i'm sure that'll be the narrative he tries to sell ("they were plants! Cruz paid them!"), but I doubt it

no way, haven't you been paying attention to his campaign? he'll shrug give a smug smile and say something like "my supporters are passionate" or more likely "i didn't ask them for their support," or something like that. calling them cruz plants would be totally off-brand

This didn't sound right. A reporter friend of a friend wrote, "The total size of the Nevada GOP caucus is about 37,000 people. Nine percent of that is Latino/Hispanic, which means 3330 people. Forty six percent of that is 1531 people. The total Latino/Hispanic population of Nevada, meanwhile, is 373,970. So we're talking 0.4% of all Latino/Hispanic people in Nevada, which statistically speaking, is NONE OF THEM."

But the 1531 people are a sample of the population? Statistically speaking

badg, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 12:35 (eight years ago) link

a sample of the population who happen to be enthusiastic about voting in the Republican caucus

crüt, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 12:39 (eight years ago) link

The sample of the Hispanic people exit polled was likely in the hundreds meaning a huuuuuge margin of sampling error.

Plus Hispanic voters make up like 8 percent of registered Republicans so while it still would have some significance in the GOP nom if Hispanic voters eschewed one of their own for Trump, hardly means much for the Gen Elec.

"Marco Rubio's a nice young man, right?" Trump asked members of the audience. "I can't hit him, he hasn't hit me. No, no, he has not hit me. I'm treating him nicely."

But, Trump warned, "When he hits me, oh is he going to be hit."

Not to be confused with the guy he wanted to punch in the face.

He talks to his supporters like they're his pet pitbulls.

I'm not looking forward to a cruel and unusual president.

It's unfair to assume Cruz was the Zodiac Killer. We have no way of knowing the true face that lies beneath that shapeless, oily mask.

pretty sure first thing prez trump will do is shut down ilx

Keep Planned Parenthood and shut down ILX. Ok, you've got my attention. What else can we do to keep America strong?

"These people, they're not very nice you know ... They say they Love Everything . They love music, they love football, they love this they love that ..,and you know what? They're confuuused. They don't really know what they love. And they're sick ! Oh I don't even wanna tell you some of the horrible horrible things they say. Don't get me started on Ned Raggett ...what kind of a name is that? But like I said, they're just not very nice people and we're going to close them down and shut them up and we're going to make our country great again"

who do these people think they are, trying to tell me what's a classic and what's a dud? Let the American people make up their own minds.

I actually think, I have to make deals with ILX and a lot of these people, they are great people. Terrific people. You know what they say we need to do? You know what they believe in? TAKING SIDES. They take sides. That's what we need to do. That's why we don't win anymore! Everybody says, Donald, you can't say that, you can't take sides, you might offend somebody! Well I'll tell you what, come 2017, that's outta there. We're gonna take the sides, we're gonna take the oil and we're going to win against ISIS, we're gonna win against Radiohead, and we're gonna make America great again.

mookieproof, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 15:36 (eight years ago) link

so apparently 75k people voted in the GOP caucus in Nevada compared to only 12k Dem voters. that's a pretty stark disparity for a "blue" state (per the last two elections), no?

rmde bob (will), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 15:38 (eight years ago) link

Clinton's "wins" are that much less impressive when a few thousand people vote

Where are you seeing 12K? I see 84.

Wonder if the "Trump campaign" part of that is just an assumption or if there's anything to back it up.
