Alaskans Love Trump! – Donald Trump Leads Ted Cruz by 14 Points – 41-27%
Overtimepolitics.com ^ | 2/24/2016 | Staff

March 1st can’t get here soon enough for many people who are eager to see how the primary season will shake out for the Republicans. In Alaska, the clear favorite seems to be Donald Trump, who has a 14 point lead over Ted Cruz – 41-27%.

The state awards 28 delegates proportionally to any candidate who receives more than 13% of the statewide vote. This threshold probably leaves Ben Carson and John Kasich empty handed once the delegates are awarded on March 2nd (Some of Alaska’s far western caucuses aren’t held until midnight EST). Even Marco Rubio is teetering on the edge of viability with 15% in a state where he will probably be relegated to third place, but could at least take a couple of delegates if he stays about 13%.

You get the impression the Trump tsunami is hitting everywhere. Trump has not even been to Alaska and he gets 41% to Cruz' 27%. Then of course there is the Pope who attacked Trump. Now China is telling Trump to back off. By tomorrow I fully expect Trump to be up over 50%. This is a blow out!!!

Well Trump hasn’t been to Alaska but Sarah Palin may have been there before.

Not sure. I’m old and tend to forget. But maybe she has a few connections that would help.

I imagine. Palin and her family are in the reality show business just like Trump. I was listening to Rush Limbaugh last week. He mentioned that Ted Cruz was the closest thing to Reagan he had seen. At that point I decided I’m voting for the constitutional conservative and not a NY liberal.

Cruz could win Texas by 40 percent and still would be out of the race...

“Alaska is a liberal state”

Wasn’t Sara Palin governor? Was she liberal? I’m trying to recall.

Speaking of reality shows, how did that rousing endorsement from the hugely popular Duck Dynasty daddy work out?

There are dozens of examples Limbaugh could have used where Trump demonstrated during this campaign that he does not think or approach problems in conservative terms let alone understand them and is unable to bring them up.. But views challanges in a very personal way that could reveal any inner convictions he could have but clearly does not.

From the campaign begining with the first debate. His legiirimate battles with Fox and Kelly.and her misogyny complaint Trump goes on CNN following the debate to complain about his treatment .Alas where he could have cited how the press abused Palin as well as other conservatives. Instead must personnaly attack Kelly and brings up Kellys body functions thus confirms her assertions . .

Trumps revealing exchange with campaign disrupter and un official spokesman for the Mexican government Jorge Ramos (Univision). who has dual citizenship,.which should have but did not, show any conviction on his pronouuncements about Mexico and its relationship with US.

Here Trump could have demanded to know from him If he believes Mexico has legitimate claim to American states ,as well as bring up Mexican treatment of illegals. Then ask why should the US permit land ownership when legal American retirees cannot own land in their own name or vote there.Then boot his buttocks out of there.

Instead what does he do ? Kisses up to him and lets him go .The way the Mexicans are treating Americans reciprocity should be the issue and would dump the quote hispanic unquote krap

Then there is the issue where some UK politicians along with Islamists wanted to prevent Donald Trump from even visiting Britan . Here he would have been saluted if he did this. Used the Brits expression to those phoneys; To Piss off and WISE UP pointing out the problems they are having rhere and chiding them for refusing to face reality.

Instead what did he do ? Threatens economic retailiation.on a project in Scotland

What really sealed it for me was when Businessman deal maker Trump who also owns Goldman Sachs stock
http://www.freerepublic.com/focua/f-news/3386879/posts
Sided with the GOPES and even advocates expanded mandated Ethanol because he thinks dumping this mandated junk inro your gas tank. It will help him carry IOWA . Which also begs the question of Just how heavily invested is he in Ethanol ?

Apparently those prefering a candidate that supports and wants more government mandates and subsides especially for a product like enthanol which is a boon doggle means nothing to them.
Well it does ro me....
