Remember the CLINTON Republicans said he will implode at 80%. Almost there.  :silly:

Toss out the "won't votes" and Trump is over 50% (53.8% to be exact)

Toss out Rubio and he is farther above 50%

That is pure mathematics, and not subject to debate

This is great news, but not all that surprising. Its the beginning of the natural coalescing around the almost certain GOP nominee.

Not according to RealClearPolitics which shows

Trump 35.7

Cruz.  26.7

Kasich. 18.7


Again showing if Kasich were to drop out it would be a neck and neck race. Maybe even Cruz ahead.

Those (RCP) are polling averages, will not show you rising trends or shifts in opinion that are recent . Which is what the citing of the new poll is about.

It will take a few more days, even weeks, to get current polls with just three participants polled.

Going back to last spring, Clinton has led Trump in head-to-head matchups in 43 of 50 polls, tracked by RealClearPolitics.


So far this year Clinton has been ahead in nine of 11 polls, with leads ranging from 1 point to 13 points.

In the two most recent polls this week by ABC/Washington Post and NBC/Wall Street Journal, Clinton is ahead by 9 to 13 points.

Well, except for Mitt Romney.  The stench of having supported that human excrement will never leave me.  I am glad he lost now, he is unfit for any office whatsoever, a pox on him and his sleazy family.

Now you know how I feel about Trump.

More rosy polls for Trump (if you call not even 50% rosy). Too bad that when the rubber meets the road, he can't get out of his own way.

What does his family have to do with anything? At least Mitt stuck with one wife, unlike a certain other presidential frontrunner...

I can call 50% rosy.  In fact, I can call it TERRIFIC!  I can say, without fear of contradiction, that any remaining GOP candidate would give his right arm for to be at 50%.

I hope you never find yourself in the position I was in. After 37 years of marriage, my wife wanted out.

It happens. Look at the statistics. Are you willing to say that 50% of people who get married are amoral because they find they can no longer live with that person that they once loved and now find that divorce is the only option they have to find happiness in their life?

Don't be so quick to judge.

I don't stand a chance of getting married at this point (women view me with contempt the moment I bring up anything further than "friendship" and the older I get, the harder it's going to be for a working-class man like myself to find a partner) so it's moot. But yes, I believe that marriage is something permanent, and that far too many people give up on it too soon. We did not have these problems before the sexual revolution. We as a society have lost discipline. We expect emotional love to conquer all now, when it's nothing more than a feeling, fleeting and transitory. We can't tell difference between opposite-sex and same-sex relationships, even! How our society views relationships is so massively messed up that yes, there is a lack of morality.

And perhaps that is why I feel like a lonely voice in the desert, calling out while no one listens.

Jeremy despises me, so I will point out my 48+years of marriage to only one woman.

Both of our fathers were combat WWII veterans, and remained married until the mens' deaths (mine nearing 50 yrs.).

Then it's too bad he isn't at 50% then.....which seems to be a trend for this weak candidate.

If he's a weak candidate because he's just under 50%...what the heck would you call Cruz and Kasich hovering at under 20%?

Shows he has bad judgment.  I guess he picked two nagging wives before he could find one that didn't mind him drooling over all those women.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

If I said I despised you, then perhaps I overstated something (I'm prone to do that among my emotional swings) and I am sorry. I do not despise you personally, to make things clear. I may despise your positions (and often) but I'm not a person to hold a grudge against people personally.

They're a rather low bar, don't you think?

How about Mickey Rooney?  Eight wives.
