The sad part is, he’ll get no help from GOP traitors.
She can’t handle the rigors, either.
I don’t think Trump has a chance to win WI or IL, I hate to say.
I’d love for him to win IL (my state) but the D’s could run some sort of politician with health problems and a 30 year history of criminal behavior and still win...
Remember, our dead get 3 votes here.
This guy’s delusional.The Former Twelfth Lady absolutely *can* win....and has a very real chance of winning.The author has failed to appreciate,among other things,how many people get one type of government check or another.That number has skyrocketed,by design,over the last 7.5 years.As we all know,getting a government check strongly inclines one to vote Rat,the Rats being “The Mommy Party” as once described by Chris “Tingles” Matthews.
Good shot of the Rump running against Trump.
I agree with this analysis. Although, I’m one of these people who expect Trump to win PA and NY.
exactly, that is how I am thinking as well
Let them all think they got this in the bag
I understand that sentiment
but this election is way different from Romney
First Trump did not invent “Romneycare”
second Trump is not afraid of his wealth or success, he brags about
third, Trump did not get his butt beat by Candy Crawly on national debate stage. Romney looked like a beta male arguing with his wife and backed down like a coward. Trump would have destroyed her. OR better yet, Candy Crawly would have never been a debate moderator in the first place.
fourth, Trump won’t disappear from the campaign stage two weeks before the election, where was Romney? I know hurricane Sandy devastated the North East, but he could have still campaigned.
Fifth, what did Romney stand for? What does Trump stand for? We all know what Trump wants to do, we know his campaign slogan, we know about the wall and trade deals. Romney, we know he was a Mormon and he put his dog on the roof of his car, oh And that he isn’t Obama, that was about it.
This election is nothing like Romney. I don’t remember enthusiasm for Romney, sure we all voted for him, but that wasn’t enough. The blue collar guy who hasn’t voted since Reagan or Clinton, did not bother to show up. That is Trump’s voters he is bringing in.
Now if we can get rid of the Never Trumpers in our own party
In 2012, Barack Obama won the popular vote by almost 5-million votes — nearly 4% of the votes cast for Obama or Romney. And, yet, a switch of under 214,800 votes in Ohio, New Hampshire, Florida, and Virginia would have put Romney in White House. Thus a razor-thin 0.2% of voters determined the outcome of a race Obama won by nearly 5,000,000 popular votes. It was a virtual “tie race,” even though Obama won it by 4% of the popular vote.”
Is this really correct?
A swing of a total of 214,800 votes in 4 (!) states would have made Romney win? As in 4 states together, not 218K in EACH?
Is that really correct?
If so...that is incredible.
To use an old cliché, comparing 2014 and 2016 elections is like that of apples and oranges.
Hillary’s numbers are soft in Blue NY. She is not getting over 50%.
State is in play.
In LS we trust. Do you have an opinion why he hasn’t started TV ads? Keeping his powder dry until September?
yes, because NY and CA accounted for most of the popular vote margin.... and Shrillary may not even win NY in 2016! (I can hope).... but leave aside all of those millions of votes in CA and NY, and the margins in the handful of key “swing” states were very very close.
I think he plans a very short “real” campaign. I think those guys are convinced that all the crap that goes on before mid-September is a waste of effort and money, except for the rallies, which he uses as voter recruitment and worker recruitment.
Good point.
The NEVER Trumpers in our own party are NOT enough to make a damned bit of difference when Trump gets rank and file union members, all police members, fire dept. members, all first responders, there are MANY legal Hispanics that WANT the borders closed, evangelicals WILL be out in FULL FORCE for Trump due to the Johnson amendment this was NOT so for Romney, evangelicals I believe WERE the reason Romney LOST the election they stayed home, they DID NOT believe a word that came out of his mouth, they BELIEVE Trump! He may NOT be their perfect candidate but he does NOT lie to them!!!!!! Evangelicals are a HUGE force in politics and Republicans have been putting them on a back burner working for their donors instead!!! Trump WILL WIN BIG!!!!
Enthusiasm is what matters. When Hillary rents an arena for 2,500 people, and only 500 show up...it says something about enthusiasm for her campaign. Starting in last summer, you saw this as a continual trend. It’s rare that she ever gets more than half-capacity for a speech. Trump gets a full arena every time.
On this basis....I think the election is mostly over and she’ll be lucky to carve out 40-percent.
500 show up? That many?
I seen her get middle school gyms and they don’t even bother to roll out the bleachers and about 80 people are around her and most are either press or security
Trump mills 10-15,000 seat arenas and have an additional 5,000 outside listening in on speakers
Enthusiasm is what I believe is going to win this election, Obama won because of Enthusiasm not because of his policies.
Trump is appealing to people who don’t usually vote or never voted, if they show up, he wins
Thanks! Well, he certainly crushed the GOP field and she is a very weak candidate. Hopefully, he will start to tee off soon
