Donald Trump Is Going to Lose Because He Is Crazy

He might win for the very same reason.

If all politicians who overpromised were crazy, they’d all be in mental institutions. Not a bad idea, really.

So he's spending money to hire staffers around the country for what reason?

Nick, you're beginning to worry me...about your mental health.

Seriously.

Trump's brand--the Trump name--is on the line now. If he bows out or even loses, his brand as a winner is destroyed.

Use your noggin.

We really have to watch this mental hygiene card they are playing and call them out on it every time. Everyone using it now for every little thing our candidates do.

Anyone who isn’t 100% Marxist and fights back is crazy. We got it.

That’s what I am thinking. He is no dumbass and wouldn’t risk destroying the empire he has created.

This coming from people who think Obama is sane.

A Leftist is somebody who is incapable of believing that a good, intelligent, and sane person can have opinions that oppose the Left.

The guy seems incapable of understanding that Trump is popular precisely BECAUSE he is not in bed with the Republican Party elite.

Reagan got the lowest percentage of the minorities in 1984 and won by a huge landslide. Trump only needs about 62% of the white vote to win. A putz like Romney got 59% in 2012 so Trump should easily hit that number.

1984 was over three decades ago. In 2012, illegal aliens didn't vote legally. They will in 2016. And they'll be driven to the polls by the Obama Democrat minions. Yeah, the very same people who say we can't process and deport 11 million, will do an amazing job of processing today's illegals, signing them up and delivering them to the polling places.

Ann Coulter is right: A Republican can kiss the “minority” voters goodbye if he goes for the white voters. As she says: If Romney had gotten 100% of the black vote, he would still have lost. If he had gotten 5% more of the white vote, he would have won.

The 2016 election will be won or lost depending on white voter turnout.

A Republican candidate who can enthuse white voters into SHOWING UP on election day will win, even if he does not get a single black or Hispanic vote.

>>> So this commentator played fast and loose with the truth to make a point.

Consider the crowd the New York magazine is trying to sell to.

Not just the magazine subscribers (do they have that?), but to be circulated and promoted amongst the NY-DC circus talking heads.

Ya know, all the paper used to print all this stuff, would be able to supply a Boston wharf-side fish market, for a month.

He is running, according to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) which is why he is allowed to participate in the Republican debates, accept donations of both hard and soft money, have his name on the ballots for the primaries and caucuses, etc. You wishing it wasn’t so changes nothing. LOL
