitimate supporter of the Republican they vote for.

Flash! A new poll just released shows that Rubio when pitted against Cruz fairs much better than he does against Trump, except in areas where Rubio and Trump don't fair as well against Cruz.

Makes sense to me! /s

Don’t know about this poll, but after the “On Eve of South Carolina Vote, Nation’s ICE Officers Detail How Marco Rubio Betrayed Them” story gues viral, Rubio isn’t going to be in tie for second anymore, he is going to lose 5 points.

“Seriously, if W is so popular in SC why is Jeb sucking hind tit?”

Even the few people in America who still think W was a decent president recognize that his brother isn’t worth half that.

“Trump has about 1/3 of the Republican vote. He has 40% of Republicans that say they wouldn’t vote for him in the General. How is that wide and solid?”

Good question. His support in the GOP has held rock solid @ 30%-35% since this thing began. Nationally, his disapproval ratings are off the charts.. upwards to 60%.

The only answer I can offer is that this was all planned from the beginning. Trump is using the GOP to get a free platform for his screeds and insults knowing the media will give him free publicity. When the time comes, he will then bolt the GOP, take his 30-35% of his loyal GOP followers with him and start his own party. A 15-20% showing for the Trump Party in November will likely hand over the Presidency to Sanders or his friend, Hillary Rodham. Perot redux.

An then possibly Bernie feeling burned by the Hillary win with super delegates decides a 4 way race is anyone's ballgame and starts his own party.
