Donald Trump To Run For President in 2016!!!!!!!!

[jordanft19]

I typed in the FEC number on google, this is what I came up with: http://www.fec.gov/fecviewer/Candida...171&tabIndex=3

Honestly, I have no idea if he will run. Seems really suspicious nonetheless

[bettilimbroke999]

I know and its amazing how some people praise Obama and want more of the same. Other than Trump,just more of the same they will get.

I honestly feel like this nomination may be the Republicans last chance...8 more years of Obama type leadership and there will be too many bums on welfare panhandling just worried about which candidate is gonna give them the most food stamps to even have a proper election.

In the Republican race, Trump gets support from 41 percent of likely primary voters — followed by Ted Cruz at 22 percent, Marco Rubio at 17 percent and John Kasich at 13 percent.

I swear you would think Trump is a member of the communist party the way the Republican party's OWN POLITICIANS are attacking him. The Republican party must be throwing the election or just flatout insane as they have one chance in hell to win the election and its name is Donald Trump...even with Trump as their candidate a win is unlikely since this country has decided to become a welfare state despite being the largest economy on earth.

100% true, every word. 70 million republican voters expected this year & Trump has the most of the say 30 million who
prefer Trump 10 million are like me hardcore who will never vote Republican again if they take the nomination away from him.
The anti-Trump coalition has a choice; ease up on the nonsense and have a chance to win the election or create
a doomsday scenario where Clinton wins in a historic landslide and the Supreme Court becomes as left wing as the old
Russian Communist party.

A filing was made on Feb 1 where the legal entity controlling the Romney for President committee filed an amended statement of organization. The Romney for President committee is Romney's campaign committee from 2008 and 2012. They have made routine such filings every election cycle as the committee continues to take in revenue from renting out its lists.

[bettilimbroke999]

I get it now...

Trump supporters aren't interested in a leader.

Instead they want someone that they can be like.

His supporters see the money and the bullying prowess and it impresses them. They want to be like him.

Wow, a number of posters here (no names) were obviously bullied at school (or some other time in their life) at one point and now want to be the bully and think they can be with Drumpf at the helm...

Sad sad state of affairs when deomcracy becomes a willing casualty of someone's personal agenda...

I would like to be as rich as him but that has nothing to do with why I'd select him over Hillary...I would like to have as much money as the Clinton's have made during their political careers as well for that matter

Yeah democracy is SO overrated right?

With a Drumpf president sbr will no longer be able to exist in its current form due to changing libel laws...

Only 3% of budget goes to anything like that while 20% goes to defense, who doesnt the U.S. war with these days? Nobody ever concerns themselves with the waste there and the 150 mil dollar planes that dont even work. Just know that every time they drop a bomb and kill innocent Syrians your tax dollars paid for them.

other than Trump, who is gonna stop that? He's the only one that doesn't have his hands in someone's pocket.

Look at Trump's campaign so far. He's spent a fraction of what the others have and he's winning. Imagine if he bring some of that to the country.

[d2bets]

Trump still is the big dog in the fight, even after a so so night!

Rubio will never be ahead of Kasich, the show goes north! My prediction last night was almost spot on
First odds coming out of Super Saturday as I heard someone callitcall it.

Bookmaker:

Trump -205
Cruz +420
Kasich +825
Rubio +1150

He is right now already on Betfair.
Kasich +1500
Rubio +1100

[d2bets]

It looks like Rubio might scoop up all 23 delegates in Puerto Rico. Trump falling farther and farther behind in his race to 1,237.

And this is a partial barometer towards Florida. Lots of PR there and I doubt they are represented in these bogus polls. Why dod you think Trump begged Rubio to drop out yesterday? Because he knows he's going to lose Florida.

Kasich wins Ohio. Rubio wins Florida. All hell breaks loose on March 16th when everyone wakes up to the realization that there will be a contested convention. It is going to happen.

Im not sold on Donald, just because he hasnt taken large money means nothing or maybe he has. I see who he's advised by, I see who's on his staff so for me I dont see how he's really any different than the rest. Mostly what concerns me is America putting Israel's interests before its own and he wont change that.

Early predictions for Florida and Ohio:

Florida:
Rubio 42%
Trump 34%
Cruz 16%
Kasich 7%

Ohio:
Kasich 40%
Trump 34%
Rubio 13%
Cruz 12%

Post March 15th, Trump will need about 68% of remaining delegates to get to 1,237. Virtually impossible.

Where are you getting the Fla predictions from? I see Rubio got bet today and Kasich faded so I'm guessing other people saw the same thing.

[smoke a bowl]

He can't get there without fla or ohio but I assumed he was 80+% to win fla.

[d2bets]

I'm getting that from my intuition. Trump consistently loses late voters and underperforms polls in key states. This will really be the first state where hispanics will be a serious large number voting bloc. And I believe those individuals are underrepresented in public phone polling. Trump will perform 4-5 points worse and Rubio 4-5 better from the polls. If Rubio is within single digits of Trump in the latest poll, he probably wins.

As for betting, bets on BOTH Rubio and Kasich are bets on what happens at a contested convention, because neither of the is going to reach 1,237. That's why Kasich may be a better bet even if he will likely be 4th in delegate count.

Right. Makes sense. For the most part e has underachieved in caucuses where Cruz's groundwork has been so good. I think he wins Fla big.

Let's talk on March 15/16. I believe strongly you are wrong on this. Remember how Trump was supposedly up by like 20 in Virginia and ended up winning by 2? Florida isn't exactly Virginia, but as compared to a lot of these states, there are more educated voters and hispanics. Trump's beg for Rubio to drop out was a tell. He's scared. He's going to spend a ton of time in FL and end up embarrassed.

Once again, it's all Florida, Florida, Florida.

But the race reset will be (IMO) in the face of Rubio winning Florida, Kasich winning Ohio and probably Cruz winning Missouri. And the talk will be about how this is plunging toward a contested convention. The angling will begin and nobody will drop out.

[d2bets]

Florida:
Trump 47%

Alrighty then. Let's talk on March 15/16.

[DwightShrute]

Alrighty then. Let's talk on March 15/16.

"I will campaign in all 50 states, even if I have to get in my pick-up truck and drive all over this country," Rubio said.



bon voyage puto and good luck driving to Hawaii.

lol you should have a gif, meme badge, you have me rolling just about every day.

That statement about pickup trucks will win Rubio at least 15-20 states.

Trump ain't driving no F150

I think him asking Rubio to drop out was to show he wasn't scared of taking on Cruz 1 on 1. Most of the world thinks that once it gets down to 2 candidates that trump is in trouble.

[mcdonae101]

All he needs to do is win either Florida or Ohio, obviously preferably Florida. I expect him to win one or both. It'll b interesting to see how Michigan goes. Cruz has very little to look forward to since caucuses are pretty much done

This post is really subject to ridicule. Listen Kasich & Cruz disregarded this vote in the bankrupt territory out of hand
and Trump probably didn't even know or care there was a Puerto Rico vote. They all had bigger fish to fry.

Jewbio won't win Florida. The Republicans in Florida hate him there. He isn't a favorite son like Cruz was in Texas, he is hated by the base. He ran a campaign as a hard right constitutionalist and immediately after getting elected turned his back on that group and joined up with the establishment and broke his campaign promise of opposing amnesty. He stabbed the GOP Florida base that elected him in the back.

[frogsrangers]

Guys there are only 3 realistic candidates at this point.

Trump is the only one with a path to 1,237 and the nomination.

No one else can get 1,237.

Therefore the only other 2 realistic candidates are Romney/Ryan, as that is who the GOP will choose at a brokered convention.

[bettilimbroke999]

What is Kasich hoping for exactly...all 3 other candidates dropping dead? I dont get how even in a contested convention they would somehow choose the candidate that should've dropped and has virtually no support? What motivation would they have to throw the election like that?

Well they don't want Trump and they don't want Cruz an Rubio is a complete dipshit.

He's looking to get nominated, as the only reasonable adult, at a contested convention.

How funny would Romney be? End of the party if this happens.

Exactly. He's the only one I could consider supporting after Trump.

[d2bets]

I think the only way at a contested convention is for 2 of Cruz/Rubio/Kasich to get together and decide on P/VP and ideally those 2 votes would exceed Trump's delegates.
