Republicans are...

[leader]

Dumbasses!!!

Like Trump or not he has polarized a lot of people who are fed up. When the writhing was on the wall and he was pulling away, did the party rally behind him and start his campaign toward Hilary, NO they continue to bash and sling dirt on him. Rubio is an also ran and he is running mud adds in FL. Ted Cruz is getting it handed to him and he is the loudest one saying Trump can't beat Hilary.
Seems to me if a month ago they would have taken their beats owns like men instead of like politicians they could have rallied behind Trump and start on winning the election. This late in the race it is ridiculous to be shouting to the masses Trump can't beat Hilary, people hear it enough and will start believing it.
And on the Trump side, stop going to liberal strong holds and having rallies. When the animals come out and protest and get beat down it makes the right look bad.
JMO, it SUX we are going to have 8 more years of liberal crap...

I was about to post about the Chicago rally. I saw animals, push literally coming to shove. Regardless of which "pub" candidate we support, if these liberal slime balls want to start this physical attack then I believe they will lose, and lose more than they're closed mind can fathom. Go ahead liberal thugs, honest patriotic Americans are fed completely up with your BS attempt to have the rest of us pay for your sorry asses. Rant dedinitely not over, just beginning I'm afraid.

The protesters are out in mass especially in Chicago. They are feeling threatened. In fact they have been threatened. Donald Trump threatened their way of life by threatening/promising to bring jobs back to the U.S.A. This will upset their way of life. They will have no excuse to hollar my "titlemunts."

Those who benefit the most from having a radical Leftist in power are going to react violently to whoever most threatens their power-base, which currently is Trump. if Trump were not there, they would be after Cruz.

But as for the electability of Trump, he's never polled above any Democratic challenger. He has a minority who supports him ardently, but he never has and never will have a majority who could elect him in a national election. He is too deeply despised and mistrusted to gather that majority.

[farmin68]

At this point, 23 of 50 states have voted and 42% of the delegates have been awarded.

Since Super Tuesday, 923 delegates have been awarded and Trump he's won 39.1% to Cruz's 36.4%.

Trump: 361

Cruz: 336

Rubio: 140

Kasich : 54

This is a close race between Trump and Cruz. There is still a lot of time left in this primary, and it's far too early for the party to rally around one candidate. They are still in the process of choosing their nominee. The real race against Hillary starts at the convention in August.

If this were a football game, it's 12 minutes into the second quarter and Trump is leading by a field goal.


BSK said it well. Hillary will destroy Trump. He's lived a public life for 40 years and there is lots of dirt on him... bankruptcies, shady business deals, Trump University, and ties with the mafia. Then there's the womanizing...andbragging about it. Hillary will capitalize on every bit of it.

[farmin68]

You are dead on about Rubio. He has no path to the 1,237 delegates needed.

Rubio Is still in this race for one of two reasons; Either he is secretly Donald Trump's best friend...

Or he is initiating the Mitt Romney plan and working with the establishment toward a brokered convention. Since Rubio called for his voters to vote for Kasich in Ohio, it appears Marco Is placing his White House ambitions on a brokered convention.


Regardless of reason, he is definitely pulling delegates from Ted Cruz. Analysts say Cruz will pick up 80% of his voters if/when he drops out. Something he clearly should have already done.

To your point 68, Trump won't defer to other candidates and with his following who blames him.
But when the Trump train started gaining steam the Pubs could rally him.
Either way it's amazing to me the thought is Trump can't beat Hillary because of his public life but Hillary is electable with her marriage to Bill and history as SOS....

If we are going to get behind a candidate this early based on his ability to beat Hillary, that candidate should be Ted Cruz. Polls have consistently shown Cruz being the only Republican beating Hillary in the general.

Dems will vote for a treasonous criminal such as Hillary because the great majority of them don't care about a candidate's character

The Republican base has some standards their candidate has to meet before they will turn out in numbers large enough to win. That's most likely why Trump doesn't poll well in the general election. Sure, he's winning now, but there is a ceiling on the percentage of R's who will vote for him.

Surely to goodness ALL Republicans cans would turn out to vote against 8 more years of the current atrocity. If not, their not very bright and possibly not Repub.....

One would think they would turn out in large numbers this year, but history shows that the Republican base has to be motivated by their candidate. When Republicans have a conservative nominee, they win the White House.

I wouldn't say it means they are not Republicans when they don't turn out. I see it as a trait of Republicans And a somewhat admirable one at that.The base votes on principle. The frustrating part, and the part that has so many angry, is that the establishment power brokers know exactly what kind of candidate will motivate their base, but they are continually trying to push the party more and more liberal And that's why you see candidates like Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, John McCain, Mitt Romney, etc.

I will not vote for Trump.

What farmin68 said. Repubs are sort of between a rock and a hard place. They realize they need the growing Independent vote to win the general election, so they push a more moderate candidate. But when they've done that, the base doesn't show up.

The Republican base will never rally behind Trump, who just a few years ago was a screaming liberal, backing all their policies and candidates.

[BSK]

I will not vote for Trump.

I'm a right-leaning Independent, and I too would NEVER vote for Trump. Heck, I might vote for Satan himself before I would vote for Trump. Trump is a dangerous idiot. He has ZERO understanding of the world's problems or how our government works.

So when it comes down to Trump vs Hillary for President, who are you going to pick?

Which is the lesser of the evil?

The best answer I can give right now is I'll probably leavethat up to the misdirected voters that nominated those two dangerous candidates.

Best statement on the campaign trail last week;
Trump and Clinton are two sides of the same coin. Trump made his billions buying politicians like Hillary, and she made her millions by selling out to people like Trump. - Carly Fiorina while stumping for Cruz

So you would'nt vote at all if it came down to those two?

Honestly, I don't know who I'd vote for. Probably Trump. I have a feeling that one is almost just as bad as the other.

To each their own, but I just totally disagree with someone not voting because they did not get their way(candidate).

Neither. I wouldn't vote. I couldn't look at myself in a mirror knowing I had voted for either of them.

It's not about "not getting my way." It's about being responsible for putting dangerous people in positions of power. I won't do it.

About 60% of Republicans and independents have similar feelings about Trump. His ceiling with Republican voters is 35-40%. That hasn't changed in polling or in the elections, and it isn't going to change Trump also has some of the highestnumbers we've seen in decades.

But it's ok...The heck with good information, Trump voters "have a feeling" that he can beat Hillary.

A large segment of Americans need to read up on the dangers of charisma.

This is why we have had Obama for 8 years, because Pubs don't vote when the candidate is the one they don't like.

A lot of people are voting for Trump, because he is "not a politician". I fear that if Cruz wins the election, they won't vote for him, because he is a politician.

Meanwhile the Dems will vote for whoever has a D next to their name.

Summed up my thoughts...

BSK,

Wasn't directed toward anyone and that may have not been the words I needed to use.

But by not voting to not put a dangerous person in office, you're basically putting a far more dangerous person in office(see Obama).

I hate talking politics, jmo...
