Trump loves the Clintons.Originally posted by SHOCKvalue View Post
I think he envies the total con that the Clinton Foundation has always been.
He wanted in on the action."Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should accomplish with your ability."

Man, you are an optimist. I can't get there with you. I liked Kasich (I liked Rubio better, and some others too) and thought he had a great message but there are too many (even on this board) who think he's notOriginally posted by ROOT ANGRY! View Post
conservative enough for them (they like Cruz who I can't get behind because of his Harvard type of attitude/ego who thinks that he is the only smart one in the room) and libs
who think that Kasich is not enough for limited government for their tastes (they prefer someone like Rand Paul or Cruz who I don't see uniting the coalition either. When
you get down to it, I think that the Dems continue to win, not because their message is great but because they "unite" better.Comment

I completely disagree. Just about any of the GOP candidates, perhaps other than Bush (two was enough) or Christie (a Dem in GOP clothes), would wipe the floor with Hillary in the general election because all those factions you mention understand how dangerous she is. The problem now is they see Trump as equally dangerous, unqualified or incompetent. Put someone on the ballot they can at least trust to be who he/she has purported to be and they would rally behind the cause.Originally posted by shockmonster View PostComment

Funny b/c Trump's electability was a key crutch for his apologists and advocates this Spring.Comment

USA Today.
"An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Thursday afternoon also showed Clinton with a significant lead: She had 47% and Trump had 38%.
In a four-way matchup, Clinton held on to her lead with 43% while Trump had 34%. Johnson had 10% and Stein had 5%."
At the rate Trump's number are dropping, Johnson and Stein together might start out polling him.:devilish:Comment

Quite a free-fall, isn't it? Tough to compete when you're consistently in the thirties.
The only one I can think of that's close is what happened to Dukakis' approval after his disastrous tank ride, Willie Horton, and the RNC.
(It's easy to forget he was leading polls by fifteen percent after his convention.)

Arizona.
At this point my hope is that Gary Johnson could win a couple states, keep Clinton and Trump from the necessary 270 electoral votes, and kick the decision to the House."Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should accomplish with your ability."

I believe they have to vote between the top 3 in the electoral college. Regardless of who wins will be a damaged goods, but if this goes to the House it will be epic melt down for somebody - and it wouldn't surprise me if Hillary could pull enough republican house members to give her the victory on House vote.Originally posted by tropicalshox View PostComment

Clinton's lead in RCP Polling Average widens to +7.5, largest margin since April. States like Georgia and Arizona are currently forecast to break for Clinton, and Clinton has a better chance of winning Utah than Trump does of winning Pennsylvania or Virginia. Instead of putting northeast states in play, as some suggested here this spring, it looks like Republicans may be forced to play defense in places like South Carolina.
The real question may be whether this colossally stupid and irresponsible nomination is enough to also gift wrap the Senate for the Dems. The House still looks safe for Republicans, but the safety net is shrinking as the cheetoh-skinned pariah continues to do exactly what he did during the entirety of the Republican primary (only now people are actually paying attention and his base does not hold disproportionate sway).
There needs to be some pretty serious soul searching when this is done for the Republicans to figure out their identity moving forward. The current equation does not appear to be a winning one now (targeting disenfranchised, less educated and disproportionately elderly whites), and it's a suicidal strategy from a long-term viewpoint given demographic trends.
Frustrating times for conservatives.Comment
