Insiders: Clinton would crush Trump in November
Politico ^ | April 29, 2016 | Katie Glueck

In the swing states that matter most in the presidential race, Donald Trump doesn’t have a prayer against Hillary Clinton in the general election.

That's according to top operatives, strategists and activists in 10 battleground states who participated in this week's POLITICO Caucus. Nearly 90 percent of them said Clinton would defeat Trump in their home states in a November match-up.

Republicans are only slightly more bullish on Trump’s prospects than Democrats: More than three-quarters of GOP insiders expect Clinton to best the Republican front-runner in a general-election contest in their respective states. Among Democrats, the belief is nearly universal: 99 percent of surveyed said will Clinton will beat Trump.

In three of the biggest swing states—Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida—Republicans were particularly downbeat about the prospect of a Trump-Clinton contest.

Well then I guess she must be pleased as punch that she’s going to be facing Trump, instead of rocket scientist Jeb Bush.

Why doesn’t she come on out and do a press conference, act all presidential, congratulate Trump on what looks like the inevitability of his being her opponent, and throw in a few jabs that demonstrate just exactly how easy it’s going to be for her to “crush” him.

First off, Trump wins Florida. Clinton wins Pennsylvania and Ohio is as always the state Republicans must win to capture the White House.

And that my friends is why Kacish is still in the race.

If it’s true (I don’t believe it for a second) - but, if it’s true, we really need to know - so we can give up the illusion of politics and get on with something more substantial.

Good. That’s the sure way to get a loss. They will never see it coming. Trump will appeal to real voters not operatives

Are these the same insiders that said Trump would be finished by last December?

Trump beat Cankles by 35,000 votes in the OH primary, and came in a distant second to Kasich.
