Epic High Five posted:Psh, I'm like the 4th or 5th most prolific poster in this thread. What's the worst attack that has been levied against Trump so far by the right? A 30 second soundbyte against Trump U that legit flustered and hurt them? Then no followup except for a solid week of every other candidate saying they'd be happy to vote for him? We want you to believe this because when it blows up in your face it's going to be that much sweeter.

Helical Nightmares posted:Trump is a Nazi, Trump hates women (with evidence), Trump ran a scam (Trump University). I don't think GOP primary voters care that he hates women (they do too!), and Trump University is only going to get worse by the summer. And then of course you have these spineless "opponents". Cruz still refuses to say he won't back him after the rear end in a top hat was threatening to reveal nonexistent dirt on his wife. I mean, dear god, that was pathetic.

So yeah current delegate count is 996 to 565, if Trump wins Indiana he gets 57, bringing Trump to 1053. Up coming we have: Nebraska 36, West Virginia 34, Oregon 28, Washington 44, California 172, Montana 27, New Jersey 51, New Mexico 24, South Dakota 29 If we're super generous to Cruz, he wins 36 in Nebraska, 15 in Oregon, all 34 in WV (owing to the fact that the ballots in WV are hosed and a lot of Trump voters could accidentally gently caress up their votes), 44 in Washington, 27 in Montana, 12 in New Mexico, 29 in South Dakota, 22 in CA. That leaves Trump with Oregon 13 + California 150 + New Jersey 51 + New Mexico 12 = + 163 + 63 = 226 + 1053 = 1279. At that point, Cruz's rules committee needs to unbind the South Carolina delegates from Trump for violating the loyalty pledge, so 1279 - 50 = 1229. That's basically the only way Trump is not the nominee at this point.

The Trump U attack was super lovely because it came down to, "look at how unhappy these people are!" instead of, "hey you're going to be in court for fraud in the general if you win lmao, don't vote for this guy" Despite taking the worst possible angle on it, it STILL hurt him. Clinton has already displayed that her turnaround on Trump says something stupid -> professional ad against Trump is just an hour or two. He's gonna be on the defensive all summer

It's an identity politic staple that is erroneous and keeps people from looking at real data. There are women who are registered republicans who have voted for Trump. There are unregistered/independent and registered Democrat women who will vote for Trump. The questions of "how many" and for what "reasons is this population voting for/against Trump" cannot even be asked with the philosophy "GOP hates women. "

Why would anything written/said about Trump over the GE campaign change anyone's mind? Surely by now everyone in the country knows Hillary and Trump. People have already made up their minds and any new "scandal" just confirms doubts people already had.

wtf CNN is not going to project winners until the polls close in an hour, but will report results of the polling stations in the eastern half of the state that have already closed.

It's possible (though I really don't know how possible) that Trump can push enough blue collar whites to vote for him to help in certain states. Besides that, it's mostly a matter of energizing these people to actually vote, like most elections.

RFK's win in the Indiana primary was crucial to establishing him as the probably nominee. Then of course he was assassinated.

I guess if Trump's business skills (being a money-maker is one of his appeals) become exposed as relying on outsourcing he might lose some job-nervous blue collars.

Buckle up for...quote:We’re just a day away from the Indiana primary, and if recent polls are correct, things aren’t looking good for those of us on the right who don’t want Donald Trump to become the Republican Party’s new standard bearer. The general feeling is that if Trump wins the state, he’ll almost certainly be awarded the presidential nomination at the national convention in Cleveland.

Here's one of the lingering mysteries of this primary for me. In an election where Trump disparaged McCain on his performance in the military, called Bush a war criminal, and now has said Cruz's dad killed JFK, why did he never bring up the Rubio is gay rumors? Was that somehow crossing a line for him?
