Right now, the Dems start with an enormous advantage in the electoral college. When you look at the 2012 electoral results, it is difficult to see what states Hillary or any Dem would lose that Obama won.
However, when broken down to individual counties, there is much more red, indicating numerous, if not most calls are very close.
On the topic of candidacy, perhaps if the dem voter that was not far left could be shown what conservatism can do, they may relax their lib DBM driven fears a little and actually consider an alternative.
Dems winning is not because of what they deliver, it is due to what the media pushes as what they will, and what they stand for, which is usually bullshiite.
need to control the media sufficiently to get the alternative message out.
Who on the horizon is doing that currently?
The GOPe solution of course is for the GOP to become a second Democrat party, abandoning all conservative principles and taking up most of the Dem platform as its own.
Hillary/ Bernnie will lose Iowa, Michigan, Virginia, Maine, New Hampshire, Colorado, Nevada, and NM. That’s 269. Cruz has the advantage because he’s putting together a great grass roots team who will work diligently for him because they believe in him. I can see Cruz winning Oh, Pa, Wi, and Fl based on ground game.
