My niece’s husband is black. He voted for Obama and is now on the Trump Train — mostly thanks to my sister who’s well informed and logical.

Whatever. I was surprised that Bush scored as high as he did in my matrix. On reflection, however, I would have to agree that Bush’s positions on most issues are conventionally conservative, even if he did have to be walloped upside the head with a 2x4 before coming around, at least nominally, on immigration. Bush’s key problem, apart from the baggage associated with his name, has been the utter lack of any sense of urgency and a willingness to join battle with the left. Bush took the base for granted and ran his campaign as an exercise in presenting a moderate appeal to independents and persuadable Democrats. That was a profound misreading of the mood of the base.

YouGov went back and re-interviewed voters who participated in a recent poll. They weren’t able to reach all of them but said Trump is falling apart and only going to win by 13% now.

They have it:

Trump 36% (down from 42)
Cruz 23% (up from 20)
Rubio 21 (up from 16)

So, if this turns out to be accurate Rubio will be declared the winner again, heh.

LOL!
Lighten up...this election cycle is both very serious and funny at the same time.
It is a once in a lifetime circus.
I will not send you any more graphics FRiend.
I did not mean to annoy you, or anyone else.

You are right.
Had Bush not been so low energy, it would be different. He had a huge war chest.
Now, he has a chest filled with broken promises.

To: concerned about politics

If Cruz refuses to satisfactorily deal with eligibility requirements of the Constitution, his performance as SCOTUS would be questionable. His Senate votes have helped Obamacare, TPP, etc. He’s too easily swayed. Maybe AG would work for him. Nothing higher.

My only ‘prediction’ is SC will be closer than the polls indicate.

Gilmore 92%
Cruz 90%
Trump 71%

I forget where Rubio came in.

Good grief! I came up with Gilmore.”

Gilmore is a perfectly orthodox conservative Republican. It's not surprising that he would score well with a lot of folks here. The scoring matrix is based entirely on issues, with no adjustment for electiblity, character, believeability, etc. Gilmore is a fine guy who had neither a good reason to be in the race nor a glimmer of a chance of liftoff.

Fox News still at it, getting frozen shoulder from patting themselves on the back for being so clever. Snakes.

My point and question still stands...how about being truthful to yourself, so you get the best answer that matches what you believe, instead of getting the outcome you think you should? Poll, quiz, test, whatever....I would think wanting to know which candidate actually truly lines of with your personal beliefs and convictions, would be more important, than having it align with the candidate you worship.

1. How do you know I didn't do that? (take it truthfully the first time)

2. Do you always go around making assumptions like this, or is this your first time?

3. Why do you feel this irresistible need to insert yourself into this?

4. Number 3 was an assumption, so perhaps we should clarify things? I'm assuming that if you could resist looking stupid to the rest of humanity by mind-reading a person whom you don't know, you would resist that urge. Perhaps that's a stretch on my part?

5. Feel free to stop digging your hole any time. I have all day.

6. You're displacing some kind of emotion onto me for some reason, so again... perhaps you should rethink.

7. Peace. It's in God's hands anyway, right?

I hope this poll comes to pass...

I'm confident Trump will surpass 40-45%.
