Here's How Donald Trump Could Become President
Huffington Post ^ | 02/22/2016 | Zach Carter and Ryan Grim

Posted on 02/22/2016 10:46:29 PM PST by goldstategop

Trump is no Romney. He is running an unsubtle, racist campaign that has particularly targeted Latinos. His chances of winning swing states with significant Latino populations -- Florida, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico -- are extremely low.

But he doesn't need them to win. All he has to do is carry the Rust Belt -- a region perfectly attuned to Trump's fiery denunciations of American trade policy and his angry condemnation of Washington corruption. While Romney hailed free trade, globalization and "creative destruction," Trump rails against the North American Free Trade Agreement and promises to bring jobs back home.

No, I think Trump will be far more creative with his VP. Someone loyal.

To: itsahoot

can’t do it.

UNLESS, which what I think is going to happen, it’s Rubio and Trump and it’s tighter than people think.

Then I’ll vote Trump.

You ask me to change my vote because my guy wont sin? What kind of man does that?

April 16, NY. If it’s a horse race, like I said, i’ll vote trump against Rubio, otherwise it’s Cruz.

But neither Trump nor Cruz is going to take NY if Rubio is still in this. Even the republicans here (besides Staten Island, upstate, a few part of other suburbs) are RINOs.

now i’m gonna hear from people who know my own state better than me.

i’ll hear from people with political “inside” knowledge/

you’re wrong.

Trump can sway maybe PA, VA, he’ll need Ohio and FL..what other states can he flip?

I always forget the swings.

Make dems spend money in NY and NJ but no republican is taking either one

PA and VA. that would be HUGE right there.

THIS is what the pro-Walker threads looked like only 12 months ago.

The Cruzers weren’t content, even way back then, to allow discussions of anyone else to go unmolested.

A quick scan of this thread also illustrates how obnoxious, or drunk, the pro-Cruz posters were, and still are.

The debate where Romney refused to bring up the subject of Benghazi, when it had just happened, is the debate that sunk him and gave obama a second horrible 4 years. Yes, I blame men like Romney who listened to his advisers instead of common sense and doing what is right. Weakness is not a virtue. Stupidity does not win.

Ought to be an easy victory for Trump because his next two closest rivals in the campaign lack ‘natural born citizen’ credentials.

Eminent domain is NOT an issue for the president. It is firmly a judicial matter. What does it matter how the prez feels about it?

Trump running for our nomination is like Limbaugh running for the Democratic nomination. It mass insanity.

Aren’t personal attacks (like calling me stupid) bannable offenses?

You might want to read it. It might explain why many fellow FReepers distrust Cruz.
