So you think thank that Trump is establishment?

No, I think that Trump is basically a NE liberal con man who figured out which populist buttons to push to get enough quasi-conservative and semi-liberal voters to join together to get get him some wins. But as we have seen in every recent election, the libs and independents that cross over in the primaries to vote for the liberal/moderate Republican always seem to go home to the real deal in the Dem party come November...

When disgusted conservatives stay home, the GOP is toast. Republicans can’t win without them.

Very little in GA, from what I saw, but I don’t watch much TV. I did see Cruz and Rubio ads.

Ok so the 4 close Primaries on Saturday are guaranteed wins for Cruz based on this analysis.

Hey “Conservatives” you are saved. Cruz is going to chalk up 4 more wins on Saturday because the Primaries are closed.

So do you believe and like polls that show that Hillary Clinton is considered untrustworthy and a liar?

Or do you just believe and like the polls that show what you want?

I couldn’t care less about any “poll”. People lie! I know Hillary is untrustworthy and lies because FACTS not polls show it. So read what I said not what you wish I said.

You said...
“I couldn’t care less about any “poll”. People lie! I know Hillary is untrustworthy and lies because FACTS not polls show it. So read what I said not what you wish I said.”

Ok.

You don’t believe polls that show him losing to Hillary or that he is unpopular with the general public and you stated they’re lies. You then must have something to show that’s not true. Links?

And yes, polls now don’t necessarily reflect what will happen in Nov. But you can’t dismiss these current polls either just because you don’t like them

You want to argue and I have no intention of doing so with you. I have every right to my opinion. I can and do dismiss all polls because people lie. I did not say polls were or were not lies. READ! I said people lie so polls may or may not be accurate therefore I don’t have faith in them. Votes tell the story. What I really don’t like is you badgering me because I don’t share your zeal for polls and trying to belittle my opinion.

IIRC in past election there has been wholesale crossover dims voting in open primary states for the repub candidate deemed most likely to be beaten .
I don’t hold much credence in open v closed results.

Arkansas has an open primary. Ted Cruz would have almost certainly won Arkansas if it was closed.

According to this article Trump did not advertising buys ANYWHERE. Think about it.

Your article is wrong. At the Saucer the past couple days, I've seen Trump commercials (I'm in Texas) on ESPN, CNN, and I think also one of the Fox channels. Mostly ignored them, they're just shots of his rallies and pictures of people holding Trump signs. No actual content.
