2. Trump will win the general election.
Har har har. Har.
It would be basically a replay of 1992, though Hillary would likely win by an even larger margin than did her husband because of the greater number of minority voters.
4. The newly empowered party that chooses Trump will overtake the GOP in congressional seats.
To the extent Trump has a platform that isn't just his personality, it isn't enough on which to base a party. So no, this won't happen either.
We dare you.
Right back at ya. Trump certainly has the ability to sink the GOP's Presidential hopes in this election. Beyond that, he's a flash in the pan, and your Trump coalition will fall about faster than a ten dollar suit when he's gone.
You're probably right about that. The Trump coalition is in many ways like the old Reagan coalition (Reagan democrats, etc.). When Reagan left office, that coalition began to fall apart, and by 1992 it was mostly gone.
Regardless, I'm still backing Trump as the last, best chance to shake thinks up.
As a devout Cruzlim I would expect nothing less Ina reply from you.
It would be basically a replay of 1992, though Hillary would likely win by an even larger margin than did her husband because of the greater number of minority voters.
No one expects Bernie to run as a third party. If the GOP splits, and Trump runs third party then Bernie could split the Dem vote and run third party.
The might be the last election in American History...but it would be a hoot to watch.
