Could any of the other 16 Republican's have defeated Hillary?

Posted on 11/28/2016 3:21:02 PM PST by MNDude

Now that the election is in the past, and we now have the insight of looking back, do you think any of the other Republican candidates running for congress could have won the general election against Hillary?

If so, which other candidate(s) do you think also would have defeated Hillary, and which important swing states that Trump won or lost do you think they would pick up?

Election night flashback:

In case I wasn’t clear enough from my previous tweets:

Hillary Clinton will be the next President of the United States.

I hope Fox News bans that moron Frank Luntz.... but I know it won’t happen. Well, at least his reputation is in the toilet!

If the consultants had let Scott Walker be Scott Walker he might have a slim chance against Clinton, but Trump was the only person who could go head to head with Clinton and win.

if you listen to liberals on who is a good republican candidate that they like. You end up with some one they like and won’t vote for because he is republican. the same goes for conservatives if I were to mention who I like as a democrat they would end up with a democrat I like and both of us would never vote for him.

who ever thought that listening to some one with apposing views on naming a candidate for president was a good idea is smoking something illegal.

Yes. Ted Cruz would've defeated Hillary, as well.

An unpopular opinion, I know. But I'm comfortable with it.

Although, the dismal 16 won the boogie prize.

Little Marco ???? Don’t think so ...
Trump rose to the occassion,for such a time as this, no one else could take the heat and dish it out, not worried about his own political career

Sweet and simple, NO..No conservative or republican would have co-oped the D playbook and put it in their face except Trump. Whether Trump won or lost, the political landscape is now changed.

I actually think Luntz is pretty smart. His flaw is that he obviously has too much faith in his polling data, but then you can say the same thing about almost anyone in the media.

If you want to see him at his best, just watch him AFTER the election results are known. I though his analysis of the 2016 election the following morning -- when he freely admitted that his predictions were wrong -- was a very good assessment of what the voters were thinking when they sent Trump to the White House.

No. they couldn’t beat Trump, who played relatively fair. How could they possibly beat Hillary, who cheated at every opportunity.

Ah. Sweet memories.

Trump crushed them all like the midgets they are.

Have not heard much out of Luntz since the election.

But what will Cruz and the rest of the republicans do next time? Will they be more in your face or be too polite they are almost guaranteed to lose?

Nobody would have been able to work as hard as Trump to win the election. They will all be listening to consultants on how to not make Hillary, democrats and the media mad.

Let’s dispel with the notion that Rubio is eligible. Or Cruz.
