"I think I'll bring in states like Michigan that was devastated by job loss, states like New York," Trump told CNN.
Probably not. The last Republican to win New York in a presidential election was Ronald Reagan in 1984. Michigan hasn't gone Republican since 1988. But Trump's boasting does raise an interesting point: There's a case to be made that Trump could reshape the electoral map in a way that Ted Cruz couldn't.
Bad map in both scenarios: Cruz WILL NOT take OH= loss. He got killed here.
Trump would take VA, NV, and probably PA with NJ in play, maybe CO (but a lotta potheads there) for 30-35 more than they give him with best case of an additional 43 for 328. Maine and NM despite what they say are in play for another 9 or 337. Pretty big blowout equal to almost every election in the late 1800s.
“You can’t” cause you, with your Trump hate, flat don’t want to.
1) Barone is the nincompoop who had Minion winning 2012.
2) You continue to use these completely bogus “unfavorable” ratings. I have explained ad nauseoum how these are completely unreliable with a celebrity like Trump. I will let you look those up.
3) BusTed has no shot whatsoever-—none-—in OH he came in a distant third-—or MI (ditto) or PA and would almost certainly lose FL, where he got CREAMED by Trump among . . . Hispanics, as he did in AZ and NV.
At some point you ridiculous anti-Trumpers have to put away your perpetually disproven global warming theories and face reality.
So the rat plan has worked. Whites can no longer be elected POTUS without guaranteeing the “immigrants” further feeding from the trough.
Maybe we should give the a stipend for life if they leave - it probably would be cheaper.
Barone clearly projected and predicted that Mitt Romney would beat Obama.
Religious zealots NEVER win general elections.
Beck helped Cruz win in the Soros-manipulated on-line voting. Big deal. He cheated, again.
“due to his rhetoric and incredibly poor numbers in the Hispanic community.”
So tired of hearing this. Like Cruz would do any better among Hispanics..ANY Republican is gonna lose that demo by a huge margin, after Obama’s amnesty scheme. Rubio might have gained a few points due to his name but not much.
Bottom line, Trump needs to get 55% of the male vote (Mitt got an anemic 52%) and 63% of the overall white vote. (Mitt got 59%)..For every hispanic vote he “loses”, he gains 2 white votes. It’s gonna come down to ppl turning out
But, Donald Trump is closer to getting the nomination and becoming the next President of the United States. Teddy will be lucky to finish out his term and finally do his job. It is doubtful now that the people of Texas would send him back to DC.
Donald Trump is the best man for the job. Teddy Bare is nothing but a slimy lying lawyer. DC has enough of them already!
Actually, it is only 14 of the 17 which are bound. Three slots of those 17 are reserved for party bigwigs, including Chairman Rob Gleason, a RINO`S RINO.
Show me primary Candidate who got less than 20% of his party vote 2 of them in a 4 person race
Florida ,a 4 person race race, no Jeb! 4% isn't going to help you.
Ohio 4 person race and Virginia less than 20% of the vote.
You lose those States then we are talking a Clintion landslide.
The Green Papers quotes PA GOP Rule 8.3 that commits PA’s three RNC members’ delegate votes to the primary winner.
I see Cruz’s model winning those states plus North Carolina LOL
Trump is not going to win Wisconsin or Michigan.
Has anyone considered if both parties kick their winners to the curb, through delegate manipulation.
Dems put up Fauxchohantas - cannot remember her actual name or Biden
Pubs put up Cruz or Coburn.
Trump can't change who he is.
498 delegates to go for Trump to get to 1237. Now at 739.
Michael Barone WAS an expert. His star has faded.
PLUS NY, PA
If so, then Chairman Gleason may have to choke on his bile when forced to vote for Trump.
