I really don’t think there is anyone who would have come after HIllary and Bill the way Trump has done.

Hillary and Bill know that Trump will go for the jugular now.

She thought she was going to have something with her sexist remarks...Look how that has worked out for Bill and her being the enabler. All Trump said is Bill is now fair game and the reasons why. Then the media took the bait...BIG TIME! and Trump can start a new subject for media feeding when he thinks it's the right time.

Bill/Hillary and Trump. Guess who turned out to be the idiots in that picture?

If I were a senior DemocRAT, I would say forget the Presidency, and sauve qui peut throwing all available money to House and Senate races.

She’s going to have a hard time pulling the same support from the blacks that Obama managed too. He had 93% of the black vote in 2008. Hillary will need all of that and there’s no guarantee that she will get it. There are a lot of blacks that like Donald Trump and who don’t particularly care for Bill Clinton. There are also a lot of loosely affiliated white Democrats that aren’t what you would call “party loyalists” that will cross over and I think he can split the independents. Trump can beat Hillary.

I really believe Trump can take New York.

That*s 29 electoral votes which used to be solidly in the Democrap column.

I think he can take Michigan too.

Not California, though.

>>Trump can beat Hillary.

I don’t think Trump will just beat Hillary, if he can shoot down the naysayers and make the her time in the 90’s look bad, he can take a massive amount of votes. The Democrats are where the Republicans were in 2008: depressed due to a near decade of apparent failures.

I’m hoping that you’re right about the black vote - if Trump can get a lot of minorities to vote Republican for the first time, I’d guess half of them will vote Republican again for another candidate. That means the wilderness for the Democrats.

The best thing we can do as conservatives now is to primary our GOPe and encourage Bernie supporters to form a third party as Hillary’s inevitability becomes more and more apparent.

The Democrats recognize their weakness which is why the media is pushing the “Trump is a Racist” meme 24/7. If we can decisively take that argument away from them, we could hurt them like it was 1860 all over again. We need to work with Mr. and Mrs. Black. We need to make them an offer that they can’t refuse and that Hillary can’t counter.

I hope they sauve qui peut back to wherever they came from and don’t never come back.

She’s lower energy than Jeb.

Should be a walk in the park for Trump.

If Hillary & Little Debbie don't realize BLACKS see the disparity in the reporting of Bill Clinton and Bill Cosby as an other example of Social Injustice and White Privilege, they are delusional.

Blacks not voting for Trump will sit out this year, mark my word.

Exactly.

I see folks on here with the old GOPe trope, “We need someone electable in the general.” Like Romney? Like McCain?

Trump scared the heck out of them. He’s polling 25% of the black vote. Large number of Hispanics. WORKING CLASS WHITE VOTERS support Trump.

That’s why there’s 24/7 attacks on Trump. He’s the big threat.

If they really thought Trump was an easy win, they’d back him and not lay a glove on him until after he got the nomination.

Now if Hillary had the ground swell and rally enthusiasm that Trump has, I’d be very worried.

“Now if Hillary had the ground swell and rally enthusiasm that Trump has, I’d be very worried.”

The ‘ground swell’ of the Democrats happens when the dead arise from their graves to cast faithful ballots on Election Day.

They totally own that demographic!

And it’s to late to put someone else in there, they already have met deadlines on primary dates, so that’s out of the question...

I am not sure how they can do it but they will have to. If she gets indited or it becomes apparent (as it is already starting to) that she can't win in the general, I look the the DNC to pull something at the convention.

A brokered deal of some kind where all the candidates agree to give their delegates to some new person. I am sure they have drafted a contingency plan.

I heard on Rush today, a lady said her family would not vote for Trump. I wonder about those people.

Evidently those who won’t vote for Trump, look at the situation in our country, differently than I do.. differently than the Trump voters do.

They must believe we are not too bad off.. and this is just a general normal election coming up in November. They must not notice what has happened over the past 7+ years. They must not have been hit by the dictator in chief’s actions. They must have their heads in the sand.

This is not a normal election and not a normal anything.. I feel like we’ve been hit by a mac truck and drug 10 miles down a gravel road. I feel like we are on a track of no return.. UNLESS we get someone in there who will change directions immediately!

We don’t need a normal candidate to run for President. We need a man with the spine to UNDO this destruction. We need a man who will take all this on and fix it.. fix the destruction that is taking place every day. We need a man who is unnormal, ungeneral, unafraid, unnerved, and unGOP.

For those who don’t think they can trust Trump.. who would you trust? and who would do the “FIXING” and the undoing of all obams’ destruction.. You can’t trust any of the rest of them. You just want to pick and choose a man who doesn’t embarrass you? I don’t care how much Trump embarrasses.. he’s a fighter and at this time, we have to have a fighter.. one who defies all that Washington stands for...and thinks of the PEOPLE!

I hope its Trump/Cruz if Cruz can get behind the constitutionality of state sovereignty. Could be sixteen years of recovery in America.

But political freedom cannot be sustained without personal, individual freedom which is why America has lasted so long. Person, individual freedom is knowing the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. IN GOD (not man and his government) WE TRUST, must once again be the declaration of people all over the land.
