Honestly, I don't think there's anything that Rubio and Cruz can do to stop Trump. I think Trump is going to steamroll over both of them in March.

Donald Trump is leading in 10 of the 14 states set to vote in Republican primaries or caucuses over the next two weeks.

Recent polls show that Trump is ahead in Nevada, Alabama, Alaska, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Virginia, Oklahoma, Minnesota and Louisiana.

According to Real Clear Politics, his biggest lead is in Massachusetts, where he is 35 points ahead of Marco Rubio.

Trump’s lowest margin of victory is predicted to come in Minnesota, where he leads Rubio by 6 points.

In Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s home state, Trump trails him by 6.7 percent, meaning he could still grab a chunk of the state’s 172 delegates.

Trump is currently ahead with a total of 61 delegates, 50 more than Cruz. The eventual nominee will need 1,236 out of 2,472.

Trump also trails in Arkansas, Colorado and Kentucky.

Rubio and Cruz are going to take each other down. Trump is no ones second choice. At least Bush had the grace to stop fighting a losing battle.
 
Can we please pull up gaf threads from 6 months ago when we all thought him winning primaries was impossible? Now his nomination looks as inevitable as Hilary's.

America has disappointed me tbh. but i guess this has a lot to do with ted cruz, marco rubio and jeb splitting votes among themselves like idiots.

It's less "America" and more "The Republican party." Be disappointed in America if he actually gets elected president.

Got stats to back that up? Bushes supporters were pretty scattered in their second pick but trump earned 11 percent of them.
 
Bush votes are probably going to Rubio mostly which will make him a solid #2 (lololol). Only problem is that Cruz isn't going to drop out, and even if he did I couldn't predict where his supporters would flock too.

There's a large group of us who picked him when PoliGAF was holding its quadrennial primary picking contest.. some of us read the mood of the Republican electorate pretty accurately. 😎
 
Once Rubio is out, the world is safe from warmongering neocons for now. Cruz and Trump are unelectable in a general election. They'd be annihilated by Hillary or Bernie.

Start to drop out?

Trump, Cruz, Carson, Kasich, Rubio

Dude there are only five people left and there have been tons of numbers crunched, even with people dropping Trump still has the lead in many polls (because people will switch over to Trump)

It's almost March, nobody is dropping out between now and Super Tuesday.

I thought it was impossible, but as time went on it simply made more and more sense that someone like Trump would get the nomination, the GOP populace is simply too pissed at the establishment for the past decade of being lied to.
 
As long as Rubio doesn't get the nomination I'll be happy. He's the one that can win an election against Hillary.

Some of us even put money on him to win the nomination, some more than others.

Rubio has less of a chance of winning than Trump. He's a balloon person full of GOP air. It's hard to imagine a politician of less substance.
 
I'm more terrified about the people voting for Trump than Trump himself.

I see so much outrage at Trump for his antics, but where is the outrage for all the extremist right-wingers voters GIVING HIM the power to do this?

It looks like around 36% of the country SUPPORTS Trump.

36% of Americans... Forget the one guy named Trump. There are millions of American's who believe everything he says.

That is what I'm more concerned about. Trump is not just one man anymore - he represents more than 1/3rd of the country's national philosophy.

This is the same line of bargaining the media has migrated too. If there weren't wrong the last 20 times, I'd say it might have merit. Saying he's anything other than the oberwhelming favorite TO WIN is denial.

at this point it seems like Hillary could go either way whereas trump is literally inevitable.

You're going to have to redo your math.

He represents one third of Americans who vote in Republican Party primaries.
 
I think it's fairly apparent that he's going to get the nomination.

In the general Hillary will get next to no voters from the republicans while trump is getting some support from blue collar democrats over job security and immigration. He's also got more minority support than the media gives him credit for.

In short I see Trump as a perfect wrecking ball for the Bush and Clinton dynasties.
 
I was hoping those that were claiming months ago that this was impossible were right, but it is looking more and more like they are going to be wrong - scary.

I don't think Trump is guaranteed 100% of registered Republican votes. There are, shocking I know, republicans who are fans of a more hawkish but socially progressive approach to governing.

Do you have anything to support this statement?

And the proof of that is where exactly?
 
I thought Trump would be massacred in the general but now I'm not too sure about that. The numbers are against him though. I wonder what strategy he will employ once he wins the nomination. I think Sanders has a big chance of defeating him than Hillary tbh.
 
Kasich is getting establishment votes that Rubio needs, and Carson/Cruz votes aren't necessarily just Trump voters. Carson's appeal is his demeanor, when he drops his voters aren't going to run to Trump who is the exact opposite in personality
