There is a way to measure how much the Trump nomination has cost the GOP

There’s a Way to See How Much Donald Trump’s Nomination Has Cost the G.O.P.


From autumn 2015 to spring 2016, the Republican was beating the Democrat in the generic ballot question. In January 2016, for example, the spread was seven points — 39 percent for the Democrat and 46 percent for the Republican. As it became clear that Mr. Trump would be the nominee, the pattern changed and the Democratic candidate went ahead. By the end of July, the Democrat had 44 percent and the Republican 36 percent — a complete reversal.

One way to view this switch is as the price for nominating Mr. Trump.

So the Republican Party went from leading by 7 points to losing. Did the Trump nomination do that?

Give us a break. Over half of us wish someone else was the nominee.

It isn't like everyone didn't tell the RWers during the Primaries that Trump was a gift to the DNC. But they just ignored the warnings and cut their wrists anyway...

This was the Republican's race to win, and look what Primary voters did...

Oh please, how much damage did loser Bob Dole do to the GOP? Or loser McCain that lame ass who never had a chance at winning and couldn't even put a beat down on Obama a total noob with no experience. Or loser Romney. The GOP establishment has run one epic loser after another. Then there's Bush a man who could barely speak a complete sentence, how much damage did he do holy shit.

This notion that Trump has somehow done more damage to the party than the above list of losers is laughable.

Major rationalizing!

 

[JakeStarkey]

Dole McCain Romney did nothing combined that equaled 1/10th damage Trump has done.

The mainstream is going alt right hunting after the election.

The establishment is still yelping. It's not Trump. It was never Trump. It was the Republican voter giving the Republican establishment a well deserved thrashing. The establishment is fighting back by burning down the entire house.

The alt right does not exist outside the brains of Democrats.

I'm intrigued by your handle. Are you both Tipsy and a lover of cat(s)? Or are you lover of Tipsy the cat? (-:

In any event I think I agree. Trump is Alt Right. He was birther in chief for seven years, and the Trumpbots can deny it all they want, but he's never going to get black support, and his "Mexico isn't sending it's best and brightest. They're rapists and murders. And some, I assume, are decent people" is classic Alt R.

However voting for him in a primary was, it seemed to me, a chance to repudiate the establishment, which was hostile to my economic interests for at least 16 years. At one time, the gop was for the middle class working stiff, who paid his taxes, stayed married or at least supported his kids, saved money, and retired quietly .... asking only that the gummit leave him alone to the maximum extent possible, and that included keeping crooked banks from looting him and unnecessary wars.

The way you are trashing McCain and Romney right now, it's obvious you will be trashing your lover Trump after he loses, too. You have no fidelity whatsoever.

In a sad sick way, I sort of hope McCain goes down. And I voted for him in the 2000 primary and 2008.
