My good FRiend, we are on the same team.
Hopefully you will feel differently when Mister Trump announces indy, third party (his plan all along, one most strongly suspects.)
.
As Ann Coulter said after the Paris attacks, “Donald Trump won the election tonight.”
He’s got everyone befuddled — media, Democrats, GOP opponents.
...and he’s getting ready for the general election, with Ted Cruz as his running mate.
He’ll only get beat if illegal immigrants are allowed to vote.
Yes, he also said that President Roosevelt appeared on TV to calm the American people about the crash. I still remember Katie Couric sitting there nodding her head, like she had no idea that it wasn’t true.
[[Shades of ross Perot.
He handed the 1992 election to Bill Clinton.
It’s hard not to imagine he knew it would happen that way.]]
It was nothing more than a business deal to him- mighta been worth a billion or more to throw the GOP a defeat for bill-
Seems this might just be happening again
Clinton would probably not have won without Perot. GHWB’s popularity ratings were so high the democrats couldn’t find a candidate willing to run against Bush. Clinton said, what the hell, and jumped in. As for Perot, whether he played a deliberate spoiler or not, he had as much right to run for the office as anyone else. He didn’t owe the GOP diddley squat and neither do we.
What third party? R and D are one party, so it would be a second party.
“In 2014, Independents comprised 42% of the electorate.”
And if the remainder were split equally between Democrats and republicans each would have 29% of the electorate?
Not buying it.
The republican conservative base is 19% of the electorate.
Trump/Cruz gain nearly all the base.
Independents comprise 42% of the electorate of which 29% are conservative or lean conservative.
Trump/Cruz gain nearly 29% from Independents.
Reagan democrats comprise 5% of the electorate.
Trump/Cruz gain nearly all the Reagan democrats.
Latinos comprise 8% of the electorate.
Trump/Cruz gain 3% from Latinos.
Blacks comprise 13% of the electorate.
Trump/Cruz gain 2% from Blacks.
Total 58% landslide and likely more as momentum picks up more supporters.
Consequences are that the GOP presidential organization dies. Republicans in Congress will pledge to work with the Independent Trump/Cruz or risk being thrown out by their constituents. Many will switch affiliation to Independent.
2016 will be an historic election with grave consequences to the GOPe. This Freeper remembers Mississippi and Mark Mayfield and will not rest until justice is served. Millions of others have the same view and aim.
I was living in Pinellas County, FL on 9-11. Tampa PD (other side of the Bay) had to intervene on the USF campus when a group of "Palestinian" students began celebrating after the first Tower came down. A whole slew of Tampa Boys were headed that way for some Paul Kersey-style justice when the TPD stopped them, saving the Muzzie goat humpers from the a** whuppin' they so deserved. Too bad.
I wonder if, hindsight being 20/20, those cops would have done the same had they known then what we know now about Moose Limbs?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
19% for Perot.
Half of that would have swung the election to Bush.
Duh.
Perot got Clinton elected. “Read my lips” didn’t have that much influence.
Hillary could not be more thrilled and appreciative.
You have no currency to buy anything. Your money is not legit.
See post #68 for a more accurate assessment.
“He’ll only get beat if illegal immigrants are allowed to vote.”
Not even then.
I see Trump/Cruz with Trump doing one term, Cruz then two terms.
With concomitant majorities in the House and Senate with increases in the percentages conservatives over GOPe.
“Shades of Rross Perot. He handed the 1992 election to Bill Clinton.”
“That’s mindless BS! Bush is why clinton was elected.”
Mindless BS eh?
here’s the ‘82 Election:
Bill Clinton (43.0%)
George H. W. Bush (37.4%)
Ross Perot (18.9%)
It looks to me like Perot split the vote after all.
You are correct on both counts, my good FRiend.
I suspect Mister Trump is doing what he can to mess w GOP candidates, and then whine about "unfair treatment" and go third party, indy, in order to siphon votes away from the GOP nom and hand the election to his long-time pal, Hillary.
As far as the talented Mister Benson's "preferences", so what?
.
Perot had nowhere near the charisma and attraction of Donald Trump.
The two are not comparable.
Your analysis (pitiful) FAILS.
Fair enough, but if Perot had not run in 92, Clinton would not have won.
