The Democrats Are Flawlessly Executing a 10-Point Plan to Lose the 2016 Presidential Election
The Huffington Post's Huffpost Politics The Blog ^ | April 3, 2016 | Professor Seth Abramson

One needn’t speculate about how the Democrats could end up losing the 2016 presidential election. In fact, a subtly complex, multi-part plan to do just that is exactly what the Democrats have been up to over the last six months.

Here’s a detailed report on the ten steps the Democrats are now taking to ensure they lose the White House to the Republicans in 2016:

1. Assume that Donald Trump will be the Republicans’ 2016 nominee, though it’s now clear he won’t be.

Republican pundits agree: Trump will come up short of the 1,237 delegates he needs to clinch the Republican nomination prior to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

Trump will come up short for several reasons: (a) neither Ted Cruz nor John Kasich has any reason to leave the race before Cleveland, and the entirety of their ambition in remaining candidates is to deny delegates to Trump pre-Cleveland; (b) delegates Trump thought he had earned — in Louisiana, in Tennessee, in South Carolina, and soon enough elsewhere — are being and will be taken from him pre-Convention via shenanigans coordinated by Ted Cruz’s ground operation; (c) Trump is about to lose Wisconsin, and will continue to lose certain smaller and more rural states to Cruz and large pockets of delegates to Kasich in Midwestern and Northeastern states; and (d) there are just too few states left for Trump to clinch before Cleveland, now that his “win %” is well over 50% (that is, he has to win well over 50% of the remaining delegates to clinch the nomination pre-convention, and in a three-candidate primary he’s clearly not been able to do that).

In short, there’s a reason that FiveThirtyEight.com now says Trump is 5% below where he needs to be to get the nomination outright....

Well, let’s see, the GOP has a plan to lose the election and according to HuffPo, the Dems have a plan to lose.

I know this, the only thing these scoundrels care about is keeping the status quo and keeping their political careers and power.

Wait

The republicans have a plan to lose

Maybe Trump running 3rd party is the winning plan after all?

On Democratic Underground the leftist DUmmies are in flame wars. Most are big Bernie fans, but site founder “Skinner” and his wife are big Hillary supporters. Maybe they will Bern the filthy site down.

According to the blogs I guess no one is going to win and Obama will remain Dictator for Life.

I think the democrats see the writing on the wall with the economy and really would rather have the republicans be in power when the dollar collapses.
That way they can claim no responsibility.

Happy to read this. However, if the GOP nominates a pro-amnesty nominee I think they will discourage their base.

ROTFL! They crowned their Snowflake Queen and now they are stuck with her. Karma! Maybe they can move a nice desk into her cell and she’ll be able to meet with all of her foreign donor pals there. They’re going to be wanting to talk about their payback.
