Donald Trump Could Be Headed For A Catastrophic General Election Defeat by Jack Mirkinson

April 3, 2016 T Donald Trump could be headed towards a catastrophic general election defeat if he becomes the Republican presidential nominee, according to a host of recent polling and analysis.

There were gasps on Friday when the University of Virginia’s Larry Sabato posted new projections showing that Trump could lose the Electoral College vote to Hillary Clinton 347-191.

Sabato is not alone in forecasting such a wipeout. Trump is trailing both Clinton and Bernie Sanders by double digits in some national polls.

It is pretty clear that the fix is in. Larry Sabato is completely funded by the establishment.

Even sadder. It *was* true, but Levin threw his cred away.

Cruz and Clinton are hated as much as trump by 5 points less without taking any tough positions.

When you have the MSM and the establishment fighting you 24/7, it’s not really a fair contest. Once Trump gets the nomination, he should remind the voters of this constantly.

Reality Check. Hillary cannot win against a steaming pile. People have a bad memory or are really gullible if they buy such patently bogus polls.

Wasn’t he predicting a trump win not long ago? I know he’s supposed to be the prediction guru- but I thought he had trump winning before?

Hurry hurry hurry.

Cruznadians are running outta time.

New York is almost here.

Post more anti-Trump stuff.

You’re not doing it quickly or frequently enough.

Do it for your Uniparty masters!

Please them, for they pwn you.

Be the good establishment server that you were born to be.

The polls are sampling voters who are voting Democrat and supporting other Republican candidates. This makes a large majority of voters not voting for Trump. However, once Trump gets the nomination, There are a huge number of Republicans who will never vote for the Democrat and independents who love Trump with a passion. How can a poll accurately measure the electorate now when the electorate is so splintered by the race for delegates?

“cruzs chances are exponentially better”

http://www.270towin.com/maps/bJQV

I don’t see that at all...235 to 166; when he loses Florida it’s 264 to 166, after that all she needs is Virginia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin or Minnesota.

I’d say Cruz is toast; just because Trump gets all the focus with these types of predictions doesn’t mean Cruz would fair any better
