Surprisingly Donald is doing very well in delegate count. Romney only had 10 delegates from the three states in 2012. He actually had 33 delegates from the same three states in 2008.

67 Donald Trump
11 Ted Cruz
10 Marco Rubio
5 John Kasich
3 Ben Carson
4 Jeb Bush

Quote: Republican Primaries in 2012
Iowa
Mitt Romney 1
Ron Paul 21
Unprojected delegates: 6
Iowa's delegates are not bound to vote for a nominee based on the results of the caucuses, Paul supporters were able to exert a substantial influence on the delegate race by mastering Iowa's arcane election rules and winning key positions on state election committees.

New Hampshire
Mitt Romney 7
Ron Paul 3
Jon Huntsman 2
NH was penalized with the loss of half its delegates, from 23 voting delegates to only 12.

South Carolina
Newt Gingrich 23
Mitt Romney 2

Nevada
Mitt Romney 20
Ron Paul 8

Quote: Republican Primaries in 2008
Iowa
0 McCain
7 Romney
30 Huckabee

New Hampshire
12 Mcain
7 Romney
4 Huckabee
1 Paul

South Carolina
0 Mcain
19 Romney
5 Huckabee
0 Paul

Nevada
4 Mcain
17 Romney
3 Huckabee
4 Paul

Hillary's camp says they're 'thrilled' that
Trump is winning, he'll be 'easy' to beat,
they say.

In actuality they're scared to death of him.
There is nothing in the Clinton past that
Trump is shy about going after, including
Bill's bimbo's. It wasn't Hillary, but her and
Bill are joined in every possible way, so
anything that smears Bill also smears her.
I can't think of any candidate that has more
skeletons in the closet than Hill and Bill.
It's a deep closet.

And the enthusiasm gap is very real this
year. Voting is up 50%-70% for the Repubs,
and down 35% for the Dems. That's a huge
difference. Nobody likes Hillary, she can pack
a 75 seat room, while Trump packs 20,000
seat stadiums.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Hillary has much to be worried about. Enthusiasm gap for one, and it gets worse because people under 35 are just not liking her. Meanwhile her campaign is virtually insulting white people. The email scandal is still out there. Economy slowing.
The President is a fink.

Trump has 69.8% of the delegates, and the following percentage of the popular votes (followed by position)
24% Iowa -2nd
35% New Hampshire -1st
33% South Carolina -1st

It's starting to look like Kasich and Carson are just going to give more delegates to Trump by coming under the inclusion threshold on Super Tuesday.

I don't know how accurate it is, but I heard very little money has been spent on countering Trump in ads, so far, comparative to being at the front of the pack much of time.

I don't think the Democrats will make that mistake.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

I just saw Hillary speaking somewhere.
I'm sorry, the woman is frightening
looking. She has these beady little
wild eyes set in a way too big old
wrinkled face. Who can look at her
and hear that shrill voice and think,
yeah, I want to see that on the news
every day for the next 4 years. Even
if I was a Dem I couldn't see myself
voting for her. Like one guy said, she
reminds every man of the wife
he divorced. That ain't good.

Older women and blacks are her only reliable support, she is losing everything else.

Trump still not beating Hillary.

The key is energy. Trump has it and ooozes it. Hilary has none and when she tries to oooze it all she does is come off as screaming.

Add in an indictment and she is very flawed indeed.

Remember, Trump was supposed to be gone and Hillary been handed it by now based on early polls.

The polls are skewed.

If Romney's overwhelming victory over Obama in 2012 didn't show that the liberal media manipulates... Oh, wait.
Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER
