Trump would be least-popular major-party nominee in modern times
WaPo ^ | 03-31-2016 | Philip Rucker and Robert Costa

Posted on 03/31/2016 6:00:02 AM PDT by NRx

If Donald Trump secures the Republican presidential nomination, he would start the general election campaign as the least-popular candidate to represent either party in modern times.

Three-quarters of women view him unfavorably. So do nearly two-thirds of independents, 80 percent of young adults, 85 percent of Hispanics and nearly half of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.

Those findings, tallied from Washington Post-ABC News polling, fuel Trump’s overall 67 percent unfavorable rating — making Trump more disliked than any major-party nominee in the 32 years the survey has been tracking candidates.

Probably the only candidate who Hillary can beat.

How about that woman under investigation by the FBI for crimes against her country... you know, the one married to the rapist.

Isn’t she ‘unpopular’? Well, with the folks who aren’t ‘elite’ lowlifes?

Originally this article was written for Hillary aka “the Wicked Witch of the Middle East” attempting to project how wonderful she would be. Then the results came in...

What to do?

Blame Trump

Let’s just pray he’s not the nominee.

Oh sure, pray for the guy that Glenn Beck says is "fulfilling Mormon prophecy", the guy endorsed by Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham and the rest of the GOPe.

Get a clue ya Cheesy Troll, when both political parties AND the lamestream media hate you like they hate Trump, America Loves You!

Let’s face it, the guy is a totally obnoxious, arrogant, overly sensitive, spoiled brat, nasty/mean, emotionally and intellectually immature creep. And these are some of his better qualities.

If so, have you considered petitioning Trump for a DNA test to see if he might be your long lost Daddy? Sounds like you two have some qualities in common.

least popular in the GOP establishment, more like , but hey if one wishes to support the establishment when saying they were against them then cruz is your guy.

How times have changed hey , yet again by another ivy league lawyer who become an elected official who then never finishes his first term like he said he would.

“Let me encourage other members of the establishment: Keep supporting Donald Trump because every time you do it, what it is doing is telling conservatives all over the country is where you stand and who stands with you”.
- Ted Cruz, New Hampshire stump speech

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Voting for yet another ivy league lawyer who became an elected official who has not even finished his first term is insanity,

suportigtn cruz does mean you are insane and votinfg fr cruz means you are voting for the same utter crap we have had for decades.

Cruz the new Bill Clinton

You're new here but it's obvious you're not a serious person. Bomb throwing is so much easier than thinking.

Let’s just pray he’s not the nominee.

There’s good reasons not to like the imposture in the Republican race.
==

Better pray he is the nominee, cause every other candidate R or D keeps the status quo, cheap labor, future collectivist, voter invasion going full bore. Yes even Ted Bush.

And this

Trump v Cruz head-to-head actual primary election results for the 3 purple states which are must wins,

|——————Trump v Cruz -——— Trump v Cruz ———— Margin -——|
Ohio ............. 700,464 - 259,694 ... 35.87% - 13.30% ..... +440,770 Trump

Florida ........ 1,079,741 - 404,804 ... 45.72% - 17.14% ..... +647,937 Trump

Virginia ......... 355,961 - 173,191 ... 34.73% - 16.90% ..... +182720 Trump

The facts say, Cruz can’t win FL,OH, or VA. He has to win all of them; therefore a vote for Cruz is a vote for Hillary.

Fantasy polls of potential future match ups or likability are always used as election propaganda and never reflect reality when just 2 candidates face each other.

Don’t be a useful idiot, vote Trump.

BTW, I DO think Trump is a flawed candidate. Unfortunately, the rest of them are even more flawed and I think he has the best shot at winning. One of the reasons is that the Establishment is pulling out all the stops to take him down. Most people see this and fully understand what it means.

It’s not always the most popular guy that gets the job done.

By contrast, obama is fawned over by big media, given carte blanche by the Republican controlled Congress, and everything he says is taken as truth. Yet we’re a stone’s throw away from the NWO abyss, with no return ticket either.

Maybe, just maybe, being ‘popular’ isn’t the way to go this time around.

well after reading your false assumptions and fake outrage then yes I can see how you would think that.
Saying that you also thought the GOP had not changed the rules in a 100 years ,of course forgetting or not knowing they did it in 2012 for Romney another establishment tool so it really shows how you don’t know much.
