Interesting. The way those polls read, you'd think Bernie was on top of the DNC.

Trump has little to no chance in general, I think he knows this and is determined to get his good friend hillary elected.

 

[Franklin Pierce]

All general election polls will be meaningless until September, then you can begin to give them some credence.

You probably could have picked a better historical reference since that was a Democratic upset of a popular Republican.

So audio has leaked out from the MSNBC hosted Townhall with Donald Trump where Mika and Joe are caught feeding Trump questions during the break and mutually agreeing on what to ask and not ask him.

While 40% of all Republicans sit home.

Will absolutely NOT happen. The alternative is BENGHAZI HILLARY. The Republicans will be Energized like none since 1980!

Obviously I cant help what any other person does but I will not vote for Trump. My family has stated they will not vote for Trump they will also stay home

Seems to be the consensus around my family too that are republicans, and to anyone that has more than half a brain..

At first several liked him and supported him, but as time as went along they saw who he really is and they are all now between Cruz and Rubio (like myself)

 

[TheColdVolTruth]

We need to stop pretending that Trump doing stupid things will have any impact on his poll numbers. He has his 30-35% of the electorate (at least) in pretty much every state.

The only way he loses is if Kasich, Carson, and one of Rubio/Cruz bail within the next few weeks.

I don't think it would matter if three of the other four dropped out today. If the remaining candidate could knock Trump out of the GOP nomination, I think he would run as an independent. Anyone who thinks Donald Trump respects the "pledge" is only kidding themselves. As an independent, he would pull some democratic supporters, but he would be a bigger drain on the GOP. Game over. The democrat wins. The fix is already in.

Good. The guy acted like a dick.

New Utah Poll:

Rubio 24
Cruz 22
Trump 18
Bush 9
Carson 9
Kasich 4

Utah is 40 at large delegates.

 

[golfballs]

Can't imagine Utah as a state Trump would do well in

Damage control. The photoshop and the stuff they made up about Rubio and the Bible in addition to the Iowa shenanigans need a fall guy

More than I expected out of him. Good for Cruz.

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

Just an FYI. Trumps son is better than anything the GOPe put up this year.

 

[carlos86]

More than I expected out of him. Good for Cruz.

The funny thing is that he used the press conference announcing that he was firing him to attack Rubio at the same time.

 

[Carl Pickens]

None of the other candidates are egotistical thin-skinned narcissists who lack subject matter knowledge of any subject or policy.

BS.... They're all narcissistic or they wouldn't be running. You're also being very generous with the claim that the others have policy knowledge. They're all dirty.

 

[Carl Pickens]

I agree with you, and if Trump/Cruz wins, unfortunately HRC will get my vote.

I hope you don't get holed up in an embassy and need assistance

 

[volinbham]

Yep. This move was for cover, not for principle.

Under the bus you go.

 

[volinbham]

Yep. Trump is the one most outwardly narcissistic but it's there in most of them.

Also, I bet Trump is tuned into world economic affairs better than any of them.

Finally, I agree that most don't have huge policy knowledge. They have people that develop policy for them.

Being in the Senate is an advantage on some policy areas but as Christie pointed out (again, again, and again) being a Senator is not an executive training position.

Don't be calling at 3 am. for any help. She's a slime ball if ever there was one.
