Insiders: Clinton would crush Trump in November
Politico ^ | April 29, 2016 | Katie Glueck

Posted on 04/29/2016 9:48:36 AM PDT by Zakeet

In the swing states that matter most in the presidential race, Donald Trump doesn’t have a prayer against Hillary Clinton in the general election.

That's according to top operatives, strategists and activists in 10 battleground states who participated in this week's POLITICO Caucus. Nearly 90 percent of them said Clinton would defeat Trump in their home states in a November match-up.

Republicans are only slightly more bullish on Trump’s prospects than Democrats: More than three-quarters of GOP insiders expect Clinton to best the Republican front-runner in a general-election contest in their respective states. Among Democrats, the belief is nearly universal: 99 percent of surveyed said will Clinton will beat Trump.

In three of the biggest swing states—Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida—Republicans were particularly downbeat about the prospect of a Trump-Clinton contest.

I know most of the names of possible sources in the Virginia list and with only a couple of exceptions they are old guard RINOs - basically, a collection of exactly the type of political scoundrel who got us into this mess in the first place.

Why are the liberal MSM and dems so upset that the Republicans may select Trump as the nominee? I mean if it is going to be a cake walk and such a landslide, why not just celebrate Hillary as the next POTUS and start discussing who will be in her cabinet and what she will do in her first 100 days.

Pennsylvania is definitely not a must win. It never seems to go our way even when we do win in the current era. Ohio yes. Interestingly, PA seems to be a very narrow loss even when we edge out the Dems in Ohio. This race, with a Northeasterner in the race, I could potentially see those reversing.

Donald Trump doesn’t have a prayer against Hillary Clinton in the general election...

How do you people like those apples? The socialist/communists are going to take away your Nation using the power of the ballot box. When will you get off of your collective asses and get into local/state/federal offices? When will you bang pots in the streets, demanding resignations?

Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your football game.

Keep an eye on the Black Vote in Ohio. 13-14% gave George W. Bush the win.

On June 13, 2015, Hillary unveiled the broad themes of candidacy for President in an address on Roosevelt Island, New York City. Once one of the most polarizing figures in American Politics, she now shouts from the roof tops that she’s an advocate for the poor, as well as for women and girls. But simply being a woman, unfortunately, does not make her the advocate that females in this Country deserves.

Hillary Clinton is an advocate for women as long as you are not one of Bill Clinton’s rape victims or girl friends. And as Hillary rails against the excess of wealthy hedge funders and others on Wall Street, she has used her own statue as part of the power elite to bully people. (”War on Women” pages 15-16)

The Clintons’ life long history of lying and violating the law, seemingly without consequence or punishment, is a phenomenon known as ‘Elite Deviance”. Elite Deviance is a condition socialogists say exists in a society when the elite of that society no longer believe that the rules apply to them. “It is not due primarily to psychopathological variables, but to the institutionalization of elite wrong doing,” say Professor David Simon in his landmark book now in its eighth printing=”Elite Deviance”.

Elite Deviance is an anomaly in which a tiny few people who have enough material wealth, political influence, and personal connections can immunize themselves from considering the consequences of their most abhorrent destructive, vile and even criminal behavior. This describes the Clintons perfectly.

Elite deviance protects and perpetuates moral depravity and debased ethical relativism among the powerful and wealthy in our midst. It is an aberration of civil society that is only possible through the elites’ cadres of supporters, sycophants, apologists and fellow travelers in media, academia, politics and high finance. This includes Clintons apologist James Carville, David Brock, Betsy Wright, Lanny Davis and now fully exposed George Stephanopoalus.

In short, elite deviance means that there are a few among us to whom the rules don’t seem to apply. They can behave with impunity in ways that would otherwise incur severe, if not life-ending, repercussions for all others in the American Criminal Justice System. This pertains to the Bushes as well as the Clintons.

The American public needs to see past this false, dangerous narrative of a charming, goofily naiive “Bubba” and a ‘poor, devoted” Hillary. (”War on Women” Pages 17-18)

Of course she would!!!

That is why they are all trying so hard to convince us not to run Trump on our side.

We know Liberals just want to help us, and they sure want to run against someone more harder to beat

Well, these foks predicted everything that happened this time so accurately, they must be believed. I’m not even a Trump fan, but HRC is SUCH a weak opponent who will have indictment(s) or the shadow of one over her, not to mention decades of being Mrs. Bill Clinton, combined with Trump’s complete Heisenberg quality, ANYone would be a fool to predict an outcome with certainty, and a complete fool to predict that Hillary Clinton defeats Trump.

Yep, once he swings a couple of non-swing states, the swing states won’t matter.
