Trump Will Win the Nomination

It works with a party that is basically OWGs. It won't work in an electorate that is diverse. If you think he'll be able to say, "I didn't really mean it" to Hispanics, Muslims, Jews and women, you are living in a dream world.

agreed that only works if you are Democrat.
 
It's going to become increasingly difficult for any candidate to gain real broad support in this country as we become more and more diverse. Even your average white guy from NC isn't all that similar to your average white guy in California. The two party system makes less sense as the years go by.

I've been saying this since the AOL Wake board. Having multiple parties makes governance easier and more likely. If Members of Congress don't have to worry about THE party hammering them, they are more likely to compromise and get work done.

Rj does the left ever do anything wrong ? do you wholeheartedly believe in every left position?
 
Ivanka Trump is way smarter than her brothers. Won't get into specifics, but readily acknowledges she doesn't agree with her dad on everything and that he's made mistakes during the campaign. That's perfectly rational and reasonable. Her brothers claim their dad's run a flawless campaign. Trump deserves a lot of credit for understanding GOP primary voters better than 16 hapless chuckleheads.

Trump can definitely win and his strategy is clear, but remains to be seen if ultimately it will be successful. Worked like a charm in the primaries when Jeb, Cruz, and Marco inexplicably acted like wedgies, swirlies, and pull my finger were futuristic MMA moves. Next POTUS runner up will be judged extremely harshly. Justifiably so for losing to a deeply flawed opponent.

It's the math.

How can he win getting less than 10% of the black vote; under 25% of the Hispanic vote and have a net -50 with women makes it impossible for Trump to win. Even if he gets it to losing women by one 10%, he gets trounced.

well if polls don't mean anything 6 months out as we were told when it showed Trump tied with Clinton. Is it possible the math can change and the polls you are referring to now also may not mean as much ? or is that crazy talk?
 
Silly to pretend it will be a landslide on either side or that either has zero chance at this point, especially with six months to go. Do think that Hillary wins with around 300 EVs. If Trump wins, he'll be slightly below 300 EVs.

Trump's latest claim is that he'll put 15 blue and purple states in play. CA & NY are the only two he explicitly mentioned. Widening the map is the correct (only?) GOP strategy for the future, which Reince correctly figured out post-2012.

Doesn't work for Trump specifically because Dems will have more cash and better organizations in swing states. Trump already shrunk his potential map by taking CA, NM, NV, and CO off the table and making AZ harder than it should be.
 
The better question is, does the Left ever do anything Right?

eh? ehh????

wakka wakka!

I really don't see how Trump can win, but if he does it will be a squeaker.....like 270-280.

If Hillary simply holds the 242 that Dems have gotten in each of the past six elections and adds FL, OH, VA, NM,NV, she'll be over 300.

I'd put the O/U for Hillary at about 315.

Remember something, Trump was not touched or challenged in the GOP primary. That's not going to happen starting in August.
 
I get them forwarded on every now and then and I have to imagine that if I'm getting them sent to me that lots of people are. I could be wrong though. Relying on those #anecdotes

This is not a horse race RJ, this is a horse's ass race.
 
What does Trump have to gain by going after Elizabeth Warren? Is he going to do this nickname thing for everyone that attacks him? Can't wait to see what he comes up with for the Obamas and Biden.
 
On a side note and off topic. I don't always know what constitutes thread worthiness but is this Katie Couric thing worth mentioning?
