Yeah I know we're on opposite sides of the fence on this debate issue. Cant wait to discuss it afterwards. I just don't see how anyone can take someone like Trump to the cleaners. He is going to attack her and tell it like it is like we've never seen anyone do before. I sense a major disaster on the horizon and no way in hell is she looking forward to debating him. She'd love a Cruz or Kasich debate because it would be a typical debate with kid gloves, softball questions, hand shaking, and both will laugh about it backstage.
He's the most disliked politician according to polls. Protests at every single one of his rallies...they are happening for a reason, people loathe him.
Yeah we keep hearing this yet massive crowds are showing up everywhere he goes to support him and people are voting for him in droves. Hell... six people greeted Hillary at a Texas airport. I could fly to Texas and get more than six forum nerds in that state to show up at that airport. She refused to go over to those people and take pics when she had just been to an event where for 1200 bucks you could take a pic with her. This would be a great story for Trump to bring up in the debate....and then casually remind the audience that he paid her to go to his wedding.
Anything you may believe would hurt Hillary has already been tried, tested and covered to death by right wing media. It's only applicable to those who already hold the various accusations to be true. It's not going to sway anybody, only energize the base.
Its never been tried by someone like Trump at a debate that the entire world will be watching. Its completely different than the "right wing conspiracy" she loathes so much. That right wing is actually pulling for her this time. Trump isn't going to be aiming his "telling it like it is" approach to republicans....it'll be aimed at all Americans and they will be listening.
This isn't a typical blue/red election and I think more people will realize this the further we get into the general.
But that same base isn't being fully represented by Trump and they're freaking out. The GOP has been split into many different fractions over the years. Trump isn't going to bring them together, not with everything the GOP is planning against him right now.
He only needs to secure the nomination. Other than that, IMO he doesn't need to "rally the troops" like any other typical republican candidate. He is going to get votes from dems, repubs, independents,etc. and the media better be paying close attention to those "Reagan democrats".
Of course they're freaking out. Both sides are. They should be.
He has zero substance, zero plans, and often times can't give a straight answer.
Sounds like a description of just about any politician and Hillary is the last person who will give a straight answer. If she does give straight answers, I look forward to her answers when Trump grills her on those emails.
Once we get to the general we will hear more about both of their plans. That's basically how it always happens. Primaries mainly seperate the wheat from the chaff and there was too much chaff in this republican primary season. I'm wondering if it helped or hurt his rise. Maybe up against one or two from the start we would have seen different numbers. Too many people running and now he has a lot of momentum even though the media is saying the whole country hates him.
The electoral math is already poor for the GOP walking in the door. Are we really going to believe that somebody as polarizing as Trump is going to take states that Romney or McCain couldn't?
It's not the GOP walking in the door this time. He's not Romney, McCain or a typical republican partisan hack. The country has never experienced a candidate like this running for president and we are in uncharted waters.
Hell....people who usually don't give a rat's patootie about elections are paying attention because of Trump. I wonder how many of those are paying attention because of Hillary? I don't know the exact statistics but I do know it's somewhere near zero.
I do realize the electoral map is interesting. I've played around with it and there are scenarios where she can win obviously but there are also scenarios where he can not only win but can landslide this thing. It's too early to tell at the moment but if he secures the nomination, chooses Kasich as his VP(that gives him Ohio), first time voters flock to him, disenfranchised Bernie voters vote for Trump in protest, independents swing his way, Reagan democrats,etc. we could be looking at a Reagan landslide. I realize that would be best case scenario for Trump but it is not impossible.
Slightly off topic...I wish these dem primaries weren't rigged. Sanders deserved a fair crack at the nomination.
