Politics Trump signs pledge to the Republican Party

The greatest thing was how he polled even higher after it! It must be weird for traditional candidates.

 

I would like to see obama have to answer the same questions cold.

 

Funny how I've never in my 61 years been polled for my opinion..not once. This alone debukes polls and their value. (unless Denny is selling my posts to pollsters without my knowledge)

 

Trump 2016. Deal with it

 

Whether you like him or not, Obama knows the playing field and all the players...Trump is an idiot when it comes to world leaders and organizations we are currently at war with throughout the planet and was exposed in this interview.

 

His TelePrompTer is good memory!

 

• I will give you that after almost seven years of sitting in the big chair, he has a better chance than the average business man, but you have to remember that this is the same clown that came up with 57 states. just a refresher here are his top ten while in office http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/completelist/0,29569,1887005,00.html

 

I really don't know if this was the right move for Donald. On one hand, it disarms this opponents before the next debate, so they can't claim he is not a true Republican, and that he is holding the party hostage. On the other hand, it was the threat of running third party that forced so many Republican organizations and media outlets to start being nice to Donald and not treat him like a joke. I thought he would eventually pledge to run as a Republican only, but not this early, he gave a up a ton of leverage by signing. He even stated during the last debate that he wouldn't pledge because the threat of third party candidacy gave him leverage.

I think Donald came on gangbusters because he was running as a rebel, someone who spoke his mind and was always throwing curveballs into a flat and routine political party. But recently, as his numbers have gone up and I think he himself is surprised by how likely his chances are becoming, he has been sounding much more like an average politician. Every stump speech sounds identical and he is repeating all his one liners too often. If he gets boring, he will lose his appeal. I do think he is smart, and knows this. He is trying to walk a fine line of still appearing bombastic but not saying anything that will jeopardize his ability to attract more moderate voters.

 

I thought you were on the 3ra1n1ac/jlprk bandwagon!?

 

Brainiac = trump, jlpk = Denny Crane.

Great ticket huh?!?!

 

USA! USA!

 

Didn't watch it when it was on TV before, don't think I'll watch it next year either.

 

Trumps first three wishes for fixing the country as president
1. Declare bankruptcy
2. Change the name of the country before the unveiling party to Divided States of America
3. Change the new flag into the now green, Billion Dollar Bill symbol with guess who on the face of it

 

Tres commas

 

Guess you won't watch news for the next 9 years then

 

I couldn't help it mags...I don't watch the news, I read it selectively..wouldn't have it any other way

 

Labor Day Look at the 2016 General Election For President: Every Democrat Trails Trump, Though Narrowly:
In an election for President of the United States, today, Labor Day, business provocateur Donald Trump narrowly defeats Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Al Gore, in head-to-head matchups, according to nationwide polling conducted by SurveyUSA.

Today it's:

* Trump 45%, Clinton 40%. (There is a 20-point Gender Gap; Trump leads by 18 points among seniors.)
* Trump 44%, Sanders 40%. (Trump leads by 10 among independents and by 6 among moderates.)
* Trump 44%, Biden 42%. (Trump leads by 10 among the best educated; Biden leads by 17 among the least educated.)
* Trump 44%, Gore 41%. (Trump leads by 12 among men and by 18 among voters age 50+.)

Among a subset of registered voters who tell SurveyUSA that they pay "a lot" of attention to politics, the scale tilts to the right: Today it's:

* Trump 54%, Clinton 36%.
* Trump 53%, Sanders 39%.
* Trump 53%, Biden 37%.
* Trump 54%, Gore 36%.

Voters were asked whether they support for a given Democrat "enthusiastically," "with reservations," or, whether they are "holding their nose" voting for a particular candidate.

* 57% of Clinton voters say they are voting enthusiastically.
* 53% of Sanders voters say they are voting enthusiastically.
* 49% of Biden backers say they are voting enthusiastically.
* 45% of Gore voters say they are voting enthusiastically.

By contrast:

* 8% of Clinton supporters say they are holding their nose.
* 8% of Sanders voters say they are holding their nose.
* 9% of Biden voters say they are holding their nose.
* 12% of Gore voters say they are holding their nose.

Voters were asked, regardless of whether they were Democrats or Republicans, and regardless of whom they might vote for in a primary, who they thought would be the major party nominees. Today, Labor Day, voters handicap the primary contests this way:

* 44% say Clinton will be the Democratic Party nominee.
* 22% say Biden will be the nominee.
* 14% say Sanders will be the nominee.
* 3% say Gore.
* 9% say someone else.

* 30% say Trump will be the Republican party nominee.
* 20% say Jeb Bush will the the GOP nominee.
* 14% say Ben Carson will be the GOP nominee.
* 6% say Ted Cruz will be the nominee.
* 4% say Marco Rubio will be the nominee.
* 4% say John Kasich will be the nominee.
* 3% say Carly Fiorina will be the nominee.
* 2% say Scott Walker will be the nominee.

Cell-phone and home-phone respondents are included in this survey. SurveyUSA interviewed 1,000 USA adults 09/02/15 and 09/03/15. Of the adults, 900 were registered to vote. Of the registered voters, 58% (522) pay "a lot" of attention to politics. This survey was conducted using blended sample, mixed-mode. Respondents reachable on a home telephone (62% of registered voters) were interviewed on their home (landline) telephone in the recorded voice of a professional announcer. Respondents not reachable on a home telephone (38% of registered voters) were shown a question on their smartphone, tablet or other electronic device. Cell respondents, as is typically the case, vote more Democratic than do landline respondents. Among just the universe of cell-phone respondents, Clinton defeats Trump by 16 points; Sanders defeats Trump by 12 points; Biden defeats Trump by 17 points; and Gore defeats Trump by 17 points. The more cell-phone respondents a pollster includes in its "mix" of voters, the more Democratic the poll results will be.
