I think, during the Presidential debates, HRC should make it a goal to get Trump to drop an f-bomb about minorities. Or women. Or voters. It would really put the cherry on this.

Is there any point in having any debates if Trump is the nominee?

I think Hillary should refuse to debate Trump.

There is just no way that Carnival Cruz is going to be able to wrestle this away from Rump.

I’m very curious about what happens when he comes out starting tomorrow, IIRC, with his Serious Grownup Policy Speeches complete with facts, teleprompters, coherent sentences, all that fun stuff.

I think it’s done. I have no idea what Kasich is thinking to stay in. Cruz is mathematically out but is hoping for some bomb shell to derail Trump in 1st round of voting.

Even fewer–among those who publicly admit they are Republicans.

Point of reference…Trump needs to win 58% of the white female vote (Romney got 56%)

Trump unfavorables among white females is 67%…

Bullshit!, he only got 60 percent in the latest republican primary and I bet a lot of non-Trump folks didn’t even vote because they thought all three candidates suck.

I don’t trust survey monkey polls either. I don’t think they are very carefully done polls. They are voluntary and people hope they are going to win something on that cheesy spinning wheel they have. Seems like something that would attract people that would vote for Trump!

It worked, didn’t it? You saw it and had a tiny sinking feeling in your stomach and a strong, nearly uncontrollable urge to click? Yep…we got click-rolled.

No. “Among REGISTERED Republicans who answered the Land Line Phone and were willing to talk to a Pollster.”
An even narrower slice of the voting block.

It remains to be seen if trump gets the nom on the 1st ballot. Trump thinks he’s got the Presidency sewed up. I would beg to differ on that point. One thing’s sure. I plan on avoiding Cleveland in July. I’ll watch from home, assuming I can stand the blather.

Actually I had gone to realclearpolitics.com and looked up the current polls myownself. Then I clicked so I could offer up a pithy observation. :wink:
Real Clear Politics can be a reassuring wade thru the polls.

Yes I did. That said, it kind of show that my thoughts that a lot of republicans probably didn’t vote is why he got 60% in the latest primary. I’m sure he’ll get fewer if all republican’s voted and since it was survey monkey he got 50% because his followers are looking to win the wheel of monkey.

Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) support has decreased slightly each of the last three weeks, netting 26 percent in the latest poll.

Every article you read about Cruz reinforces the fact that the more people see and hear of him, the more time they spend around him, the less they like him.
