Good God, the Republican Electorate is Stupid

[cigaretteman]

Donald Trump is increasing his lead over his opponents with support from 49 percent of Republicans, a new poll released Monday morning shows.

The CNN/ORC International poll released the day before Super Tuesday has Trump with a commanding 33-point lead over Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz only one point behind Rubio at 15 percent. Ben Carson is polling at 10 percent and Ohio Gov. John Kasich is at 6 perent.

Support for Trump has increased 8 points since the same poll was conducted in January and more than doubled since he sat at 24 percent in September.


Monday’s poll shows Trump has energized a large chunk of voters, as nearly 8 in 10 say they are enthusiastic about voting this year. Of non-Trump supporters, only 39 percent say they are more enthusiastic than in previous elections.

He also appears to have locked up a significant chunk of the vote, as 78 percent of his supports say they’re definitely voting for him, somewhat validating his claim that not even murder could slow down the Trump train. By comparison, only 57 percent of people supporting other GOP candidates say they’re definitely going with their preferred candidate.

Rodman to Cruz: Trump's about to 'fire your a--!'
Fifty-one percent of those polled said Trump would be most effective at solving the country’s problems while 48 percent said he’d best be able to handle the role of commander-in-chief. Cruz came in second in both areas, at 17 percent each.

The Real Clear Politics national polling average has Trump 13 points ahead of Cruz and 16.5 points ahead of Rubio.

All of this points to an increased likelihood that Trump is cruising to the GOP nomination and even Kasich agrees as he predicted the billionaire will sweep every state come Tuesday.

“I think Trump’s probably going to win all of them,” Kasich told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday. “But you keep holding your own, and we have our campaign plan. Everybody has to do it the way they want to do it.”

The CNN/ORC International poll was conducted among 427 Republican and Republican-leaning voters and has a margin of error of +/- 5 percentage points.

[SIXERS24]

The Democrats are nominating a soon to be felon! Hell with our national security and secrets!

 

[curt26]

For the first time ever, I agree with you on something. I can't believe this guy is fooling so many people. Embarrassing.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Trump 2016!

 

[LuteHawk]

Trump appeals to blue collar workers whether they are
GOP, Dem, or Independent. He appeals to people who
are totally disgusted with the Obama administration and
both houses of Congress. In plain English, we are about
to witness a revolution in American politics.

 

[Huey Grey]

Republicans are incredibly stupid. Trump will get destroyed by Hillary, GOP will probably lose the Senate, and they might even lose the House. By 2017, Dems could own everything including the Supreme Court.

 

[22*43*51]

Thanks a lot Obama.

 

[Huey Grey]

Thanks a lot Obama.

Obama's got nothing to do with this. It's the racists finally admitting to their ugly babies.

Direct correlation to his results over the last 8 years.

Really? Then how do you explain the racists piling onto Obama even before he was President? Whether you admit it, the far right is no longer satisfied having to play nice with minorities, so are using Trump as an excuse to try putting them in their place once and for all.

You guys might want to start getting a better voter turnout before making claims about a Hillary victory.

If I had Hillary Clinton as my candidate I would travel incognito.

I saw Obama for what he was when he was running. This has since been confirmed via his presidency. Does that make me a racist?

 

[The Tradition]

Republicans are incredibly stupid. Trump will get destroyed by Hillary.

Polls are suggesting that Trump could beat Hillary in New York. There is no possible way Hillary wins if Trump takes New York's electors.

[Herkmeister]

You cannot say Trump is racist just because he fired Dennis Rodman.

 

[Huey Grey]

You guys might want to start getting a better voter turnout before making claims about a Hillary victory.

Hillary consistently beats Trump in head to head matchups, Trump has the lowest favorability rating of any candidate, and perhaps worse of all for Trump supporters, Hillary will likely kill him in election spending. Trump has no SuperPacs and can't expect much help from the RNC. Meanwhile Hillary is expected to spend upwards of $2.5 billion. Call this a good starting place for Trump if you want, but it isn't.

He would crush her in Florida. That in itself would make it damn near impossible for her to win.

You can keep the polls, brutha. I'm talking about voter turnout. The dems aren't turning out to vote for either of these Dem candidate. That is a fact.

Could be something to keep an eye out for. But it is just one poll. 42 national polls have already been done. Trump only won 5 of them. Not very encouraging news if you're a Trump fan.

Did you read that study from stoney brook university that says the Donald has a 97% chance of beating hillary clinton if nominated? Seems it's a lot more.than just the right supporting him.

Your meltdown is going to be epic if Trump wins. I can't wait to watch it happen.

If I had Hillary Clinton as my candidate I would travel in Cognito.

solid point.

You use this word 'fact' but I don't think it means what you think it means.

 

[CarolinaHawkeye]

Trump 2016!

I think this proves his point!

Guess you didn't catch McConnell giving his GOP Senators the greenlight to run against Trump, did you?

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

I don't have that much faith in the American electorate. These are the same people that RE-elected George W. Bush, the most inept President of modern times, and then were surprised he was also horrible his second term. When W walked out of his second term with around 22% of America's support, that shows about 28% of people admit they were complete schmucks, while 22% were still blissfully unaware they were schmucks.

 

[NoleSoup4U]

That isn't what I'm talking about. BTW, it's about time you guys and the mainstream Republicans show your true partnership.

 

[Huey Grey]

Well thanks for proving my point, at least. If establishment Republicans see Trump as the enemy, what makes you think he will be viable in a general? Where will he get his support? Trump will lose women. He will lose minorities. He'll have a hard time drawing in independents. Even moderate Republicans will support him less than your average nominee. So who will he have left? Angry white guys? I just don't see how he'll get it done.

 

[Vroom_C14]

Now you know how the R has felt for the past two terms... welcome.

 

[hawkeye54545]

Ciggy actually got something right. Yes the Republican eloctorate is incredibly stupid. Fortunately, it is exceeded only by the Democrats in stupidity. Hillary Clinton? Really? Dumbasses

Because the mainstream Republicans are obviously a small part of the party. A bunch of rich, white, corrupt people (think Bush or Clinton) who are starting to lose their grip on the party. Not that I think Trump is any kind of savior, but it's pretty obvious that this small group of Rinos are fighting tooth and nail to keep control of the party.

How big do you define the GOP establishment?

 

[Herkmeister]

Hell yes, and this is only more fuel for Trump!! And on both sides of the aisle. Those of us who are SICK of BAU love this.

Another thing to ponder: When Trump announced in June his reception from the media was "Clown!!" "He won't last" etc. NOW..............those bozos who think they alter America's thought process are eating crow.

Jeb has proven money don't matter!!!!!!!!!! $2.5 billion down the old rat hole for Hill and her establishment!!!! That's gonna be fun to watch.

And finally, the Clinton Trump War of 2016 has yet to begin. The Donald has only put one warning shot across the bow of the American "Destroyer" SS Clinton. When the bullets and fur are flying we will see what the polls do.

Huey, has this race not shown you the lack of relevancy in polls? Get out of the dark ages man, this is a new voter revolution. Trump is the pawn of a pissed off American voter segment.

 

[NoleSoup4U]

It's looking to be pretty obvious that they aren't all that big, by how Rubio and Bush have been getting boat raced.

the gop establishment died in 2008 for good, people are apparently 8 years behind the times or something, actually died a few years before that when W started "too big to fail"

The left will never admit it - but the truth is if Trump was running as a Democrat he'd be winning that nomination right now as well.

Quite the opposite. The polls have actually been quite good in predicting who will win so far. So the fact that Hillary has consistently beaten Trump suggests that Trump is already in trouble.

I was referring to the "change" in the polls. Not the stats just prior to voting. Bernie has risen from 3% man!!!!! That's to what I was referring.

 

[Herkmeister]

And Trump has now exceeded the ceiling those talking heads had set for him. You know, those dumb ass crow eating fruitcakes who think they alter our thoughts and actions.
