The Republican Primary Race Is Filling Up

[dnurk]

Yes to the polls. I didn't mention anything about polls in my post. I'm just saying in general I think there are people that are voting for Trump that are not out thumping their chest that they support Trump. That's just my gut feeling, nothing scientific about it. In my day to day activities I don't see much support for Trump, I don't see Trump bumper stickers, banners, signs, etc. But apparently there are people that vote for him.

I think this is spot on. I am sure there are people that like what he is saying and how he doesn't bow down to political correctness but don't openly campaign for him for fear of being labeled racist, mysogonist, etc.

Yeah, I think Trump may be in trouble with voters that have a crisis of conscience at the ballot box.

Crazy days.

It's not a hard choice when the other options are a crook, socialist, theocrat, and a messy eater.

The silent majority don't vote.

(Insert every voter turnout lamentation here.)

The closest we get in primaries are a quiet plurality. IMHO, Trump supporters are not quiet, although they do appear to be a plurality.

I could see many voters voting for Trump that are not going to openly support him. Silent majority.

In the past week, with absolutely no influence from me, I've seen two people in my family go from pro-Cruz to pro-Trump. These are the types who are the core Cruz constituency. If he's lost them, I can understand why his overall support is eroding.

I was #250 or so at around 7:30.

This is my first Presidential in this district, so I can't really compare it to much... but previous elections around that time, I was closer to #20 or 30.

My larger hope after today: We (INGO) can stop ****ting on each other. Our election is over, there is no more convincing one another to change their minds. Each person will have done their part with their vote, and we can go back to discussing the election overall (rather than Trump v Cruz), the party overall, and be less abrasive altogether.

Meh, we'll see.

Don't count on it. We'll still have the "...if you take your ball and go home and don't vote for Trump, you're in effect voting for Hillary..." battles looming.

First, maybe I haven't had enough coffee, but by diggity, I can't figure out the asterisk part. Hitting on each other? Flouting on each other? Farting on each other? Shorting on each other? Floating on each other?

I need more coffee.

Second, welcome to INGO! Clearly, you are new here.

Actually, maybe we'll go back to discussing less emotional things. Like how wacky Orthodoxy is.

Critting. Way too many people here rolling 20s.

It's not a hard choice when the other options are a crook, socialist, theocrat, and a booger eater.

I thought you were referring to all the undecided in the polls that were being discussed. My apologies if not.

I forgot to check what number I was. But there was a line to check in, and wait to use the machines. There were more people there this morning to vote than there were at the last general. At least in my experience.

Don't count on it. We'll still have the "...if you take your ball and go home and don't vote for Trump, you're in effect voting for Hillary..." battles looming.

Unfortunately QFT.

I. Am. So. Freaking. Old.

Why yes, yes you are.

Unfortunately I also understood the reference.

Voting on election day is so passé.

The cool kids do it early (and often in Chicago).

Seems obvious to he he means "****ting on each other". What can't you get about that.

It was the double-T that was throwing me off.

Plus, you're just smarter than me. Heck, all of INGO is.

I'm just a poor old unfrozen cave man lawyer....

Trump accuses Cruz's father of helping JFK's assassin - POLITICO

 

[T.Lex]

Speaking of a bully pulpit, just wait and see how things go when he has the power to do something about all the "horrible" and "disgraceful" things that daddy-Cruz is allowed to say.

Technically, the IRS could investigate such political statements. Won't that be lovely.
