“Trump has a chance precisely because he not an Ideologue, ideology and philosophy have nothing to do with this, it is the anger built up over time by people because they feel betrayed by all of our leaders.”
That’s what was said about Romney and McCain. See how well that worked out. Trump supporters are hoping for two things. The first is a lot of moderate Dems crossing over. The second is a lot of conservatives once again pulling the lever for the lesser of two evils. Romney was more conservative than Trump and conservatives stayed home because he was too liberal.
The only way Trump wins is with a conservative as VP and he already burned that bridge. That leaves a must win state for VP and that means Kasich.
Which leads me to one conclusion. The media and GOPe has colluded to keep conservatives home. Doesn’t matter if it was Trump or Bush. Same results, but with Trump it makes the destruction of conservatism final and no one is the wiser.
Excellent plan really.
Sadly, you may be right. Another thought I’ve had is what happens if the Dems have a brokered convention? What if it is the PLAN to take out Hillary and Bernie there—and nominate Biden? I’ve not seen a discussion about how a Democrat brokered convention would work, but suddenly putting Biden up against Trump changes everything for the Democrats. They would have their excitement back, with all the media backing, and have a candidate that Obama voters will readily support...Trump becomes just another grumpy old rich guy, not cool anymore, and America, and conservatism loses—again.
