Trump will win the GOP nomination.

Totally.

I haven't the time, or inclination, to go back and forth with the delusional right wingnut lunatics in this thread.

To me, its like wasting time beating my head against a wall of abject stupidity.

But, keep fighting the good fight. Your posts are spot on. *tips hat*

 

Those bookies have already factored in T-Rump winning the GOP nomination and his odds against either Hillary or Bernie and they still don't see his chances at better than 40% tops.

T-Rump still has to run against himself and beat his own bloated ego back into 2nd place before he stands a chance against any Dem candidate. T-Rump has nothing but his bloated ego so he can't win that match and thus he will lose the GE because of his own self inflicted ego handicap.

 

What happened when McCain and Romney tried to move to the center?

First off they discovered that Obama had beaten them to it and secondly they were dragged back to the extremist right by their own supporters.

If T-Rump wants to abandon the extremist rightwingers and move to the center he is going to need to grow a thicker skin because he will find himself dealing with far less forgiving audiences who won't settle for the pablum he has been spoon feeding his primary audiences.

 

Wait a minute...Romney is a "severe conservative" we were told...

 

Yes, both Mittless and T-Rump suffer from Stage 4 "severe conservatitis".

One of the primary symptoms of that advanced stage of the disease is that both believe that having a lot of money entitles them to become POTUS. Their extreme condition makes them believe that being POTUS gives them the right to exploit We the People in order to enrich themselves and blinds them to the fact that the position of POTUS actually means to serve We the People.

While it is true that "severe conservatitis" is not an STD it is usually only found amongst those on the extreme right. There is no known cure and treatment is limited to very large doses of public ridicule. Apparently an immunity to logic and science is what makes this disease to difficult to treat.

Anyone with the disease can continue to live a "normal" life but one of the primary Stage 4 symptoms is that they isolate themselves from reality and ordinary people and live in a gilded bubble world of their own making.

 

It's almost like the republicans and democrats are competing to see who can avoid being elected president, and each time the republicans win.

You think the democrats have it in the bag then the republican's pull out a surprise game changer:

2008 — Palin
2012 — Romney

... and it's looking like they'll play the Trump card in 2016.

No they havent, or Rubio's odd would be 1000/1. Look i dont care, fool yourself as much as you like. We were all told Trump wouldnt run, then he'd get out after a few weeks, then he could win the nom .... now he cant beat Killery 'youtube did it' Clinton. Time will tell.

 

Mitch McConnell: Republicans will drop Trump ‘like a hot rock’ if he wins the nomination.....

Normally at this point in the election cycle the GOP would be gearing up for attacks on their anticipated Democratic rival for the White House. But party leaders are so distraught at the idea of the blustery businessman heading the ticket, that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has taken to advising candidates to keep their distance from Trump.

According to the New York Times, McConnell is assuring Senate candidates running for reelection that they should feel free to run ads against Trump if they feel he is hurting their own campaigns. According to senators attending private lunches with the Majority Leader, McConnell is taking the approach that Trump will lose badly in the general election and that senators should sell themselves as a bulwark against a Hillary Clinton presidency.

Pointing out that he still won easily when President Bill Clinton was reelected, McConnell reportedly told colleagues that the party will drop Trump “like a hot rock” if he is the nominee.....snip~

Looks like the Military won't be the only ones ignoring Trump, huh?

 

Jeff Sessions Endorses Trump

 

Lolz at citing bookies.

What were Trumps odds last year?

 

Maybe, but Romney refused to hit Obama at key times.

I remember one debate performance where he had Obama on his heels-if he had kept that up in the debates and on the election trail he would have won-it was his to lose and he chose to lose.

 

Voter turnout for dems is low, dems themselves aren't happy with the coronated canks, her negatives are only getting worse, and its exceedingly unlikely that any party wins 3 consecutive presidential elections.

And then theres the fact that Trump is sucking the oxygen out of the room.

I suspect they know this, but you know how lefties are-they never give an inch. Once canks loses they will talk about how they knew all along it was going to happen.

 

McTurtle knows his days are numbered. This will backfire.

 

if nothing else professional politicians are "adaptable" . I am sure you have noticed the number of establishment GOP who are suddenly attaching their cart to Trump. By 16 March they will all be sharing a drink with Trump. The old anger denial acceptance thing

 

DNC probably feels like it is on a roller coaster that peaked in 08 and is now at the bottom of the hill with the first four turnout numbers. I am not sure hillary will still be in the race by the end of May. Buddy of mine who knows a lot more than I do thinks the FBI will be issuing a statement this month. AG Lynch is going on FOX tomorrow night, now is anyone idiot enough to think the email stuff is not going to come up? Tinfoil hat theory but what if hillary gets lions share of delegates but is forced to drop out over legal issues prior to the convention and there is a brokered convention. Biden ? Bloomberg ? Kerry ? Gore? roll the dice. Hillary graciously drops out, the DNC awards the golden crown, Obama issues a blanket pardon and hillary is allowed to keep the clinton foundation Everyone wins except the Bernie fringe

 

If Trump get's the majority of votes during the Primaries and the GOP dropped him.....it would be a disaster for the GOP.

Trump would run as an Independent and Clinton would easily win in a 3 way race.

It will never happen. If the FBI wanted to indict they would have done it already. This is a dead horse

 

"Make it so."

 

That's definitely what would happen.

Trumps ego would never allow him to win the voters majority then not be Nominated and then drop out.

He would run as an Independent.

AA

 

I definitely agree.

I just want that to happen so badly, I can almost taste it.

 

Thing is.....it could do the exact opposite.

It might rally millions to Trumps side.

50/50 call.

AA

 

You don't really think Trump can win as an independent in a 3-way race, do you?

Hell...I have no doubt whatsoever that Bernie would beat him as the Democratic nominee in that situation.

 

If there is one thing that could swing disenfranchised voters and anti-establishment and anti-status quo voters it would be the GOP refusing to Nominate a runner with the vast majority of the vote.

It might or might not rally millions.

You never know with such things.

Untested waters.

AA

 

How's that?

3/4 of the Republicans already despise Trump...a brokered convention wouldn't make them change their minds. Certainly, he wouldn't get any sympathy f***ks from Democrats (most of whom would probably be so giddy, they'd skip to the polls). A lot of independents would think, "This is why I hate the system," and stay home...the rest would be divided 3 ways, with Democrats probably getting the lion's share, as always.

It would be a beautiful thing, and sure things don't get any surer than that.

I'd bet my palace on it.

 

might happen but probably not. The RNC is pretty weak when it comes to walking it like they talk it. Most likely what will happen is they will try every trick in the book and if it doesn't work.....accept it. They will put the effort into the senate and getting infiltrators into trumps administration to steer him.

They endorse Hillary and the RNC will be lost forever. I dont see the DNC embracing a bunch of career RNC establishment types either. Plus they are not going to just throw in the towel with the power they currently have. Trump knows this.

From what I have seen from trump so far he will outthink them every step of the way using tactics they never even considered and he will rebrand the party. he already has the base and the establishment is splitting more every day. It will be nice for conservatives because they will actually have a party again.

Democratic party wont change a bit and will still be run by a bunch of corrupt radicals for a while until they fail enough that a new pro american breed of democrats come up the ranks.

This GOP primary at heart for conservatives is about party reform more than anything else. In the GE its going to be overall government reform. One of the most brilliant things trump said the last couple of days is opening up the lawsuits for A the lies and dishonesty propaganda in the media. We would actually be able to watch the news again! Trump is going to save journalism!

what Trump has done so far is nothing short of amazing. I dont think many here really understand his thought process and playbook on how to get things done. I dont want to get into,it too much because its working so well and part of it is the confusion on what to do next. His skills are really off the charts. best I have ever seen. There is a lot going on under that hair. He would have been a great general on the battlefield. Very, very smart.
