This reminds me of when Cruz told Trump he couldn’t beat Hillary. Trump: “If I can’t beat her then you’re really going to get killed!”. Classic. Ted just gulped and smiled.

Still on your anti-trump tirades, eh? At least you have toned it down some.

Charlie Cook is one of those bright minds who wrote that Trump had no chance of winning the nomination.

Hillary represents wall street and Bernie supporters are socialists. Anybody who doesn’t see a problem there for her is either delusional or a dumbass like Charlie Cook.

I don’t see 2DV being anti-Trump here.

I did. It paints a dismally tight race.

Maybe. I can make similar assumptions that indicate a Trump landslide. Historically my assumptions have fallen flat. But I feel (or hope) the anti-establishment and anti-hillary attitude will come through this time. The Trump and Bernie primaries seem to support optimism (for my goal of Trump, not Kristol’s goal of Hillary)

Cook is very smart when his personal choice is winning.
Otherwise he’s like Nate Silver, giving a million excuses to explain away what is happening before their very eyes.

I see it. Charlie Cook is a deranged Nevertrumper. He actually wrote that the Hillarybot Chuck Todd is “al­ways-pres­ci­ent”.

Chuck Todd is one of the dumbest people on television. His simulations about the GOP nomination concluded that Trump had no path to getting the delegates and that a contested convention was a done deal.

The article does not cover motivation and enthusiasm and voter turnout. We have seen lots of enthusiasm for Trump which can mean a higher than usual voter turn out.

We can think of nearly 200 people. Only one has indicated a willingness ( not a desire, he’s just considering it is all) to vote for Hillary. By contrast, Trump ( and Bernie) enjoy great support — plus a number of Bernie people say they’ll definitely vote for Trump before they’ll ever vote for Hillary the Corruptoidess We do not see Hillary as having a chance in Hell of beating Trumo
