Can't wait until Obama pulls Garland back midway through the election so Hillary can put in a far lefty justice.

I expect I'm in a small minority on having this opinion, but I think Hillary should sell herself and be positive more than attack Trump. There will be plenty of people to attack Trump.

Trump beat Cruz by 20 points in Indiana after a mere 2 weeks in the state, if you think he think has no chance given some preliminary polling right now you are sadly mistaken. Fully expect Trump to steamroll Hillary in the general after some campaigning.
Every four years the 2 + 2 general election thread proves to be a wonderful treat as wave upon wave of hopecasting like the above crashes upon the rocks of reality, i.e. polling data and stuff. Roll on a long hot summer.

Haha. No. People in this forum do much much more research and discussion of politics than the general population.
It's like 98% white males here, which is Trump's only plus demographic. Romney got 27% of Latino vote. Trump has no prayer of reaching that after calling them rapists and wanting mass deportation. Romney was extremely popular with married women.

The only women Trump doesn't disgust are those who call him dad or those in possesion of his credit cards. He has an almost impossible path that requires a black swan or flipping Ohio, Pa, and Fla, while somehow not losing high Latino generally red states. Hillary h2h 54-41 over Trump in poll released today. And all indications are that this is possibly the most static divide ever unlikely to flip. Both have 100% name recognition already and opinions are very solid for this early in the process.

The media will be done patting him on his orange head at this point. Last week when he said Hillary had bad judgement on Iraq, unlike him, they let him slide. Next week when he repeats it, they'll ask him wtf he's on about and drag out his on record approval of the war at the time. They'll press him and he'll lose his ****. Warren is already at work reeling in the Bernie crowd.

He's drawing to multiple domestic terrorist attacks or some other unforeseen black swan.

John Kasich gave us this, and we owe him a debt of gratitude for it.

I mean, this ffs

The ads quite literally write themselves. You don't even need the spooky music or shadowy imagery or to be in any way misleading, just roll the ****in tape and then stamp "I Hildawg approve this message" onto the end

I fine with Hillary though. That's basically one of her potential GE slogans:
"Fine with Hillary"
"Hillary: Not That Bad"
"Hillary's OK"
"Hillary Works Hard"
"Hillary: Obama Approved"
I like "Hilary: Sounds like Hitler but actually not the same person."

Trump announces that Dr. Ben Carson will lead his VP search committee.

So it's just me and ikes that think two plus two demographics is not good source to gauge trump support. Yes most are white males here. However, most here are engaged in politics, younger, smarter(?) So it's much different that a "white male" demographic.

I don't think trump will win but it's not going to be a blowout and this thread and the 270 prediction thread shows this forum is in an internet liberal fairytale. Go talk to normal ****ing people outside of your social circles. You will be fearfully surprised.

So to summarize simplictus' TRUMP beliefs:

1) worth 1/10 of what Bill Cosby is (so around 40 million dollars)
2) killed several prostitutes
3) Gets hater$ incredibly mad
05-04-2016 , 01:24 PM
Wasn't killing a prostitute one of the challenges on the Apprentice?

Let's see, I (and many others on this forum) was dismissive of the party because they are anti-science, anti-facts, and straight up racist. But because we need two sides to every argument they had to be taken "seriously." Now they've chosen Donald Trump, who has done north but espouse the above characteristics, as their nominee - which one of us was vindicated?

Pollsters have. Trump is the least popular candidate to ever win a major party nomination.

IMO doing the positive thing doesnt work. Even Sanders couldnt avoid going negative. And TRUMP that has attacked everyone blasts them out of the field.
05-04-2016 , 01:26 PM
Looking forward to hearing about TRUMPMENTUM and SKEWED POLLS. LOL media, this is going to be a massacre.
05-04-2016 , 01:30 PM
So what would it take to declare a state of emergency for 4 years and just leave Barack in office? If its not that bad it might be worth rooting for.

Insofar as Sanders went negative it didn't help. It was a little bit of a hail mary.

Trump is going to win with idiots who think that his nicknames are funny. There's no stopping that. There are a lot of people who don't want to vote against someone who will sit on the couch. Hillary needs to get some of them voting for her.
05-04-2016 , 01:51 PM
But TRUMP's nicknames are funny! Low Energy Jeb was terrific. Little Marco was pretty solid, but IT'S RUBIO was incredible

05-04-2016 , 01:52 PM
That's stupid, not funny.
05-04-2016 , 01:52 PM
He's got some work to do though on Hilldawg. Crooked Hillary just isn't going to cut it, needs something a lot more incisive.

No snark at all. Go grab a map, start adding up states he can win in the GE.

It's really freaking hard to find a way for him to even compete.
05-04-2016 , 01:53 PM
If Trump can kill half as many ISIS members as he has prostitutes terrorism will be a thing of the past.

"Your party nominated Donald Trump" is more succinct.
