Nope. Trump will win.

And in any case, I've realized the lunacy of marrying one's self to a political party.

You should take lesson from this.

Luv, I'm not confusing anything. Anyone who might label themselves as "conservative" or "liberal" isn't using their brain cells to think. Instead they have sold themselves out to political dogma.

For Trump to only have 37% GOP support in a border state like California shows what a pathetic frontrunner he is. You'd think that California Republicans would be most receptive to his Muslim ban and Mexican Wall, but he's practically tied with Cruz.

He's fading before our eyes.

Peaches, I was hoping for some substantive defense for all the noted Trump criticisms, but again nothing but more rhetoric, and I would argue that those who don't know whether they are aligned with either the conservative or liberal agenda are the confused ones. You can't very well know much about politics and not know to which side you lean and/or vote.

Only those who are inspired by personality traits over the different political agendas can "sit on the fence" like that between conservative and liberal ideology, Democrats vs Republicans.

Oh Please. That is the last thing you want. Anyone who needs someone like me to do the homework for them, really doesn't want to know.

Why don't you follow the money? Or, at least, the odds: USA Presidential Election: 2016 Odds | Odds Shark.


Of course those odds do not favor Trump against Hillary right now; but his attention is not focused on Hillary - that will change when he gets the nomination.

Trump has been winning against the odds from the get go. I don't see that changing anytime soon or later for that matter.

You're right, Trump is currently focusing on Cruz and guess what? Cruz is gaining on him!

Or did you not see the latest Fox poll that has Cruz within three points of Trump nationally? Or the latest poll in California? Remove Kasich from the mix, and Ted is likely leading both polls, and his lead in Wisconsin is likely larger.

We can stop pretending Trump slays every opponent who dares cross him. He's not invincible, and whatever attacks he sends Hillary's way will be nothing more than the usual rehash, only this time they'll be spoken by a man with a 4th grade level vocabulary. I doubt Hillary will lose much sleep over that.

The bookies don't make a habit of loosing money. Trump still has a good chance of taking all the marbles - at least for the nomination.

Trump - Cruz? Same-o, same-o. Two pees of the same pod.
