Popular vote is irrelevant. Article II, section 1, of the Constitution.
Jeb vrs Hillary
Jeb will be handed the White House keys by the Big Money
nothing will change
Bush fatigue although GW would be a welcome sight right now. My choice: Ted Cruz-Alan West.
The electoral map will look different depending on who the nominees are. It is doubtful that the democrat will get 102% of the black vote again, which would make Florida, Virginia, and Ohio more winnable.
If the GOPe ignore us and run a RINO Hill will win in a landslide.
Speculating on a 269 electoral college is pretty much a waste right now. About as worthwhile as speculating that the 49ers will lose the Super Bowl by a field goal 3 years from now.
Plus, if we are losing Florida, we aren’t winning the other states mentioned. Other than Obama, FL’s been a solidly GOP state for over a decade. If we are losing it here, we’re in worse shape in other places than this scenario would point.
With their declared war on the conservative wing of the base, the GOP will lose seats in the Senate and will lose the House outright in NOV.
The “leaders” of the party learned nothing from 2012.
The Democrats have locked-down the presidency in 2016
by neutralizing Colorado with dope, and Virginia with
scumbag McAuliffe.
To some extent, I don’t even know why we bother discussing these things- we have a system in which GOP consultants and ad-makers are guaranteed to rake in hundreds of millions of dollars in 2016, win or lose. (And as always, the only spark of energy will be when it comes to carpet-bombing Conservative opponents in the primaries).
As long as that is the case, Republicans will continue to be exploited by opportunists.
I’m opening myself up for attack here, but, this is further proof that we need a candidate with a Hispanic surname. The name “Cruz” comes to mind.
