What this cycle is teaching us more than anything is just how big this segment is in our country. And how many of them call themselves Republicans (I guess).
As far as I'm concerned, everyone on this planet other than myself and a select few are braindead morons, especially dems.
I have a feeling people are saying that now because they like the idea of someone beating Trump. So for the guy who does it, people will think highly of him. Meanwhile if it is Trump, then people flock to Hillary to defeat him.
most of the Trump primary polls have been right since Dec-Jan. He's underperformed on margins though, if he's going to brag about polls in every speech his fans can't dismiss him losing every General Election one released
that's a fair point but it's impossible for Rubio to have the unfavorability rating that Trump already has. Trump will motivate and drive turnout on the Left, Rubio does not come off nearly as threatening to the General Electorate
Yes because what this country really needs is another establishment candidate like Rubio who will govern no differently than Hillary or a religious whack job like Cruz. Love him or hate him, Trump is the only person that can destroy the republican establishment which is what is needed. No establishment republican can win a national election. We learned that last time with Romney, the demographics don't favor it and your golden boy Rubio wants to add another 15 to 20 million democrats to keep changing the voting pool.
So what is your view on the democratic side. If the republican establishment is bad, at least they are not as corrupted as the rigged democratic primary process.
Coca Cola Classic: Diet Coke as Democrat Establishment: Republican Establishment.
Bob, you're part of the problem. You think people hate Trump, what you have not accepted is it does not matter how much they hate Trumo, they hate the republican establishment more. Paul Ryan approved and supported Obama's budget one month into office. The republicans have given Obama everything he has wanted and pussed out of any fight with him. The people that supported the republican establishment and tea party republicans gave them both huge support and wins in 2010 and 2014 and got nothing in return. This is what created Trump the canadidate and nothing Paul Ryan, Mott Romney or Marco Rubio will change that.
It's been eight years of spineless republican congress. Even in a majority in both houses they can't seem to even stop this president from brining in illegals and poor economic policies. It's been the states that have sued Obama, it's been the states that have fought back with little to no help from the establishment of tea party members. You say shutting down the government would backfire on the republicans, well as you can see by trump, what they have been doing is backfiring on them. The problem with the establishment is they would rather piss of republicans than democrats. For that, they will lose power. Look no further than your very own comment where you said you would vote for Hillary over Trump.
You have to look at poll methodology . Polls nowadays are no different than political sabotage coordinated with the media.
The people who do this stuff for a living have run the numbers on this stuff many times. If that could realistically happen, it would have already happened. It can't. With the exception of the frozen north of Alaska (who all thought Palin was a good idea) Cruz polls in the loser category nationally once you get away from a 600 mile radius of Dallas TX. Rubio is viewed as too young by Establishment voters and too much of a stooge by the Tea Party people who saw him run as an outsider for Senate and quickly turn to an insider to raise money to run for President.
This.
