“The ones that get me are the ones who say “ Can’t win in November.” and then gives no reason why without subsequent coaxing.”
I must admit that I’ve been whipsawed by this notion for years. On the one hand, we need to have some semblance of pragmatism when it comes to candidate selection (as evidenced by the really poor Tea Party supported candidates in NV, MO, and MD a couple of years back). At the same time, we’ve been treated to an endless string of “$hit Sandwiches for President” by the GOPe using the same logic (that these people are the only one’s that can win, which ends up also being untrue). But here we are with “outsiders” in the lead for the first time in my lifetime, and all of them have a reasonable degree of credibility. So at least for this election, the “can’t possibly win scenario” needs to be put away, because the polling is beginning to show that most of them can defeat Hitlary (that is if she’s not in jail come election time). The only thing I remain fearful of is that the GOPe will jigger the convention to put in Hebbie or Rubio. If they do that, the GOP is extinct so far as I am concerned.
I don’t mind someone making the case that someone cannot win in November, but a quick hit and run without a reason does not contribute to the discussion.
HRC is not Godzilla, she’s more like The Creeping Terror. Any of the Top Four (Trump, Carson, Cruz and Rubio) can certainly beat her, and each one in different ways.
