What Went Down In The Indiana Primary


he Electoral College contributes to this. How many states can we expect to be competitive in the fall? In a normal year, that list is probably limited to New Hampshire, Ohio, Colorado, Wisconsin, and Florida. Maybe Virginia, Iowa and North Carolina. In a bad year for Republicans, Missouri and Indiana. Some of the variation in those states will come down to turnout; in a presidential year, the Democrats have a bit of an advantage while Republicans do better in a midterm year. In others, especially Iowa and Wisconsin, there’s some evidence to suggest that they’re not so much moderate as balanced between fairly committed liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans. It’s not clear what the incentives to pivot to the center will be.

And the challenge for Trump goes beyond a standard ideological pivot.

Folks, it is all about this being Presidential year. Donald Duck has energized the Hispanics. He has alienated the Blacks and he has infuriated Women! HE WILL LOSE!
 
What Indiana meant was that the democrats are telling the party, they don't want Mrs. Tuzla Clinton.

What it meant was the Republicans are telling the RNC they are tired of the establishment.

Trump has been finished so many times in the minds of the liberal left it isn't funny anymore.

Trump will win, which might or might not be a sad testimony of the state of US politics. But if it is we only have the democrats to blame.

I read an article from CBS and they were interviewing people exiting polls in Indiana, people are angry at the government and establishment politicians...that's why Trump is winning

For some, Trump is like a hidden image in a stereogram, one of those pictures that you have to stare at to see another image. The OP can't see the hidden image, and he may never see it, even when he watches the inauguration of Trump. It's weird.

Yes indeed. It's all over for Trump. He's finished. Again.
 
Trump's entire campaign has been directed at working-class White men. This is a population that did not come out to vote for Mitt Romney, and statistical analysis indicates that if they had come out in large numbers, they could have been the deciding factor in a Romney victory.

Working class White men are a large enough bloc WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY to carry the day for The Donald, despite the fact that the Republican Party wants nothing to do with him. One might also note the working-class White men also make up a fairly large bloc in the Democrat party, and private-sector union Leaders are going to be embarrassed as hell in November when their rank&file come out and vote for Trump in droves, in spite of the Leaders' pleas that they vote for HRC.

Trump will also grab a fairly significant bunch of Sanders voters when HRC's grab is finalized.

So...

Will Trump's 80% of working-class White men (and a smattering of others) be sufficient to overcome
  • the masses of women who will vote for HRC just because she has a vagina (reportedly),
  • the masses of colored people who vote for any Democrat because they want more government goodies,
  • the masses of "Hispanics" who will vote for HRC because they are too stupid to realize that the illegals are preparing to eat their lunch,
  • the masses of government employees who know which side of their bread is buttered,
  • the masses of academics and entertainers who are too brain dead to see reality,
  • et cetera?
I don't think so. There are not enough of us, and there are lots of working-class White men like me who have taken the "Never Trump" pledge.

Truly, it is time for a military coup in this country. We've never had one.

Because conservatives like Bernie more than Hillary...which at first seems totally odd.
But Hillary is a corporatist/elitist. At least Bernie is not that.
In Indiana, Democrats are Blue Dogs - and any Blue Dog that knows even the smallest amount about politics is most definitely not a fan of Hillary.
 
.....yawn. Get the nurse to change your bedpan. You are cranky as hell this morning. Sorry about Indiana.

Six months ago the loons were screaming he will never be the nominee!!! But here we are
lol. you have the loons on the wrong side.

six months ago reasonable people underestimated the number of loons
Loons always think the problem is with the other guy.

Fail.
sorry, donald trump would be a terrible president. voting for him on the strengths of his insults makes his supporters either terrible people or loons. you pick.

That's your claim and if you are god now is the time to prove it. You don't get to decide why I support or oppose a candidate. You are full of shit.

Still fail.

Just sayin, ANY Democrat that votes for Hillary is beyond me. Seriously.
She is a corporatist. Inarguable. Now you tell me why Democrats would support a Corporatist???

There is enough federalism left in this country that a Coup is not needed. That being said, this is going to be a fascinating summer/fall.

You're right. you might support him out of racism, a need for fascism, because you like reality tv stars, or because you are easily duped
one thing is certain, you don't support him because of his well thought out policies
 
Get used to saying President Clinton again. The GOP blew it big time
Really?
So how is it Republicans fault that Hillary beat Bernie?
I dare say that Trump is probably more left than Hillary...Hillary is a corporatist/elitist...so pray tell what that has to do with republicans?
