Isn’t this supposed to be about delegates? What good does a national poll really do anyway? There should be a poll out on every state, or at least all early states up to super Tuesday. Then project the delegate counts based on polling percentage. That would be a true poll right?
I just love watching this election because none of the GOPe; RINOs; media; super pacs; campaign managers know what to do and what they try isn't working...
I would say before this Iowa thing comes up Trump is way on top...and they will be left looking like the fools they are...
Ugh. It amazes me how humorless Trump’s detractors are. Obviously, the same people who would have been disgusted by the “vulgar” Reagan.
Doesn’t anyone in the media (besides the Morning Joe people) get his New York/Jewish humor and his enjoyment of being rich, famous and possibly the next prez of the USA?
“How strange the change from major to minor. And how farcical officious men can be made to look when the pedestals are burned and the crowd’s hearts have wandered elsewhere in search of cheap sustenance. Heretofore, this election has been full of surprises; moving forward it will furnish yet more. Not least among them will be the scale and nature of Trump’s decline when both he and his acolytes come reluctantly to realize that he is not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy.”
What the hell happened to National Review?
Does this clown even understand what he’s writing?
It’s one thing to be technically literate, and its a whole other thing to be intellectually illiterate.
Enough said on this topic... Cooke insults himself through his ridiculous blowhard of a pen.
Trump is winning. Big.
LOL! More establishment horse hockey. Trump is leading significantly in about 90% of the national polls. Anybody that believes Carson is really ahead of Trump is easily fooled. All you have to do is look at each poll as they come out. One poll here and one poll there are called outliers. They are not credible. Other than in Iowa Ben Carson stands zero chance to win.
That's the question I want to have answered.
If Trump or Cruz do not win the nomination I will not vote in Nov. 2016.
Why?
Because the American republic will dead and gone and our “votes” will matter as much as the “votes” cast in any other totalitarian nation. A “purple finger” means nothing when a moral, liberty-loving, civil society doesn’t stand behind it.
Some people are not paying attention, just parroting the MSM...
The good part is that Trump is ahead everywhere...
He is the only one that can defeat Hillary.
I’LL TAKE ANYONE THAT CAN ACTUALLY DEFEAT HER, but sadly, Cruz, Carson, and Rubio can’t. Forget about the rest, they have ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE TO DEFEAT HER.
Cruz is too caustic even among Republicans, can’t say he’s not part of the BELTWAY crowd.
Carson’s religion has a doctrine of pacifism that will not fly with Republicans.
Rubio is a RINO on immigration, also trying to be politically correct with MSM.
TRUMP will get under Hillary’s skin in a heartbeat and she will fold in everyone’s eyes, including the MSM, just like she did in 2008.
National Review is a GOPe shill.
National Review writers have got to get over the flawed polling. I think tho fellow is getting aroused on a false narrative.
It’s really pretty incredible. Cooke seems to have created an alternate universe, where the conservative frontrunner is compared to a court jester.
Immigration, the Second Amendment, terrorism, the Constitution.... Trump is excellent on teach of these issues.
He has a well-behaved, beautiful, and successful family. His business record is practically spotless (if it weren’t, trust me, we’d hear more than just about bankruptcies). He handles the media as they should be handled, like yapping and petulant children. He makes short order of Hillary rhetorically.
But this isn’t good enough for the pretentious aspiring snob at National Review.
Buckley used his wit, lexicon, and pen to slice, dice, and dismiss any and all political clowns.
Cooke, well, it would be better if he’d drink some ink.
(duh.....)
No, National Review writers (not all, but certainly this joker and some others) need to get over themselves!
“A few weeks ago Trump made the remark that if he started to lose, he’d quit”
That’s not what he said. He said if he completely collapsed and there was no hope he’d get out. Not be in denial unlike others polling 0%.
Not exactly.
There are in fact bonus delegates to states that voted GOP last cycle.
There are the GOP equivalent of ‘superdelegates’, who are 15-20% of total delegates and are mostly non-committed. Rules are such this time that primary winners won’t get shut out, but they also won’t get the as great a proportion as their primary election results.
Also, most bound delegates are only bound for the first convention vote. Inattention to who the delegates are usually hurts outsider candidates and their relatively inexperienced supporters.
The latest Reuters poll of 10,000+ likely Republican voters shows Trump with 30% plus. So this article is a farce.
The National Review has 0 credibility, bunch of f’n RINOs.
The Rinos and Political Donor Class simply cannot allow someone to be President who doesn’t have his hands out taking their money in exchange for favors that Screw America and Americans, So they can get richer.
