Not nearly as weak as Reagan was against Carter this time in 1980. How did that turn out?


Trumpers need to dispense with the 1980’s fantasy. Because it’s no way applicable to 2016. Reagan was running against an unpopular incumbent without a near 70 percent negative rating with much different demographics

Reagan carried many states that Trump nor Cuz will carry.

I’m not saying Trump will lose for sure. I just doubt if he will win.

“I’m not saying Trump will lose for sure. I just doubt if he will win.”


That is a large part of the reason that I no longer support Cruz to be the nominee. Of course I will vote for him in November if he is, and I’ll try my damnedest to get others to do so as well, but I think that Cruz will lose almost for sure...whereas Trump has a real shot at it (IMHO) because he is a very different kind of candidate. He will be on the offensive against Hillary from Day 1, and won’t relent until the votes have been counted - and Hillary can’t deal with that. That inability is the one and ONLY advantage that Republicans have - they are ALWAYS attacked, with the media being silent at best, if not joining in. Dems can’t handle the stress - look at how Hillary and Bill STFU after Trump was attacked for being exploitative of women, and responded by attacking Bill for being uber-exploitative, and Hillary for enabling him. They can’t handle it, and Trump dishes it out like candies at Halloween.

Just my $0.02.

Yeah, we need to start preparing for this likely result and do averything possible to hold on the Congress. I just don’t see any way that ANY GOP candidate wins this year.

Then Mitt and Ryan it is then.
