Last general election poll I saw has hypothetical Hildawg nominee beating hypothetical TRUMP nominee by 8 points among registered voters (MOE is 3). Not sure how to reconcile that to all the feels itt about TRUMP'S inevitability

Not even sure Sando is truly a Trump supporter. You guys are handing out such great odds to him he may just be arbing all of 2+2 right now. Would explain why he's trying to get so much action down on the Trump side here.

I would think Drumpf will suffer worse amongst the party faithful since Democrats are more united behind Hillary than Republicans are behind Drumpf. I wouldn't be surprised if independents favor Drumpf over Hillary but I expect a large portion of those folks will just stay at home in disgust over the choice. Even if they can't stand Hillary or Drumpf the idea of going out and actually casting a vote in favor of the other is really distasteful.

The thesis is that tons of people have no idea who he is despite all the media attention and/or he can completely reinvent himself as a non-racist and still be popular because people will forget all this. The support for this relies primarily on the fact that Trump had horrible unfavorable ratings among GOP voters upon his announcement before saying anything that improved to build a passionate coalition of racists upon actually saying things. Pay no attention to the fact that while his favorability has improved compared to last summer, he's still massively underwater among all voters (-40ish to -23 now).

Kasich is the real jerk of the Republican Party. Rubio would be in way better shape if he went home by now

Ben Carson is essentially dropping out. Won't take part in the next debate and says he sees no political path forward.

It could be that a Cruz staffer just hacked Ben Carson's site though.

Kasich's role is to win Ohio so the Republican Party can get to a brokered convention.

I would probably offer a derivative based on shark sandwich not fulfilling his obligations.

Meaning I would be on the side that he will fulfill all action he is taking.

I would just like it noted for the record that yesterday 491,896 people in this country voted for Ben Carson
