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.

270towin indicates can cruzs chances are exponentially better than trumps.

What states will Cruz win that Romney lost?

"All of them" isn't an answer. No goofball nonsense. Name the states.

Oh, Maggie. Didn’t anyone tell you not to bring up the KKK.

You know The Donald claimed he didn’t know who David Duke is... the Donald also refused to renounce the KKK.

“You are citing the map that adds in 2012 results.”

Yup ... I see that. My guess is that Cruz has been flying under the radar to most general election voters for most of the cycle so far. Trump has been getting all the attention and attacks.

Crazy was Ross Perot’s theme song.

Ross proved how easy it is for a third party candidate with a fanatically devoted base to win.

Trump will never throw punches at Hillary. He likes her, he supports her, he’s funded her and has praised her work as Senator and SOS.

Trump is no different that McCain or Romney. Willing to hit his Republican opponents hard, but treats his Democrat opponent with kid gloves.

That is because Trump is a democrat.

_______________________________

*Trump didn’t work with Paul Ryan to pass TPA; Cruz did

*Trump didn’t vote for an increase of H1B Visas; Cruz did

*Trump didn’t vote for the disastrous Corker Iran bill; Cruz did

*Trump didn’t lie about the Carson campaign leaving the GOP Primary; Cruz did

*Trump didn’t pass out sleazy, blackmailing mailers to Iowa voters; Cruz did

*Trump didn’t go to the Southern border with Glenn Beck to pass out Soccer Balls and Teddy Bears to illegals; Cruz did

Amazing what you Cruz supporters have to ignore in order to call this creep a conservative.

Waiting for excuses in 3...2...1

Well, in the general, Trump will be running against the concerted efforts of both party establishments and both party’s big donors. Both parties want Hillary because they both want nothing other than their own two-party oligarchy.

Think you’ll get any converts to Trump with you cute post. Methinks the Trump bandwagon will be coming to a halt.

Cruz didn’t stop the Gang of 8 bill either. It passed Senate, only to be stopped by the House. Cruz stopped NOTHING while in Senate

Trump supporters usually don’t answer their phones (even after 5 PM) because they are in their garages working on their cars, or they’re out pulling garden weeds. And if they are home, they’ll just hang up on the pollster.

Polls mean nothing this time around.>> or may be playin catch with their kids.

If Trump was such a pushover, the Wisconsin Democrats would have voted for TRUMP. Wait a minute!

Wasn't the previous claim that thousands of Democrats were crossing over to vote for Trump, proving his appeal across party lines?

Which is it? I'm confused...

Excellent point! I had forgot about that.

To Cruz supporters, reading “Green Eggs and Ham” on the Senate floor qualifies him to be called “the only principled Conservative.”

What you said is worth repeating:

“Cruz stopped NOTHING while in Senate.”
