Newt Gingrich said Trump is the biggest study he has ever seen since Bill Clinton
What is a "big study?"

I’ve given Rush a few passes on some things, but I tuned in today for the first time in a week or so and I heard that call. During this election season, Rush has really damaged the trust I had built up for him over the years. I’m not ready to say I’ll never listen again, but I will say that it probably isn’t possible to rebuild that trust.
Levin, I’m done with for good and he’ll never see another dime from me for any of his books. Same with Beck.

FOX fawning over Rubio. He called Trump a con artist at least 5-6 times and the 'downticket disaster' meme about 4 times. Have some more hits Marco.
I hope he loses by at least 20. .

Unbelievable.
His anger is real but it is so unfocused and artificial — good for you Ted, you one your ‘home’ state and an immediate neighbor — you were creamed everywhere else —that’s why you’re angry and cranky, not because you think you’re saving Estados Unidos.
To: ShivaFan
I pray Newt comes out more and speaks good about Trump - it will really be a great thing. Yeah, an endorsement from a has-been and also-ran is just the thing.
Most people under 35 would say "Newt who?"

No, Amanda is the one who sticks up for Cruz all the time, the other one is S.E. Cupp. Shes allegedly a conservative but most of time just babbles. But Ive noticed its fun to watch her with the sound muted - shes got a very animated style ;-)

sending Cruz 35$. Wonder if Trump and his friends really have the funds to take on Hillary!

“And this talk of going after Trump by Rubio isnt going to sell well.”
You want to talk about a con job; Rubio can’t even pull off a half decent con job.

You misunderstood that tweet. The tweet was not inclusive to Northern Virginia. It singled out NVA because this is the strongest part of the state for Rubio. I can write without a doubt, exit polls are spread throughout the state and not just northern Virginia. In fact, the networks themselves do not handle the exit polls. Because of the expense, all the networks, the cable news companies and large print companies split the cost of the exit polls - they all get the same data and, of course, will report on it as they see fit. The importance of the exit poll is not necessarily who is the projected winner, but the reams of data on who voted and why they voted the way they did. A third party manages the exit polling for the news organizations.
To prove that the exit polls were indeed across the state, the exit polls at 7 pm when the voting ceased, showed Trump tied with Rubio (CBS) or Trump a few points ahead (Fox) - it is how they interpret the data. Rubio was expected to be strong in NVA and Trump strong in southern Virginia. In NVA, Rubio got twice the vote Trump did. If the exit polls were only in NVA, the networks would have called it immediately for Rubio by a 2 to 1 margin and of course, they did not do that.
As we know, Trump won by 3 points (almost all the vote is in - only 17 precincts are missing). For them to have that accurate of an exit poll required them obtaining data all around the state not just NVA.
Again, do you really think big news organizations that spend millions of dollars collecting this data, would willfully only have exit polls in one corner of the state that would guarantee wrong data in front of millions of viewers. No, not at all. The exit poll for Virginia was very close to the actual result which proves the exit polls were conducted all across the state, and not just in NVA. Rubio beat Trump 2 to 1 in Northern Va. The exit polls would have shown a Rubio landslide in the state and it did not.

To: TomasUSMC
That’s a good sign for the general election as well.
The GOPe is going to be in meltdown mode. Trump can primary them after he’s elected and take out the disloyal Rs.

Why is Trump coming in 3rd in Minnesota?? Rubio is winning MN.

I noticed that when Trump congratulated Cruz, his crowd stayed silent. When Cruz congratulated Trump his crowd booed.

Trump didn’t campaign in MN.
As a state, its not where he would spend a great deal of time in a general election campaign.
Big deal if Rubio wins tonight there.
The state hasn’t gone for a GOP candidate since 1972.

Not sure how to go back that far to post 1350. Hopefully Cruz catches him. I don’t want to see that little sh@t win any states

Lighten up. Attacks only raise defenses.
