Trump isn’t Goldwater.
Goldwater wrote the book on how to be the designated loser.
“Trump isn’t Goldwater.”
We know that. The point of the article is that THEY will try to make Trump seem like Goldwater with fear mongering.
Here’s why Hillary Loses:
1) Obama recession and she represents a continuation of Obama
2) People are saying they are mad at Government and she represents a government insider
3) She is crooked and untrustworthy
4) No accomplishments, no passion,
5) She has never been challenged and she is going to get one heck of an ongoing direct challenge from Trump.
she had very little authority or even influence in foreign affairs.
If that is true then wouldn’t all those donations (bribes) to the Clinton Fraudation from foreign entities have been wasted?
Not a chance.
Hillary lives in a 100% glass house. She’s too vulnerable, and Trump will not pull any punches - you can be sure of that.
There’s only one way for her to win - she has to run on “I’m a woman and it’s time for a woman!” I can just hear that screeching voice now...
Regardless of the Goldwater history and the little girl nuke ads (IIRC), Hillary - if she attempts the “I’m the sane, responsible one who can react responsibly...blah blah”, all Trump has to do is to create a timeline of that night when Benghazi happened, where SHE was, what SHE did, where Obama was, what OBAMA did and say “3AM my ass.”
Yeah, that will work great.
All of those points except (1) and (5) were true of Lyndon Johnson back in ‘68.
With respect to (1), The US wasn’t in a recession in ‘68 (one started in ‘69).
As far as (5) goes, Johnson folded and went home when a real challenge became a possibility. I don’t think Hillary’s smart enough to do that.
Yup! Very good!
Grifters and cons are good at separating money from their owners.
The only president to ever drop a nuclear bomb was a Democrat. He dropped two of them.
The 64’election was a sympathy vote for Kennedy. To show how bad a candidate lbj was he did not even run in 68 after all of the “legislative success” he’d had.
Ha good luck wid dat
Loose Cannon indeed, and perhaps a good attribute
At the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 Admiral Lord Nelson devised a tactical device that enabled him with only 27 ships (and smaller) to defeat the 33 larger ships of the Spanish Armada.
As well as his ships being more maneuverable...his cannons, being smaller were more easily aimed for best effect.
Hillary will lose.
The scenario that worries me is, she’s indicted or drops our for health reasons and Biden-Warren is put up in her place, pulling the D party together including the Bernie wing.
However, Trump would have a heyday with those two!
Number 6: Screeching! Who wants to listen to that for the next 4-8 years?
This will NOT be an easy election to win... and Trump's loose cannon mouth is by far the biggest obstacle to overcome before he can even start taking on those juggernauts. We have a long way to go and a short time to get there, and recognizing that the candidate himself has some huge issues to deal with first is priority one, and yet many here still cannot muster the intellectual honesty required to make this small, important, and obvious admission.
I’m starting to believe Trump will be the next President. Out job as conservatives is to influence him in any way possible towards small gov’t free market positions.
“The only president to ever drop a nuclear bomb was a Democrat. He dropped two of them.”
Not only that, the number of US soldier deaths under democrats is vastly more than under republicans.
On this link is a great little meme showing the deaths of each war ...Iraq to WWI.
