Incidentally, is it mathematically (not practically, I know that ship's sailed) possible for him to stop Trump, at this point?

Like, I know the math looks awful for him right now.

But didn't the math for him becoming the nomination look awful for him a matter of a month or two ago? I feel like we keep doing this song and dance, and if it's him or Hillary in the general, I worry that so many Republicans people are expecting to stay home or vote for nobodies will hold their noses and do the Don.

The math has never looked awful for Trump, he's been in the lead for the nomination since the very minute he jumped in the race.

This is absolute revisionist history.

Just a reminder, but the USPol hivemind has been wrong EVERY TIME when it came to the republican nominee, especially with Donald Trump.

I will not surprised at all when polling later on the general election starts turning towards Trump. Not trying to arzy here, just saying that if that does happen and USPol clutches its pearls I'm gonna be wondering why anyone was surprised.

In the meantime let us join together and fiddle in the glow of the rising flames!

Honestly we were sort of doing our own "unskew those polls" thing but that isn't an issue in the general so far.

Before anyone celebrates too much we should remember that a lot could happen between now and november. What if both Hillary and Bernie were hospitalized for illness? What if Trump's general election strength isn't actually as illusory as we might assume?

On the other hand, for all of his irresponsible statements, he's still leagues better than any of the other republicans in the running would have been. The sweetest part about all of this is that it represents a full-scale national rout of social conservatism the likes of which hasn't been seen for 40 or more years, if ever.

Isn't it just a rout of social conservatism in favor of even more explicit FYGM-ism? At least until the Don (or a successor down the line, if he keeps it close this year) gets routed in the general. That doesn't exactly make me swell with anticipation.

I could see her loving up and losing Florida and maybe Ohio. Or winning both but somehow blowing what should be an easy VA win though it wouldn't matter in that case. :shrug:

If I was runing Clinton's campaign I'd have a shitload of manpower focused in to Ohio and Florida because taking either, let alone both, means she wins and taking both means she wins unless she can do something like lose PA, VA, WI, and maybe some other states she should carry easier than OH or FL.

We early on didn't think this would happen because eventually the GOP would have had to get Trump out the paint, but nope they waited until waaaay to late in the game. The second he crushed in NH it legitimized him.
