Yes, clearly GOP candidate trailing Democratic candidate 45.3% to 42.5% in general election match-up polls of REGISTERED voters has no shot in the general election. Especially one that is running on a centrist and populist platform and is a master of media manipulation and is generating vastly increased enthusiasm and turnout on the GOP side compared to the past that is just as impressive as what Obama produced for Democrats in 2008. And running against a shrill, unlikable, criminal who is at some SMALL risk of actually paying for her crimes and very publicly under federal investigation. Keep telling yourselves whatever you need to to cope with your impending doom I guess.

Brannock posted:In other news I've been checking Trump's twitter waiting for him to retweet the Rubio Benghazi photo, but I realized he's probably not going to waste it tonight in the middle of the Nevada election results. He'll probably pop it off tomorrow afternoon or something. He'll wait until during/after the debate once Rubio throws out anything Trump can classify as an 'attack' so Trump can claim he's just counter-punching

I don't know if Trump is Truly Unstumpable but good on the Republican Party for declining to pursue any line of attack other than "he is rude, not serious and not a real conservative." Things will get fun after the RNC!

The Saurus posted:That stuff is also the reason why I call Hillary-supporters who vehemently attack Trump SJWs btw. Because they don't care about each candidate's policies and history, they only care about rhetoric. Just like SJWs care more about policing language, triggers and safe spaces than actually affecting real progressive change in the world. *while signing a bill granting complete financial support for children from age 0 to age 18, looks up, intently gazes at the camera lens* "Hitler... was good."

Brannock posted:Romney was much more involved in politics, even outside serving as Governor, than Trump has been until this point and had the establishment stink upon him. Romney also engages on the financial wizard side of capitalism, instead of Building Actual Things, and actively took over corporations to extract as much money out of them before running them into the ground. At first blush they're similar but ehhh. do you think any actual factual swing voter is going to drill down even close to that much? it's going to be WHEN TRUMP CAME TO TOWN *picture of shuttered casino* *picture of foreclosed home* *voiceover of woman forced into homelessness* then trump's voice saying WAGES ARE TOO HIGH paid for by priorities USA airing in the rust belt for three months and trump'll be lucky if he can break 40% Boosted_C5 posted:Yes, clearly GOP candidate trailing Democratic candidate 45.3% to 42.5% in general election match-up polls of REGISTERED voters has no shot in the general election.

Nichael posted:But as I said previously on this page, Trump's tacit approval of violence combined with his extremely dangerous anti-Muslim rhetoric should outweigh any of his (purely hypothetical) positives. I guess it's just shocking to me that people can either approve of such ideas, or dismiss them with a "nobody's perfect". They are so fundamentally discordant with how our society works, and they echo the beginnings of the worst crimes in humanity's history. If you don't have as strong an emotional reaction to those principles as I do, there's really not much else I can say because clearly we have extremely different values. A certain % of the population is always going to be down with massive racism or whatever but they usually keep a lid on it because they know it's condemned in general society. Trump makes them feel less alone and confident enough to speak up

Do some posters not realize they are in the United States or something? I have to imagine a lot of this is just a coping mechanism but the US is absolutely capable of election Trump. If you think otherwise you can triple your money on predictit right now, better hurry up though because it is going up by the day.

Lemming posted:This is kind of nonsense. Trump doesn't have a single policy beyond yelling "jobs!" and anybody who only pays attention at that level doesn't know what the gently caress TPP or NAFTA is so it doesn't matter. A Republican can't win without minority votes and Trump has explicitly been attacking minorities. Illegal Immigrants aren't a minority, bud. Even if you're one of those dumb liberals that thinks illegals = mexican and muslims = arabs, that still leaves black people, east and south asians and non-mexican hispanics. Here's a policy that Donald Trump has: Using the Federal Government to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies to reduce costs for the average American. Pretty good huh? How about legal marijuana at the federal level. How about investment in our crumbling infrastructure to create jobs and improve the economy. Just because you say he has no policies it doesn't make it true.

If we hit another recession or a Islamic terrorist bombs a stadium or something then sure, it's possible, but barring some sort of large event that shakes things up and hands the Republicans a free win it's very unlikely.

Like, there's a lot of arguments you can make but the idea that Hillary "dropped that War on Women stuff after Trump attacked her" is just so categorically false that I can only assume it comes from people who are only paying attention to the Republican Primary and only know of the Democrat Primary through that prism.

They have to win almost every swing state just to squeeze out a victory. Structurally they are at a major disadvantage and this country is as polarized as it's ever been. There are very few swing votes, it's all about turnout. And you better believe democrats will turn out to vote against trump even if they ran Rahm loving Emanuel for president.
