DemeaninDemon posted:The attack ads write themselves and every sane politician regardless of affiliation will be out saying don't vote Trump. Well every Republican candidate just said they would support Trump, so, no, I don't think so.

You guys shouldn't be so arrogant that Hillary will defeat Trump in a general election. He could easily win.

Trump softens the rhetoric. Hillary has a crisis he drags in front of the country. He wins.

I am growing increasingly terrified that traditionally blue states will flip to Trump due to Clinton's terrible favorability polls.quote:To be sure, Trump has historically high unfavorable ratings for a general election candidate. He could end up turning out high numbers of Democrats who find him disgusting. Clinton has held a lead over Trump in national polling averages for six months. But his “ceiling” of support has slowly inched upward, and he hit 50 percent support among Republicans for the first time in one poll this week. While Clinton admits she’s not a natural politician, Trump delivers his stump speech like a comedian, playing to the mood and rhythm of the crowd. And unlike most Republicans, Trump can attack Clinton for her ties to Wall Street, the source of so much anger across party lines. https://newrepublic.com/article/131537/dont-sure-hillary-clinton-will-crush-donald-trump

Shimrra Jamaane posted:No blue state is going to flip red for Donald loving Trump JFC. Why is not a possibility that Democrats don't vote for Hillary thinking that she'll inevitably win? Like, "I'm not voting for her because I don't like her but I don't want Trump to win".

Epic High Five posted:Trump needs to win like 70% of white people to win, which would be a record turnout. On top of that, he can't even get 50% of white women. It's really a grim outlook for him Anything can happen. It's not impossible that he wins over white women.

The most recent poll had Clinton up on Trump by six points. I don't care what anyone says, that is not a lot of room.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:First of all polls have her up by much more than 6. http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/2016-general-election-trump-vs-clinton How is this link in any way positive for Hillary? It shows him closing on her by a significant amount.

Tell me more about that Clinton landslide.quote:Half of all voters said they would be scared if Mr. Trump were elected president, and another 19 percent said they would be concerned. Mrs. Clinton does not fare much better: Thirty-five percent of all voters said they would be scared if Mrs. Clinton won in November, and 21 percent said they would be concerned. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/22/us/politics/republican-democratic-voters-poll.html

FAUXTON posted:13 points nationwide is generally considered a landslide, but it's cool you left out the part where they talked about how many Republicans were embarrassed over Trump. That gap is going to narrow by a general election. They always do.

Here's my concern about Trump: People forget things. People forget what happened last week. Trump doesn't need to soften his stance. He needs to just stop saying stupid poo poo, (which is entirely possible). Swing voters all of a sudden think, "hey, he may not be so bad". Do we really think anyone is going to remember what Trump said about abortion six months from now?

Zeroisanumber posted:LOL, no. He gets away with it because he's running a primary campaign and the GOP base is made up of the worst people in America. He's going to get shredded in the general. At this point I'm even chill with the bro-est of Bernie Bros because even Bernie could beat the dogshit out of him. For the love of god, please stop saying this as though it is a given.

Electric Bugaloo posted:IDK dude, like a good ~70% of Americans have a negative opinion of the guy, up from 60% a few weeks ago. And this is before the Dems have really done any oppo campaigning against him. People will vote for someone they have a negative view of as long as the alternative is worse.
