I think that it’s of utmost importance that ScottinVA release the details of the media’s planned, imminent attack on Trump. Releasing those plans would be critical in case Cruz is the nominee so that we can be prepared. It’s very likely that the propaganda press would use the same tactics against Cruz.

“Really? Then you must have insider info on that line of attack. Tell us the details.”

That’s cute. Play your little games if you must.

You and I both know the media has a history of that practice. Just as they did vs Romney in 2012. They played “nice,” then once Romney was nominated, out came the “war on women” narrative. But so don’t have to convince you of this. You already know.

No, you said with specificity that the media had a plan to take down Trump. What is that plan? We need to know that plan because the media may do something similar if Cruz is the nominee.

If the media’s past practice of that kind of gamesmanship isn’t enough context for you to draw the same conclusion, there’s no point in discussing this with you.

This poll reflects the EXACT OPPOSITE of what took place in yesterday's primaries.

I gentlemanly and gracefully call "BULL$HIT."

One question, why is the much beloved Cruz not beating Trump since he obviously is so worshiped by the voters no

I know. Cruz cannot seem to beat Trump, yet he would fair better against Hillary???

PURE BULL$HIT

If it's "fiction," it's pretty consistent. Do you have survey data that says otherwise?

This is a forecast that will give you pause because of the number of times it's been CORRECT since 1912.

The ONLY time this forecast, has been incorrect when applied, was ONCE, which was in 1960.

This is a PROFOUND PREDICTION

Political science professor forecasts Trump as general election winner
The Statesman  | February 23, 2016 | Christopher Cameron

A professor of political science at Stony Brook University has forecasted that Donald Trump has a minimum 97 percent chance of winning the general election as the Republican nominee.

Professor Helmut Norpoth's forecast presentation took place Monday evening in the SUNY Global Center in Manhattan, which was organized by the Stony Brook Alumni Association.

Norpoth created a statistical model of presidential elections that uses a candidate's performance in their party's primary and patterns in the electoral cycle as predictors of the presidential vote in the general election.

Donald Trump has a 97 percent chance of defeating Hillary Clinton and a 99 percent chance of defeating Bernie Sanders in the general election, according to Norpoth's formula.

"The bottom line is that the primary model, using also the cyclical movement, makes it almost certain that Donald Trump will be the next president," Norpoth said, "if he's a nominee of the [Republican] party."

Norpoth's primary model works for every presidential election since 1912, with the notable exception of the 1960 election. These results give the model an accuracy of 96.1 percent.

LOL! Haw haw! Suckers!

This poll is pure propaganda, as a recent FR thread demonstrates quite convincingly.

Anybody citing it is either ignorant or sloppy drunk on Establishment koolaid, and should be ashamed of themselves for spreading such blatant spin.

Please go peddle your worthless garbage push polls over at DU...

Neah. Talking about both tickets. That our public accepts Trump, Hillary!, and Mad Uncle Bernie as the leading contenders for the office of President, it really bad sign.

The Constitution calls for such challenges AFTER the election and BEFORE the Inauguration in it’s language. You can be sure that the Democrat Congress and Senate WILL object and throw the election results into the Supreme Court. It only takes 1 Congressman and 1 Senator to accomplish this.

Congressman Alan Grayson (D Fla.) has already volunteered. The Dem. Senators will pull straws to be the other objector with Harry Reid taking the honors.

Both the Conservatives and the Court Liberals will overturn any Cruz election......The Conservatives because of Article II and the Liberals because it throws the election to Hillary.

Sorry, but that’s just the way it will be. Reality sucks.
