456 likely Republican primary voters = sample fail
well lookie there, rubi is still getting his ass kicked...
Bad news for Rubio low percentage of undecideds.
MOE for very Convervative (Cruz’s base) 7%
Other then that I want to see one from after the debate.
"Senator is leading in his home state!"
Yuuuuge!!!!
By that logic, Rubio should drop out of TX to give Cruz the 50% he needs to take all the delegates.
Well, the fact that there's still hope for the country is pretty important news.
Thank God sanity exists at least in some parts of the country. If I ever have the opportunity I might consider moving to Texas, from New York City, home of phony Trump’s “New York Values”.
Why, ETL, that would make us neighbors! Welcome, neighbor.
:-)
Look up "stupid" in the dictionary and you'd see a picture of a Trump supporter. Same for gullible and impressionable.
No offense, but I wouldn’t want to live within 100 miles of you.
if you can't win yer home state in the primary, it's time to pack it in...
Good for Cruz. I want Ted as a strong US Senator with Trump as President. If Cruz had been smarter he would’ve continued to follow Trump’s wake and been in a much stronger position going forward. He choose to fight, which I respect, but it hurts him vis-a_via what he could have been the next four years. .The GOPe will never choose him over Rubio so now he is in third place.
That’s what the GOPe was saying about Trump after South Carolina. Nevada proved that notion to be false & then there is Georgia & other southern states where he is above 40% as well.
Hope you have a very happy Super Tuesday :)
I guess he loves his country too much to do that.
Majority of delegates from 8 states to open. Trump has a majority of delegates from SC. That is the only state that has allocated a majority of delegates to any candidate.
“. ..including partial birth, until he was SIXTY YEARS OLD.”
Well, since you have appointed yourself, or have been divinely anointed, as Trump’s judge, what length of time have you decreed is necessary to pass before Trump is cleansed of that sin?
You must remember that Saul was on the road to Damascus on a trip to kill Christians when he was stopped by Jesus, challenged, converted, and turned into the Apostle Paul within a matter of days.
Prove to me Trump has.
Trump has a long history of such "miracle conversions". Seems he just says whatever he feels he needs to say, depending on who he's trying to suck up to at the moment. If he could support something so off-the-charts barbaric as partial birth abortion when he was sixty years old, I find it hard to believe he genuinely has a problem with it.
And speaking of this particular 'miracle conversion'...
________________________________________
"the way Trump described his "evolution" from the pro-choice to pro-life position raises some interesting questions.
He said: "Friends of mine years ago were going to have a child, and it was going to be aborted. And it wasn't aborted. And that child today is a total superstar, a great, great child. And I saw that. And I saw other instances."
Now, I'm one who cheers whenever someone publicly switches from supporting abortion rights to supporting human rights for all - including the unborn. I am glad to see people like Norma McCorvey, the "Jane Roe" of the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion, or Bernard Nathanson, founder of the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws, become pro-life activists.
But I find it difficult to cheer Trump's conversion, because the reason he gives for being pro-life doesn't correspond to the pro-life ethic.
Trump says he is pro-life because of a "superstar" child who could have been aborted.
Consider how he responded to a reporter who wondered if he would have become pro-life had the child been a "loser":
"Probably not, but I've never thought of it. I would say no, but in this case it was an easy one because he's such an outstanding person."
To summarize Trump's view: "I'm pro-life because we shouldn't abort fetuses that may grow up to be outstanding people."
But opponents of abortion take a different position: "I'm pro-life because we shouldn't kill innocent human beings, no matter who they might grow up to be."
Trump's reason for being pro-life depends on the potential outcome of the child in the womb, rather than the fact that there is a child in the womb. But the pro-life ethic is grounded in the inherent worth of all humanity. It is wrong to commit violence against innocent human beings. Full stop.
And that's where, ironically, Trump's position sounds similar to the pro-choice idea that the human fetus is "potential life" or that the value of the unborn depends on whether or not the child is "wanted."
Extending Trump's logic leads to more problems. If we adopt the position of abortion opponents merely because of what a child may grow up to be (a "superstar!"), then why should we care if 67 percent of Down syndrome children are aborted after a prenatal diagnosis? What would Trump say if he were told there's a better chance an "unwanted" child from an impoverished or minority neighborhood would grow up to be involved in crime? ..."

I have never supported partial birth abortion as Trump has, again, up until he was SIXTY YEARS OLD. I have also never been in favor of gays in the military, nor have I ever believed communist Bill De Blasio would be a "good, maybe very good" mayor of New York City. I also would never have considered for a heartbeat praising commie/traitor Obama on his global apology tour. Or gushed praise on an enemy of America like KGB Putin.
Keep watching.
