And the latest polls yesterday showed Trump increasing his leads in the Super Tuesday sectional...... that is not true, but why do you feel compelled to say it? are you worried, or are you trying to anger people? Since you do not watch cable news, you would not know it. MSNBC and CNN both stated new polls released yesterday showed Trump gaining strength across the Super Tuesday sectional states. Try to keep up.

dj, I know you are always up to date on polling, but your pure hatred of Trump has led you to not see the forest for the trees.
Are there no new polls released yesterday and now today that shows Trump is improving? There are

And the latest polls yesterday showed Trump increasing his leads in the Super Tuesday sectional...... that is not true, but why do you feel compelled to say it? are you worried, or are you trying to anger people? So I am forced to answer a question I feel there is no reason to answer, but dj demands an answer to continue our discussion as he has posted a few posts ago............. There were new polls released yesterday. Am I worried? No. Color me Alfred E. Newman Please remember, I have publicly stated my candidate was Jeb. I have never said I would switch to Trump. I have stated I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR Rubio or Cruz Currently going with the long shot, Kasich. Yes, I know I cannot catch a freaking break this year but you cannot forgive a guy for going with an actual person who is fairly honest. I am not trying to anger anyone. I am amazed at the upside down world of this year's nomination process, as I have stated somewhere on the boards here. I also am confident Trump will win the nomination, and even more so after the abysmal performance of Rubio and Cruz last night. I am seeing similarities of the Obama effect of 2008 with Trump. Trump is garnering voters as the process plays out, and truly, we are seeing another person reaping the public limelight. The people are blinded by their lack of true hubris. This is truly Trump's year, and we live in Superman's Bizarro world.

There are So your name calling of Trump does not disvlose your contempt and hatred of Trump, but I saying you can "not see the forest for the trees" is a personal remark? Wow. That is a statement of my conclusion, and not a personal remark in the context you claim it is. Taking the Trump train hard, aren't you? I see that train a comin.............

I'm at the point that I figure it might as well be Trump as any of them. There's really no one better in the line up. That's about how bad they all are, not how good he is.

If I could have voted for him before, he removed that possibility when he signed the legislation defunding Planned Parenthood in his state.

This is truly Trump's year, and we live in Superman's Bizarro world. ok, thanks. that was a legit and straightforward answer, and i appreciate it. i won't be voting for either major party this year, so i don't understand why you and Virgil seem to think it would bother me if Trump won the nomination OTHER than the fact that it would be terrible for the GOP (which i am likely to leave this year, anyway). i also find Trump pathetic and embarrassing. he is exactly the type of swaggering asshole that gives America a bad name. and i know that most of you don't care about that- but i do. and yeah, that is my PERSONAL problem. i admit that. but i still think he is a national embarrassment. it is also a business problem to some degree. but only 10% of our business is international, so i really shouldn't care as much as i do. for the record, i still say Trump does not get the nomination- but the window is closing for the other candidates. they need to make some serious headway by the 15th, or it is going to be really tough for them or anyone else to unseat Trump.

dj, I know you are always up to date on polling. but I saying you can "not see the forest for the trees" is a personal remark? that's correct. i am not the subject of this thread or any other thread. the subject is the Republican Nomination.Wow. That is a statement of my conclusion, and not a personal remark in the context you claim it is. no. it is a personal remark, because it is not talking about any of the Republicans running, which is the subject of this thread.Taking the Trump train hard, aren't you? i still don't think he will win, so....no, i guess?

Are there no new polls released yesterday and now today that shows Trump is improving? There are sure, but that had nothing to do with my comment. you said something like "the most recent polls ALL show Trump improving". that is false. i pointed that out either earlier in this thread or on the Super Tuesday Thread. there was one poll that came before today that showed Trump doing worse (Texas), and another one came out today (Georgia). furthermore, the only NATIONAL poll done in the last week show him and Cruz gaining no ground, and Rubio and Kasich both sharply higher. so, what you said was categorically false. the most recent polling data is MIXED for Trump. yes, he is doing wonderfully in Massachusetts. congratulations, Mr. Trump. you are going to win another North East predominantly white state. well done. you seem to forget that i am a complete poll junky, VB. you have pointed out precisely ONE poll in the last six months that i missed. thanks for that. but i am not just looking at polls. i am looking at demographics, historical polling patters for presidential years, etc. that is why, for example, i rate Cruz a 4:1 favourite to win Texas, even though he was TIED in the polls in the last week with Trump. but you know what, you just have fun mocking me and calling me a Trump hater, and pretending like i am totally deranged and incapable of seeing that he is looking pretty good for Super Tuesday. i am perfectly capable of seeing that. he was ALWAYS likely to do well on Super Tuesday, and it didn't affect my opinion of the race at any point up until now. i think it is funny to see the degree of conviction you have about Trump. and you might be right. but i have seen this kind of conviction be completely wrong before. it pays to not be so certain.

I'm beginning to think he may indeed win the nomination. He shouldn't, and I don't think he would win in the general, but Cruz can't beat him, and Rubio isn't showing enough either.
What always amused me was how so many people were saying early in the process that the Republicans had a tremendously strong field of qualified candidates running. I know I'm not the only one who was begging to have even one named....

Other then Jeb or Kasich there was no one, and they were both too weak to get the job done.

Am I the only one who's sad about the fact that there's not a single candidate I'd like to vote FOR? There are many I'd vote AGAINST... but not a single one I REALLY want to win because I like them for the job.

Sanders- an avowed socialist, disqualifies him Clinton, any part of about ten different reasons, and being a wife of a President is not a qualification. Trump-just about anything is a disqualifier Rubio-He admitted he quit the Senate but takes the pay check, plus first term Senator, we tried that the last seven years, plus he does sweat a lot Cruz-just about anything makes him disqualified, plus first term Senator, as well as Canadian rather than American Carson-you have to be kidding Kasich-my home boy now, but we all know he ain't crossing the finish line

i wanted to reiterate a point i made in another thread this morning.
Trump is not widening his lead. his lead is actually narrowing, and has been for two months. here is how it has gone since his polling peak on 12/27:
Trump -3% Cruz +3% Rubio +5% Kasich +6%
during this time the following candidates have dropped out:
Paul, Santorum, Christie, Huckabee, Graham, Fiorina, Jindall, Pataki, Bush
Trump claims that he is going to get some of the vote from the people dropping out. where is it, Donald? NINE people have dropped out, and you have LOST 3%. so, let's see- when other candidates dropped out, that took away vote? how does that work?
what do you think we are? a bunch of idiots? or maybe YOU are one, if you really think half the shit you say.

Obama?
