Hillary’s got two criminal investigations on her tail and 147 full time FBI agents working it; FBI director Comey himself will reportedly question her — a very unusual occurrence.
Donald Trump will have no trouble branding Hillary like a prize dogie.
You recall Mr. Trump is good at branding: Low energy Jeb, little Rubio, lyin’ Ted. The next thing you know, opponents crumble. The brand usually sticks because there’s truth in them. He’s a wizard at it.
Mr. Trump hasn’t begun a general election campaign against Hillary yet. Once we see a direct, side by side comparison on the campaign trail and in debates, Hillary will be left shattered and sputtering. Trump wins.
Right now, however, he’s focusing on Ted Cruz.
“Agree? Disagree?”
“I’m voting for Trump.”
I’m voting for Trump too. AND if the Republicans in my state of Georgia cannot manage to pass a State Religious Freedom Bill within the next year, then @#$% the whole Republican Party forever. I’ll never vote for them again. In fact, I’ll spend the rest of my days bad-mouthing them. Furthermore, I’ll just assume that the country is lost...withdraw from political activism...and spend the remaining days of my life not caring about the slow downward trajectory of the so-called “United States”. My blood pressure will drop, my sleeping habits will improve, and I’ll probably be a much happier person.
The bottom line is this...someone (or some group) needs to put the screws to the present Republican leadership. Trump is best torture device we presently have to do this. All I heard when McCain and Romney were nominated is that we have to nominate them OR Obama will win...no one else can beat Obama...and other such nonsense. Look where that got us. I’m beyond sick of it.
Anyone who quotes to me that “Trump can’t win!” can simply piss off. If he can’t win, then no one can win against the Hildabeast. But ya know....so what?....at least we won’t for any more milksop Republicans; and give them the impression that we ACTUALLY approve of them as candidates.
I believe you once said you worked for the Reagan administration.
According to this article you couldn't have because in the Spring of 1980, he couldn't have won in the same exact way.
There can only be one front-runner. And that is Trump. Cruz trails by over 200 delegates; Trump has won 20 states compared to Cruz's 10 (including CO); and Trump has received 2 million more votes than Cruz. Trump is the front-runner, by far. NY will make it even more emphatic next Tuesday.
Sure Trump can win, and I give him a slightly better chance than Cruz.
Trump will and can convincingly stand up to the media onslaught that is sure to come, not by trying to meet their lies with explanations which they will never even acknowledge, but by painting the whole MSM as the lie machine that it is. Trump has called the press liars, and views at home stood up and cheered. He will paint them as simply another arm of a corrupt established order.
Further, he will mount the type of attacks on Hillary that will be required. The way to beat the Clinton’s is to go right after them, and their friends, in a very personal way, in terms that average people understand. Cruz will not. Trump will. This election will not be about policy.
I’m voting for #neverHillary... that said, I think Trump will trump her... 1/3 of Bernie people won’t vote for her. She also has no draw anyway... no crowds etc. So she’ll be supported by the party faithful and that’s it. No dem can win with just their own party faithful. I live in a blue state... most of my social media friends are progressives. At least half have said if they do vote in the general, they will write in Bernies name.
With Trump’s $2 billion in free television time he’d be the frontrunner.
Disagree with prejudice. DT has HDK by at least 40 IQ points and probably more likely 50. Hillary will make George Custer look like the all-time winner in a race against Trump.
Cruz certainly can’t win.
McCain and Romney ran loser campaigns, trying not to offend anyone.
And Cruz won’t even win a swing state.
According to this article, Trump will lose. Therefore, a Trump victory in Wisconsin would be in the best interests of the Democrat Party.
Oddly, in Wisconsin, a miracle happened:
The counties around Milwaukee, which vote reliably squish (Romney stomped Santorum in 2012, McCain stomped Huckabee in 2008), SUDDENLY got the Social Conservative Fever, and and came out in DROVES for Ted Cruz. At the same time, the Democrat vote count in those same counties tailed off noticeably.
This remarkable occurrence handed Wisconsin to Cruz.
Oddly, Trump scooped up most, if not all of the rest of the counties won by Santorum, the social conservative, in 2012.
The eastern Wisconsin Democrat vote factories were so sure of their strategy that the Dane County Democrat voter turnout proceeded unmolested, and actually INCREASED noticeably over the 2008 dogfight between 0bama and Clinton.
Normally, Dane would be pressed into service to influence the statewide vote.
Why would the Democrats fail to secure their November victory like this? If Cruz loses Wisconsin, he's done - and Trump is on the Democrat menu for the fall...
Most excellent. The dems will promote Cruz because they know he will lose.
Very interesting info.
