Voters would show up if Trump is on 2016 ballot
CNBC ^ | Wednesday, 25 Nov 2015 | 10:39 AM ET | Eric Chemi | Mark Fahey

If Donald Trump were the GOP nominee, he would cause the highest voter turnout, relative to any other Republican hopeful. John Kasich, on the other hand, would keep people at home.

No matter what party affiliation you consider, Trump brings them out. Republicans, Democrats and independents are all most likely to show up if Trump is on the ballot. (In our analysis, we assumed a constant variable: the Democrats nominating Hillary Clinton.)

Not only do they show up to vote, but they vote for Trump. He's got the highest percentage of voters - across both parties and independents.

I fully expect the markets to crash big in the next few weeks and months. Perhaps we will see a 50% decline in he markets. Already the world markets are collapsing. The only one holding up is the US market. This is the identical scenario as in 2008.

When that happens, in the next few months, Trumps nomination is 100% a done deal!

Particular since the link to RCP has the Cruz-Hillary graphic listed second.

They did it in 2008. I kind of expect it over the summer or later for full chaotic effect.

The difference being this time the media will blame the incoming POTUS for any stock market crash rather than the outgoing POSPOTUS like they did in 2008/2009.

Ahhhh.....now we see why the media is full throttle along with both party establishments to destroy Trump.

Today the local Miami media is running the “Trump made fun of a crippled guy” crap. They say he crossed the line. Nuts.

“He’s got the highest percentage of voters - across both parties and independents.”

And yet when I say he/Cruz would do better as indys, the liberals come out of the woodwork here to defend their beloved GOP. Funny that...

The joke here is that they waited to release this until Thanksgiving weekend hoping no one would see it. Ha ha ha ha.

If Donald Trump were the GOP nominee, he would cause the highest voter turnout,

A sign that America is awakening.

Ain't it grand to be alive to see this?

And for those wondering, according to the latest polls from RealClearPolitics, Clinton would win most of these head-to-head battles.

Huh.

They leave the reader hanging, there isn't a single clue as to which ones might stand a chance against Hillary!.

The attempt to push Rubio ahead of Cruz is glaringly obvious to those of us who like Cruz. Even when he’s ahead of Rubio in a particular poll, they act like he doesn’t even exist. I like a Trump/Cruz option if Cruz isn’t the nominee.

AND THIS IS WHY I SUPPORT TRUMP OVER CRUZ!!

I like Cruz better, but Trump is going to cause a landslide, with coat tails a mile long. More GOP will be elected in ALL RACES because of him.

And with a Trump/Cruz ticket, there would be 8 years of Trump, and then 8 more of Cruz.

Of course Cruz is not on their list. CNBC is still pissed at Senator Cruz and like the old Pravda, they just write him out of any story or picture. Unless of course, it is a story that shows Cruz in a bad light.

What is so refreshing about Trump’s campaign is that his regular newsletter never asks for money it’s just upbeat info about where he’s been what he’s doing and where he’s going next.

The citizens have been waiting for a champion to stop The Cheap Labor Express.

I said in 2008 that the illegal alien inundation was the issue to defeat the Democrats. Instead the RNC engineered McAmnesty as the nominee, thwarting the will of the citizens.
Next we got Romneycare, the one guy who couldn’t use the most potent issue of that election, who was lying about opposing amnesty, BTW.

The RNC/GOP has been actively working against the citizens in favor of open borders and non-enforcement.

People are waking up.

Thank God.

Very interesting thing to point out. Of the bunch shown in their little bar graph, Cruz should be somewhere near the top.

Glad I got out.

I hate making a measly 2%, but I can sleep nights knowing I won’t lose half of it in a market crash. Just need to get some rentals and other tangibles as an inflation hedge.
