    30-45 percent of voters in a Republican primary hardly constitutes a majority of anything.

    Yet if the dems had those numbers the supporters would be screaming majority.
    Ummm we won the last two Presidential elections.... Not a math expert, but pretty sure that's a MAJORITY.

    I just mean that no matter what numbers the bad guys have they will always be knocked.
    Any numbers the dems get it is celebrated.
    Maybe. My point was only that no number less than 51% can be considered a majority. He hasn't hit that yet. The majority of Republicans so far are voting for candidates other than Trump.

    If the majority of Republicans are voting for candidates other than him, then how is he winning the MAJORITY of the GOP primaries and caucuses?

    This brings it full circle why people should vote.
    He is winning from the majority of actual voters not necessarily from the majority of repubs.
    Get off your asses people and vote this year.

    Because there are more than two candidates running. Trump isn't getting a majority of the Republican vote. He is getting the most Republican votes. Those are two different things.

    Trump has finally become dangerous.

    How has he become dangerous?
    He has been saying the same things since he began running.
    Didn't you watch the video? My comment was in the context of the rest of my post. He is dangeeous now because his actions are now directly leading to violence.

    Just play the video I posted - it's only the first few minutes at the beginning.

    Jesus, don't comment if you aren't even absorbing the post.

    My latest prediction: Trump looses hugely in the biggest landslide ever with the lowest voter turnout ever. America goes home and scratches it's collective heads because we don't know what else to do when when are dumb struck by how badly a large number (but not large percent) of our population were duped and how poorly they acted toward one another. The racists, fundamentalists, neo-nazis and other hate groups will all retreat into their corners and wring their hands in aimless anger. Meanwhile, the youth of America step back and call nonsense on the whole freak show and start implementing some big changes in the American mindset.

    HAHA good one... scared of alternative viewpoints.that's cute....
    Liberalism and Progressives espouse a wide array of views. Liberals disagree with each other all the time. Conservatives seem to never disagree with any right wing talking points.

    But you have every right to have to those beliefs, even if they are wrong... yes wrong... period..

    My question is, when will Conservatives support something that is actually looked at as a positive in history books?

    Conservatives opposed the American Revolution
    Conservatives opposed freeing the slaves
    Conservatives opposed women’s suffrage
    Conservatives opposed minimum wage and child labor laws, the 8-hour work day, weekends, sick leave… etc.
    Conservatives opposed humane treatment of animals
    Conservatives opposed FDR's New Deal
    Conservatives opposed the Social Security Act
    Conservatives opposed the GI Bill
    Conservatives opposed the Farm Act
    Conservatives opposed the Interstate Highway System
    Conservatives opposed clean air and water
    Conservatives opposed the Civil Right’s Act
    Conservatives opposed Medicare
    Conservatives opposed Equal Protection Under the Law
    Opposed Desegregation, Interracial marriage, The Voting Rights Act, Women’s rights, Same-sex marriage...

    That’s quite the list of ignorance, bigotry and racism.

    I would argue Republicans have much bigger differences in opinions amongst their constituents than Democrats. Look at the Democratic race. It was Hilary and no one else for the longest time. That means there are little in the way of ideas to disagree on. Republican candidates have:

    Trump - fringe right
    Kasich - establishment
    Rubio - no one liked him
    Cruz - evangelicals

    Conservatives can be socially liberal and fiscal conservatives, can be religious or not, can be pro-gun or not, can be pro-death penalty or not, can be pro-war or anti-war, etc..... Liberals are the ones who pretty much you can guess whatever view they will have on any subject.

    I agree Trump loses handily and that many Republicans stay home and do not vote.

    Except the turnout models don't agree with you.

    And Romney's internal polling said he would win in 2012. He didn't.

    It probably just another anti-trump video, there are tonnes of them.
    Not interested. Why do you think he has become dangerous?

    I don't think there are any models that can accurately predict what turnout for Trump will look like in the fall.
