I don't personally believe Hillary can beat any of our candidatesI'd rather vote my conscious than base it on some liberals feelingsIt is meaningless. This board is infested by the extremes on both sides and imo is no reflection of how Americans feel in general. If they did reflect Americans thoughts Trump & Clinton would have easily won.I don't trust Rubio. I'll be happy if Cruz wins...but I'll say right now, I don't believe he can win a general election.
The liberals on this board are thrilled that Trump didn't win and Cruz did...that should tell you all you need to know.
It's not the feel...it's the electoral math. Cruz may be the best thing since sliced bread, but he is not competitive in more moderate states. If Cruz is the nominee, and he holds the red states...he MUST win Florida, Ohio, Virginia and North Carolina. The odds of that are slim.
Trump opens us PA, NJ, NH, MI, WI and CO. A lot better odds and a lot more for Hillary to defend.
That's why they celebrate.
Fair enough...hope your conscience brings you great consolation the day Hillary is inaugurated.
I didn't think Republicans would lose in 2012 either, but they did.
Why Romney Lost And Republicans Keep Losing
Gender Gap in 2012 Vote Is Largest in Gallup's History
The GOP's woman problem goes beyond Trump
Women are the largest voting block in this country today at 54%. They are excited about getting the 1st woman POTUS in 240 years, and they are going to be voting heavily for Hillary Clinton.
Then you have Trump and his supporters chasing off 17% of the population Hispanics when Republicans need at least 46% of this block to win the White House. Now Muslims and Jews are also in the Democrat column.
GOP Win Will Need More Than 40 Percent Of Latino 2016 Vote, Says Study
Poll: 75% of Latinos Have Negative View of Donald Trump
Latino conservatives: If Donald Trump is the nominee, we will not work to elect him
Republicans are the minority party at 41 million, Democrats are stronger at 46 million, and Independents are the largest party today, representing 40% of the entire electorate.
Hillary Clinton could easily win this election. With these numbers Republicans may not be able to hold onto the Senate and could lose a lot of seats in the house. As with Romney, his fate was sealed long before he won the nomination. The same thing could happen in 2016.
