Irony

Going back and reading this thread. Damn, here's one post that has survived the test of time haha

I'm not sure what you're attempting to say with these numbers.

If I had to guess -- you're saying that if you add Rubio's total to Cruz's total, Trump's total is still larger. What I said is that the Arizona numbers don't reflect the true strength of the candidates, because Cruz's team probably understood the day after Super Tuesday that Cruz wasn't going to win the state when they realized that Rubio wasn't going to drop out, and was going to necessarily pull votes away from their guy. That calculation led to a smaller ad buy in the state, fewer staff and stops in the state, and as a result fewer votes in the state than their ceiling.

Most of Trump's delegates and state victories have actually come in this manner, the other campaigns pulling votes and delegates away from one another allowing him to sneak through. I mean we've come this far and he's yet to post a 50% win.

Proverbs 18:8 ESV

The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.

So who's whispering in your ear that anti trump sentiment is just from the small minority of crazy people?

oh okay, thanks for clearing it up. Makes a lot more sense.

how valid is paul theroux's analysis?

“It’s the gun show guys,” ... “Virtually everything Donald Trump says, you can find on a gun show bumper sticker. Anti-Obama stuff, anti-Muslim stuff, anti-Mexican stuff, anti-immigrant stuff.”
...
“Manufacturing has been outsourced. Their jobs have been taken away, so there’s nothing for them to do. They sit crowded together in their shack and watch a jumbly picture on a TV set. It’s very distressing.
“You don’t see that in many other countries. The level of poverty, and the level of despair, too. Of people thinking, ‘Nothing’s ever going to happen to me. I will never go to college, I will never get healthcare’.”

and what about:

Who can stop Trump? Republicans may have little choice but to vote Clinton
The party could change convention rules or bring in an independent candidate, but the more realistic (yet unwelcome) option may be to support a Democrat

so how many of the republicans believe in bridge and will go "no trump" in november when it comes to that?

I'm going all in on trump there brmv he displays all the qualities you'd want in a president. He knows how to get things done. He's built an empire in one of the hardest markets there is in the country which is real estate. He's outspoken, strong, logical and someone the people who can get behind and relate to. If general patton was still around he'd 100% back trump. Think about who you want in the whitehouse a couple crooked lawyers who will do anything and say anything to appease a audience or do you want someone who will give it to you straight. As for your question of the GOP wants to divide and run some smut fringe candidate they will lose badly in the election and for years to come. I myself will no longer be a registered republican if they have to stoop so low just to keep their jobs. You have to remember that the lifelong people of the establishment are losing their minds right now because they never thought the great entertainer would of made it this far in the race.

doubt that many half-way intelligent people agree with that
maybe you should read: "Five myths Donald Trump tells about Donald Trump"
on the washington post website

his campaign is certainly clever, appealing to the lower instincts of the poorly educated
since there seems a good percentage of republicans voters fitting that description he might get enough delegates to win the nomination, assuming that the party doesn't change the rules
but if a majority of the voting population in november should vote for him
that would be a strong indictment of how messed up the american society is
personally i would feel sorry for the usa if he becomes president
but there would also be some (or even quite a lot) schadenfreude in the world

Why do you think they are dumb?

How smart are you anyway?

I read the 5 "Five myths Donald Trump tells about Donald Trump" and it's mostly irrelevant. The list discredits his university degree at an ivy-league school because he got an undergraduate at a separate school first, as if it matters where he got his undergraduate as a businessman worth billions of dollars.

It would be more interesting if you could list something relevant to his actual positions as future president.


A great leader appeals to all. Are you implying an intelligent person would not vote for trump? Please explain.

Explain.
