Trump would be the only candidate who would take the fight directly to Clinton. The others would be just a reincarnation of McCain and Romney, not even putting up a real fight, and the Clinton machine, DNC and their Super PACs would eat them for lunch in one bite.

Actually we should be thankful it’s come to this: The Clinton grifters will finally get their comeuppance. As Trump said “I haven’t begun on Hillary”

If Hillary isn’t afraid of a special prosecutor investigating her husband’s series of felonies, or of the FBI investigating her felonies, why should she worry about Trump? Unless the establishment backs Trump, her vote fraud machine should be able to create a win.

Donald is about to get a lesson in marketing...

He who controls the media gets their message out. He worked it well while the press used him to eliminate the rest of the GOP field.

Let’s see how it works for him now that the Press’s favorite Gal is his opponent.

McCain thought he had the press in the bag too. Right up until the day after the Primaries were over...

Hillary is a big-time Loser for the D party and the party bosses know it, they’re not stupid. They do NOT want to lose power, either!

They will find a way to replace her with a much better candidate, soon.

Trump is the only Republican Presidential candidate who has the nerve and financial resources to take on the Democrat vote fraud machine. Failure to confront their vote fraud cost Nixon the White House in 1960, and probably caused Ford’s defeat in 1976. You will need a phalanx of attorneys, legions of poll watchers, and large numbers of physical security men to deal with dozens of corrupt urban Democrat political machines from coast to coast. Cruz may have the nerve, but lacks the resources. Trump has both, irrespective of what the GOP-e does or doesn’t do.

But then you wonder how it will.happen.

Will hilllary get indicted? Will Hillary pull out due to health problems? Will something happen behind the scenes where Obama promised to pardon Hillary for crimes if she pulls out now?

Then what?, Democrats put up Biden or Pocahontas Warren? Certainly Dems would not go with Bernie Sanders if Hillary is not the nominee.

white working-class voters

Forgot to mention male, stupid, racist and a few other terms. The biggest problem is that even extending it to "white working-class" isn't broad enough to describe his support. "pissed off citizens" or maybe even "citizens" may do. Even some illegals probably see the advantages of a better economy.

“I think Trump could beat her like a tied-up billy goat,”
I love that visualization (even though I thing goats are great). You can replace Trump with Cruz, Rubio, or even Bernie and it would be great to picture.

Like him or not, Trump won’t hold back against Hillary like a RINO would. I hope he continually hauls every scandal skeleton out of her closet every time he confronts her.

Unlike McCain, Trump knows how to work the press

They cover Trump for the ratings, at the end of the day it about making money

If they are just going to run Hillary clips all day, people will turn that garbage off and go online, radio, newspapers, or whatever. Hillary shrill voice turns everyone off. No one wants to listen to that, not even BJ Clinton

He would smack her in the nose every day with her criminal past and the email server. He made that abundantly clear in his speech last night.

Perhaps they might do it “nicely”.. she pulls out for her quite apparent health problems, that takes the heat off the indictments and on his way out O slips in a pardon for the poor sick old lady.

Vice President Biden is the obvious normal heir apparent anyway and his ‘I’m not running now’ speech actually had all the flavor of a genuine campaigning speech for the job (as many commentators noted at the time). Biden could be the candidate. I VERY seriously doubt they’d run the fake Injun squaw. Too embarrassing and she has almost no constituency anyway. Biden could be. Bernie the Red could wind up the candidate, too, if only because he’s already running and he’s the only thing the D party has that generates any voter enthusiasm (and thus, turnout).

That’s all speculation, they could also pull another rabbit out of the hat but this next time I bet they’ll avoid selecting such an obviously anti-American as O. Too many voters are enraged and probably they realize they can’t really expect to get away with a stunt like that again anytime soon. Better to nominate someone who’s a lot more
American and conventional ... could be hard left maybe like Bernie but he’s still from NYC not Kenya nor Indonesia, and he doesn’t look flagrantly disloyal...

Of course, I personally hope they can find someone more politically “centrist” like... shudder....hate to have to say it..Bill Clinton’s politics (without his obvious marital difficulties). Or like JFK’s politics or HST’s politics, someone more centrist than hard-core-commie.

But, that may be like wishing upon a star...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Can you say specifically how and what cities or states?

I know voter fraud is rampant in the rat party but that’s a generalization.

(I was 15 during that election)

The 1960 election had vote fraud in Texas (LBJ land) and Chicago (Mayor Daley land).
