    Keep in mind most people don't yet realize that he really is a socialist. Kankle has real negatives but Bernie's are still soft.

    Please tell me you aren't still o
    I'm just not buying these polls as of yet.
    Not denying they EXIST - but they're just snapshots concerning an election more than six months from now.
    I still respect and have faith in the GOP candidates' abilities to expose, weaken and chip away at Hillary/ Sanders' positions and credibility.
    One small example: one time Sanders' name was brought up to Trump during an interview- lol - he smirked, shrugged his shoulders, waved his hand and simply said "he'll be easy, I mean... he's a communist" !
    Sanders will get demolished when the country gets the chance to see and hear the difference between Trump's or Cruz' attacks on Sanders compared to Hillary's feebleness.
    Same goes for Trump/Cruz vs Hillary.... instead of Sanders licking her boots.

    Couple of thoughts and questions and although they may sound overly simplistic and/or naive, I AM being serious.

    If Kasich is everyone's darling in the polls to beat Hillary, why the heck has he been receiving a consistent distant third place out of the three remaining candidates?...and fourth place when Rubio was in the race?

    Who is answering these polls? Hillary or Sanders' backers?
    In that case, why is he receiving such poor support in the primaries?
    Are we to believe Kasich will be elected President with the help of Democrats and liberals over Hillary or Sanders when "the people" who are actually voting have him bringing up the rear?

    And for those Republicans and Conservatives who are answering these favorable Kasich polls - if they believe Kasich can beat Hillary, then why is he spinning his wheels in a distant third place (delegates AND votes) while winning just one state?

    What am I missing?

    Kasich seems like an easy going fellow...he certainly has campaigned like one.....just the type Hillary can bulldoze.
    Not going to happen with Trump or Cruz. jmho

    Two more questions/curiosities I need help with,
    without mentioning ANY names:

    Has anyone ever been nominated while winning just one state and being hundreds and hundreds of delegates behind the leader going into the Convention?

    Has there ever been a Republican candidate going into the Convention who did not get the nomination while having over 1100 delegates and also leading by hundreds of delegates?


    Interesting?

    Reporter- "Mr. Trump, do you think humans will ever be able to walk on the sun"?

    Trump- "If they do it would have to be at night"

    ...what a bunch of mindless rambling.

    ...and you're still not "buying into these polls"?...like I've said before, that's highly convenient seeing as they completely contradict your narrative. You're just like Trump, you make statements that you cannot quantify, but instead either discount the evidence or simply go into denial.

    ...as far as your last pointless query, that's the second time you've brought it up and it was just as inane the first time. I'm sorry if your points keep getting debunked but at least try thinking things out before posting them. Again, you're trying way too hard here.
    ...FYI, and try to keep up, the required delegate count increases every 4 years. In 2012, only 1144 delegates were required to secure the nomination...in 1860 Lincoln only need 233 delegates to win...any of this sinking in yet?

    Recent interview with the guy that runs one of Hillary's super PACs was saying that he's sitting on a treasure trove of oppo research that is beyond damning for Trump. When asked why the Republicans don't have this themselves he said look Donald has been a Democrat most if his life and swam in those circles. Dems aren't going to help GOP take Trump out, we want those fools to make him their nominee.

    Trump will have (IN MY OPINION) at least somewhere around 1100 delegates by the end of the primaries (including the states where the insiders didn't allow the people to vote, lmao).....
    And very soon the anti-Trump people are going to be looking at a picture where Cruz has no chance of even coming close to the 1237 required delegates, Kasich will still be mired in distant third place while winning only one state- and Trump will be very close to 1237.

    Trump is beginning to turn the heat up a bit on Hillary when he was recently in Pennsylvania and she didn't give her classic deflective maniacal laugh when she was told by Stephanopoulous that Trump has labeled her "crooked Hillary"......lol, can't wait for his onslaught on the lyin' witch.

    Oh, before I forget - about those "polls" concerning an election MORE THAN SIX MONTHS FROM NOW (still cant stop chuckling over that) which show Kasich "beating" Hillary.....I still haven't figured out where those people are in the primaries. Who are they? Are they Republicans? If so, why isn't it translating on the delegate (VOTER) scoreboard? He's already eliminated from winning the nomination during primary season.....and if those people answering this "poll" are Democrats, is anyone foolish enough to think Kasich will "beat" Hillary with the help of those Democrats?

    The Democrats (Hillary) are scared shitless of Trump which is why Trump is THE target - they don't even pay attention to Cruz because he's a rigid ultra conservative one trick pony.....
    .... and they're very nice to Kasich because he'll be easy pickings ....he's the basic harmless lifelong Republican politician.....they fear Trump (IN MY OPINION), because they believe when the battle actually begins, he can BEAT THEM...Hillary included.
    In a nutshell- where the hell are all of these folks who think Kasich will beat Hillary during these primaries? lol....he's been consistently REJECTED by a LARGE majority of actual humans who vote (sound familiar Ted?). If the GOP (IMO) thinks a guy (Kasich) who will enter the convention winning ONE state and hundreds of votes behind the leader is their ticket - than you can kiss the Republican Party goodbye for quite a while.
    I hope Trump begins to tear him a new blowhole in the final weeks of the primary season. He deserves it!

    Now Ted - he's the other half of the clown team who will soon be left far in the rear view window by Trump, try and brace yourselves, it could be rough.......I'm thinking there might be much more nasty name calling and childish sore-loser posts about Trump and the VAST MAJORITY Of COMMON VOTERS who voted for him.
    Just my opinion (as some others have THEIR OPINIONS),
    Cruz thinks there has been a "turning point" in the campaign based on winning Wisconsin, Utah and collecting insider Delegates in Wyoming and Colorado, two States which chose not to allow the people of their states to actually vote....lmao....

    Wisconsin was actually a setup for Cruz.
    The rabbid anti-Trump Governor Walker used every ounce of his "influence" and good old (insider anti-Trump) Speaker of The House Paul Ryan also hails from Wisconsin. I also heard virtually all of the radio talk shows were 24 hour anti-Trump......lol...

    And Utah, no secret the Mormons don't favor Trump and Mitt Romney used all of his substantial local influence to help pull Teddy along.

    Wisconsin, Utah and two other states which wouldn't allow all of their registered voters to vote.....
    ....lmaooooooo..."a turning point"......har har.
