Stunning turnaround in Trump vs. Hillary matchup
WND ^ | 5/02/2016 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 05/03/2016 6:32:13 AM PDT by detective

For months, Ohio Gov. John Kasich has been arguing that he should be the Republican nominee for president because polls show he would defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton in the general election while front-runner Donald Trump would lose.

Sen. Ted Cruz has made similar arguments, contending that to nominate Trump is to vote for Clinton.

They may want to develop a new argument.

A new Rasmussen poll shows Trump in the lead in a face-off with Clinton.

IF Trump is the nominee it will be refreshing to have a Republican running who is willing to fight back. We always seem to have one hand tied behind our backs with candidate who won’t fight the Dem on their own terms.


McCain 2008
Romney 2012

Both were very pro-Obama.

Just curious, but what did Buddy the Chocolate Labrador do to oppose Hillary?

Except for every court case that found the opposite. And deportation. Jeez. Get control. This is a joke.

Mr. GG2 and I were just speculating about that last night. I knew that as soon as Trump wrapped up the GOP nomination his numbers agains’t HIllary would rise fast. Looks like I was right. He is going to beat her like a drum.

Man, you keep moving the goal posts...”Trump will be creamed by Hillary, Cruz is the only one that can beat her.” Now, when polls show Trump beating her, now it’s “national polls” don’t matter, it’s only state by state. Well, where do you think the states are located? In the nation which serves as a “temperature”, of course states can vary, but give the guy some credit. He has turned this around and likely will bury her by the time it comes to November.

Uh huh.

Funny no mention of the other poll same day that has Hildabeast up by 11. And this was an odd poll question-wise. And it’s Rasmussen which has a very poor track record until it “adjusts” two weeks before an election.

But hey. We deserve what we get here by actually thinking Trump should be elected to anything.

“They could slide Biden in there if it looks like she can’t win, or if her health problems get too big to hide.”

Strike that, reverse it. If it looks like she can’t win then they will claim her health problems will become too big for her to continue.

Nope, it’s what Loser Cruzers should get for thinking Ted Cruz could win a national election. He’s the worst national candidate in generations. The Bible thumping social conservative who lost the entire south to the “NY Liberal”. The American people have utterly rejecTED Cruz.

IMHO Trump will destroy Cruz on May 3 and Shrillary on Nov 9

This nation is divided, and from 2008 & 2012 we see how difficult it is now for any Republican to win. Unfettered immigration and the welfare state w/ more than half in the wagon & less than half pulling it make victory for the GOP a crapshoot. We’re going to see more close Gore v. Bush or not-so-close Obama v. McCain/Romney going forward. And that will make national polls less predictive, IMO.

The poll did not show Trump beating Hillary — within the margin of error, so effectively tied. And only one poll; others don't show Trump beating Hillary. Obama was a weak candidate in 2008 and even weaker in 2012, yet he won rather handily both times. Hillary is another weak ‘RAT, but the demographics are against the GOPe, and running yet another Democrat Lite against a full-on Socialist is a non-starter. Need stark differences that only Cruz offers, conservative vs. leftist.

So why do you repeat all the untruths and garbage ??

to slur him more while hiding behind others’ quotations?

Trump is the best candidate and we are very lucky that he stepped into this race. And he’s the best man for the job.

And he will win in spite of people like yourself.

Cruz appeals to 22% of the electorate, that number will not win national elections.
