I don’t think his “bickering” with Cruz hurt, that is expected, but taking on Megan Kelly (why rehash that?), was stupid. He could said he didn’t want to do the debate and not even mention her name or as the reason. He should have focused his non presence on the Vets and said he wanted to do something positive and not argue politics in another boring media stooge debate.
I never watched The Apprentice, so I had a negative view of Donald Trump to start.
I started out a Cruz fan and thought Trump was a jerk.
The more I listened to Trump, I got used to his East Coast sensibilities and now, I understand him much better.
Now that I have seen Cruz over time I think he has shown himself to be a jerk.
Some politicians grow on you and some don’t.
Not disliked by “most” Americans.
Just the ones who don’t much like being Americans anyway.
In what way is that sign responsive to Trump’s historic negatives?
Cheer up. Ted won. Remember?
“60% of the vote in Iowa went to Carson, Rubio and Cruz for a reason.”
Cruz - 27.6%
Trump - 24.3%
Is there a huge difference there, genius?
Based on your math, 57% of the vote in Iowa went to Carson, Trump, and Rubio for a reason.
Which only proves that the RNC, with help of media and BUTCH Kelly of Fox achieved their goal.
Shocking.....60% of people do not like a petulant, arrogant, loudmouth NY narcissist that constantly brags about himself. Go figure.
I am now listening to Levin, and Levin is actually lying; calling Trump a liar.
Levin says that the Cruz campaign accurately relayed the CNN story. The CNN story said nothing about Carson dropping out.
Exactly. I’m great.
You’ve got posting tourettes.
You’re still smiling...
What we need is to unskew these polls. After all, President Romney won in 2012 despite polls that were obviously biased against him./s
As usual Trump’s jet is over the target while the GOP-e’s Count Chocula stows away.
Yep. By insulting women and voters via Twitter. Very Reaganesque.
That’s indeed the way Reagan did it. But Reagan also had class.
Trump is NOT Reagan. Do you ever remember Reagan calling any woman a bimbo, for any reason? Reagan said thou shalt not speak ill of fellow republicans. Anyone even insinuating such a ridiculous comparison betrays their own ignorance.
Which is why as the republican field narrows, Trumps tantrums will only increase. The closer that 60% opposition gets to settling on one alternative candidate the more certain Trumps primary loss becomes.
Remember that Nixon had extremely high negatives. Everyone I knew hated him. But he won twice because the alternatives were even worse.
Trump is a liberal putting on some parody of what the other side thinks a conservative is, and some on the right buying it because they are mad at the GOP.
Well, so am I. I haven’t voted in a few election cycles now but this man is hurting the conservative cause. He is not helping it. and if by some chance he ever were elected would sale out all the people who bought this “outsider” act.
“And the more Trump continues with the petty personal attacks and doesn’t stick to the issues or ....”
True, and Trump either LIES, or is misinformed, as Trump did not acknowledge that it was CNN who started the rumor. Please read the original tweet, and the following ones:

The Carson campaign really should have corrected the CNN mistruth RIGHT AWAY.
