Just a thought...
« on: February 21, 2016, 04:01:21 am »
Republicans have broken voter turnout records in every state so far. I'm pretty sure that is the result of the Trump phenomenon. I'm also pretty sure a lot of his supporters will go with him if he loses the nomination. I know how much a lot of you dislike Trump, but at this point he is probably the best bet for a Republican win.

Will never vote for Trump.  Didn't vote for him in the primary and won't vote for him in the general.

The sonofabitch insults me, then wants my vote?

When I'm right, I'm right.

"I hate Trump" is the universal justification and rebuttal to everything troubling the establishment in this 2016 presidential election.

Trump's a burr under their saddle.

Maybe the oddest thing I've heard tonight. Do you know Donald? When did he insult you?

Trump is a crude, arrogant bleep.

But he's your bleep so you love him.

"These people are stupid who don't support me."  He said it in Iowa. He'd say it in Texas.

He didn't get my vote.

So do I.  If he goes up against Hillary, he isn't going to win.  He will be dancing with Madame President at her Inaugural Ball.

If he knew DONALD he would be his biggest fan. A little jealous maybe BUT will never get close to knowing TRUMP. But he sure likes to BASH him and after last night the HATERS are not in a good mood today! :silly:

There are many reasons to vote against Mr. Trump, but hatred ought not be one of them. Hate no one, please; it only encourages the haters.

Trump's knowledge of foreign policy is laughably thin, his preferred immigration policy is built on fantasy, and he evinces no interest in Constitutional matters at a time when our foundational principles are under sustained assault. He reflexively and angrily insults anyone who offers factual arguments. He uses people and then turns against them at the slightest hint of disagreement. His business dealings are based not on a foundation of value creation and principled finance, but on wheeling and dealing for government access and favor. There are other reasons I am uncomfortable with him, but these are only broad outlines, and for me at least, none of my reasons have to do with the emotion of hatred.

Nobody is claiming that everybody here that dislikes Trump, qualifies as a "HATER".

You certainly do not, Andy.   You've always shown class when explaining your position on Trump.

The HATERS here know who they are..... :whistle:

And that is because people like you get emotionally involved and caught up in some world that you live in will VOTE for the biggest corrupt person, son killer, thief, criminal, traitor to this country to satisfy a ideologue world that does not or ever will exist.  8888crybaby

Have to disagree with you.  Trump and Hillary are both saddled with net unfavorable ratings that could make either of them one of the most disliked presidents at the start of a term ever.  My guess is that Bloomberg is looking at those unfavorables carefully.  Whether Trump is as unpopular within Republican circles as it appears won't be settled until we're down to a two-man race. 

Democrats have two very poor choices, a socialist or a crook; Republicans still have decent if not perfect alternatives to their front runner.

Agree he is going to WIN but will the RINOGOPe give him the nomination? Being a TRUMP fan I expect him to lose NV. NV is a Caucas state and the RINOGOPe needs a win real bad and will FIX it so RUBIO WINS the state. The FIX will be in. The DEMS just did it for HILLARY and she won a few more coin tosses  **nononono*

Hey Dex...nice to see you posting again.

Just read that the Democrat turnout in Nevada was horrendous compared to 2008.

Makes me think that just as over 5+ million Conservatives stayed home rather than vote for a Mormon...that the same thing is going to happen to Hillary.

If they won't cross over and vote for Donald Trump, at least they'll sit on their a$$es come Election Day.
