Trump on Kasich: "I have never seen a human being eat in such a disgusting fashion... Takes a pancake and he's shoving it in his mouth."

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

That was my first thought when I saw the diner video, not even joking. I mean, I was literally thinking how I could never run for President because I would eat too weird just like Kasich. No one wants to see that. It's gross.

jfern: Hillary's campaign is more negative than Trump's because she talks about Sanders voting against the Brady Bill.

[ProudModerate2]

Little-Hands-Drumpf-Fuhrer has no room to be calling others "Disgusting."
trump is the worst. Remember .....
As seen over New Year's Day Rose Parade in Pasadena, California.
Skywriting spells out "TRUMP IS DISGUSTING" ....

[Dr. Arch]

What the heck with the GOP primary, LOL.

[Fargobison]

Can't wait until the media is gushing over how "presidential" Trump has become tomorrow. Then he will be back to doing stuff like this again on Wednesday.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

This begs for a real life Irony Ore Mine.

[Lyin' Steve]

I can't stop laughing.  This is seriously his response.

[standwrand]

but he's totally fine eating his pizza like this:

[Maxwell]

but he's totally fine eating his pizza like this:

Hey man there's cheese in that crust.

[Senator Cris]

Lol.

[Holmes]

There's a reason Hillary doesn't eat in front of the media.

but he's totally fine eating his pizza like this:

I like eating pizza this way. Saves the best part for last.

nah man, he called kasich a disgusting human beïng

[Beezer]

Kasich's table manners are a MESS!

[RFayette 🇻🇦]

Only Northeasterners seem to care about this kind of dumb stuff.  Whatever.

I supported Kasich as The Donald's Vice President. But not any longer! It's disgusting how the establishment guys ignore millions of voters. Hope that whole thing backfires and TRUMP crushes Kasich and Cruz on Tuesday as well as in Indiana.

Millions of votes?

not _trump: 13.7m
_trump: 8.5m

That's a margin of more than 5 million votes in favor of #Never_trump. Any convention that nominates _trump would be a travesty to democracy.

Once again, that's not how this work. Millions of people would have Trump as their second choice as indicated by all national polling that show Trump leading head-to-head nationally, often times by double digits.

TRUMP is right!

I'm sensing sarcasm.

Rugby, be lucky nominating Mr. No Trump as the actual winner of primaries

That's only the case in the Northeast, though. Outside of it, the indication of both polling and strategic voting is that _trump is the last choice of the overwhelming majority of anti-_trump voters.

_trump would've lost a head-to-head with any 2016 candidate except Jeb Bush.

Too bad Trump, Not (R) isn't on any ballot.

Yes, that explains why the last three national polls in our database show:

NBC: Trump 46. Cruz and Kasich combined 47
Morning Consult: Trump 46. Cruz and Kasich combined 39
Suffolk: Trump 45. Cruz and Kasich combined 46.

You cannot say with a straight face that Trump is not up on both head-to-head nationally. That is just another lie from the campaign of Lyin' Ted. Many Kasich voters would surely vote for Trump and even more would stay home when faced with a choice between those two. Trump would have an outright majority

[Vosem]

You're cherrypicking polls. The current average has _trump at 43 and his opponents put together at 51, and it is close to his all-time high (which he hit in late March, when it was 43-49). National head-to-head polls haven't been conducted in a while (maybe not even post-Iowa at all), but when they were it was clear that _trump could beat only Jeb Bush.

You're right that many (probably most) Kasich supporters would stay home, but the pattern in every state where Kasich was a secondary anti-_trump to Cruz demonstrates that, outside of the Northeast, the preference sequence Kasich-_trump-Cruz is essentially nonexistent, while Kasich-Cruz-_trump is fairly common (especially among my age bracket). In Wisconsin, early polling had Kasich in the mid-20s before he dropped to 14, which was basically correlated with Cruz's increase. _trump failed to get anything at all from Kasich's decline.

If Kasich were to drop out after the 4/26 primaries, _trump would be doomed in every remaining state except NJ and WV.

Those are literally the last three polls conducted according to our polling page.

You want late March? When Trump was at his worst? Here's PPP on 3/29:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

At his worst, he led Cruz.

Looking for pre-Iowa figures, but as I recall, he only trailed Carson until he slayed Carson and then either Rubio or Cruz has a slight advantage which eventually subsided almost immediately. The other was trailing. You are rewriting history.

e: According to WSJ, it was Cruz leading Trump 51-43 (which as I have shown has become Trump leading within MoE) while Trump led Rubio 52-45. January 14th.

Can you even read English? I said late March was _trump's peak. Because, in national polling, it was -- he was at 43 (same as now, actually), but Cruz and Kasich were both weaker than they are now, with undecideds higher. Then he declined during the Wisconsin campaign period, then he gained again when campaigning shifted to his turf in the Northeast. Soon he'll decline again once the campaign shifts to Indiana, Nebraska, and the Pacific Northwest.

Carson probably led _trump by the greatest numbers because he very consistently (except for when he was falling apart in November) had the best favorability of anyone in the field. But only Bush was actually losing to _trump.
