Don’t say Trump can’t win: Why the rush to forecast the general election in May is ridiculous
MSN ^ | May 8, 2016 | Gary Legum

Posted on 05/08/2016 10:27:30 AM PDT by Beautiful_Gracious_Skies

Now that Donald Trump has clinched the Republican Party nomination for president, we as a nation need to ask ourselves some serious questions: What is the sickness in our nation’s soul that has placed this carrot-colored monstrosity so close to the most powerful office in the world, and what can we do to fix it? How many newscasters will kill themselves live on-air on Election Night if he wins? (I’m setting the line at three and taking the over.) What do we need to do to bury the Trump campaign so deep before November 8, searchers will need a methane probe and ground-penetrating sonar to find it?

But the most frightening question of all: He can’t actually win, can he?

Gary Legum (Salon), is getting nervous, he's getting SCARED OF TRUMP!

Snippets from the article:

..."Democrats could overdo the pummeling, leading to voter backlash....there could be diminishing returns to attacks, people might get defensive, and Trump could start seeing his poll numbers turn around."

"I am of the opinion that the polls are right, Trump will be too unpopular outside of a relatively narrow slice of the electorate to win. But I am also NERVOUS because nothing is guaranteed, .... none of the attacks have really stuck, because Trump has crawled through the sewer where America’s worst slime lives – the racists and misogynists and Grand Dragons of the Ku Klux Klan, the alt-right losers who power the MRA movement – and come out with his tailored suits still clean."

"In short, I DON'T SEE A CLEAR WEAKNESS IN TRUMP the way I did with candidates in past elections. AND THAT MAKES ME NERVOUS."

I agree with Gary's final comment and add: Go TRump, Indict Hillary and Send Bernie to a Kibbutz.

Nothing but upside for Trump between now and Election Day. His current base of supporters are going nowhere. He will only grow his base from here on out.

Well, it probably makes the Left feel better.

Unless something very strange (and sinister) happens before November......Trump will absolutely trounce either democrat candidate.

It’s only May and the NeverTrump coalition from the lefties to the righties are already melting down. If Trump is a sure loser then why comment on it. Let him implode, but the more they keep harping on about how he’s certain to lose the more you know they’re worried he’s going to win in November.

Agree.

For women voters:

1. Display how women have soared in their careers for the past forty years within The Trump Organization.

2. Contrast the lower salaries HillBill paid their female employees.

3. Highlight Bill’s repeated felonious assaults on women and Hillary’s repeated attacks upon the very same women. There are at lest 12- 20 of them.

Hispanics, AAs, and Asians have been employed in large numbers by Trump and not been at the end of discriminatory hiring practices.

This has been such a great Primary election season, and it will get even better as Trump continues to tell the truth about the Clintoons.

The darkside Clintoon realities/facts hidden by the left wing mediots, our dying GOPe and its faux conservative pundits for decades will be brought out by Trump.

Obama and his muslim buddies might be considering Arkansas accidents for both Clintoons, when the Clintoon’s darkside facts are really brought out by Trump.

They think if they keep repeating the lie that Trump can’t win, they will have set the agenda. They anticipate the voters will comply with their desire.

His only argument that hillary is a good candidate is that she was on the winning side of bill’s campaigns. If I remember right, I think he won because of Ross perot not his wife.

It is called shaping the battlefield by the use of propaganda, manipulation, and deceit.

Working class Democrats voting for Trump will far outnumber RINOs voting for Clinton. Trump will win.

“How many newscasters will kill themselves live on-air on Election Night if he wins?”

Not enough.

After Cruz’s tantrum fueled press conference it is clear that hysterical Cruzers and their Romney/Bush allies plan on trashing Trump for two months until the convention. They are in conservative vote suppression campaign mode now. It’s how the kenyan won in 2012 and now they intend to put the Butcher of Benghazi in the White House in 2016. How principled and conservative of them.
