Professors Confess: Trump as Likely as Jeb! to Win in 2016
Breitbart ^ | 25 Sep 2015 | Neil Munro

Donald Trump has a better shot at the presidency than Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and is just as likely to win the 2016 election as Jeb Bush, say two embarrassed political scientists.

--snip--

Because they concluded that Donald Trump “has a 54 percent chance of being elected president if he is the GOP nominee… [and] he is as electable as [Jeb] Bush and [John] Kasich and more electable than [Carly] Fiorina and [Marco] Rubio.”

--snip--

What’s powering this support? It is almost surely Trump’s ability to win GOP and Democratic votes in the blue-collar suburbs by his championing Americans and by shunning elite preferences.

The professors hinted at this shockingly novel strategy — “promise benefits for voters, not donors”

"What’s powering this support? It is almost surely Trump’s ability to win GOP and Democratic votes in the blue-collar suburbs by his championing Americans and by shunning elite preferences."

In other words, FIGHTING FOR THE WHITE VOTE.

"The professors hinted at this shockingly novel strategy — “promise benefits for voters, not donors”"

That option NEVER crossed the minds of the GOPe, and because of that, Trump has landed in their laps and there isn't a damn thing they can do about it, since Trump doesn't need their money.

Yes, it must have been painful. Imagine finally coming to the realization that a current leader with upwards of 4 times the support (in some polls) as Bush being “as likely to win as Jeb”.......the horror.

“if he is the GOP nominee”........ Therein lies one of the largest obstacle Trump faces, the GOP, not to mention the media. If the media reported in an honest, non-biased way, I believe the numbers we are seeing would drastically change. None-the-less, it would appear that Trump would win.

“promise benefits for voters, not donors””

“I was hoping Trumps chances were better than that... :(”

These are PROFESSORS. As it is, just for going as far as they have, their colleges will likely induce some coeds to bang them and then claim RAPE! - thereby ‘cleansing’ the institution of heretics.

Well they’re still wrong. Jeb and Kasich are NOT LIKELY TO WIN.

It’s embarrassingly ignorant when one compares the leftist politically motivated fraud of global climate change to the proven science of natural selection.

Ah yeah, Trump is promising to support AMERICAN workers, not foreign hoards, not Muslim maggots, not the parasites on the left, and not the anti-white, anti-American left wing progressive psychopaths. Who would have imagined that U.S. Citizens have had their gut full of the lying media, the lying obamas and all of their parasitic allies on the left. No quarter for the domestic enemies of U.S. citizens. Obama and Clinton—treason—prison.

I call Bull on this. Trump is NOT as likely to win as Bush. He’s got a much better chance to win than Bush. Most people I know have Bush fatigue, and refuse to vote for the SOB. Myself included.

I caught that too, that is called ‘damning with faint praise’.

“Professor” and political credibility are mutually exclusive.

Just a reminder...Trump has to get the white vote to turn out. Which it did not do for Mitt Romney.

So...Democrats are seen as the party of minorities and women and gays. They are losing white male voters all the time. But it is not enough for the Democrats to lose them. Republicans have to get whites out to vote

The headline on the ComPost:

If Republicans nominate a strong conservative, it could hurt them on Election Day. A lot.

They are so scared to pull this desperate crap so early.

Trump can win. Bush cant. In fact Cruz, Fiorina, Carson and Rubio can win.

None of the amnesty candidates can win.
