"Negative Numbers" Are BS
A lot is made of the “fact” that Trump has a high “negative
number.” Why then, is he winning so many primaries? Primaries that
have not yet been usurped by the Republican establishment, that is.
Abraham Lincoln had high negatives, but he ended up in the Oval
Office. Many other presidents had “high negative numbers,” too.
They never talk about the POSITIVE numbers, as if they did not count.
Actually, the only “numbers” that count are the numbers of VOTERS
who cast their VOTES for a given candidate. And Trump seems to have
gotten a majority of those, so far. This does not mean I am a Trump
supporter. Nor does it mean I am an ANTI-Trumper. I'm merely
reporting the facts. Making such a big thing out of his negative
numbers is an effort to stop him from getting votes, by EMPHASIZING
those negative numbers. It ain't gonna work. I personally think he
will not only get to the convention with the required number of
delegates, but he will EXCEED that number. Even if he doesn't, he
will win handily on a subsequent vote. (Wall Street Journal)
