What should we call this nonsense we’re engaged in now?

The big problem is that we’ve got a traitorous bas-ard in the disgraced White Hut commanding our military!

I must say Ivanka is one classy lady. Compare her to Chelsea or even those strange-looking Obama daughters.

>>This is not to say that Republicans cannot win a presidential election, merely that they require specialized conditions to do so: a recession or a major scandal during a Democratic administration, or something else that causes Democratic voting to fall off well below normal presidential levels.

OK. This describes today’s America pretty darn well.

The country may not be in an “official” recession, mostly due to the government cooking the books, but is anyone who works for a paycheck getting raises that actually keep up with inflation?

There should be a whole bag of scandals right now, but the media and GOProgressives are not interested.

Are blacks really going to get that excited about a rich, old white woman as a replacement for their mulatto messiah?

Who cares what happens. It has not happened yet besides they do not know what will happen as if these media types have any clue.

They know absolutely nothing.

When Trump becomes the nominee the establishment pubs will learn to lick his shoes and that is what will happen.

Wow! Great analysis! Jonathan Chait is one of the best, and least biased, political writers of all time! And he’s very seldom wrong.

Hmm yeah good point. McGovern was a decorated war hero who flew 35 combat missions in a B-24 Liberator in WW 2.

Dukakis was not as bad as Hillary. Have to go to the History books because right now I cannot think of any Democrat Presidential Candidate worse they Hillary.

Which is absurd nonsense in light of the fact that 5 of the last 9 Presidential Elections have been won by Republicans. And of the 4 elections won by Democrats, 2 were won with less then 50% of the vote. Remember Bill Clinton won 2xs with less then 50% of the vote due to a 3rd party spoiler splitting the anti Clinton vote. What is a better question. After having won elections wholly on turning out record number of black voters in 2008 and 2012, how are Democrats going to blacks to show up and vote of a rich old corrupt political establishment white womean in 2016?

Most of those were in a different America. Everything changed when GWB was elected. Dems turned politics into a winner-take-all grudge match and the NWO-driven GOProgressives stole our party away from us. All elections are Pre-Chad or Post-Chad and the trendlines do not carry from Pre to Post.

Concern: IF a considerable amount of Trump's support comes from Dems and Indys (and not so much from the right or Christian right) do these people vote straight ticket or do they return their Dem to the Senate?

The House can be reasoned with but McConnell is compromised and will be difficult unless there is ground swell that causes him to be replaced as majority leader.

He’ll either be elected or be defeated in November.

I say he'll beat Hillary utill only tree-trunk sized cankle stumps remain.

There will be a lot of potpourri in quite a few Republican diapers.

If Trump were president now he would have pulverized ISIS as they crossed into Iraq through the dessert. That would have been a perfect opportunity to bomb them to kingdom come when they were driving through hundreds of miles of open dessert with no place to hide.

If Trump (lf Cruz) wins we’ll have a fighting chance to get America back on track.

I’m not worried about Trump dealing with Ryan and McConnell. He’s right when he said you can always make a deal with a politician. So true.

Didn’t read the article but it should be obvious that Trump and only Trump will have the strength and ability to save what if left to America.

Trump for President.
