Larry Sabato on Cruz and Trump: "Trump Almost Unelectable" (Fox Video)
Politibrew ^ | 12/10/2015 | Brew

Posted on 12/10/2015 4:14:55 PM PST by conservativejoy

12-10-15 1:32 PM EST: This was a very interesting exchange between Larry Sabato and Jon Scott of Fox News, and I think you all know who Larry Sabato is.

Sabato is impressd by much of what Trump has been to pull off politically, but seems to be placing his bets on Ted Cruz. What do you think of what Sabato says here?

Note: The polls listed within this are at least a couple of days old and then some. It remains to be seen what the media coverage of Trump's latest "ban Muslims for a while" thingamasay does to him. We'll see just how effective or ineffective that media still is, at least among contrarian GOP primary voters.

Hmm ALMOST unelectable....hmm.

Is that better or worse than McCain and Romney? Because they were actually unelectable.

Sabato and others in the MSM always disclose who they fear most - this time Donald Trump - by saying they are not electable.

Trump is mighty electable and he smashed the whole field in the OANN poll. 42%

Cruz second at 16%.

I think the political “experts” are trying to fit this election into previous models and this one is entirely unique.

Trump does not need outside money to run his campaign. Cruz does unless he hangs his hat with Trump.

Sabato has a good rep when it comes to predicting pres elections. Interesting that he would say that.

I think you all know who Larry Sabato is.

Actually, no, we "all" don't know who/what he is. Had to look him up. Pol-Sci prof at UVa, i.e. policy wonk who has probably become a media personality.

IOW, I don't give a hoot what he says.

Larry the Dem operative Sabato .

Old Commie Larry was caught secretly working fir the Webb senate campaign while acting as pollster and commentator on numerous Networks .

But he is a Leftists so he gets a pass !

I recall this moron predicted W Bush would never be reelected based in his polls and he guaranteed it !

A complete utter amoral fraud which makes for a good Dem !

Now it’s “Almost Unelectable”. As in Trump almost losing. I’ll take it, even though we know it will be a landslide.

Nice to see, though, that they’re starting to come around, and trying to cover themselves a bit for the inevitable.
