When Trump Beats Hillary
The American Conservative ^ | March 18, 2016, 12:05 AM | By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN •

Posted on 03/20/2016 6:10:13 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Herewith, a second prediction. Republican wailing over his prospective nomination aside, Donald Trump could beat Hillary Clinton like a drum in November.

Indeed, only the fear that Trump can win explains the hysteria in this city. Here is the Washington Post of March 18: “As a moral question it is straightforward. The mission of any responsible Republican should be to block a Trump nomination and election.”

The Orwellian headline over that editorial: “To defend our democracy, the GOP must aim for a brokered convention.” Beautiful. Defending democracy requires Republicans to cancel the democratic decision of the largest voter turnout of any primaries in American history. And this is now a moral imperative for Republicans.

Like the Third World leaders it lectures, the Post celebrates democracy—so long as the voters get it right. Whatever one may think of the Donald, he has exposed not only how far out of touch our political elites are, but how insular is the audience that listens to our media elite.

Understandably, Trump’s rivals were hesitant to take him on, seeing the number he did on “little Marco,” “low energy” Jeb, and “Lyin’ Ted.” But the Big Media—the Post, Wall Street Journal, New York Times—have been relentless and ruthless.

Yet Trump’s strength with voters seemed to grow, pari passu, with the savagery of their attacks. As for National Review, The Weekly Standard and the accredited conservative columnists of the big op-ed pages, their hostility to Trump seems to rise, commensurate with Trump’s rising polls.

Buchanan is smart enough to figure out why Trump is popular. OTOH he could be sent out as a human sacrifice by the PTB to endorse Trump and then start doing David Duke impressions.

The GOPe is trying to tell the American people that they are not smart enough to pick the “right” candidate...They think they should tell everyone who they should vote for...

Got a little news for them...They are shooting themselves down....

1st debate, Trump shows Hillary to be the shrill, dull cow that she really is.

“Donald Trump could beat Hillary Clinton like a drum in November. “

After the hilarious trail of broken politicians and journalists Trump has easily left in his wake, it’s difficult believing Hillary represents any challenge whatsoever.

Good read. Buchanan correctly points out the hypocricy of those who say we have ignore the will of the people to save the democracy. LOL

Something else that is infuriating are the GOP hacks who insist that Trump will get clobbered in the fall...and then do everything they can to make sure their prophecy is self-fulfilled with relentless attacks on Trump and promising to vote 3rd party or even for Shrillary.

If these idiots are so certain that Trump is doomed, why do they bother?

Ever hear of Sheer-Thickening Fluid..?

It’s a kind of milky nano-goo: slowly dip your finger in, and it’s a liquid. Quickly stab an ice-pick into it, though, and it INSTANTLY hardens up like steel, blunting the pick.

They will use it for new armor, and Trump is sorta like that; the attacks MAKE HIM STRONGER.

Yeah, I do think that one of the dirt-heads might try something very desperate.

A lot of those kooks consider some form of IDEALISM, they don’t feel bad about it at all cuz we’re EVIL, not just mistaken, so ALL MEASURES are absolutely justified. We’re sort of like child-molesters to them, I guess.

Trump would be nuts to soften to it —just witness how far Bush got with his much-ballyooed “NEW TONE”.

Naw, it’s like a big wave coming at you, you just have to turn straight into it, and maybe even hit the gas.

He should bat her .
Legally.
Just exactly like Oboma’s Koran requires a man beats a woman, right? ....

Sorry to be the messenger of bad news, my FRiends.

Mister (Lifelong Dem, 9/11 Truther, Planned Parenthood supporter and patron, socialized medicine afficinado-turned-GOP Terminator trump (running most likely as a whining disenfranchised victim Indie after not reaching the minimum number of delegates; or hey, even the GOP nom) would get 0.0 (zero) electoral votes against Hillary.

Just like his predecessor, ross perot v bill.

trump is in it to lose it, and he will likely succeed.

trump = perot = trump = perot.

trump doesn't do his homework, he is typically ill-prepared and he is anything but articulate.

This I can tell you, very, very, very, very much.

Going to be tough to beat Hillary, especially if Trump is the nominee. Hispanics will band together like never before and come out in droves to stop Trump. Also, the guilty white liberals will come out in large numbers too. Going to be near impossible. This is not the same country that elected Reagan anymore.

There have been some. He has a lot less ground to make up than Reagan did in 1980.
