Trump isn’t Goldwater.
Goldwater wrote the book on how to be the designated loser.
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...
Yeah, that will work great.
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!
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.
If the best Hillary can do is go back in time 52 years in an attempt to dredge up some supposed conservative bugaboo to use against Trump, she doesn’t stand a chance. For anybody not already old enough to collect social security a mention of Barry Goldwater is going elicit a response of, “Huh? Who is that? Was he in a band?” Not to mention that in 1964 the nation was in the hottest part of the Cold War with nuclear war a real threat, today the mention of nuclear war gets little more than a yawn or shrug...
I think Hilary will be out of the running, and sooner rather than later. (When’s their convention?). I think the Dems will run Biden + Faucahontas as the ‘sane grown-ups.’ They’ve been keeping the lid on Biden so no one will remember the idiotic things he has said. The Dems will be thrilled to have someone to vote for who looks ‘normal’ and Obama will be thrilled to have a puppet in the office for another 8.
Hillary Clinton got her start in politics as a “Goldwater Girl” in 1964.
Ironic, ain’t it?
I actually remember the “daisy” ad. I had just turned 5. It aired on a Sunday night (as I recall) and I never saw it again. But I clearly remember seeing it. An astonishing thing, the human mind.
She is old, old-school, and uses old ideas and tactics. No one has ever faced the likes of a Donald Trump who has rendered all traditional campaigning and "political logic" moot. She will have no clue what hit her. Trump will have to tell her to "put some ice on that" when he's done.
I am so sick of the non-GOPe candidate X as Goldwater meme. Goldwater, Bob Water, Tom Water, whoever Water was losing that election in 1964. Who the hell was going to beat the ghost of a martyred President!?! Who was going to beat that ghost and one of the dirtiest bastards in American political history?
If anything, it is Trump as Johnson in this one. This guy is going to go for the jugular each and every time it is exposed.
