The problem with being polarizing within your own party, is that you end up alienating the other pole. That’s why traditionally, the most boring candidate wins the nomination, because he hasn’t alienated anyone so the party coalesces around him.

If Trump wins the GOP nomination we can expect him to take about 25% of the vote in the general election. The rest will be split between Hillary and a third party candidate.

Of course if Trump does NOT win the GOP nomination, I would expect HIS supporters to abandon the GOP as well and vote for a third party candidate probably Trump himself.

Either way, Hillary Clinton wins the White House.

The polls show Trump defeating Hillary, taking 70% of the electoral vote.

I’d say that’s not too far fetched.

“The problem with being polarizing within your own party, is that you end up alienating the other pole. “

I really think that’s what the left has conditioned many to believe over the years. One of the left’s famous statements: “Why can’t we just get along”.

But the fact is, in order to do push back, in order to get a message out to the people, the politicians need to state their beliefs. It’s obvious the majority of Americans want the illegals gone. That’s one of Trump’s top priorities. That’s the biggest thing that is causing “polarizing”. Additionally, Trump stands his ground.

Same goes for Cruz, he’s stepping on toes, he’s arguing for the righteous causes that will restore America. That’s push back. And in the eyes of a lib, that’s polarizing. If Trump were out of the picture and Cruz had higher numbers, all would be after that “Polarizing” guy.

So if no one is to polarize, then I guess we need good ole Jebbie, cause he just wants to get along. Of course I disagree with this as this type of attitude is what has trashed America.

In the simplest of terms, I say:

“GO TRUMP! GO”.

Polarizing is push back. We need more of it so the real America haters show their true colors!

How do you figure? If Trump wins, I expect him to sweep the country at least with legitimate votes. If Trump drops out though, then you’re right. Hillary or Bush in the White House.

I don't know who "we" are but I'd like a piece of that action. How about 2:1?
