A G.O.P. Majority in New Hampshire Pipes Up: We’re Not for Trump
MSN News ^ | Jan 22, 1016 | MICHAEL BARBARO and ASHLEY PARKER

Jeanne Cleveland, a retired teacher, pursed her lips sourly at the mention of his name and tried to summarize her distaste in diplomatic terms.

"I think he's arrogant," she said. "I think he's rude. I think-"

She paused, reaching for the right words. "Let's just say, I don't like the way he represents us as a country."

To avoid any confusion, Mrs. Cleveland put it plainly: "I don't like Trump."

This is why DT loses to Cruz in NH head to head.
This is why 30% in NH say they will NEVER vote for DT.
Internal polling puts Cruz favorables in the 70s and unfavorables in the teens.
DT comes no where close to Cruz.
I share their views. He is petty, used intimidation to destroy people who cross him for decades and still does. There is no reason to trust him on anything except to take his word for it.

You are not the only one Mrs Cleveland. Plenty of Americans agree with ya. One thing is certain, Donald Trump is a nasty piece of work.

I know you “Surging Ted” fans are reeling from the schlonging he got from Comrade Bernie on the Drudge Super poll but grasping at straws like this is unbecoming. When Drudge polled the nation about who won the last debate he did something he had not done before. He released a few state by state breakdowns. Among them was New Hampshire which went to Trump 51/34. Polls showing Trump crushing “Surging Ted” have been around for months. Your belief that a few people who hate Trump in New Hampshire are going to help Goldman’s candidate is embarrassing.

So where’s this “majority” in the article?


Apparently it is the number of people they talked to for the article. And the people they talked to were attending events fro other GOP candidates.

If the article were about Cruz, that would be their logic...

Take it up with the author of the piece...I merely answered the question by using “higher mathematics” /s

Primaries don’t work like that. The one with the most votes wins. It’s not a negative referendum. Trump is on the way to huge victories despite a very large field of legitimate candidates. He’s destroying the field. The field is not winning in any way shape or form.

Whistling past the graveyard honey. Cruz is done, it’s over, in fact it never was for Cruz. I bet the guy loses the Iowa caucus, loses in NH, SC and will drop out the night of super Tuesday. Get used to president Trump darlin

A majority of one.

As a Republican, for Trump, against Trump, does not matter so much in the long run. Because for every Republican in the general election that will not pull the lever for Trump, there are probably three or four “uncommitted” middle-of-the-roaders that would do so cheerfully, even gleefully.

Barring wholly unexpected and highly unlikely circumstances, there is an ever greater chance daily that The Donald will, in fact, be the Republican nominee for President by July 21, 2016, if not sooner.

And that is not so awfully long from now.

-- Did anyone actually find that "majority" in the article? --

Isn't "three", by definition, "a majority?"

I get it.

In all your posts you say how much you hate Donald Trump.

Won’t we know what the majority of Republicans in New Hampshire think once they’ve held their primary, which is quite soon?

That's such stupid logic. So if Kasich is polling in second-place and at 15% in New Hampshire, does that mean 85% of the NH GOP hates John Kasich?

You're right, it doesn't logically follow. But it could still be true. :)
