I understand your question and i think in a vacuum the answer is none but turn that question around and ask it of Hillary. Whomever the candidate is on the right shes simply not as popular as Obama. Also while we may not like Obama we still have to recognize others do like him. Shes just not anywhere near as well liked.
Bernie has been pretty soft on her for the most part. Either Trump or Cruz will be much harder on her.
I agree. I actually voted Cruz in Ohio and am not unhappy that I did. I would certainly vote for him or Trump in the General. That being said, I honestly believe that Trump will energize the white vote. Both male and female in fly over country. He captures Ohio, Florida, Virginia and puts Michigan, Pennsylvania, Iowa and possibly even a serious bid for a couple East Coast states.
Regardless, the giant push for Latino votes is deceptive. If Romney got 70% of the Latino vote in 2012, HE STILL LOSES! If he had gotten only 3% more of the white vote, HE WINS and he does so easily. We are still a vastly WHITE country. When you add in the ‘White Latino’ vote, Most Latinos are white European ancestry, much like white Americans, it is even a more white country.
Trump has the uncanny ability to draw disaffected working white voters as well as white voters who haven’t voted in years. Look at the raw number of NEW Republican voters in these states that have voted. It is unbelievable.
He’d also appeals to black Americans who have been short shifted by the Democrats in favor of ILLEGALS. They darn well know that the Democrats are all too comfortable with their vote and take them for granted. A simple shift of 10% of the black vote to the Republicans and the Democrats can not mathematically win the Presidency.
I am certainly not worried about Trump being a disaster as president, he will certainly not be perfect, but after the last four presidents, particularly Obama, marginally competent will make him look like the greatest thing since sliced bread.
