The Unfavorability Illusion
Scott Adams' Blog ^ | April 26th, 2016 @ 9:58am | Scott Adams

Now let’s talk about Trump’s sky-high unfavorability rating that hovers around 70%. Trump haters use that figure as their last hope. No one can get elected with such high negatives, they say.

That is cognitive dissonance. And it is one of the cleanest examples you will ever see. I’ll tell you why.

...

When the race gets down to a clean Trump versus Clinton contest, and people realize there are no other options, the comparison changes. Trump wins the matchup against “crooked Hillary” with ease, based on skill, not policies. You haven’t even imagined that contest yet. Your brain won’t let you.

Trump does NOT win against your imaginary unicorn candidate that is a conflation of good qualities from other people. But that unicorn won’t be running against him.

You’re already hearing the word “landslide” applied to the upcoming Republican primaries. By October you will hear that Trump is “running unopposed” for all practical purposes.

As to the Maain Thing, Trump is less likely by far than Hitlery to become a lamb in the Islamoslaughter house as Hitlery was over Benghazi. He might also bring Marine Corps General Mad Dog Mathis out of his recent retirement, make him Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and listen to him. Hitlery would give that job to Mary who used to have a little lamb.

Your secondary concern is certainly well-expressed and all too possible.

Your admitting to being nothing more than a stalking horse for Hillary and that deserves only disdain. With people like you so firmly in the establishment camp its no wonder they lose so many elections.

We were told these were “strong conservatives”; Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney. Define that, please.
