Will Trump vs. Clinton be a nailbiter?
CNN ^ | May 21, 2016 | Stephen Collinson,

Democrats knew a general election battle between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump would be rough, but many never considered the potential of a nailbiter.

During a primary in which Trump usurped the GOP establishment, alienated crucial sectors of the general electorate on issues like immigration and abortion and dinged his own approval ratings, many Democrats salivated at talk of a November duel with the billionaire.

Now, as Trump prepares for a general election showdown, veteran Democrats warn there is little room for complacency.

"It will be close," said Mark Alderman, a veteran Democratic Party fundraiser who worked on President Barack Obama's transition team.

I don't know, but Hillary will surely chew up a few slippers.

No, primarily because Cankles is not going to be the Demonorat nominee.

It’s going to be Biteme/Fauxahontas.

Not even going to be close.

I fully expect Barky Zero to read the tea leaves, then allow her to be indicted. Biden will then run and lose...

I would say that by the convention Trump should have a pretty hefty lead on Cankles. She is functioning at 100% right now. No room for improvement.

I think Trump’s victory margin against Hillary will be WIDER than for Bernie.

I’m in California and I feel NO energy for Hillary here.

I have seen ZERO bumper stickers for her.

Either way, it’s going to take a lot of voter fraud to drag the Dem team to victory. Those four make one sorry-a$$ group.

“I fully expect Barky Zero to read the tea leaves, then allow her to be indicted. Biden will then run and lose...”

I expect the same. Obama will ‘politely’ ask her to bow out in exchange for dropping the investigation (that’s the only reason it even got this far)...and if she doesn’t, then he’ll do what’s necessary to get her out of the way.

It’s hard to believe they’ll just sit by and let her get trounced, just because it’s ‘her turn’. We may do that, but the Dems DO NOT - they understand the stakes a LOT BETTER than the GOPe is capable of understanding.

...and to your last point - while Biden and Squaw seem like a good ticket now - they have yet to run into the buzz saw named Trump.

“Alienated crucial sectors of the general electorate on issues like immigration and abortion”

They’re not crucial. The only crucial sector is American patriots, which are about 60% as they were in 1972, 1980, and 1984.

Correct. It is going to be a slaughter and a romp to watch.
