Lol, I got Marco w/78%, followed by Gilmore, and Jeb. BTW, I marked neutral for a lot of the answers.

Cruz just pulled another goodie where he pulled Carson into a closet for an emergency meeting. Carson said it didn’t go well.

Cruz as usual trying to say met with Carson and everything’s coming up roses.

Ok, I have a little game all the Trump supporters can play while we’re waiting. Go to the biased FoxNews site below and try to answer the 20 questions in a way that will put Donald J. Trump above #6 or #7 of your top results. For some reason it keeps giving me Rubio. LOL!

LOL indeed. That was fun. Thanks for the link.

I was surprised at the result (but not enough to go back and see if I made a careless error on one or two responses). I came out with essentially a three way tie for first: Jeb Bush, 86%; Ted Cruz, 85%; and Jim Gilmore, 85%. Marco Rubio was not far back at 80%. Kasich and Carson were respectable also-rans at 76% and 75%.

Trump was marginally better than the best of the Democrats, with 65% to Jim Webb's 54%. Clinton and Sanders were 35% and 24%.

I did not play with the intensity scale to overweight some preferences. That would probably make a substantial difference. I also did this quickly and may have carelessly misread something. I may go back and do it more carefully just for fun, but I would urge others on the first time through to just let go and go with the flow. As you note, the results are a little surprising.

You want to talk about "harassed"? One of your lovely Cruz cohorts called me a "stinky ass".

That's mild and your harasser was probably projecting.

I got that beat. Check this, last night I read, "Trump has become a cult leader of frothing fanatics, many of whose hatred matches that of the Nazi Youth against Jews, Communist, and those who opposed Hitler".

This is comedy gold.

I think not likely. I think Trump genuinely likes Carson, but would want someone with more energy than Ben. Besides, Trump already said he expects he’d select a politician as VP. (Probably because a politician knows the ins and outs of the DC scene.)

I see Carson holding a high position in the administration, but not VP.

Trump said yesterday he would pick someone in politics. Said he’s the outsider, don’t need two outsiders.

“Good grief! I came up with Gilmore.”

Doesn’t exactly inspire much faith in the poll - Gilmore should even be on there, since he dropped out.

What do you think the likelihood of a Trump/Carson ticket is?

I'm a Cruz supporter, but, if it has to be so - Cruz gets nominated to the Supreme Court. He is a constitutional layer and strict constitutionalists. He would be another Justice Scalia.

Took the survey.

Looks like Jim Gilmore is my man!

Where is he?

When does Rush Levin and Hannity dump Cruz?

Rush won't dump anyone until the fat lady sings. Levin and Hannity along with Beck have already dumped Trump.

“You want to talk about “harassed”? One of your lovely Cruz cohorts called me a “stinky ass”. (And here I assumed FR posters had to be over the age of 8.) I’ve never seen that from a Trump supporter.”

That’s the some lovely individual who called me a cockroach - and spelled “cockroach” wrong. Snort. :-)

From what I’ve read here, there and around and about, many Dems will vote for Trump because they like him. Notice that there have been no polls, that I have seen, that include ALL likely voters, when asking about all the candidates. Wait till those numbers are revealed. Trump’s supporters including large numbers of Dems, Indepentents, and people who never have voted, but plan to vote for Trump.

I think that is a pretty good summary.

I think you are full of it.

***Cruz is merely (at the moment) the leading threat to Trump. ***

Disagree, I believe Rubio the GOP-e’s new golden boy is the biggest threat.
