Montasque posted:This was one of the "strongest" Republican fields in decades. Cruz, Rubio, and Christie were well hated by their own party. Find me any analogies like this for the 08 or 12 primary field. Even Huckabee and Tancredo were well liked and looked more presidential than these three who are major candidates this go around. Perry AND Christie were facing indictments going into the race. Their #1 used to be a blue dog dem ffs.

Firebert posted:People assumed that the 'strongest GOP field in history' would have produced one or two candidates capable of dealing with a megalomaniac fraud; that it didn't occur is largely the fault of the other lovely candidates and the party, not with the prediction. TROIKA CURES GREEK posted:I think joe said it best, i think it was joe anyway: if trump wins the primary basically throw everything you think you know straight out the window because we've entered crazy town. Basically politics switched places with wrestling, leaving Joementum as the Paradol Ex of this cycle. Pex was actually pretty avant-garde in noticing the similarities between the two, he just assumed they would bleed over into each other quicker than they did. What I'm saying is that if Trump is smart he'll make an appearance at Wrestlemania this year.

Despera posted:Is there any argument other than "your opinion is poo poo" that this wasn't a strong field? The argument is that Donald J Trump, of Trump Steaks fame, noted Manhattan reality TV star, casino/hotel owner, and spray-tanned billionaire has vanquished a number of sitting governors and senators. They were vanquished like dogs. Sounds like a low-energy field to me.

Trump will overwhelm Hillary with attacks she will be unable to counter and Bill will pass away after a scathing attack from Trump, people will associate his departure from this world to Trump rhetorically destroying him, and then its a coinflip on November 7.

User posted:You do realize that Romney would have won with like 3% more of the white vote, right? Obama won 55% of women in 2012. A Quinnipiac Poll found Trump had a 66% unfavorability rating among women in Ohio. Obama won 71% of Latinos in 2012. A Univision poll found that Trump had an 80% unfavorability rating among Latinos. PoCs and women know what white men mean when they say Americans voting for Americans; polls show that the majority of them aren't buying it.

Majorian posted:"Political correctness" = not treating other people like poo poo for no reason other than that you really, really want to say the n-word. There were some pretty great polls released last year on perceptions of political correctness in America. "NY Times posted:Over all, 68 percent agreed that political correctness was a big problem, including 62 percent of self-identified Democrats, 68 percent of independents and 81 percent of Republicans. These views cut across racial lines. Seventy-two percent of whites and 61 percent of nonwhites (mostly African-American and Hispanic) describe political correctness as a big problem. A Rasmussen poll in August found that 71 percent of 1,000 adults surveyed agreed with the statement that political correctness was “a problem in America today.” That sure is a lot of people who just really really want to say the n-word!

Despera posted:Kasich, walker? Walker made serious strategic errors. He entered way too late (July!), showed a severe lack of charisma in his speeches, and then seemed to follow Trump's weird Latinophobic positions like a puppy. He had no chance. Kasich doomed himself by being too hard-line on social issues like women's health, and not hard-line enough on stuff like immigration reform or expanding Medicaid. Also he didn't differentiate himself from Jeb that much and also entered too late (also July).
