One thing for sure is Jeb cannot run a campaign. He went through 100 millions dollars
and was a disaster. He shoujld be wearing a hoodie at a press conference like Cam Newton

Trump looked like shit in that debate. If he still gets nominated the gop is done for.

The GOP has been done for years after the Christian Right took over the reigns.

so what will the top three percentages be in texas?

oilfieldscum · 02-26-2016, 10:04 AM

Cruz should win Texas, If not his ship has sailed. Trump will win the other super Tuesday states.

Yep if Cruz cannot win Texas he is toast.

I was not particularly fond of his rsponse to the Apple situation.
While I agree that court orders should be followed, I also agree that appeals should be heard. My understanding of what is being asked of Apple does not cover the single phone but would allow the government unfettered access to encryption that is part of what you are buying.

Mind you, I have always been an opponent of the Patriot Act and felt it was the wrong thing to do. Giving up your liberty for the feeling of security is always a bad deal.

OK, I'll play.

Based on my own observations of the right wing / rednecky types that I've met, Trump wins in Texas. Polls show Cruz ahead in TX, but he's got the momentum, and I'm going with my own observations. My book for the Texas Primaries:

GOP:

TRUMP: 35%
CRUZ: 34%
RUBIO: 15%
KASICH: 8%
CARSON: 8%

DEM:

HILLARY: 60%
BERNIE: 35%
A BUNCH OF OTHERS: 5%

Trump and Hillary are on cruise control to their nominations. Bloomberg rises.

I was trying to watch the highlights of some of the debates. Maybe I missed something, but all Rubio and Cruz did was attack Trump on issues that are not related to being president. They didn't offer any ideas or reason as to why they would be good in the office.

ktrouble22 · 03-02-2016, 06:58 AM

I was a bit off there. Texans were loyal to their home boy:

CRUZ: 43.7%
TRUMP: 26.8%
RUBIO: 17.7%
KASICH: 4.3%
CARSON: 4.2%

DEMS I was on the mark:

CLINTON: 65.2%
SANDERS: 33.2%

TRUMP v. CLINTON in November. Unless the GOP manages to find some real dirt on Trump and he goes to jail or someone shoots him.

Been hearing lots of repubs talk about running a 3rd candidate if trump makes it. They will shoot themselves in the foot if they do. But if they don't they may be left with only the dumbassed white voters in the party. They seem pretty stuck right now.

ftime · 03-02-2016, 04:38 PM

Keep in mind that primary voting only engages a tiny portion of voters, those most dedicated to a particular candidate. The fact that they lead to a national candidate based on various criteria make them flawed. I apply this to both sides. Everyone is off kilter on this one. Trump is a no plan idiot. Clinton is a baggage carrying - I just hate her candidate.

My strong believe is Hillary will win by a large margin in November. Believe me when I say that doesn't reflect my views. I make this statement on three critical points: Ground game in place, demographics and voter turn out. Clinton has a 30 year advantage in ground game and relationships in place. A large advantage in black and Hispanic vote and the Democratic party's ability to get the vote out. Also the female vote goes back to demographics.
I'm not saying they are always right - but look at the Vegas betting numbers.

ktrouble22 · 03-02-2016, 09:53 PM

Watch for the GOP, and maybe the DNC, establish a "standards protocol", or maybe "selection committee" so that only approved candidates can run under their name. Don't know why they didn't do it centuries ago. Actually, years ago, they did have a selection committee, it was just done quietly.

I almost feel sorry for the Koch Brothers. All that cash wasted. Wait, no I don't.
