“And yet people here insist that any Republican but Trump would have lost to her.”
Of course they would have lost. Less than a total of 50,000 votes needed to be shifted from the Pub column to the Dem column for the Pub to lose, and the data shows that Trump’s fearless, bold, truth-telling and implacable stance against illegal immigration and numerous other issues that no other Pub would have touched with a 10-foot poll shifted hundreds of thousands of blue-collar voters out of the Dem column as well as bringing in hundreds of thousands of new voters to the Pub ticket. In fact, if it wasn’t for Trump, the Pubs would have dodged all the issues we care about here, especially implacable opposition to illegal immigration.
In fact, any other Pub would have MASSIVELY lost because they would have been sniveling cowards, total GOPe/RINOs and/or painted by the howling enemedia as lying, ultra-right-wing, ultra-conservative, ultra-fundamentalist pieces of shite.
A couple of other Republicans were at least as tough on illegal immigration.
Many Democrats refused to get in the race because they calculated that it was a Republican year.
Thank you.
