So if Donald Trump proved the political universe wrong and won the Republican presidential nomination, he would be creamed by Hillary Clinton, correct?
A new survey of likely voters...by Washington-based Mercury Analytics...
Nearly 20 percent of likely Democratic voters say they'd cross sides and vote for Trump, while a small number, or 14 percent, of Republicans claim they'd vote for Clinton.

News of the survey reaches Hitlery HQ:
Mercury CEO Ron Howard, a Democrat whose firm works for candidates in both parties and corporate clients, concedes, "We expected Trump's first campaign spot to strongly appeal to Republican Trump supporters, with little impact - or in fact negative impact - on Democratic or independent voters." He continues, "The challenge to Hillary, if Trump is the nominee and pivots to the center in the general election as a problem-solving, independent-minded, successful 'get it done' businessman is that Democrats will no longer be able to count on his personality and outrageous sound bites to disqualify him in the voters' minds."

Trump is the gamechanger
Do you have a link for this ?
Oh my. This can’t be true. Rove says Trump can’t beat Hillary.
>> he would be creamed by Hillary Clinton, correct?
People are SO living in the past.
This is not 2008 or 2012, where pussy republican candidates wanting to be “nice” and “politically correct” ignore the rat’s many, many flaws and weak points, and refuse to attack and only retreat.
The (R) this time (Cruz or Trump) will attack the Bride of Satan like a junkyard dog on an intruder. Ad after ad after powerful ad will slice, dice, and burn that diseased ‘rat dropping and leave her a bleeding, smoking shell. I wouldn’t be surprised to see her drop out.
(And then again, she might be running as an indicted criminal!)
I can’t wait for the general campaign. OR the election. I hope GOD lets me live that long.
“Trumpamentium” is a syllable too many. Trumpium is better...
She has wanted this her whole life. She only leaves the race if she has another stroke (likely) or if she is arrested (long shot) even if her poll numbers sink to Yeb!’s level.
Any estimates of this kind of support issue from prior elections? Comparison may reveal what the GOPe is afraid of.
That’s fine.
Curb-stomping her teeth out on election day will be fun, too.
Trumpium would be if he discovered it. If he is it, just call it Trump.
I think it would be funny if the left throws Biden in at this late date and he takes the nomination away from her.
Like I said, I am very much looking forward to this election! There are LOTS of amusing and satisfying possibilities! :-)
It is dawning on the Dems that this is the only play they have left as a Plan B.
Speaking as devil’s advocate here, the Dems are committing political suicide by sticking with a frail, sickly person who touts her grandmother image. I wouldn’t vote for Hillary if she was the official Republican candidate.
I think the Dems are finally waking up to the fact that Hillary cannot be the nominee.
Your point about political suicide is accurate.
It is going to fun to watch them and their presstitutes turn on a dime soon.
The GOPe never woke up to the complete unelectability of Dole.
And the Democrats went down this road before with McGovern.
Throwing Biden in can save them from Hillary precipitating a Carter/Reagan level landslide loss, but it also back stabs their GOPe globalist partners.
The GOPe needs Democrat crossover voters in the open primaries to try to pump up the chamber of amnesty candidates.
So that’s why the most recent polls have him losing between 8-13% to Hildabeast AND Sanders?
Look. I love that Trump drives the GOPe crazy. That alone is worth it’s weight in gold. But if we think we stand a snowballs chance if we nominate him ESPECIALLY once the Press turns on him (they will), then it will just be another what happened here” election.
While I also think Cruz has a slim chance in the General, I even think he has a better chance.
And, as an aside, who I think can win is often different from who I like and dislike.
We already can see who Trump is.
No 'pivoting' is going to happen, more likely he will double down.
