	Trump Soars in Latest CA, NY, CT, MD, PA Polls
	Those who had written off Donald Trump need to reconsider things in light of recent polls in five states. Trump has soared in the latest polls in California, New York, Connecticut, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. In no recent polls of upcoming state primaries did Trump lose ground. State by state, lets take a look. California In  the latest poll by YouGov, Trumps margin soared to 28 percentage points over Cruz, up from 9-10 percentage point in the two preceding polls. This was barely enough to tip the state to Trump’s category from Cruz in Silver’s Secret Sauce methodology, but in Polls only things are looking might good for Trump. Nate Silver’s Polls Only California Forecast....

I kind of like Felito. But I digress. Nobody has to slur Cruz as there is just so much real stuff to criticize. That’s one of many reasons he can’t get past 25% in the polls. Its a little late in the primary game to still be coming in third behind Kasich. After the next 4-5 primaries Cruz is going to be done. Even Rush who pimps Cruz night and day said he can’t withstand anymore third place finishes.

I don't know if you are Catholic, but this Catholic regards Bergoglio as not only not a conservative in any meaningful sense, he is quite likely not very Catholic either. For the first time in my life, if someone asks: Is the pope Catholic? We Catholics must honestly admit that we are not sure or that we are sure he is not. Periodically God punishes Catholics for our sins by sending us outrageously and spectacularly bad popes. This is one of those periods. Hopefully the next conclave will be held soon and will not repeat the horrendous blunder of the most recent one.

Liberal? Not the Hispanics (mostly Mexicans) I know around Rockford, IL.

One of my best friends in Connecticut is the son of a Columbian immigrant mother and a now deceased Italian father. He is most famous for his ringing defense of Pius XII against ridiculous allegations of being "Hitler's pope," writes for Inside the Vatican and First Things and National Review and has been an invited speaker at the Vatican. You should be so fortunate to be as conservative as he is. So should I.

The Mexicans ARE social conservatives. Their Catholicism is sometimes more in question. Some become Evangelicals or even Pentecostals but, in doing so, become more likely to be Republican and politically conservative across the board. This is also true of SOME Puerto Ricans on the mainland.

Most first generation immigrants are seduced by the Demonrats with promises of the welfare state safety net even though many take no advantage of it. It is a safety net in what seems to them a strange land. Many are ambitious for educational opportunity. At our local community college, many engineering students are Hispanic and avid learners who will go on to complete their professional studies at four year universities.

In the foreign homelands of my British, Scottish, Irish, Canadian and German ancestors, the cultures did not support liberty, freedom of religion, self defense, freedom of speech. If England which came closest had supported such liberties, no revolution in the "colonies" would have been necessary. The Canadians and Germans and Scots and Irish fared no better at home. My ancestors wanted to come here for those and other reasons and easily learned to enjoy American liberties. There were individuals from those countries whom we could do without. Most were worth having here. There is no DNA for loving chains and slavery.

At the moment the Muslims are another story because of our inability to recognize the "religiously" motivated criminal lunatics among them. They cannot pass to us the responsibility of policing their own. They have to stay home until they clean up their act convincingly for a very long time. The safety of our own people, all of them, demands that we exclude potential terrorists."

Unless you ask, I won't recite a litany of outstanding immigrants who achieved massively for themselves but also for our country. If you deny that, just say so and I will do a litany starting with Andrew Carnegie who came here from Scotland as a child with his widowed mother. Ever use products of US Steel? Or visit a Carnegie funded public library? For a orphaned immigrant child, he did just fine and he paid it forward.

This year, we had TWO Cuban American candidates for POTUS, both already elected US Senators. That is America at its best. Nikki Haley and Bobby Jindal's roots are in India before parents emigrated here. The late Daniel Inouye may have had a very regrettably liberal Senate voting record but no one can deny that he lost his arm in combat in Europe during WW II and was a genuine hero while our country was confining his fellow Nisei to what amounted to somewhat comfortable concentration camps because we did not trust them.

Ironically, it was the FDR Democrats who confined the Nisei and then California Governor Earl Warren, a nominal Republican, who was in charge of the caps but the Democrats get most of the Japanese Americans' votes. Republican Douglas MacArthur was practically deified by the Japanese in Japan for his humane post-war rule there and even more so by South Koreans after he chased the reds out and was fired for his eagerness to conquer the North and seal the Chinese border with a radioactive cobalt strip (that would be a relatively cheap and very effective Wall that does not even spoil the landscape). Cross it and you get cancer and die.

Puerto Ricans are reasonably responsible (not their government but the people themselves in Puerto Rico). When they come through, New York City, they are bedded by the welfare state leeches. How eager are even they for abortion or deviant sex in their own ranks?

When was the last time you were hospitalized in patient? Who treated you? I had the aforementioned Filipinos, a young and very talented Romanian hospitalist, two fine Pakistani Muslim women hospitalists. a German surgeon, a Russian hospitalist of questionable competence, a superb Indian physical therapist for challenging rehabilitation, two very good American therapists, a black African male nurse of superb competence and concern, a few aging American nurses of good experience and who gave good care and a wonderful caring Mexican American Certified Nursing Assistant who saw to my every medical and grooming need but no other Mexicans or Hispanics other than Filipinos. It was a regular United Nations of medical personnel. I was well served.

No one bails on medical or math credentials or most hard sciences because of corporate greedheads as usual. I come from an absolute AFL-CIO ancestry and that is no "cheap labor lie." American factory workers have been displaced by cheap labor or by exporting the factories themselves. Lately H1B visas have been abused to hire cheaper foreign labor. Good jobs in IT and not justifiable to replace readily available qualified Americans for cheaper foreigners.

Where did I play the “race card?” Just the facts and not the editorial.

[MaxFlint]

I'm not speaking to the competence of immigrant workers, I'm talking about jobs and higher wages for Americans. It's supply and demand. By bringing in millions of immigrants, legal and illegal, American wages and benefits have been driven down. In fact the more competent and hard working the immigrants are the more of a threat they are to American workers, especially when, as is almost always the case, they'll work for lower wages with no benefits.

Then add to that downward pressure on American living standards the transformation of American politics brought about by mass immigration and you get what we have. An increasingly leftist country with stagnant wages and a buyer's market for labor.

I don't believe in global meritocracy. America is unique, it has a different culture. I want to keep it that way. The best way to maintain the difference between America and the global miserable average is to lock it down. No more immigration, not even of the best and the brightest. Let them brighten their own countries. This one is full.

Colorado was rigged. None other than Rush Limbaugh admitted as much a few days ago.

But go on with your GOPe-embracing denial.

you're totally missing what's happening with the Trump Revolution, apparently because you're so ideologically pure that you put your own narrow perception ahead of what's nest for the country.

The GOP needs to expand its base, and Donald Trump is doing that. Donald Trump can make demographic inroads that Ted Cruz could only dream of.

When Trump wins the Presidency, the Democrat party will be relegated to minority status for decades to come.

Ted Cruz's appeal is extremely narrow.

I hope you wake up before too long, because you're really missing out on the wave that's building, and it's going to be a positive, pro-America wave.

The knee-jerk hatred showed by the anti-Trump crowd is really appalling. They're all thinking exactly the way they've been told to think by the Media/GOPe/Cruz campaign.

Ted Cruz has lost. He will have been mathematically eliminated after the next Tuesday or two. His only hope was to get the nomination at a contested GOP convention, which would irreparably splinter the party, and guarantee a GOP defeat in November.

Simply put, that's not going to happen. Not even the crooked GOPe is that stupid.

Vote Trump

[sargon]

You have a lot of truth packed into this post but Billionaire lifelong liberal Demonrat Donald Trump is not the answer to the problem.

A lengthy, well-sourced and cited post was made this weekend which totally puts the lie to your anti-Trump propaganda.

Donald Trump has been talking about some of these issues, like illegal immigration, for decades, and during that time he has been registered as a Republican for much longer than he has been registered as a Democrat.

You're just regurgitating the slanted spin that you've been fed, but eventually you will need to review the facts for yourself and grow.

Maybe someone on this thread can post a link to the article I;m referring to, which Jim Robinson helped to repost.

The Trump-haters are becoming more and more irrelevant and comical. I'm sire mos of them will be on board by November though. It's just too bad that we have to have such a contentious process due to the intransigence of the Ted Cruz fanboys.

But Cruz's fanboys will fall into line as soon as Ted Cruz tells them to. Ted will probably have to show a little leadership and tell his supporters that it's OK to unify the party behind the presumptive nominee, Donald Trump.

The writing is on the wall, and even the most obtuse and naive Cruz supporter will be reading it in clear, bold type before too long, starting with tomorrow night...

Bye, America!

Why? Because someone who wants to make America great again isn't your preferred candidate?

America has been gone for a while now. We the People going to bring it back, with or without your help.

We're going to have a flawed candidate, because he's a human being. He also happens to be a perfectly decent American who loves his country dearly and is willing to work his heart out to try to help make America Great again.

Your bitterness really has you lashing out blindly at this point...

[sargon]

He did well down South by using Mexican bashing as his signature issue. And the otherwise sensible South fell for it.

Your desperation is really doing you a disservice. Your logic is nonexistent.

Just out of control bitterness...

[sargon]

Hey, with a lead among the male Republican voters and a deep deficit among women Republican voters, how can Trump fail to beat the Demorats in the fall?

Is there any "liberal Democrat" propaganda that you won't regurgitate? Donald Trump is doing better with women than Ted Cruz. That's right!

You're just parroting every anti-Trump talking point that the Left/Media/GOPe is spoon-feeding you.

People on this forum are not "low information voters", and that mean that you and the remaining Cruz fanboys are really starting to look foolish.

There's really no point in even engaging such knee-jerk denseness...

[sargon]

I wanted Walker. I still do.

I like Walker, especially for his battling the Democrat Union thugs.

He'd make a good VP for Trump. Maybe that would settle you down...

[sargon]

What are his numbers among Hispanics?

In Arizona, for instance, Trump did better among Hispanics than either Cruz or Rubio, both of whom are Hsipanic.

Your feeble parroting of factually incorrect Establishment propaganda really needs to stop.

Donald Trump is doing quite decently with Hispanics, contrary to the spin you'd like to believe. Same is true for Blacks.

You really don't understand what's happening, do you?

Your blind hatred is totally preventing you from seeing the reality of this movement.

Nobody is saying that Donald Trump is perfect. He's just infinitely more preferable and viable than any of our other options, including Ted Cruz.

It's not even a close call.

Vote Trump

Mary was a sinner just like every other human being that ever lived, with the exception of Jesus Christ.

His intended policy is to get himself elected for the greater glory of Trump.

No, that's your hysterical projection of what Trump's intended policy is.

Your hatred for the man is clearly impairing your judgement.

And I keep hearing how angry Trump voters are!

It appears that Trump-haters such as your ilk make Trump voters seem as calm as Ben Carson by comparison...

[Pelham]

Many latinos want a jefe to follow. And Trump has that in spades.

[Plummz]

I agree that you are an anti-American globalist!

[Lazamataz]

You are evil.

[BlackElk]

And both of you are gullible.

[Lazamataz]

Did you know the word ‘gullible’ is not in the dictionary?

Fellow Freepers,

You are responding to a two week old post. The state of the John Birch Society will have no bearing on the nominee of the Republican Party. All of us can agree to kick out the Romneys and the Bushes and to replace their money with real voters who don’t like the emanating scent from the GOP-E.

The race is settled, and we all agree to avoid Obama III: Bride of Clinton.
