So what you're saying here is that Trump is running to win the nomination but lose the general election. How so? Because a Republican NEVER wins the White House by killing off the other Republicans. They can win the primary that way, but it won't end up in the Oval.
Republicans only win the White House when the focus of their PRIMARY campaign is the Democrats. Period. And there is one candidate who is more or less sticking to that tactic, and he's surging.
Either way, this is a guaranteed loser in the General to do it this way.
“Because a Republican NEVER wins the White House by killing off the other Republicans. They can win the primary that way, but it won’t end up in the Oval.”
Stop buying into the GOPe hysteria. Of course Trump can and will win the general election. He is everything the GOPe has been hoping for, a candidate with broad appeal across party lines. He wins in every demographic. He’s the big tent guy. He will roll over Hillary Clinton like she’s not there.
There is a reason why Ted Cruz is polling nationally at 13%-18%. Killing off Cruz who most republicans don’t want anyway is going to have zero effect on republican turnout.
