Iirc he polls better than Hillary against those guys. Polls this far out are unreliable but it shows he doesn't in theory poll poorly against them. A lot of folks seem to be okay with his socialism label once he owns it and explains it.
I think Hillary would do better in a debate against Trump than Bernie would. There's no telling what would happen but Trump could very well frazzle the old man and it wouldn't take too many gaffes for those on the fence to dismiss Sanders if it happened.
Christie has always spoken like that. Trump stole his shtick and ramped it up ten fold.
Pfft, he can't even beat Clinton in a debate, and she isn't exactly killing it in those thus far.
It took me a while to pinpoint the familiarity in Jeb and I figured it out last night. He reminds me of Will Ferrell doing GWB on SNL
Hillary v. Trump would be insult after insult after insult after insult. Every. Single. Question. On the other hand, Bernie loves to keep things policy-centered which hasn't exactly been Donald's style these last few debates.
What a scumbag Christie is. He was practically trying to give Obama a rim job when he was there helping Christie out after Hurricane Sandy. But now it fits his agenda to make voters think he hates Obama so he tries flexing his fat-strangled muscles.
Unfortunately, a sizable portion of the people who will elect the nominee buy into that sort of talk.
Ultimate losers.
Is finishing your second term considered being kicked out? ....What a silly thing for Christie to say.
Even assuming you are right about the demographics, all trump has to do is pick up a,couple percentage points with whites and it will dwarf the loss of minority votes lost.
I don't agree with most of your predictions but I think you're probably right about this.
Why would Trump pull black votes? He's a rich white guy. And how in heaven's name will Trump pull more whites when a decent % of conservatives recognize him to be a buffoon. It seems like only the hardcore conservatives are supporting him. No one even close to moderate wants Trump in the white house. That'd be a huge national embarrassment, just about everyone must see this.
Trump is a very different sort of rich white guy than Mitt Romney. Personality matters a lot to voters of all races. Also, plenty of black people are anti-immigrant.
The Left has no idea just how true some of this is. Wait until Trump makes it out of the primary and into the general, his views and his words are going to end up very center IMO. He will at that point figure he has plenty of the white vote and go after the black vote at that point. I'm not sure he is going to appeal to Latinos and that's a problem in a swing state like Florida where he needs every vote.
Trump's personality sucks. He's childish and can't come up with a single specific fact when asked how he'd handle certain situations. While his act may play with the right wing extremist who loathe Obama, his schtick will not sit well at all with most regular people. Are you telling me that a majority of people in Ohio, Florida, etc will vote for Trump? No freaking way.
There is an abundance of old people in Florida....They will vote Trump.
I've gone to a couple of right wing forums, and even they recognize what a disaster Trump would be. He's not even winning the R nomination.
Ha! Those old white dems will never vote for Trump....especially when he starts talking about Chyna! Those old farts love Chyna and the thought of getting our ### kicked. Lol
Pre-nomination h2h numbers are widely considered to be pretty much useless. Pre-nomination h2h polling in states that comprise a combined 10 electoral votes seems even less helpful.
He's virtually a lock for the nomination and those Rs you're reading will most likely fall in line come November.I've gone to a couple of right wing forums, and even they recognize what a disaster Trump would be. He's not even winning the R nomination.
No way in hell Trump can sniff the presidency. He's a joke.
Latinos are not going to vote for Trump because he puts Rubio on the ticket. Contrary to what you might think, Latinos will not automatically vote for someone just because they are Latino or have a Latino surname. Trump has gotten a lot of bad press in the Latino community. Trump piñatas are still a bit seller. Latinos haven't forgotten nor will they forget his plan to deport 11 million, many of which are friends and relatives.
Why do you think he's a virtual lock? Isn't Cruz in at least as good a position as Trump - if not better?He's virtually a lock for the nomination and those Rs you're reading will most likely fall in line come November.I've gone to a couple of right wing forums, and even they recognize what a disaster Trump would be.

Most of the old people in Florida are ex-New Yorkers - they know Trump's a blowhard and won't vote for him
Never mind - good window into the s**t show that is the Trump field organzing campaign.
My understanding that Cruz is doing well in Iowa but still lagging rather far behind in national polls. For instance, he's 13 points ahead of Cruz in the WSJ/NBC News poll released last night.Why do you think he's a virtual lock?

They're not even close nationally. Cruz can definitely squeak by in Iowa but that means nothing, look at the last two Iowa winners. Trump is going to cruise everywhere else.Why do you think he's a virtual lock?

National polls just don't mean all that much in this primary races when it's state to state and governed by momentum - just ask President Giuliani.My understanding that Cruz is doing well in Iowa but still lagging rather far behind in national polls.

If he won both he'd Cruz to the nomination. Very very unlikely though - not many candidates are able to pull off that sweep.
Polls change after every state. Momentum can turn things around for sure. But- the fact is that in recent years Iowa Republicans have been dominated by a certain type of evangelical conservatives, and as a result their choices have not led to national momentum. For example, the last two winners of the Iowa Caucus were Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum.
Actually Dean had already lost the Iowa caucus before the scream; that came during his concession speech. IMO his campaign was already doomed; people make too much of the scream.
The Dean Scream didn't tank his bid - it just finished him off for good in terms of any prospect for a comeback. He finished a very poor 3rd there (Kerry 38%, Edwards 32%, Dean 18%). It's considered that the relative inexperience of his organizers was one of the factors that really cost him in Iowa.
