To Democrats, Trump isn’t top threat

MINNEAPOLIS — The Republican that Democrats fear most isn’t Donald Trump. It’s Jeb Bush, with John Kasich coming on fast.

Ask members of the Democratic National Committee whom they least want to face in the 2016 presidential election, and they often joke how they hope Trump stays hot.

“We are all Trump supporters,” Glen Maxey, a DNC member from Texas, said with a laugh. The DNC ended its three-day summer meeting Saturday, and members see Trump’s high negatives and penchant for controversy as lethal in a general election.

The insiders most respect those who have succeeded politically, and Trump has never won public office. That’s why Democrats often name as their most difficult foes Bush, a former governor of Florida and part of a family that’s won three presidential elections, and Kasich, second-term governor of a key swing state, Ohio.

Demos and media said the same about McCain. Clearly, they don’t want to face Trump.

Not only said this about McCain but Romney as well. Really pi**es them off that they can’t anoint the next sacrificial Rino loser Bush.

As it turned out McCain was the most beatable Republican Obama could have faced.

A Jeb/Kasich ticket? Yeah, that'll solve all the problems the US faces.

In the real world of us little folk, I'm wondering how Trump/Jindal would play. Cruz could do a lot of good staying in the US Senate, working with Jeff Sessions and a small handful of others to clean up that cesspool.

Why should we care about the judgement of a group of people that would vote for Hitlary?

Then the demos get to vote in the open primary states to assure they pick a republican loser.

We don’t care but it is funny how they think anybody will fall for this.

They want republicans to spend all their campaign cash fighting with Trump, and then hope the Trump enthusiasm will fizzle out. Also, Trump is a perfect target for all the Dem talking points.

We heard this in 2008. "We don't want to face John McCain," the Democrats would plead, "Anybody but John McCain!"

It was the same act with the Mittster in 2012.

Both McCain and Romney ran non-offensive "I will cross the aisle" campaigns and were both easily crushed.

Time for a fighter. Trump and Cruz are the men they truly fear.
