Key to a Trump victory? He just needs to win the Rust Belt states. The rest don't matter.

The authors sagely warn against Democrats taking Trump for granted: "Seasoned Republicans have spent the past six months with their heads in the sand, hoping Trump would just go away. Democrats can't afford to make the same mistake."

Just ask Jeb Bush.

Trump has already prevented Democrats from using George W’s record against him.

Genius.

Someone might want to give HuffnStuff the six month old memo:

Trump is crushing Florida.

Where have these folks been?

When Trump wins Ohio early on Election Day, America will be domino dancing heading westward.

He’ll have locked up the Solid South, the border states, places like West Virginia, Iowa and Maryland and much of the West.

>> He is running an unsubtle, racist campaign that has particularly targeted Latinos

Trumps’s White Privilege of course!

Is there anything more vacant than the Liberal mind?

The writers describe themselves. They always do. Without projection, liberals would have nothing to say.

it is true, Trump has a much more plausible path to the White House than Jeb ever did (Hillary would’ve ruined him). Of couse tho, the big question mark is will the GOP machinery get in line with the Donald?

Do they value taking back the White House from the party of Islam Hussein Obama, or nursing their petty grievances and grudges against Trump? A lot of the establishment folks, even if they’ve got few actually voters for their own candidacy, do have access to voter files, voter rolls, group memberships, vote counters, etc. Not to mention the members of both parties who might not be so into Trump’s lack of indebtedness to special interests that elect and enrich them.

26. Clinton will encounter great difficulties here in Michigan against

Trump.

I’ve yet to find a common person that supports her, period.

1. Hillary steals the Democratic nomination and then is incapacitated on national TV after an extended coughing fit.

2. Hillary steals the Democratic nomination and then is indicted by the FBI.

3. Sanders ekes out the nomination and is pummeled by Trump.

alright. now listen up. don’t depend too much on Reagan dems. There aren’t as many as there used to be.

Also, don’t be so sure “Hispanics” (aren’t we americans?” are gonna go against him as hard as they are now once they hear his message.

you have to go after independents and Cruz conservatives.

you have to watch your back because I know a few of you trump people can do math :), Rubio Plus Bush votes Plus Kasich votes equals trouble.

a few might go to trump. But think. I’m a Cruz guy who’s gonna vote Trump in the generals.

Why do you think the Rubio/bush/Kasich guys aren’t gonna stick together? they think alike.

My man has two choices. Pair up with Rubio, which I would hate.

drop out when the time comes and back Trump.

trump loses badly head to head with Rubio and cruz. You can say it isn’t so and waste energy, or figure out why. And fix it.

Ted’s young. He’s got ‘24.

People have to start looking at all the angles of this election.

Not what they want to see, but what is real.

if trump were carrying the Reagan vote, I just think he would be beating Hillary by 10. he’s not.

perhaps by august he will be.

Trump has a problem with the "NOT MY VALUES" Issue when it comes to voter surveys.

At this point there are only two ways Trump can become president:

  1. He can run against Hillary
  2. He can run against Bernie

States like Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, New Jersey and even New York are ripe for Trump.

It is highly stupid for the author to assume that Floridians want more latino illegals.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say he can win if he gets enough electoral votes.

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.
