Ted Cruz, John Kasich join forces to stop Donald Trump

[NineSpine]

I don't really understand how Trump can be so unfavorable yet win so much..... Guess we'll see a bit more tonight.

Because he is running in a primary against other disliked people.

Which is odd since the more unfavorable he becomes the more people are in favor of him being the nominee.

Not really. He does abysmal in the general election polls.

There's the Republican primary electorate and the general electorate. In national elections (and many statewide elections), the median voter in the former is a lot more right-wing than the median voter in the latter. Thus the more a candidate panders to the former the more they alienate the latter. And Trump is a one-man pandering army.

The other Republicans split the establishment vote between them by all running. If only one other candidate had been running from day 1 we wouldn't even be hearing about Trump at this point in the race.

Please do some research.

Watch someone other than mainstream media cover Sanders and see if you still feel that way.

I don't have a TV, only the internet. The Young Turks are fucking retarded, yet they suck the Bernie cock, so I don't know...

I usually agree with the Atheist Roo on everything, I'll have to find out his thoughts.

It's going to be like that time a bunch of the Marvel heroes tried to strip Thanos of the infinity gauntlet.


Just a distraction, and in the end, for nothing.

Times like this, I wish MMO champ would let people upvote things lol

He's also a populist and is taking advantage of people being tired 'politicians'.

A larger sample is useless when it isn't a proper randomized sample. If take a properly selected sample of 1000 over a badly selected sample of 50,000 any day.

So I assume you took the poll which showed Hillary winning the Michigan primary by a comfortable margin serous because of it was one of those "accurately" done ones?

You are assuming a lot there partner.

Afraid I'm not familiar with the poll you're referring to.

But I'll happily trust the results of 20 scientific polls over 1 internet poll.

You are not familiar with the upset Sanders pulled off in Michigan this year? The polls had him trailing Hillary by a good margin. That is why they called it a big upset.

Yeah, that sort of thing can happen. But scientific polling is in general a far better predictor than internet questionnaires.

Didn't mean to intrude on your turf.

Well, if they are accurate, Trump will win by good margins today and in Indiana, California. Like I said before, time proves all things. We shall see.

Lol. You are once again assuming too much. Like I am a Trump follower. I am really a independent and would vote for a democrat in a heartbeat if they had a good candidate. I can in no way vote for Hillary. I would vote for Trump over her, but not with a smile on my face. :P

[GennGreymane]

I cant wait for the GOP to completely lose control of their own party and blame Obama one last time.

[Damajin]

They played a dangerous game for the last 15-16 years, courting an electorate that at its' heart is an antithesis to their own goals, so let them be bitten and burned.

Fully agree. Would you like some popcorn while we watch them burn?

Lol! I blamed Bush for Obama. And now I can see one blaming Obama for Trump. The days of Camelot are sadly a thing of the past.

Who in their right mind eats popcorn? Make it a steak and I'm there and if we can watch the Democrats burn as well I'll be a happy boy.

The past is coming around again man, better be ready for the next Arthur.

Trump was a relatively minor contender early on making a lot of noise. He only got into the spotlight by winning states and saying audacious things. As contenders have dropped out of the race, most of the remainder votes that were going to Carson and the other clowns are now mostly going to Kasich and Cruz, meanwhile Trump still retains his minority majority of that 1/3 of the GOP, and not really picking up anyone new.

Trump's appeal is his populist rhetoric and audacious attitude. If someone didn't like him before, there's small chance they'll like him now. He hasn't said anything audacious in awhile and his wall idea is getting more and more hazy by the day, not that it had much substance to it in the first place. Many of the people who had Trump posters in their yards near where I live have even replaced their "Make America Great Again" yard signs with "Not Trump" signs.

If you read into Trump's history, you'll find he's an even bigger liar and swindler than Hillary. He has a way of understating how much he paid for something, and overstating what he sold something for. When he loses on a business deal or legal case, he finds some detail that gave him benefit and declares that he won. He lies to investors, lenders and banks and artificially overstates his wealth and value. He was so broke at one point that he was almost 1 billion in debt with failing assets. It took declaring bankruptcy several times and daddy throwing money at him to recover. I'd take Hillary over such a bad businessman any day. Someone might say that lying and defaulting his way into success makes him a good businessman, but I beg to differ.
