I think it is a combination of jobs, the economy and the view of some dem voters they do not want a felon rammed down their throats by the party elite. We have the same thing going on in the alleged GOP party.
Lol
God forbid a Republican pick up Democrat votes. Oh the horror
Chris Wallace? Now I wonder if Trump is viable.....
I heard Krauthammer was pleading to let him put Steve out of his misery.
But Billy Kristol said not until Jeb/You/re/Next got his.....Billy thinks Jeb
deserves it more for running an asinine campaign that cost them millions.

Some post how many votes Trump is NOT getting and point to those as he future demise.
However, his delegate count is in line with his standings in many of the states:
Out of 103 total cumulative delegates [Ia, NH, SC - Trump picked up one more from NH that Rubio lost],
Trump 68 or 66%
Cruz 11 or 11%
Rubio 9 or 9%
==
Today, 30 more delegates will be added from Nevada.
On DU some are talking about voting for the Green Party (I assume that means the watermelon party).
As long as they don’t do it the way they did it for Thad Cochran in Mississippi, by betraying conservative voters and cheating and lying and bribing and pandering to ‘rat voters in order to undermine the winner of the conservative vote, Chris McDaniel.
Do they mean the Green Bay Packers!
I’m betting each fox news host had the maximum 2700 dollars on Jeb.
On candidate casino those 75-90 dollar bets on Jeb are looking a little silly right now.
And they’re all such dweebs that 5 card stud would never enter their minds. “Stud” isn’t in their vocabulary.
Not all the Sanders people are socialists. Many of them are just regular Democrats who think Hillary is a crooked, duplicitous criminal.
Anybody who gave real money to Jeb-You/re-Next must be a gilt-edged sucker.
Wonder if they/d be interested in buying a bridge... real cheap....in sophisticated downtown Brooklyn?
I think the Green Party is (rightfully) called the watermelon party because they are green on the outside, commie red on the inside.
Like the Sierra Club throwing its environmental scruples overboard when it came to illegal aliens and their trashing the environment.
Gotten yourself thrown out of a Trump rally yet?
When I was a history major I recall reading an account of the Byzantine Roman empire's final days when the enemy was at the gate yet inside the walls the elite were concerned more with arguing obscure theological minutia like if Angels were male or female or asexual.
That is what I feel a lot of these forum arguments (be they left wing or right wing forum) must seem like to Americans losing their jobs. Most Americans think free trade is doing their jobs in or maybe Wall Street is exploiting them? Official Dem and GOP talk swear free trade is a good deal for the Americans and swear Wall Street is linked to prosperity but many Americans on the left and right are just not feeling that is true.
There needs to be a big push to get these people a third party. It would decimate the Democrats.
Absolutely!
There are many ways to do it. People can email Bernie with their support and show their disgust with Hitlery steeling all the delegates, etc. Get them fired up for a Third Party.
Liberals are all about emotion so it would be fairly easy.
I talked a liberal into voting for Ralph Nader rather than Algore in 2000. She figured out what I had done and never talked to me again. lol
You are right. Green on the outside and commie on the outside.
Could Chris be a Trump Democrat?
The conservative south has long been excoriated by the left for “voting against its own best interests”, ie, putting principles, aka social concerns, over their supposed best financial interests. I didn’t buy it from them, and I won’t start buying it now. I will never be OK with having more money if it means being OK with murdering babies, interfering with the consciences of Christians, demolishing US borders and sovereignty, being forced to do more than truly tolerate homosexuals and their mirages, etc.
When your dad had an auto manufacturing job and could buy a house while your mom stayed at home to raise the kids, and then they shipped those jobs overseas, and now you have a job stocking cheap foreign made stuff on the shelf at WalMart or Dollar General, and a job at McDonalds, and your wife has 2 part time jobs, too, and you can only afford a rental, THEN you begin to wake up and say, "Someone lied to me!" Yep, they were lied to and now they're waking. Shipping our jobs overseas doesn't cause prosperity, it causes service jobs to sell the stuff that they now make over there to send back here. And you say, "Hmmm, we used to have the manufacturing jobs AND the service jobs AND the supplier jobs and the repair jobs. Now all we have is the service jobs." They wuz lied to, and they is waking up.
