Rubio and Cruz are the real monsters: Liberals should be rooting for Trump - and he's easier to beat

I would rather see Ted Cruz as president, but it looks like Trump would be much harder for the democrats to beat. The writer is wrong about pretty much everything in her article.

Does someone edit this stuff? This guy is all over the place in his thoughts. For example, he begins with this prediction:

so that Hillary Clinton can wipe the floor with him in November.

And ends with this prediction:

it will probably be easier for Clinton to beat Trump than either of his opponents.

Isn't "wipe the floor" several factors above "probably"? And if the point of the article was to show he was really excited that Trump is the nominee, how does he end his thoughts with "probably easier" ? Doing the happy dance for "probably"?

Further, in his description of the debate he provides an example where he believes he demonstrates that Trump is the lesser of two other evils (Rubio and Cruz). He then concludes that Trump is the evilest of all.

Following liberal thought process hurts my brain.

I do not care what the other side thinks about what is happening here. However, I do care about stupidity, and this is stupidity on steroids:

Modern conservatism is built on a base of protecting men’s dominance over women, white people’s dominance over people of color and rich people’s dominance over everyone else, but it’s generally considered impolite to say so bluntly.

The description this deserves cannot be said with any politeness, though Galatians 5:12 comes close.

The whole point of "modern conservatism" is EQUAL OPPORTUNITY UNDER GOD. Give everyone a shot, and let them give it their best. PERIOD. The other side does not understand this, and that is why I do not care what they have to say about us.

FD: I'm all in for Cruz, because I think he both enunciates and demonstrates "modern conservatism" as it is and should be, not as Ms. Marcotte thinks it is and shouldn't be.

Hillary probably has trouble wiping her own azz, let alone wiping the floor with Trump.

Sorry, but we’re past the “Trump is Easier to Beat” meme - otherwise the Washington Post wouldn’t be running an editorial DEMANDING that the Republicans stop Trump. Not to mention other Democrats denouncing Trump non-stop.

But whatever, you guys can keep trying.

Yep and in June 2015 67% of Republican voters said they would never vote for him.

Clinton and Trump have about the same negatives. Trump’s polling numbers indicate that people hate him until they get to know him. Once he started campaigning in earnest his negatives with GOP voters went down. They are at about 20% right now.

Clinton numbers went the other way. The more she campaigned, the less people liked her. She went from overall positive to about the same negatives as Trump.

So Clinton has no ability to correct her negatives while Trump does during the campaing. That means the ONLY chance Clinton has is to make voters hate Trump more their her.

Who is best equipped to take on the fully Clinton Hate machine in the media? So far the only one I have seen take on, and beat, the media is Trump.

Trump is easier Hillary to beat because he’s the only candidate the GOP establishment will run a 3rd party candidate against and throw the race to Hillary. We are screwed unless we get behind Trump ASAP and crush the GOPe. They are at war with us. Sadly, Cruz supporters can’t see that.

There are 3 standard retorts when facts are presented on Trump, not to FRumpster liking:

We Don't Care!

Doesn't Matter!

Smart Business Practice!
