Push polls owned by the left are still push polls. Nothing objective i.e turn out, enthusiasm. number of small donors etc supports such a poll that also pushes the democrat party's talking points. When 70 percent of all Americans agree with Trump on illegals, Muslims, economy and Nationalism this type of agitprop is nothing more than manipulation for the haters.
Odds are the polls will act just like they did for Regan, always losing badly until he won.
oh, apply common sense to this, It says the ones who could not beat Trump on the Republican side can beat Hillary.
Let me jar you with some
real common sense:
Approximately 60% of the Republicans who voted in the primaries did not vote for Trump. Trump has actually gotten a disproportionately high number of delegates and is on track to winning the first ballot
without genuine, enthusiastic grassroots support among Republicans. The only enthusiasm is in Trump himself and among the supporters who have been enthusiastic about his nastiness from the beginning of the race.
Cruz's overall favorability is higher than Trump's and higher than Hillary's. And of the 60% of those Republican primary voters who did
not vote for Trump, an unknowable but still clearly high percentage are in the #NeverTrump camp. (Moreover, one investigative reporter for the WSJ has claimed that a shockingly high percentage of Trump's delegates now wish they were not pledged to vote for Trump on the first ballot.)
How many of Carson's voters do you think will support Trump with any enthusiasm? Not many, IMO. (Carson's supporters were a significant group at one point--and when Carson endorsed Trump, most of them were
appalled.) And how many of Rubio's voters do you think will be enthusiastic for Trump in the general election? Not many. (Rubio has actually promised to endorse Cruz over Trump if the election is not decided on the first ballot.) And how many of Jeb's supporters do you think will support Trump? (I strongly doubt that many will support Trump
at all, much less enthusiastically.) And Trump does not exactly have a treasure trove of supporters in the Kasich and Christie camps, either. (Worse still for Trump, these are mostly in the Northeast, where no Republican has good electoral odds, anyway.)
Besides, the comparison to Reagan's come-from-behind victory over Carter overlooks the fact that the #NeverMeansNeverTrump guys and gals are opposed to Trump for reasons that run very, very deep--visceral stuff. OTOH, although Reagan's conservatism was not initially popular, he was widely regarded as a decent guy--and people listened to him explain his positions calmly. Trump is not so regarded. Most of the folks who don't already lean toward Trump will simply turn him off when he pops up on TV. I respectfully submit that
common sense says that Trump will be
toast if he is named the nominee. (Remember: A huge percentage of Republican voters simply will not
ever vote for Trump. These folks are completely unshakeable in their contempt for Trump--just like practically all of Hillary's supporters are. Trump pretends that this won't matter. But it will matter--a lot!)
In short, Cruz or Rubio
obviously would have a much better chance of beating Hillary (as the polls have also suggested over and over). So, when Trump loses to Hillary, please remember that we warned you not to go to the big dance with him. Blaming us #NeverTrump won't cut any ice.
