2016 Election
Quote: kewljthe way the republicans set things up with winner take all states after march 15, makes that very unlikely. They actually set things up to avoid the brokered convention scenario.t
That's the doing of the RNC head, Reince Priebus. He
did it to give the nominee an early win and a fast
track to the convention. He never saw somebody
like Trump coming, it was supposed to be Bush.
Or at the very least, Rubio. Us outsiders have no
idea all this is planned years in advance, we think
it's our choice and it's nothing of the sort. Then
along comes a monkey wrench shaped like a T,
and the insiders go berzerk.

of the Dem vote.
Oh dear... Dare I even bother asking for a source?
Or as usual should we just assume this is another one you pulled out of your rear end?
Quote: RonC"About 20 percent of likely Democratic voters say they would buck the party and vote for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in a general election, according to a new poll."
http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/265330-some-dems-would-defect-for-trump-poll-shows
To be "fair and balanced", the poll cited in this article does say Hillary could have 14% of the Republicans voting for her.

Wow, are you serious? at oddschecker the lowest odds they have him at are 2/1
I just assumed there were some "NO TRUMP" options out there, but looking at Bovada you can only bet ON him.

dropped out all his votes would go
to Rubio. A new Quinnipiac poll of
FL shows most of Bush supporters
going for Trump. In Rubio's state
no less. 44% to 28%. If you can't even
win your own state, what good are
you.

Another new poll has Trump tied with
Cruz in Texas, a state that Cruz was
supposed to win easily.

Texas is big
Texas likes big
Trump is big
no big surprise to me
Trump will take Texas big time
close to Rubio that his plan tonight is to
come out with both guns blazing and
'destroy' Trump at the debate. He see's
it as his last chance. He's so far behind
in his own state that he thinks he has
nothing to lose. He's going to have
Trump crying like a new born baby,
apparently. lol

Probably too little too late. (still reminds me of some Survivor shows, where a couple contestants take each other out while too often ignoring the biggest better player)
Texas likes big, I'm OK with big. I've met some ladies that like big, for the most part we are still friends though we don't always connect intellectually ;-)Quote: terapinedTexas is big

I doubt it. But you never know. Perhaps Marco is meticulously memorizing various attack lines against Trump as we speak.
I forgot there was a debate today! I missed the last one, which apparently got a little nasty.
Chuck Todd just pointed out that Trump wins against every politician he's gone up against, except one: President Obama. Obama ridiculed him at that one White House Corespondent's Dinner and definitely got the best of him.
Ridicule worked. Why haven't any of them tried to highlight what a clown Trump is?
Do you know what it costs to make someone just vanish, as in like poof/gone? Trump got alot of money, so does Hillary for that matter. I not gonna mess with either of them, and when they debate each other, I think I'll watch that on TV rather than attend in person...Quote: ams288<snip>

Just hire Don Rickles to do the anti-trump ads.
Although actually the insult comic dog would be pretty good.
Quote: ams288Why haven't any of them tried to highlight what a clown Trump is?
Good idea. But first they need proof he's
a clown. They need something clownlike,
A good example:
Former Mexican President Vicente Fox to Trump: We're "Not Paying For That F***ing Wall"
Quote: rxwineIf it deters any of his supporters, it's worth posting. (I'm with George Carlin however in respect to profanity)
Maybe something will make a difference to people who "could" support him, but you are way late on trying to deter any of those who already support him. Their all set.
Yes, I could be wrong...but every time I have said something negative about the Survivor, someone else gets tossed off the island. My $1.00 is on him to win.
...and I still don't like him...
private. If he said those words in public,
especially at rallies, he would lose support
for sure. Wait a minute..
Never mind.

Boiling oil over the castle wall. And then it's the kitchen sink. And that's it.
But he's failing to land a punch. He's just rattling off the various Trump controversies that have come and gone over the past few weeks.
Trump hired illegal Polish workers ✔️
Trump had 4 bankruptcies ✔️
Trump inherited $200 million from his dad & isn't worth $10 billion ✔️
Trump University was a scam ✔️
Quote: ams288Rubio is definitely going after Trump hard in this debate so far....
✔️
What's with Rubio grinning ear to ear like
a weird Halloween mask, every time he talks
to Trump. Scary..
Quote: EvenBobWhat's with Rubio grinning ear to ear like

I think Rubio thinks he is winning this debate against Trump.
Rubio did have the one good moment where he pointed out that Trump also always repeats himself.
But Trump is like Teflon, it won't matter.

Rubio is a robot. Controlled by the Koch brothers.
I'll bet anyone even money that Trump is the next POTUS.

It's not the same. Rubio is repeating talking
points. Trump uses it as a well known speaking
technique. When he speaks off the top of his
head, which is always, if you repeat the last
sentence you just said, it gives you time to
sort out what you're going to say next. Obama
is awful at this, so he uses a teleprompter.
I will bet $100 that he won't.Quote: AcesAndEightsIt's come down do it. Even money.

Sorry, I was drunk last night. Now I'm sober and don't want any more action :p
At this point it's kinda pointless to endorse anyone other than Trump. He's gonna be the nominee.
debate all three cable networks said what
they always say, that Trump lost the debate
horribly. And Rubio won or Cruz won or
whatever. But if you look at every online
poll, Trump always wins the debate by a
large number.
Early on the online polls were mocked as
unscientific and meaningless. Not anymore.
They came to realize the online polls were
an indicator of the way the real polls
would go, and they were always correct.
In the other debates Trump was at 35%,
then 45%, than 55%. Now he's in the 60's and
70's in a lot of the online polls, and nobody
is mocking them now.
