I didn’t see how Al Gore could win, but he was only one butterfly ballot away from winning. Kerry was a loser too, but he within a state away from winning. I can’t see how any of the Democrats stand a chance, but they keep coming so close.

Gore got close due to the last minute DUI release, and it was a tight race.. Kerry may only have been 1 state away, but he was well over 3 million votes away.

Libs have locks on most of the big EC states which makes them show better than they are represented nationally.

Fauxbam-uh will not be polling anywhere near Kerry or Gore on election day. I am not suggesting remotely to not fight hard and like we are losing every day, just saying I see no calculous where this schlub can win.

He’s polled high because he’s a blank slate that folks projected onto... and that play was already ending by the end of the Democratic primaries... through the general election cycle, he will be less and less a blank slate that folks can project whatever they want on, and the more often Fauxbam-uh has to open his mouth and speak without being scripted the further and further he’ll fall... not to mention even with a script the more he has to talk about details of ANY sort, the less he remains the blank slate for blind projections and his numbers will fall.

He peaked already, even among democrats.. and that was before the last big primary votes... he’d need to be up by 15-20 across the board today to have a shot at the WH.. because his numbers will continue to fall, and he’s not, and never was. He hasn’t broken out of statistical dead heat since he became the nominee.. his numbers are flat or falling nationally and in most state polls as well. For crying out loud he’s in a statistical dead heat in MI.. If there was a state he should have locked it should be MI.. between the MUSLIM block there and the general liberal nature of the state.. that state shouldn’t even be in play.

Fight hard against this guy, but as just a political observer, I don’t see any path that lets him get close to the WH.. He should have been washed out in the D primary, but he was able to play the say nothing game long enough and leverage the Anti-Hillary wing of the party to get the nomination... just barely.
