I really think neither Cruz nor Trump beats Clinton in a general election.  Especially with the BS they've been spewing over the last few weeks.

I agree. (I think there must be something wrong with me.  :rolleyes: I've been watching the returns on MSNBC -- for at least 4 hours. Couldn't tear myself away.)

I admit they are stupid and ignorant to vote for him.

They are confusing attitude with aptitude.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Keep rolling your eyes Hank.  I'm sure you remember quite well what happened last time. 

Your party is running crazy people.  You need middle of the road and independent voters to win.  Running crazy people won't help in that regard.

The republican party is imploding.  The people who THINK are calling the shots are out of touch with what the people want.  I think THIS is the best thing to happen to the GOP..........I think Trump is the best thing to happen to WASHINGTON in a long time........he is shaking things up and creating excitement among many, many people.

So you think Trump, whose primary constituency is garden-variety bigots, represents what the people of your party want?

That's a sad statement about both your party, and you.   :(

I know this isn't going to mean a damn thing to you, but I can say that you are wrong with your speculation of WHO is supporting Trump.

I know SEVERAL people who are CEO's, VP's, and folks with a lot of clout, who are excited about Trump.  You are deceiving yourself if you think or believe otherwise.

Do you really think he is winning by huge numbers by "the uneducated" people? 

I guy I work with who has been with this company for 35 years.  He is extremely active in the Indy GOP.  He rubs shoulders with the elite in Indy Politics.  He is my "go-to" guy when I am wanting to know the latest and what is going on in the political world.  His opinion is, there are many folks out there who don't "admit" they like Trump, but are hell-bent on voting for him.

That seems to be holding truth....the GOP is having a record turn out for the primaries.....the "uneducated" are NOT ones who go to these.......it is everyday people who are ready for a change in how Washington conducts business........and they believe Trump is the man to do this.

Now, start bashing me......I have developed very strong shoulder because of this forum.... :razz: :yes:

Perhaps I should word this....Do you really think he is winning by huge numbers by ONLY "the uneducated" people?

Because he is leading most polls by ALL the categories.....
