If Donald Trump secures the Republican presidential nomination, he would start the general election campaign as the least-popular candidate to represent either party in modern times.
Three-quarters of women view him unfavorably. So do nearly two-thirds of independents, 80 percent of young adults, 85 percent of Hispanics and nearly half of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.
Those findings, tallied from Washington Post-ABC News polling, fuel Trump’s overall 67 percent unfavorable rating — making Trump more disliked than any major-party nominee in the 32 years the survey has been tracking candidates.

You're right I'm lazy. Since Trump has gotten 37% of the total votes his list would something like the one you posted for Cruz.
You keep tellin’ yourself that on Election Night when they call the race for Trump.
You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think. — "Algonquin Round Table", 1920s literary society maven, Dorothy ParkerHint: no pun includedParker's answer when asked to use the word horticulture during a game of Can-You-Give-Me-A-Sentence?, as quoted in You Might as well Live by John Keats (1970).
And furthermore, Ted Cruz was born in Canada to a foreign born parent which makes him ineligible to be President of the United States!

It shouldn’t surprise you since I’ve always been a strategic thinker. You’re worried that Trump is somehow a FSB agent but don’t care that Cruz has close ties to pro-China sycophants who openly pray for Chinese hegemony. This includes Heidi Cruz and the men she has worked under and Cruz himself. These pro-Chicom a**holes will pair hostility with Russia with capitulation to the Chinese. If your wildest nightmares were true about Trump, where would that get you? The same place. Russia and China are allies playing the same strategic games.
Yes, Trump is weak on Ukraine and Eastern Europe, but not because of the absurd claim that a billionaire is somehow controlled by the FSB. But his weakness is exaggerated by the Cruzers who don’t mind Cruz’s associations and their anti-Americam ideologies.

I don't suppose there is any chance you'll explain what you mean.
It is a serious question not snark. I don't see any post to you, and I looked over #120 and saw nothing but facts, figures and educated guesses. I don't see anything I wrote that looks like a breakdown!
I am trying to be objective.
I was using breakdown defined as — an analysis or classification of something; division into parts, categories, processes, etc.
That is, you broke a lot of information down into a very useful analysis.
Perhaps you should tell that to the millions of people attending his rallies and voting for him. They probably haven’t heard yet.<<<
+1000!
Wowser.
Not very deep. I wanted to set a marker for myself so that even weeks later I could find it again, because it is the most cogent and concise breakdowns of the most important data regarding this election, and I salute you for it.I was using breakdown defined as — an analysis or classification of something; division into parts, categories, processes, etc.

Jeez, I'm sorry! My bad. Thanks for the kind words.
Ding ding ding we have a winner, and obviously a very intelligent person. Confirmed by looking at my profile. You are awarded bonus points for correctly identifying the DU stands for Down Under, not Demo. Underg. And believe it or not, only the second FReeper to get it or at least comment on it.
First guy I’ve been enthusiastic about voting for since I was eligible, and I was eligible for GHWB.
Hard to believe. Going to watch it again this weekend. Laura. I love her. I swear it has absolutely nothing to do with pneumatics. (crosses fingers). As for big Tom, he's a favorite right after Sam Elliot.
Cruz could lose worse than Trump, that’s sure true. But Trump’s loss is a pure certainty unless Trump turns around his relative negatives. Supporting Trump without a clear argument how he becomes more popular — or Clinton more unpopular — is sheer folly.

Cool, we're practically in agreement about something.
The electoral map is daunting. Any (D) can get elected by grabbing just a few purple states, we have to fight like mad to grab 70+ votes out of there just to squeak in. And this is an ongoing change, day by day, minute by minute, against us.
This is why it crucial to drop the doctrinaire bullsh!t for this one office ( Mark Levin ) because we cannot lose it this time. The entire executive branch including the Supreme Court, every cabinet, the DoJ, and practically every civil servant rests on one single outcome. It is not an election of a single man like every other office is. Forcing in their doctrinaire perfect conservative is a Roulette wheel gamble on the green ( it's actually worse, a longshot prop bet in craps ). The stakes are too high to satisfy their inner perfectionism, their conservative obsessive compulsive disorder.
The only quibble is about those "negatives". Remeber, this is push polling defined. The various polls are not even comparable to each other without rigid controls and a large sample and thus a large expenditure of money.
Look back at those links I provided. The comparison in 1980 is the head-to-head Gallup and this shows Reagan always worse than Trump, -63 to -68 all the way through summer 1980. And that makes it very impressive because Reagan had a completely different and highly favorable demographic ( 100 million less population, WWI, WWI, Korea era sensibilities ). Reagan also had a highly damaged foe in President Carter ( worse than Hillary ), and less competitors! The fact that Trump is outperforming Reagan by every measure against vicious attacks puts the lie to his unfavorability.
As far as turning them around? If it is Hillary then he really doesn't need a big turnaround. But don't believe the numbers anyway. They're crazy this far out and they are push polls. But they will turn around nonetheless.
I didn't necessarily mean to imply he was being "controlled" by the Russians, as in, perhaps, being blackmailed over something they have on him, but rather that he's a *willing* advocate for them. For what reason, who knows. But there is definitely something wrong, and potentially very dangerous, with his soft positions on Putin and Russia, combined with his weak support for NATO.

" Trump's relationship with Russia goes far back. In 1987, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, he was meeting with Soviet officials and negotiating the building of "luxury hotels" in Moscow and Leningrad .
A story at the time said Trump had met Soviet Ambassador Yuri Dubinin, who mentioned how much his daughter had admired the "opulent" Trump Tower in New York City. This led to an invitation to Trump to visit the USSR. The story said Dubinin wrote a letter to Trump, who hosted a meeting with Soviet officials in New York.
The invitation to Moscow was issued by Intourist, the giant Soviet in-country travel organization which operated all the hotels for foreigners in the Soviet Union.
Intourist was created in 1929 by Joseph Stalin and run by KGB officials. Intourist hotels were designed for wealthy foreigners, and virtually all the Intourist guides were KGB informers. In fact, one aspect of their jobs was the recruitment of foreigners. ..."
"...we are left thinking [whether] Trump understands the aggressive intentions of Vladimir Putin.
"...when Trump was asked about the nuclear balance with Russia during the most recent Republican presidential debate, he displayed ignorance of the decaying nature of the U.S. nuclear triad, which constitutes our ability to deter and survive a Russian nuclear first strike.
"Putin has just presided over a ceremony honoring the KGB's successor agencies, and the Russia Today (RT) propaganda channel has announced the grand opening of a "cultural center" dedicated to mass murderer Joseph Stalin.
It looks like Putin has outmaneuvered Obama and Trump. It is an opening for Trump's opponents, especially Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Marco Rubio (R-FL). But do they have the courage to "follow the money" and hold Trump accountable for doing business with a criminal regime that threatens the survival of the United States? At the end of this money trail, they may find an explanation of why Trump is so reluctant to hold Putin responsible for his crimes.
