    A couple of things. First, I have been listening to stupid people for a while, especially when it comes to politics, so I have experience in understanding anything that even a trump supporter would come up with. Secondly, I haven't been a republican for at least 5 years. I'm an independent. I don't love rubio. He's just way better than anyone else with a realistic shot at winning. I have noticed in this cycle that I tend to like the governors. They don't spout ridiculous bullshit because they know what it takes to get stuff done. It is funny that you think of Trump as a way to fight against elitists.

    Once again, not my party. The issue isn't the republican party per se, it's the yelling screaming bombastic idiots who appeal to the small minded. That and the tea party. (once again, not mutually exclusive) Trump of course is part of the first group. It's also funny when candidates, like Cruz, point to Ronald Reagan and say they are like him when they are almost literally the exact opposite. Same with Trump although I'm not sure he's made the comparison. That was the party I was a part of. These hacks today are not like Reagan. Reagan was a moderate by todays standards. Most like John Kasich I would imagine.

    Oh look more numbers.

    Lol they said trump would never get over 27% in primary's and he is now cleaning house.

    Everyone has been wrong on him and keep repeating the same things as if it will someday be true.

    Funny.

    Rubio is trailing by DOUBLE DIGITS in his own state and is supposed to be the guy that can beat HRC?

    Trump has indeed been underestimated by the Republican establishment; that is a true and honest assessment. That said, you have to admit that his ceiling isn't much higher. The people who like him, like him and those who do not, definitely do not. There is little middle ground here. You jest about numbers but in the General Election he will have to win a majority of the votes to be elected. One thing I'll give the guy, he's united the country......sane Republicans and Democrats, about 70% of the country, agree that Trump cannot be President.

    You are just saying the same words spoken over and over.

    Like I said Jeb dropped out and trump gained.

    Trump support is increasing. Zero facts to support your repeated assessment.

    Well, one thing is for sure: we will know soon enough who is right and who is wrong. In the interim take a look at this graphic from realclearpolitics.com. If anything Trump's numbers have dipped slightly since his high around the turn of the year.

    Look at page 1, you thought it would go:

    Trump 38%
    Rubio 25%
    Cruz 18%
    Kasick 14%
    Carson 5%

    You weren't even in the ballpark on Trump or even Kasich for that matter.

    Trump 45.9%
    Rubio 23.9%
    Cruz. 21.8%
    Carson 4.8%
    Kasich 3.6%

    That's called a severe ass-kicking by Trump. But you keep posting what's not really happening. Are you going to keep running the toss dive, to the short side of the field every play? Trump is 3-1, Cruz 1-3 & Rubio 0-4. Who's winning?

    Truth is, you have no idea what Trump will do in in the general election. Nobody does. You think people are that anxious to go pull the level for the criminal woman? Doubt it.

    To his credick he did say that he was leaning to the Bern and not a fan of hrc, that aside, I don't think Trump beats anyone from the left. He is 2nd in the "Out of his league race" trailing closely behind Ben Carson. The guy is circus act.

    what a stupid argument. no one can beat hillary. trump is the only one with an outside shot. just because people arent voting for 23% rubio even after yeb dropped out tells you all you need to know. get on board or vote for hillary. its your only option or youre selecting another paid for shill by the establishment.

    see how stupid is to tell someone to vote for your idiot because the other idiot cant win.

    all these free thinkers cackle everything they hear over and over. and fucking over. the reality is quite different.
