Why Donald Trump Is Poised To Win The Nomination And Lose The General Election, In One Poll By Philip Bump March 23
Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but a new poll from Quinnipiac University suggests that the most likely outcome of this presidential race is the following: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump face off in the general election, and Hillary Clinton wins. Standard polling caveats apply, not the least of which is that the campaign hasn't started and that polls taken well in advance of an actual election are often not predictive. But reading this poll on this day with these numbers? That's the logical conclusion.

He has record numbers voting for him and you think they won’t turn out in the general. He will win in a tsunami.
Pray America wakes
Do you actually believe this nonsense?
He did? It was in the paper that he won. Was the paper wrong? OMG! A newspaper was wrong. LOL Great picture though.
Sanders for President!
Go Sanders Go!
Oh yes the Washington Post is the Bench Mark of the Conservative movement..... NOT!!!
Yeah let’s listen to them because the Washington Post wants the Republicans to win over Hillary.....(sarcasm off)
***NEWS FLASH**** The Leftist are NOT going to advise you how to defeat them in an election genius. So whatever they say, BY DEFAULT, you should take the opposite position.
I can’t believe some Freepers are still dumb enough to think the Washington Post is trying to help you out? It’s astounding!
It reminds me a lot of the dumb Republican congress members that thought it was smart to kiss the @ss of the media in hopes they would like them.....LOL IDIOTS!
At the very least, Cruz has 15 hours of creepy raw footage video on YouTube that clearly demonstrate how his own family can't even stand him.
I can’t wait to vote for Trump on April 26 here in PA. Then I get to vote for him again in November!
This trope that whatever Republican candidate is the most popular in the primaries can’t possibly win the general has been around for a LONG time. It’s used by the GOPe to convince primary voters to ditch their first choice in favor of the GOPe choice, and then, without fail, the GOPe choice goes on to lose.
Why on earth would the person sweeping the primaries in landslides lose the general election? Logically, the person who can’t even win a primary has ZERO chance of winning the general—so why try to pretend otherwise?
And Jimmy Carter would have had a second term according to polls.
Him too. I just remember Hillary complaining that the exit polls showed Kerry winning but lost the election. She stated that he should have been elected because the polls favored him.
It Trump gets the nomination and loses to Hillary Clinton, then I won’t complain. It will mean that the citizens of the country are corrupted beyond repair and it will not do any good to even dwell on it. The country will be over.
However, I happen to think that Trump will win in a landslide. What puzzles me is that people want to parade these polls around. As it has often been pointed out, the polls had Reagan losing to Carter in a landslide.
The time for half measures, talk and compromise is over. I'm willing to hold the line even it means losing the election. If the country is in a position that it would elect Hillary, then we are already dead. I'll take an 8 year death over a 16 year death. It's just a matter of when it manifests.
Either we turn this tanker around, or there's no turning it around.
You should have a little faith in the power of standing your ground. Doing so has the power to actually alter reality. It's not to be done often and as absolutely as we have to now ... but this is one of the times for it.
I imagine you would have been one of the men in the bars who said 'but King George isn't so bad that we need to go to war.' Think about it. Who would you have been? Would you have answered? We're not even asked to go to physical war, and already you are weak in the knees, so afraid of failure that you'll accept the soft warm comfort of a nice hot chocolate cup of poison.
If this country is ready for a revolution - let's hasten it. If it's not, it will vote for Trump.
But lost in the media love fest was Bump’s partisan past — a history left unspoken in either the Post’s official announcement or any of the Twitter applause. Not only does Bump’s archive at The Wire betray a palpable bias in favor of progressivism; his career as a journalist began when he headed a vicious pro-labor blog which published the names and addresses of opponents later targeted by unions.
Same crowd said Reagan didn’t have a chance...even after he won.
Steelfish Threads!
Guaranteed to be weak during the primaries.
Don't forget John Anderson in 1980.
The third party liberal republican "alternative".
He was there, too.
So that the GOPe of the time could rally around such a dynamic, non-treatening person who wouldn't get us into WWIII.
As we all remember Reagan got us into.
The media *continuously* warned us against Reagan.
Why oh why didn't we listen?
actually it’s your man crush CRUZ who needs to suspend his bid, and get the hell out of the way.”
Jeb endorsed Cruz so Cruz could be the spoiler and maybe Jeb get elected in a brokered convention.
Remember, Jeb said he could lose the primary and win the general.
Don’t you get tired of posting propaganda from the rotting fish at the Washington Post, or do you simply embrace leftist scum and their lies?
- Not bad with a 3.9% MOE. The headline is sort of BS. At least we can see a real national number of Trump over CRuz.
