Trump would get shellacked in a general contest with Hillary as his opponent. He'd get his rear end kicked by Sanders too, although probably by a tighter margin. The guy is majorly negative with every single voter demographic that isn't old white men.

Brooks is a lovely little apologist for plutocrats, Krauthammer a blood-soaked imperialist running dog, and Douthat a fatheaded chauvinist. But yeah, I agree that Will on politics is the worst of them.

Thing is that some of those country club republicans are voting Trump too because he's the only candidate preaching a return to white political hegemony. And the idea of White Man On Top Forever gets your average Judge Smails-type rock hard.

Night10194 posted:I'm never that confident because I will forever remember, as a kid, my parents being gleeful they'd picked that 'idiot' George W. Bush and how the GOP was doomed now. W was the governor of Texas who had a major political dynasty at his beck and call with the entire GOP united behind him early on. Even so, he'd have lost if Gore had played his cards better and SCOTUS hadn't come charging to his rescue. Trump will be crushed. If he's seriously the nominee then we should concentrate on wrapping up the Dem nomination as early as possible and start talking about downticket races.

The doom and gloom on this thread is like icing on top or the Trump-brand cake. If you guys can't be happy about the fact that the GOP base has finally gone mad and placed an obvious donkey at the head of their ticket, then you all seriously need an attitude adjustment. Donald Trump will never be president.

Anchor Wanker posted:Is it at all possible, assuming Cruz cans his run, that Rubio could rally Cruz's supporters and his Establishment people to get a majority over Trump? Are Cruz's people likely to go to Rubio over Trump? What if it was the other way around and Rubio dropped? Would the establishment support Cruz despite hating his guts? The crossover from Cruz people to Rubio people probably isn't high enough to challenge Trump. At this point they're holding out hope that Trump stumbles badly before Super Tuesday, but holding out hope for Trump to self-destruct hasn't proved to be a winning strategy so far.

My dad is a somewhat moderate/conservative Democrat who is crotchety about Millenials not voting and blaming them constantly for letting Republicans win in elections, that they play too many video games to be bothered to vote and other hyperbolic bullshit. I'd like to retort with actual statistics on this. As a demographic, young people are poo poo about getting out to vote, especially in off-year elections.

Satchel and Trunk posted:So, regardless of how many states Trump takes what are the current odds that the RNC just says "gently caress it" and changes the rules arbitrarily to deny him the nomination? Seems to me the party rulers are screwed regardless of how it swings from here on out... Thing is, Trump has said that if he feels that he's being treated unfairly by the party that he reserves the right to run as an independent. Beyond that, the GOP establishment has fumbled their handling of Trump in every single way since he blew up after the first debate. There's no reason to believe that they'll suddenly become ruthlessly efficient in handling him now that he's the prohibitive front runner.
