Best Bet to Beat Hillary? Mika Says It's Trump
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/18/2015 5:23:46 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

The polls might currently be showing something else, but Mika Brzezinski's view on which Republican has the best shot at beating Hillary Clinton might surprise you. On today's Morning Joe, Mika said "If you want someone to beat Hillary Clinton, it would be Donald Trump. Because he will do things that none of those candidates will do . . . The Democratic party has a problem if Trump wins the nomination."

Mika's comments came after Chuck Todd suggested that for now, Republican voters are looking for "bold colors" [i.e. Trump], but later might become more pragmatic and turn to someone with a better chance of winning.

Surprising! Mika says Trump best bet to beat Hillary. Says he’ll do things other Republicans won’t do.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Trump has some advantages. He’d be competitive in the northeast and in California, where the Dems haven’t had to work for a LONG time.

Obama is a loathsome, unqualified, radical, and a narcissist.

But this does not mean that we should counter with a load-mouthed, unqualified, ignorant, blowhard narcissist of our own.

The thing he will do is fight.

Merry Christmas

Not just regionally, he can appeal to urban blue collar whites, blacks, and legal immigrants, that the GOP has had difficulty reaching. So his electoral map is different.

He might even pick off some Sanders voters, the ones more motivated by his anti-establishment rhetoric who distrust the Clinton machine. Which trades off a few establishment GOP types who may sit out or vote Hillary.

I much prefer Cruz, but the politics junkie I’m me finds this aspect of his candidacy interesting.

Well that's discouraging since Mika is always wrong.

Dunno.
The homosexual promoting women in combat agenda officers that Obama put in charge at the Pentagon have issued a statement that they will resign outright if Trump is elected.

Not having to work hard at rooting them out would be a plus that no other candidate brings to the table.

The fact that the msm is so hateful toward him tells me that Hitlery does NOT want to run against him. The democrats do not want Trump to be the nominee.

“Mika has been right about Trump since beginning. “

She’s going with the “if it happens I am right and if it doesn’t it will go down the memory hole” approach. Good little commie.

Yep, I believe that Trump will attack Hillary like no other politician will. Including Tedd Cruz even though I am voting for Ted.

Didn’t Mika’s daughter shock her by coming out of the closet for TRUMP?

If people are truly disgusted with the uniparty and not just saying it, Trump’s got it sewn up.

She’s right. Amazingly. “A blind squirrel” theory at work here.
