Trump would be least-popular major-party nominee in modern times
WaPo ^ | 03-31-2016 | Philip Rucker and Robert Costa

Posted on 03/31/2016 6:00:02 AM PDT by NRx

If Donald Trump secures the Republican presidential nomination, he would start the general election campaign as the least-popular candidate to represent either party in modern times.

Three-quarters of women view him unfavorably. So do nearly two-thirds of independents, 80 percent of young adults, 85 percent of Hispanics and nearly half of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.

Those findings, tallied from Washington Post-ABC News polling, fuel Trump’s overall 67 percent unfavorable rating — making Trump more disliked than any major-party nominee in the 32 years the survey has been tracking candidates.

Let’s just pray he’s not the nominee.

There’s good reasons not to like the imposture in the Republican race.

These people need to stop obsessing about polls.

All they need to know is that Trump will beat Hillary.

Doesn’t matter. Outrage trumps logic and reason.

Perfect, because I can’t stand the popular ones, or the establishment telling me what’s popular.

Why is the WaPo complaining? This is exactly the kind of candidate they would want the GOP to run against a Democrat like Hillary.

Unless, of course, the WaPo is full of it and they’re scared to death of what Trump will do to Hillary in the general election.

Yes, by all means, let’s follow the sage advice of the WP, NYT, Boston Globe, etc. Because, it’s obvious they have our bests interests at heart.

You cant spell imposter. You shouldn’t be talking crap about anyone. You should hang your head in shame.

Let’s face it, the guy is a totally obnoxious, arrogant, overly sensitive, spoiled brat, nasty/mean, emotionally and intellectually immature creep. And these are some of his better qualities.

Yeah, let’s nominate Cruz so he can get his 25% vote nationally.

Perhaps you should tell that to the millions of people attending his rallies and voting for him. They probably haven’t heard yet.

I’m starting to believe everything Trump is doing is on purpose in order to hand the election to his friend Hillary.

Is that surprising, given that over half of the voters in the past two elections voted for a lying murdering traitorous Demonicrat?!?
