Well tell me. How do you think he is going to go about banning all Muslims, and making Mexico pay for a wall?

Any educated person knows this can't/won't happen for obvious reasons.

Any educated person knows Bernie can't make college free or enact a $15 an hour minimum wage, but here we are
 
There's also still a significant portion of minority voters who don't know who Sanders is (or at least usually answer that they don't have enough information to form an opinion on him).

I doubt Sanders can ever appeal to older black voters, but I think with his campaign putting its full force in those next states now he could spread his appeal among young voters beyond just young white voters.

It's way too late in the game for that line, if they aren't with him now he'll need a real game changer to close the gap. Saying they don't know who he is just isn't a good enough excuse by this point.
 
Who would vote for a Bush, I mean seriously!

He spent more than anyone else, and Roboto suffered a short circuit. It's either Kasich or Jeb for moderates. I expect Jeb to resurface as the establishment hope after this, since Kasich is not competitive in most of the rest of the states.
 
It really isn't about blackmailing, manipulating and lying to people.

More like shit tons of "You scratch my back, I scratch yours" and people rewarding each other for loyalty and accruing connections and support for their allies. Which is what that show displays a lot of. Despite the blackmailing and lying. Which I'm sure happens anyway. Like I said, people who have been in Washington have said the atmosphere is fairly similar.

Right. And therefore they can discount that part of his platform when choosing to vote for him, since they know it won't happen.
 
He wants to set the tax rate to 0% for anyone making less than 25k / year, and remove the death tax for everyone. He does want to cut tax for businesses, but that's across the board, including mom & pop stores. He also wants to kill the loopholes for the rich as well as for corporations. He's very much not "all about tax cuts for the rich".

And he wants only 4 tax brackets, maxing out at 25% for the top 1%. Meaning huge tax breaks for the rich. So he lowers taxes for a few poor people? This is the same crap republicans have been pulling for years. Giant tax cuts for the rich under the guise of "tax cuts for everyone!"

I think it remains to be seen. Primary voters often make their decisions very late in the game (one of the reason that polling can often miss), and candidates with momentum behind them often get a bandwagon effect in future states. South Carolina will be the real telling point.

Saying they don't know who is quite frankly an assertion that's likely deeply rooted in racist beliefs about black people in general.

Dude. Trump is winning New Hampshire tonight.
 
So experience no longer matters among Bernie supporters?! Great, walk into NASA's HQ, demand to be made an astronaut and let us know how you get on.

Comparing politicians to astronauts is quite flattering to politicians.

Pretty much Bernie's entire platform can't/won't happen for obvious reasons. So is the education level of Bernie supporters on trial here as well?
 
Let's all salute Christie for that kamikaze take out on Rubio.

Maybe you want to rethink what you said

Of course, because Trump is known for his nuanced and intellectually challenging positions.

Really?

This particular poster has been slinging mud at walls when it comes to Trump for months. The joke being of course nothing has stuck.

Definitely the number one gaf member i'll keep an eye on till the end. A Trump presidential victory could produce a meltdown for the ages. I expect nothing less than asfqsgsgfdgfdgdgdgsdfsfsfsdfdsfsdf, then shortly after, radio silence.

Too many egos in the establishment lane. I bet most stay in for a long time and don't coalesce. Helping Trump. I actually think Christie endorses Trump if he suspends his campaign.

and rubio below 10

Funds are an issue. Jeb! and Rubio have no significant fundraising, its almost all superPAC money. Kasich and Christie dumped everything they had into New Hampshire as a hail mary.

The only one with significant bank to go the distance is Cruz.

They simply all can't afford to stay in. You're going to see donors start pulling out tomorrow forcing concessions.

Really?

MSNBC just put up polling data that Trump wins with all groups of Republican Primary voters but does the very best (45%) with those who have less than a High School education . So maybe saying "uneducated" is unfair but..............
 
so much for Rubio.

so much for Cruz

so much for Bush

so much for Carson

so much for Fiorina....



I feel like Trump is the only one with enough support to win the nomination. No other candidate has >20% of the vote in both primaries.
