All the other candidates just represent royalty and puppets of special interest. It will be interesting how many of your fellow Democrats will be voting for Trump. I wonder how many come out to see him as he campaigns around the Country? Most of my life I was a Democrat (30+ years), now an Independent, and I will be first in line to vote for Trump! I have had enough of your politics as usual.
Using your logic, the tens of thousands who come out to watch Bernie Sanders speak indicate that Sanders will crush any and all foes on either side of the aisle (except maybe Mr. Trump). Is that right? Is Sanders going to demolish Sen. Raffy Cruz, based on rally attendance?

Sure thing.

Trump goes to a town, 10s of 1000s show up to see him. Any other candidate, maybe a few hundred. This is objective data that can't be denied. Request has been satisfied.

Of course you have stated that you will vote for King Hillary no matter what is turned up about her. This makes you no different than those who think Earth is just 6000 years old. You might want to cogitate on this a bit.

Sanders hasn't had any crowds like this since August and then only in very selective parts of the USA. i.e. A regional candidate at best.

Trump in contrast continues to draws crowds like this anywhere in America.

The Logic Holds.

Hillary consistently bests Trump in poll after poll--who cares hoe big Bozo's crowds are? Keep in mind that he's hogging up all the spotlight with his unprecedented stupidity: RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - General Election: Trump vs. Clinton

Look at that Fox poll, +11 for Clinton. Trump hasn't a prayer.

Let's see. In the last 5 months.........
  • King Hillary has spent $50M on her campaign.
  • For that she has seen 2/3rds of her lead against Donald Trump disappear.
  • Donald Trump has spent $5M on his campaign.
  • For that money he has pulled into a RCP statistical tie with King Hillary.
  • This and he hasn't even started to campaign against the King yet.
  • If he wishes it, Donald Trump can outspend the King 10 to 1
By any measure, this is an absolute disaster for King Hillary. Don't know how anyone could objectively see this any other way.

Oh and there is this. When King Hillary holds a "rally" in a town, maybe a couple of 100 show up. Trump on the other hand attracts 10s of 1000s. This speaks for itself.

If Donald Trump enters the White House it will probably be as a guest or a tourist.

Here's how the current leaders are comparing in average favorable/unfavorable rankings.

Ben Carson is 41% positive, 38% negative for +3%
Bernie Sanders is 36/33 for +3%
Marco Rubio is even with 35/35
Ted Cruz is 34/40 for -6%
Hillary Clinton is 42/52 for -10%
Donald Trump is 34/57 for -23%

As for the parties themselves:

Democrats: 40/46 for -6%
GOP: 31/53 for -22%

President Obama is even at 47/47

This is simply not true. Sanders also draws thousands.

Sanders also beat Trump's PHX attendance by tripling it in the same venue. Sanders switched to the larger venue holding 15,000 (and filled it) while Trump stated in a 5,000 person room at the Phoenix Convention Center (and again filled it.) Note: AZ has only give blue once since the 1950's.

-Campaign spending is irrelevant at this point considering Trump's high Q rating and nonstop media appearances. The guy relentlessly promotes himself. He'll eventually have to spend like everyone else, and no, he's not getting the campaign contributions Hillary will. Also, despite what you think, Trump would be a longshot against Clinton, so don't expect him to foot the bill for a campaign that would likely end in defeat.

-+6.1 for Hillary is not a statistical tie--you should consider updating your copy pastas before hitting "submit reply". It could easily be a 9 point swing in her favor.

HuffPost Pollster - Polls and Charts
Too bad you didn't include numbers that actually matter. Like these >

Latest CNN poll - Trump has more than his three closest competitors combined.

Trump 39%
Cruz 18%
Carson 10%
Cruz 10%
Christie 5%
Paul 4%
Bush 3%


Trump is well on his way to winning the nomination. Get over it.
