The reason Trump will win/ Blinded by the past.

a reply to: Bloodydagger

He wants more spending, that is exactly what all his points are.
Increase the military=more military spending.

Wants to be able to fight three wars at one time..

Build a “full spectrum” force able to maintain security simultaneously in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Wants to throw more money at the F-35, which IIRC hasn't really been anything more than a money bit.

Gotcha, ya I agree we can't cut it like something crazy like 50% or anything like that, just that when we spend more then the next 10 countries combined, there is some fat.

It is starting to look like Trump will be the gop nom.

Today Trump threw down the "woman" card.

Hillary doesn't have a chance.

Trump does not have a path to victory in the election map.

I disagree.

Polls have flaws. One of the key flaws...they are only a SAMPLING of data. Problem is, I suspect a LOT of Trump supporters are more the type to blow off pollsters (their number uncounted). Polls don't elect folks. Votes do.

The Bernie supporters, with their candidate out of the race, will lose their taste for politics as usual (as they see it), and simply stay home. They will NOT be coming out to vote for Hillary, not even to thwart Trump. Why? Mostly, too lazy to do something they aren't enthused about.

Once the defacto nominee however, Trump will get the GOP voters to turn out. (if just to have a shot at keeping Hillary from it).

It is a longshot? Maybe, but not as long as one would think. Still, better than no shot at all (which is what it WOULD be with Cruz)....

I think these are the reasons Trump will win the GOP nom if not the POTUS.

www.mintpressnews.com...

"Poll: 60% Of Americans Don’t Trust The Mainstream Media"

"Gallup has collected data on the public’s perception of the media since 1972. Trust in the media has been falling since peaking at 55 percent in 1998 and 1999. Since 2007, in particular, a majority of Americans have distrusted the media."

I think the voting public in the USA have dug in and will not back ANYONE that the mainstream media gets behind. The more the talking heads on tv take shots at Trump the more popular he becomes.

In addition to that........

www.rasmussenreports.com...
"Congressional Performance
Congress Still Ranks Low in the Public's Eyes"
"A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just nine percent (9%) of Likely U.S. Voters think Congress is doing a good or excellent job, unchanged from September, which was the worst positive rating since the arrival of the new Republican-led Congress in January. Fifty-nine percent (59%) now think Congress is doing a poor job, down from September but generally in line with earlier surveys."
"Interestingly, Republicans are just as critical of Congress as Democrats are."

I think if the current path is followed Trump will be POTUS. If dems are as unhappy with congress as repubs they won't turn out on election day like they have the last 2 elections. Trump voters will show and he will win.

Just my opinion what do you think?

I must say I think my opinion was dead on!

a reply to: shooterbrody

a reply to: MOMof3

That OP was spot on.

Nothing else to say other than a belated S&F cos I missed it the first time around.

Congratulations. I hope he is everything you were looking for.

Epic thread. OP was spot on. Going back through time, WOW.

There is no chance Trump will even get the nomination.
Democrats don't sit out presidential elections.
I have perfect confidence for another 4 to 8 democratic years.

This is so perfect, thank you everyone for putting this thread back up. It is so enjoyable to read this!

Right?

It's amazing to see how many of us got it SO wrong, and how others of us nailed it right on the nose.

Pretty much any Trump voter could have told you that a) the polls are wrong, and b) they are wrong because Trump voters felt ostracized, so it was simply easier to either lie, or just shrug it off if asked as "I don't know"..... Mainstream media made it socially taboo to support his candidacy, so it almost made it like a secret revolution, in the workplace, and even in social circles.

All of the "greatest hits" (or misses, as the case is....)

Trump does not have a path to victory in the election map.

I think when people that are undecided right now start picking who they will vote for Trumps numbers will plummet regardless of what they think of the media or congress.

***

Trump nor Bush will win, mark my words here....

***

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is the favorite to win the White House, with 11-to-10 odds on Paddy Power. Jeb Bush is next with 4-to-1 odds, followed by Trump's 13-to-2 odds.

***

After tonight's debate I think Trump has a plan to make Ted Cruz a 10-year president.

***

You are delusional. Every sane person in this country thinks he [Trump] is a freak. You gave me a good laugh though.

***

There is no chance Trump will even get the nomination.

It was broken down by a few different conservative sites, and yea trump has zero chance, and hillary the wicked witch would win it all, now i need to go wash myself.

***

Do you think this divided country will elect Cruz? Rubio? Bush? Face facts, Hillary will be your next POTUS, then we'll reminisce about the good 'ol days under Obama.

Just discovered how psychic you were.
