The Republican Nomination For President: The Race For The Race For The White House

Glad I could help you finally get one right

I agree that he 'll endorse Romney.
Like Romney, Trump has never been a conservative.

That endorsement shud be good for Newt.
It goes well together with Mitt not caring about the poor. I like it.

Yep, let's hope this helps Newt.

To me,
it seems unlikely that any voter
will decide: "I 'll vote for Romney because The Donald told me to."

The Media is incented to keep the primary race alive.

First and foremost it is economics. A hot race stimulates viewership which raises ratings and justifies high priced ad slots.

Secondly, the pundits and reporters love this stuff. The hotter the race, the more enjoyable their jobs.

Finally, the Media leans heavily left and they love to see Republicans tear at one another. It's doing their bit in the war for Four More Years.

so hows that workin for you?

I'm sure!

Good for him!

Not sure what you are asking, but I don't mind seeing the contest continue. I think too much is made about damage inflicted on the eventual nominee during hotly contested.

I fully expect Romney to prevail.

Liberals were never going to vote for him so whether or not they sense he's been damaged is utterly irrelevant.

There will be enough time between the end of the primaries and the general election for him to rehabilitate himself with the majority of independents who are leaning right.

No matter how ugly it gets the vast majority of Gingrich supporters hate Obama
a whole lot more than they can ever hate Romney, and will not stay home in November.

There is some validity as well to the notion that an ugly primary campaign helped inoculate the ultimate winner.

One thing I've learned over the years is to not give a fig for the analysis of the great majority of political pundits. No one brings their prior comments and predictions up on screen during an interview, but they are all prime gotcha targets. Most of them are slaves to conventional wisdom, and ultimately will say anything to keep the interest alive.

Reminds me of the nonsense sportscasters spout during a clearly one sided game.

Romney's favorability ratings have plummeted during this fight - and Obama's have risen, and his poll numbers vs. Romney have risen as well; so, there's at least some evidence that damage is done.

Obama's ratings continue to slide

And that's a fact!

Virtually every major news outlet assumed Trump would endorse Gingrich. The Grudge Report, though, had it right.

I doubt this has much of a plus for Romney, but it signals Trump's notion of running as a third party candidate is out the window if it ever was serious.

If you think The Donald can pick winners, this a good sign for Mitt. Trump never backs anyone he thinks will lose. He's also betting Obama will lose.

If this primary campaign has proven anything, it's that snapshot polls are meaningless unless they are taken within 48 hours of the election.

Enjoy this one while you have it.

Doesn't matter what he thinks about Obama losing. The trend has been showing that Obama beats "all" of the conservatives running.

So, you believe Donald has any weight in national elections?

How do you think all those participating in OWS is going to vote? One guess.

Snapshot polls? You are kidding yourself, Finn. Multiple polls in January which all show the same thing - Mitt's ratings dropping nationwide and particularly amongst independents - are not 'snapshots.'

I know you're not capable of actually expressing worry about him as a candidate (it would bust up your faux-confident facade), so I won't ask you to do anything else. I'll just sit back and watch things continue to get worse for him.

I'll also point out that Obama is crushing Mitt in fundraising, and from something like 100 times as many donors. The vast majority of Mitt's money has come from just a handful of rich folks. That's always a great sign for a candidate! Right?

Violence in the streets? Who will become violent? Republicans?
