Roy Moore's "spiritual warfare" is driving past a junior high without stopping.

Cruz is up over 17 points on Trump in the same poll, head to head. I just can't find the screenshot.

If the detritus dropped out, either Cruz or Rubio would beat the hell out of Trump.

Trump's ceiling is 40%.  And that's what it would be in the general too.

This is what I've been saying all along. Trump has zero further upside. Whereas most of the rest are politicians that people who don't follow news know nothing about, everyone already knows Trump. Their opinion on him won't change much either way. We even see it here.

Just saw the last half of Rubio townhall. I thought he was great. :beer: Given a chance to attack Ted Cruz he turned it down.  Ted Cruz is up next. Hope he does well.

So much for Christie's accusation that he's nothing but a rehearsed candidate. He was smooth, detailed, and funny during his entire Townhall.

Didn't trash anybody, unlike the orangutan.

So far, Ted Cruz is strong and I mostly like what I hear. I am feeling comfortable with either Rubio or Cruz. Hope they don't go all out at each other.

Some of Cruz's positions bother me.  I don't like his VAT tax, for one.

But he's so preferable to Trump.

What we have now (the corporate income tax) is a VAT and the fact that we don call a VAT doesn't change the fact that it functions as one.

VAT or FLAT......All I know is every April is very stressful as I wonder if everything I did on my tax return was correct and legal. I believe it to be so, but that would not stop the IRS from seizing everything, issuing fines, threatening jail if they so desired. This has to change. :beer:

If I had my druthers there wouldn't be ANY income tax at all!  There would only be a point of retail sale only sales tax on NEW goods and services!

By the way, this NBC/WSJ head to head showing Rubio besting Trump is the same outlier poll showing Trump losing to Cruz nationally. The only poll out of dozens of other respected survey companies showing these outlier results.

And don't get too excited that FOXNews is gleefully amplifying the outlier poll favoring Rubio. Guests to that news network who support Trump have been mysteriously absent from the guest line up for several weeks and have been, again, mysteriously replaced by guests favoring Rubio.

Murdoch will have his way.

I really wish this was the board of a year ago right now.

Allowing sinkspur back killed it.

I'm anti-Trump at this point, but even correcting yet another inaccurate thread about him turns into an insult at the poster who shows the claim is inaccurate.

Trump has created a cult and looks more and more like Hitler every day.
