2008 we were going to lose even if we put up Jesus Christ himself. We were in a horrible situation. However, in 2016, we are in the top spot to win.....look at the Democrats, they are going so far left that they may fall off the Earth. (LOL).
Never underestimate the power of the GOPe to lose.
You are right though, Hillary is so damaged, a wet paper bag good win against her. Bernie belongs in a mental institution. However, when the inmates are running the asylum, he actually has a slight chance.
He claims he would like to run against Trump. I think he has a much better chance against an establishment guy like Rubio or Bush. Either of them would be a hard pill to swallow for Tea Party conservatives which is a MUST HAVE demographic for the Republican nominee.
