[h=6]- MARCH 23, 2016 -[/h][h=1]POLL: TRUMP BEATS BOTH FOES HEAD-TO-HEAD[/h]Politico
Donald Trump would lead either Ted Cruz or John Kasich in a two-way race, according to the results of a Quinnipiac University national poll released Wednesday.
Asked whom they would like to win the GOP nomination, 43 percent of the 652 Republicans surveyed said they wanted Trump to emerge as the party's choice in Cleveland, followed by 29 percent for Cruz and just 16 percent for Kasich, with 9 percent undecided.
In a head-to-head matchup between Trump and Cruz — with Kasich voters re-allocated to their second choices — the Manhattan real-estate mogul earned 46 percent support, compared with 37 percent for Cruz and 12 percent undecided. While the Texas senator drew slim advantages among tea party supporters, white, born-again evangelicals and those describing themselves as very conservative, Trump drew far greater support from voters who described themselves as somewhat conservative, moderate or liberal, as well as among men, women and those 45 years and older.
With Cruz supporters shifting to their second choices, Trump would have a large lead. Fifty-six percent said they would vote for Trump, with just 25 percent opting for Kasich and 13 percent undecided. More than seven-in-10 (71 percent) of tea party supporters said they would vote for Trump over the Ohio governor, along with strong majorities in every demographic and ideological group, including those describing themselves as moderate or liberal.
On the Democratic side of the race, 50 percent said they would prefer Hillary Clinton as their party's nominee, while 38 percent wanted Bernie Sanders and 10 percent did not know.
Matched up against Trump and Cruz, both Clinton and Sanders lead by as much as 14 points, as is the case of Sanders' lead in a hypothetical race with Trump. On the other hand, Kasich outperformed both Democrats when tested head-to-head, leading Clinton 47 percent to 39 percent and Sanders 45 percent to 44 percent.

On which candidate they definitely would not support, 54 percent overall said they would never vote for Trump in November, while 43 percent said the same of Clinton, 33 percent for Cruz, 27 percent for Sanders and 14 percent for Kasich.
Asked which words they would use to describe their feelings toward a Clinton or Trump presidency, the results carried some whopping negatives. The word "disaster" led the way for Clinton, with 68 mentions, followed by "good" (51 mentions), "scared" (49), "disappointed" (43) and "hopeful" (41).
For Trump, the results are even more absymal. The top word: "scared," with 117 separate mentions, followed by "disaster," "frightened," "terrified," horrified" and "disgusted." The first positive word for Trump, "good," was only the sixth-most frequent word mentioned by registered voters.
Quinnipiac conducted the poll from March 16-21 by landline and cellphone, surveying 1,451 registered voters nationwide with an overall margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points. The sample includes 652 Republicans with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points and 635 Democrats with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.

[h=6]- MARCH 23, 2016 -[/h][h=1]POLL: MAJORITY OF REPUBLICANS SAY PARTY SHOULD GET BEHIND TRUMP AT CONVENTION[/h]The Hill
A majority of Republicans and GOP-leaning voters surveyed in a new poll say the Republican Party should get behind Donald Trump at a contested convention if he enters with the most delegates.
Fifty-four percent of those surveyed in the Monmouth University poll released Wednesday vocalized that position, compared to 34 percent who said another candidate should be nominated instead.Those surveyed were told Trump may have the most delegates entering the convention but not enough to win the nomination on the first round of voting, allowing another candidate to potentially win the nomination on a subsequent ballot.
However, Republicans' embrace of Trump may be a bit more nuanced. He still does not have the support of a majority of Republicans, despite having won more than half the necessary 1,237 delegates to lock up the nomination, including with his most recent win Tuesday in Arizona.
Forty-one percent of Republican and GOP-leaning registered voters surveyed by Monmouth say they support Trump, compared to 29 percent for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and 19 percent for Ohio Gov. John Kasich. And among those GOP voters not currently supporting Trump, 55 percent want to see someone else besides him get the nomination at a contested convention, while 31 percent said the party should back him.
Cruz, who is currently running second in the delegate count, topped the list of those who Republicans would like to see nominated other than Trump, followed by Kasich, Florida Sen.Marco Rubio and Ben Carson.
The survey of 353 Republican and GOP-leaning voters was conducted March 17–20 via telephone with a margin of error of 5.2 points.

[h=6]- MARCH 23, 2016 -[/h][h=1]TRUMP REVOLUTION COULD BE MORE INCREDIBLE THAN REAGAN REVOLUTION[/h]Town Hall
If Donald Trump becomes president, we may witness something more incredible than the Reagan Revolution.
The greatest modern-day president, Ronald Reagan, left an immensely powerful legacy. Almost three decades after his departure from the White House, he remains the conservative standard-bearer of the Republican Party.
Under his presidency, the United States witnessed a grand political realignment toward conservative foreign and domestic policies. Reagan’s leadership boosted morale, confidence, patriotism, America’s economy and ended communism.
It has been difficult to conceive of a presidency that would trump the revolution of Reagan.
Until now.
Much is different, including the times, the threats, the challenges and the world.
While it may have been unimaginable to generations of America that lived through the Carter years, America is in much worse shape than she was then.
Seven years of a president that has deliberately diminished America at home and abroad, in accordance with his worldview, beginning and ending with apology tours, has taken its toll.
Patriotism has become politically-incorrect, and libeling America at will has become acceptable. Believing in American exceptionalism is now considered culturally-obtuse and academics at elementary, middle and high schools, along with college campuses, intentionally and recklessly paint America as a hateful, bigoted and oppressive place.
Political correctness, once born on college campuses, now weaponized by the leftist cockroaches that inhabit and preside over social media, has become a way of life. America is now in a race to become another European country, aspiring for mediocrity, resenting success, with all the self-loathing and suicidal inclinations we see in that continent.
There is a war on America. A war on Christians. A war on white, middle-class men and women. A war on anyone with traditional views on marriage, the environment, patriotism and life. We lose our jobs. We miss out on opportunities. We’re canceled as speakers or disinvited from social gatherings.
Enough is enough.
A President Trump would change that.
Every day ordinary people in America and around the world have been shunted and vilified from the mainstream. This is despite our moral and philosophical compass being common-sense conservatism.
Trump is going to give free-thinking conservatives the run of the table.
No more mainstream leftist censorship from social media.
No more political correctness for the sake of social engineering.
Just freedom.
This could be more incredible than the Reagan Revolution.
Imagine.
No more libeling of America.
God and patriotism back in schools.
Trump will reset the Obama presidency and its malefactors. Trump will transform the party to that of a coalition of blue-collar conservative workers and evangelicals Christians who want the US to halt the war on Christianity.
A Trump presidency would be Culture War Ground Zero. With the disgraceful riots of Chicago a couple of weeks ago, Trump has emerged as the consensus leader against the Left.
Many don’t get it.
They don't get it that Trump is there to give them a leg up rather than be screwed over constantly by those who look down at them.
The Republican Establishment of today is the same as the Rockefeller crowd of the 70s.
As Brussels amply showed yesterday, the West is staring into the barrel here.
The Republicans in this millennium have only won the popular vote once. And that was by less than one percent. If they had a coalition of white conservatives voting for their own interests, they would win in landslides.
Like Reagan.
Reagan Democrats win landslides. Imagine making them a permanent fixture of the Republican voting base. The Democrats haven't changed one person’s mind -they changed the electorate instead.
As I have traveled throughout America, so many have told me: “Trump is our man”. He’s the guy, they say, that has come to save the world from the path of self-destruction by the vices of our own virtues.
America needs to pull one for mankind, and seal this one for Trump. For those who can't see it yet, the Trump revolution will sweep them away

[h=6]- MARCH 23, 2016 -[/h][h=1]DONALD TRUMP WON TUESDAY’S PRIMARIES, WITH 1 PERCENT OF ONE STATE REPORTING ITS VOTES[/h]The Washington Post
With 1 percent of the vote in the state of Arizona reporting, the Associated Press called the state of Arizona for Donald Trump. And just like that, Trump closes out the night's three Republican contests with an expanded lead in the delegate count.
Once again, we point to the Republican Party's inconsistent allocation rules. Arizona, unlike most of the previous Republican contests, is winner-take-all. With 58 delegates at stake, Trump gets all 58 — his second-largest single-state haul behind Florida. (In third and fourth are Illinois and South Carolina.) Even if Ted Cruz wins all of Utah's delegates — which he can do if he gets 50 percent of the vote there — Cruz only gets 40 delegates for his trouble. There's also a contest in American Samoa, but that only offers nine delegates.
So Trump, whose goal coming into the night was extending his lead, will extend his lead.
What's interesting in Arizona, as noted by Cook Political's Dave Wasserman, is that Cruz — seen by many as the only option to stop Trump — trailed the collective vote for people who had already dropped out in early voting. By the time nearly half the vote was in, the split looked like this:
imrs.php

That's largely a function of the early vote. As votes continued to come in, Marco Rubio — who dropped out a week ago — trailed Ted Cruz by a smaller-than-you-might-expect amount. People who voted for Rubio before he dropped out, of course, still had their votes counted. This reinforces the idea that Cruz would have benefited from a smaller field much earlier in the race.
That's the subtext to Trump's net-delegate gain. Again: Cruz may get all 40 delegates in Utah, meaning that Trump's net gain will end up being about 18. (Samoa is unusual for a number of reasons.) That's good for Trump — but not as good as if he'd been able to split the Utah delegates with Cruz to some extent. After all, the race now isn't really between Trump and Cruz. It's between Trump and 1,237 — the number of delegates he needs to earn before the convention to stave off a fight on the floor once he gets to Cleveland.
Earlier today, we noted that Trump needed to win about 53 percent of the outstanding delegates in order to hit that mark. Taking 58 of 98 on Tuesday puts him above that target.
Trump wins twice.

REPUBLICANS TO TRUMP: GET THE DELEGATES OR SHUT UP!

Posted by soopermexican on Mar 25, 2016 at 7:30 PM in Politics | 54 Comments

Politico is reporting that according to a panel of Republicans they put together including some insiders, if Trump doesn’t get the 50% of delegates to win the nomination, he’s just gonna have to suck it up:

A majority of Republican insiders say Donald Trump should not get the GOP presidential nomination if he falls short of winning a majority of delegates — even if Trump amasses more than any of his opponents.

That’s according to The POLITICO Caucus — a panel of strategists, activists and operatives in seven key swing states. Roughly 6-in-10 Republicans said the party should nominate another candidate if Trump finishes with a plurality, rather than the required 1,237-delegate majority necessary to claim the party nomination.

“Rules is rules. You have to get a majority,” said a Virginia Republican who, like all respondents, completed the survey anonymously. “That’s the problem with our country: No one ever wins anymore.”

Trump’s surrogates, including Sean Hannity and Eric Bolling at Fox News, have been trying to make people believe that the GOP would be “stealing” the nomination from the toupee’d totalitarian if he got more delegates than anyone else and didn’t get the nomination. What they don’t like to admit is that those are simply the rules of the game.


More from Politico:

The question is central to the GOP calculus before the Cleveland convention: Should the party award the nomination to the candidate who won the most delegates in total — as Trump himself has advocated — or stick to the rule that a candidate must win at least 1,237 delegates to be the nominee?

The majority of insiders who want the party to choose someone else if Trump only wins a plurality of delegates said they are motivated by questions of electability, Trump’s capricious campaign style and personality.

“I’m firmly in the ‘Never Trump’ camp,” said a New Hampshire Republican. “The GOP gets killed if he’s the nominee. We probably get killed if he doesn’t support a different nominee anyway. So if it makes no difference to the eventual outcome, my conscience will be clear going down with a responsible nominee instead.”


Trump can whine all he wants about the rules, but that’s the game he chose to play when he got into the race. Don’t let any of his mindless sycophants, like Hannity and Bolling, convince you otherwise.

Is this why the GOP machine is having Cruz and Kasich stay in the race? To keep Trump from getting enough delegates, and getting the nod... so they can put whoever they want in the nomination?

Seems real shady, to just give the nomination to someone who didnt work for it, and campaign for months on end. Should be a rule that whoever gets the nomination should have campaigned for at least 4 months, and stated they were running for President by January of the election year.

Dirty politics at work.

[h=1]Donald Trump Illinois delegates reveal leadership chaos ahead of convention[/h]

Delegates discuss contacting other campaigns for advice, lack of organisation and the disappearance of state chair Kent Gray during anxious conference call


Illinois delegates elected to represent Donald Trump have voiced fears about chaotic organisation and a lack of leadership in their state as Republicans prepare for what could be the first contested convention in decades.





During a torturous two-hour conference call on Thursday night, the delegates struggled to figure out how to help the frontrunner at the Republican National Convention in July, wondering how best to contact the campaign in Wisconsin for tips.
Anxiety was mounting throughout the conference call about the lack of organization in the Land of Lincoln for Trump. As one person said “There is no Trump team in Illinois, it’s us”, a statement echoed by pro-Trump activist Doug Ibendahl when he pointed out on the call “we don’t have any leader, it’s just us.”
The Guardian understands the delegates also tried to deal with the mysterious disappearance of former Trump state chair Kent Gray from the campaign’s operations. Before leaving the campaign, Gray had tried to keep rival campaigns from making the ballot in Illinois but failed because he had not filed the paperwork in a timely manner.
They also spoke about fears the #nevertrump movement would use “riffraff” to steal delegates and were uncertain about what to do next to help secure the GOP nomination for Trump.
In the state’s primary election on 15 March, Trump won 39% of the vote and 53 of the state’s 69 delegates to the convention.
There were a lot of questions about what the infrastructure in Illinois would be in a general election for the real estate mogul in the state and what type of organization was there in the state. As people on the call noted, Bill Graff – the replacement for Gray – was a volunteer who was seemingly dragooned into taking a leadership role by the national Trump campaign. Many of those on the calls were Trump loyalists, including one ready to move to a new country if Trump didn’t win.
Callers also spent time mourning that Illinois state GOP chair Pat Brady won a delegate slot because of anti-Muslim prejudice among Trump voters. What was imagined to be an effort to mount a diverse slate of Trump delegates led to several candidates for Trump delegates with “Muslim-sounding names”. Theyunderperformed in Illinois’ complex primary election because of what one caller described as many “people avoiding the guy with the Muslim-sounding name”. As a result, Brady, a Kasich supporter, “snuck in”.
Trump’s campaign is trying to ensure that the bombastic billionaire gets the 1,237 delegates necessary to win the nomination on the first ballot. In the event of acontested convention, it’s expected that Trump would face major obstacles on a second ballot for the nomination as many pledged delegates for him will not actually support Trump when given a free vote. As the Wall Street Journalreported on Thursday, the frontrunner has already lost ground in Louisiana, a state that Trump won on primary night.

By now even Nate Silver can figure out if Trump doesn't get the magic number of delegates he won't be the nominee.

I still believe when the dust settles Ted Cruz will be the consensus choice.

In Defense Of Donald Trump’s Heidi Cruz Tweet

There’s been a lot of pearl-clutching lately over Donald Trump’s tweet about Heidi Cruz, in which he compared a flattering picture of his own wife to a particularly dour-looking snap of Cruz’s. Critics say Trump’s not-so-subtle attack on Heidi’s looks was un-presidential and uncalled for.

They’re wrong.
The first point to be made is that Trump didn’t start the wife-baiting. Make America Awesome, a Trump-opposing PAC founded by the mannish Liz Mair, started circulating a particularly raunchy image of Melania Trump, urging GOP primary voters to back Cruz. While Cruz didn’t authorise the ad himself, it was retweeted by many of his supporters. As always, the super PACs acted like a ninja assassins for its candidate. “It wasn’t me, your honour – it was those dastardly, nefarious PACs!”
405

Feminists call this sort of behaviour slut-shaming. I call it sexy-shaming. I’m really not sure what’s achieved by pointing out that your opponent has an attractive wife. Isn’t that a sign of success? Indeed Melania isn’t just a great beauty: she’s proven herself to be eloquent and willing to speak up about immigration, and she is the only non-dwarf (sorry Jeb) spouse to have gone through legal immigration, unless you count
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)
97%





himself of course.Is there any reason to attack her looks, besides the jealousy of women who apparently have neither looks nor brains?
Trump’s critics have accused him of being over-the-top in his response. Surely, say his critics, insulting a rival’s wife for being too ugly is simply crass, classless, and rude.
I agree. It’s all of those things. But that’s a good thing.
For decades, politics has been a competition of grievance. Politicians and activists win public sympathy by pretending to be hurt and offended. Those who are the most convincingly wounded win the day — and it’s the left, the masters of faux-offendedness, who tend to beat the competition.
Trump’s crass tweets and objectionable comments may not be comfortable reading for old-fashioned conservatives who appreciate decency and good manners, but they are helping to break the language codes that were primarily set up by the left, for the left. Trump is destroying old notions of what’s acceptable and unacceptable to say, and the primary losers of his new paradigm will be left-wingers and establishment types.
If Republicans learn anything from the unbelievable failure of Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign, it should be that “presidential” and “nice” don’t go together. Isn’t it strange that elections follow the same rules as dating? Nice guys finish last.
Republicans typically reject the “everybody gets a trophy” mentality that has invaded our culture, but if you insist, we can add up to the attractiveness quotient of Cruz’s wife and all of his alleged mistresses and compare the total with Melania. That ought to at least earn him a participation trophy.
To beat Hillary, Republicans must focus on getting more people under the tent, which means snagging Democrats. Would Trump gain the support blue collar working Democrats by tearfully apologizing to Cruz after the senator’s minions attacked his wife? He could actually alienate them with that behaviour. Outside of the D.C beltway, respect is gained by standing up for yourself, and punching back twice as hard.

You also need balls to tame the beast of political progressivism. Trump is facing attackers from all sides. GOP establishment members planning convention shenanigans to steal the nomination, RINOs like Rick Wilson promising to vote for Hillary Clinton over Trump, and Soros-funded goons from Black Lives Matter and MoveOn planning attacks on the democratic process. The Donald knows that the best defense is a good offense, and that’s exactly the style we need to win the election.

Trump isn’t just changing politics, he’s changing culture. The grievance wars have created a daily reality of fear for people who fall foul of the hyper-offended, even when the offense is unintentional. When actor Drake Bell cracked a joke about calling Caitlyn Jenner “Bruce,” he faced an internet lynch-mob of people who were offended on Jenner’s behalf and was forced to apologise.
Taking offense is a sort of one-upmanship. If you’re offended, especially on behalf of an allegedly “marginalized” group, it signals you’re a part of the educated, progressive elite. This, from people who’ve never read a book outside 2 years of a Gender Studies degree.
This is the consensus that’s prevailed in politics and culture for more than a generation. There are only two significant forces that are putting up a fight against it: the anonymous pranksters of the internet, who reside on websites like oooo and 8chan and delight in deliberately offending people, and Donald Trump.
Because Trump’s campaign is almost entirely self-funded, he has leeway to be a total asshole on the public stage. He doesn’t have to worry about what polite society thinks of him, because unlike the other candidates, he isn’t thinking about the next fundraising dinner in D.C.
This has given him the unique ability to smash our culture’s stifling language codes with a sledgehammer. In the process, he’s certainly lowering the tone — but it badly needs to be lowered. Only by totally ignoring people’s feelings can we end the left’s culture of grievance, offense, and victimhood. It’s what I’ve been doing for years, and it’s what Trump is now doing on the national stage.
Sure, the rudeness is uncomfortable to decent conservatives who appreciate good manners and a civil tongue. But if we really want to beat the left, we need Trump’s crassness. A few mean tweets about Heidi Cruz is a small price to pay to end a quarter-century of grievance culture.
