Chris Matthews serves Trump his first stumping
-
If Trump does not get the 1237 locked up by the convention I would not consider him a lock to win this thing. This thing is a mess and Donald Trump has been the huge problem. Yes he beat all the other candidates but how did he do it? On substance or on the issues or did he do a lot of name calling and insulting other candidates? Just because Carson can be compared to a child molester by Trump and still endorse him (he was promised a job by Trump) or an opportunist like Christie who said Trump was not fit to be president (and now endorses him) does not mean all these other GOP candidates Trump has trashed are going to be happy endorsing him.
The pledge given to support the eventual nominee has been thrown out the window by Cruz and Kasich who hinted about not supporting the eventual winner and Trump himself flatly saying he will not endorse the eventual winner (unless it is him).
If Trump does not get the delegates needed (and he won't) there are two ways to stop him with a brokered convention or a contested election. A brokered convention would be one where the establishment puts in place someone like Romney or Ryan which would be a disaster. In a contested convention after the first vote the delegates are free to vote for whomever they want and they will keep voting until they get a candidate with 1,237 delegates. With the current numbers looking like Trump getting blown out of the election in November : 70 percent disapproval female voters, 77 percent disapproval Hispanics, 82 percent disapproval millennials, I would say many will not really care if they will lose with Trump or lose without him. Without Trump they may even be able to save some senate seats.
I got a kick out of Trump yesterday saying he didn't need Cruz's endorsement. Really Donald with your polling numbers already having you lose by double digits to Clinton I think you would need every one of the millions of voters Cruz represents.

Trump is polling better against Clinton head to head than Reagan was polling against Jimmy Carter at this point in the race.
And maybe Carson and Christie endorsed Trump because the alternative is Cruz, who is bat shit insane and wants to destroy the country.

It really is a Long Way to the election. And as we speak about candidates or even sports teams peaking early, I'd say that the insane anti Trump attack dogs will wear out their welcome someday. Sooner or later the world needs to turn its venom on Hillary.

I voted for Ronald Reagan. I lived through his administration and became a believer in what Reagan stood for. Donald Trump does not compare to Ronald Reagan.
And maybe Governor Scott Walker among many others preferred Cruz over a moron like Trump who is taking the republican party off the cliff.

Scott Walker is one of the worst governors in the country, if not the worst. Scott Walker is only governor because the Kochs put him there, and he's systematically ruining the state of Wisconsin one step at a time.
Sliced funding for the school systems, shredded up workers rights and eliminated "living wage" requirements - now low wage workers are rapidly rising.
They prefer Cruz because he's bought and paid for by the establishment, not because Trump is ruining the party.
Trump wants to solve illegal immigration, cut back on H1B visas, get rid of NAFTA, fix trade imbalances (*cough* Reagan put a 45% tariff on Japanese motorcycles to save Harley Davidson in the 80s - it worked), anti-TPP.
These are positions that the elites in the country don't like - because they're good for the people, not them.
Trump has the record turnout in all the primary elections. More votes in MA than Romney got in 2012 - more votes alone in some states than were cast in entire primaries in 2008 and 2012. He's not ruining the party, he's the only reason it's relevant - people are joining.

I think this is where Trump and his supporters are making a huge mistake. Trump needs to turn his attention to Clinton and when he attacks her that will naturally rally republicans behind him. He seems bent though on destroying his own party. Trump has only gotten the support of about one third of the republican vote with two thirds opposed to him. He has made a ton of enemies within the party with his scorched earth personal attacks such as:
Cruz: :Lying Ted
Graham: Idiot
Perry : tries to look smart wearing glasses
Rubio: Little marco the baby, lightweight, clown
Carson: compared him to a child molester (I know he still is endorsing Trump)
Bush: Low energy, dull
John McCain: Not a war hero because Trump only believes war heroes are those who don't get captured
Fioriana: who would vote for a face like that
I am probably missing a few.
But my worst one is Trump calling one of my all time favorite rockers Neil Young a "total hypocrite" for asking Trump not to play his songs during his campaign and once having asked Trump for some money.
I think it is possible Trump could still beat the odds but he is really going to have to get his game better and start reaching out to bring the party together. I don't like the establishment part of the GOP as much as anyone but it will take the whole of the party united to beat Clinton. Since Trump was compared to Reagan let's remember Reagan's 11 th commandment about not speaking ill towards another republican and Trump has turned that on it's head with his personal attacks and dividing the party.

Everybody in the party became his enemy as soon as he announced he was running - it has nothing to do with anything he did.
Maybe you should consider that Cruz can't answer a question without bringing up Donald Trump. Asked about the Brussels attack "well it's ironic Donald Trump made the comments about NATO which happens to be headquartered in belgium"
Asked about having an affair with his wife "Well Donald Trump..."
Asked about why he has a tax plan that is utterly Retard and will cripple the working class "Well the thing you need to understand about Donald Trump"
Everybody else's strategy has been to attack and corrupt Trump's image - so he responds, which is good because the Jeb Bush's and Ted Cruz's would be terrible for our country. People have quit his campaign because they disagree with the ethics of things that have been going on.
The Ted Cruz strategy is "I'm the only one who can beat Donald Trump". The Donald Trump strategy is "I'm going to make America great again and we're going to win, win, win,..."

Are those policy differences or juvenile name calling? I guess Cruz could start every interview with calling Trump "Sleazy Donald" like Trump calls Cruz "Lying Ted" but then he would be using the Trumpton shorts playbook. Of course candidates are going to attack each other on issues it has been the Trumpster who has gone into the gutter with juvenile personal attacks like the ones I already posted.

It's odd that Trump has more women, black, hispanic, and millennial votes than everybody else on the republican side combined then.
Also more democrat and independent votes.
But Ted Cruz - who has ONLY won die hard conservative/religious closed primaries and caucuses in red areas has a better chance at beating Hillary in a general.
Trump is killing it in the south, the midwest, the north east. The fact he's turning people out in record numbers to vote for him has to count for something right?

Polls: Trump Clobbered by Hillary Among Women, Nonwhites, Millennials
-
The Hill’s Ben Kamisar points out that while Republicans have justifiably complained in the past about Democrats talking about a war on women — “Donald Trump has personally waged a war on women for decades.” Kamisar reminds us of the damage caused by Trump’s war on women. He cites a new CNN poll released March 24 that found that 73 percent of registered female voters in the United States had an unfavorable view of Trump. He also writes that is in line with a Reuters poll from last week that found more than half of American women hold a “very unfavorable”view of the Donald. In addition, Kasimar tells us that opposition to Trump extends to Republican women:
A recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll found that 47 percent of Republican women could not see themselves supporting Trump, a number significantly higher than for any other GOP candidate.http://www.redstate.com/california_yankee/2016/03/28/trump-losing-war-women/

Polls: Trump Clobbered by Hillary Among Women, Nonwhites, Millennials
I don't care who the Republican nominee is they aren't going to win the women, minority, or millennial vote (millennials don't show up anyway)Polls: Trump Clobbered by Hillary Among Women, Nonwhites, Millennials
But if you look at what matters - the people who have actually voted - Trump is crushing his competition among every group and it isn't even close.
And NBC/WSJ polls have proven to be outliers every time - and they've been wrong versus others like quinnipac, CNN, fox
GE polls mean nothing until July

Here's what dilbert creator Scott Adams has to say about Trump.
6. To bend reality, Trump is a master of identity politics – and identity is the strongest persuader.
"Do you think it is a coincidence that Trump called Megyn Kelly a bimbo and then she got a non-bimbo haircut that is ... well, Trumpian?" Adams writes. "It doesn't look like a coincidence to this trained persuader."
One way to achieve this is by deploying "linguistic kill shots" that land true, and alter perception through two ways.
"The best Trump linguistic kill shots," Adams writes,"have the following qualities: 1. Fresh word that is not generally used in politics; 2. Relates to the physicality of the subject (so you are always reminded)."
Writes Adams: "Identity is always the strongest level of persuasion. The only way to beat it is with dirty tricks or a stronger identity play. ... (And) Trump is well on his way to owning the identities of American Alpha Males, and Women Who Like Alpha Males. Clinton is well on her way to owning the identities of angry women, beta males, immigrants, and disenfranchised minorities.
"If this were poker, which hand looks stronger to you for a national election?"
