CNN has called it for Trump

CNN ^ | 2/20/16 | CNN

[Eccl 10:2]

With 5% now in: Trump 32.2%, Rubio 22.4%, Cruz 20.9%

Fox says Trump won the evangelical vote in SC by 32% to 27% for Cruz

[for-q-clinton]

Huh? Yes we are right. SC proves it.

[for-q-clinton]

once again a plurality not a majority. Trump will never get 50%. Look at the internals of polls. He’s no one’s #2 choice. And his negatives are higher than Hillary’s.

[Hugin]

Trump can’t win the general election with those numbers and the internals show that.

Bullcrap! The polls are mixed with some showing Trump winning, and the rest close. The USA today poll from 2/15 shows Trump beats Hillary by 2%. The election is 8 months away, and Hillary hasn't really been attacked yet. Trump will beat her like a drum, and her numbers will tank. If she can even beat Sanders.

[mkjessup]

I'm not. I'm seriously going to vote 3rd party. Libertarian is better than Trumpillary.

Oh without a doubt. I recall the wise words of our last Libertarian President, uhhhh, who was that guy again?

[for-q-clinton]

Trump people need to get a clue.

If they had a clue they wouldn't support Trump ;-)

[Gasshog]

Well, here we go. I knew that Cruz people would try to console themselves of this loss by spewing Trump will cause us to lose the general in Nov.

Well, I will tell you what I said last night: Trump will destroy Cruz/Rubio and he did.

And add this: Trump will destroy Satan’s daughter, the HildaBeast as well.

So, pack up the “concern”. Trump & Company celebrate tonight — We aren’t fazed by it.

How can Amnesty Rubio unite the party?

And Cruz smacked Trump pretty hard, too.

[for-q-clinton]

Exactly. We keep getting duped into voting for liberal vs. liberal. Not this time for me.

But I’d say there were many libertarian Presidents...especially the founders.

[concerned about politics]

Rubio is going to be our candidate in the end. Once all the others drop out and only trump and Cruz are left, the RNC will take out Cruz, and Trump will loose thereafter because his number of supporters is static, where Rubio has nowhere to go but up.
PS - I'm for Cruz, BTW, but I can see where the RNC and media are leading people.

[for-q-clinton]

Because Rubio has changed his message on amnesty. Just like Trump has changed his message on abortion, giving money to democrats, and many other liberal causes.

I would possibly vote for Rubio, but not Trump. And I was just the opposite 3 months ago!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

All that changes once Trump is the nominee. Your numbers now, from wherever you are getting them, will have zero meaning then.

[livius]

Everybody “has baggage” and Trump probably has more than most, except that the MSM, which is supporting him for his entertainment value, doesn’t go there. Trump was full Dem for a long time and then changed (like Bloomberg) because he thought he’d have a better electoral shot.

Trump’s clothing line was being made in Mexico, he’s bailed on his business creditors in the construction trades and hotel industry four times by declaring Chapter 11 to protect his personal assets and his latest Russian model babe trophy wife...so remind me again why he has no “baggage” please?

[CharlotteVRWC]

Trump will never nominate Ted Cruz for SC after having called him a liar all these weeks

Trump needs a majority of Republican delegates to win on the first vote at the Republican Convention. A plurality does not get you the nomination *immediately*. After the first ballot you get further balloting where Trump delegates can be bribed to vote the Establishment candidate such as Marco Rubio.

[Cyman]

Damn Orange Gumby has even the Evangelical vote??????

[for-q-clinton]

I agree nearly 100%. The only difference is the media wants Trump. They want the ratings and the eventual Hillary victory. They haven’t unloaded on Trump yet. They are keeping their powder dry while Trump takes out the other GOP candidates.

We’ll be lucky to end up with Rubio at this point.

[for-q-clinton]

No he has a plurality of the vote.
