Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have already turned their sights to each other. You heard that after New York last Tuesday night. You’ll hear it again tomorrow night… I’ve consistently said throughout the analysis of this race that I would not want to run against Donald Trump because I think he’s the most dangerous candidate. Give me Ted Cruz, give me John Kasich, give me any of the vanquished they’re traditional politicians, easy to beat. And, Ted Cruz, in particular, way outside the mainstream. Donald Trump, when you look from what he said the other day about the gender bill and using the bathrooms, it proves that point because he knows how to appeal to not only Libertarians but to Independents who support that, too. So it will be a very, very tough candidate to face in a general election. I think it will be one of the closest elections we see since 2000.

Okay Nostradamus.
You have to love the opinionators. They know for sure what will happen and they tell us 100 different ways why we cannot win.
Not many have the winning attitude. When you want to win you have to work a lot for it and go through a lot of grief to win. It is real easy to say why you can’t do something that way you need not get off your ass and put some effort into it. Losing is for the lazy and the parasites.
I prefer to win. By October Trump will be running as if unopposed. You heard it here first!
Think about this.
Cruz/Kasich are merging campaigns in order to stop Trump.
By doing this they have conceded they cannot win the nomination. I doubt they would merge if they thought they could win the nomination. I don’t see them saying to each other that if one of them wins the other will just go along with it.
They are going into this pact admitting to the world they have lost and are asking people to vote for two losers.
This is madness. Americans like winners. They like to win. How can Cruz/Kasich possibly believe they will get more votes to lose?
Simply nuts!
“Cruznadians are skating on thin ice. Jim said there will be no Trump bashing here.”
I thought he said he didn’t want anyone promising to stay home if Trump were the candidate? Seriously. There is a difference.
And no matter who ‘our’ candidate is in November, I wouldn’t want to see staying home promoted here either.
Yeah, saw new poll he’s within 3% (MOE 11) against Hitlery. RNC situation is very disconcerting, I like how they say Trump can’t beat HRC when the whole time they really just want to hold on to their gravy-train.
This is all about the gravy train and nothing more.
Well this I can tell you. The New York primary was closed which meant that only registered NY Republicans could vote in it. There are millions upon millions of Independents and conservative-leaning Democrats who could not vote for Trump in last week’s primary. But they will come out in force this November. Especially if Trump’s opponent is a washed-up carpetbagging fake New Yorker.
Please name a single blue or purple state that Cruz will turn red.
The question you should ask is how many red states Trump will turn blue. Start with Georgia, Arkansas, Tennessee, Indiana and Kentucky. Following debates, more follow. The Senate becomes Democrat majority again.
Cruz runs significantly better against Clinton in every poll. He holds the Senate, he wins Nevada and Colorado.
I underestimated Trump’s weakness..he even loses Arizona to Clinton by 7%.
Trump won all the states on your list whose primaries have been held. He's ahead in Indiana polls, I believe. So what is the basis of your argument, other than wishful thinking?
The fall polls. He loses to Clinton in states Romney and McCain won. Trump would lose on a scale comparable to Landon, Goldwater, McGovern and Mondale.
The fall polls are lies. The pollsters are trying to get a weak candidate nominated. I don't know how much contact you have with the "elite" sector, but I can tell you that 99.9% of them are all in for globalism. If they're "conservative" they're either libertarian globalists or neocon globalists. They hate Trump with the fiery hate of a billion suns. They are lying. Trump is the strongest candidate since Reagan. That I can tell you.
Candidates don’t come any weaker than Trump. He is the one the Democrats, particularly Clinton, wanted to run against all along.
That's why the media is publishing so many positive stories about Trump. /s
Trump can win Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida and New Hampshire. What states that Romney lost can Cruz or Kasich win?
Ironically the total long shot, Kasich, actually might win Ohio. Which isn't enough to win the election, but at least he's got that going for him. Whereas the favorite of the dwindling NeverTrump dead end brigade, Ted "Hosehead" Cruz, can't flip a single state.
Which, in case 2012 is too far back for you to remember, means that Cruz can't possibly win. Making him the weakest candidate running.
Trump doesn’t stand a chance in Pennsylvania or Ohio. He loses Arizona, Utah, Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri. Cruz can win at least Ohio, Colorado, New Mexico, Florida. Kasich wins Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Florida.
Florida residents here say otherwise, and he lost Florida to Trump. Colorado is trending liberal, not much chance of a far right candidate winning there. Ohio is blue collar state hurt by globalism, perfect for Trump. A Texas evangelical is a complete non-starter there. Any Republican will win Utah, including Trump. Trump can also win Pennsylvania.
We’ll see in the fall. With Trump is the nominee, we are doomed to another Clinton administration.
Trump will blast through his ceiling with general election voters the same way he blasted through his ceiling with GOP voters. He's the strongest candidate of either party since Reagan.
