I came across this after someone brought that trivial ad that Trump produced about Rubio being a "boy". So, now Rubio is up for slaughter:

Wrong Way Rubio

To me, he looks really incompetent if the accusations in the ad are correct. He seems to take the job a little too casually to be moving into the position of POTUS.

Also, his voting record: https://votesmart.org/candidate/key-...o#.VhUNzFUViko

In other news Trump fans are worried that poll after poll Trump always loses against any democratic candidate while other republicans like Rubio, Carson, Fiorina, Cruz and even Bush win against Hillary and Sanders in most cases.

Is the right strategy to attack other republican candidates? Or should Dumbo Trumpo try to be more likeable? It's pretty clear to me that Trump can't win the national election. Too many people dislike him, they dislike Trump so much that they would rather vote for a self-proclaimed socialist like Sanders.

We aren't talking about contest for high school prom king. On the other hand Trump is very well liked for job of USA President. Hence his lead in all polls.

It's clear that Trump isn't liked by illegal aliens and anyone else looking for something for nothing. But of this lot, it doesn't matter.

He is not leading the polls, just the republican primaries, he loses against all democrats even Sanders. That's embarrassing. Once more republican candidates drop out of the race it's possible those votes won't go to Trump. Obviously some republicans don't like Trump. We just have too many unconditional conspiracist birthers that will keep Trumpo on top but they are not the majority of the population and their candidates will lose whether is Trump or Cruz. Believe me when Trump drops from the race those votes are going to Cruz.

WaldoClinton get real, the polls are not all answered by illegals. Trump can't win against any democratic candidate.

What primaries? We haven't had any yet. They are all polls.

In terms of losing, if you truly think he is going to lose then then you should be quite happy instead of complaining about his strategy. Of course, your actions tell us how you really feel about the matter.

Why should I feel happy? I don't want Hillary to win but if the election is Clinton against Trump I'll do what other Americans will do, hold my nose and vote for her instead of voting for the orange clown.

Maybe it makes you happy since you want your king to win but the rest of Americans are not so happy she is the only option for the democratic party.

Since you ask question about yourself, I'll answer. You already spelled it out in THIS POST where you identify yourself as an illegal alien who is upset with Trump's policy towards the illegals. (This despite the fact that you now identify yourself as Proud US Citizen)

That post says it all, nothing else is necessary to be said except that illegals can't vote so the rest of what you stated about holding nose to vote for Hillary is nonsense.

They are polls of likely Republican primary voters, not of the population in general, so they are measuring the sentiment of Republicans.

Pulgarcita is dead-on. If the GOP nominates Trump, it gives the election to the Democrats. The electorate is split into about thirds among Democrats, Independents, and Republicans, and in every election since at least 1992, the winning candidate has not only held his base, but won independents.

Trump has already lost many Republicans who will not vote for him for any reason so he's lost a significant part of his base. He isn't going to pull in many independents because he's too fringe right wing for people without strong right wing biases, so his support will be limited to his 25% of so of Republicans who are as nutty and bigoted as he is plus those Republicans who will just vote for him because he's the GOP candidate. That may be enough for him to take solid Red states, but it's not going to be enough take the swing states like Florida or Ohio or North Carolina which any candidate needs to win the election.

But, hey, I hope your boy wins the nomination so we can follow up the first African American POTUS with the first woman POTUS.
