He gets to watch Cruz burn in the GE, then call people like him and trump goatfuckers, and return to the status quo

Nixon was crazy conservative, for the time. That time is not this time. If he thought Cruz's path was a viable way to power, he would have double downed harder than an gambling addict playing blackjack. His work with the HUAC still makes him more of a reactionary than Cruz could ever dream of, even without any context.

The same thing that you should think when you see GE polls 7 months out and without a pair of actual candidates.

Hint: it involves ignoring them because they don't have a whole bunch of meaning.

We're actually getting close to having meaningful GE polling at this point, like, historically

I guess it's possible that having both primaries still going strong at this point might invalidate that, but it's not really correct to say 'GE polling is traditionally meaningless this far out'

getting a good LV screen with the state of the primaries right now is probably impossible. If they're RV polls they're useless.

Except you know the fact he moved his polls dramatically at the start of the primary. What makes you think a concerted effort by all the billions of dollars in GOPe coffers and oppo research won't move some numbers? When everyone eventually bends the knee and unites against Hillary and Obama in a geared up fully funded GE campaign it will be glorious in the name of TRUMP

sure, just like the whitewater scandal broke the 1992 clinton campaign while the Lewinsky scandal broke his approval ratings

if you are depending on a scandal to sink the opposition your campaign is probably lovely to begin with and you need to do a better job

Oh and to be fair - trumps numbers continue to decline among the GE even though he's been super saturated since February

But this makes you wrong also. Sorry not sorry
