Donald Trump Could Be Headed For A Catastrophic General Election Defeat by Jack Mirkinson
April 3, 2016 T Donald Trump could be headed towards a catastrophic general election defeat if he becomes the Republican presidential nominee, according to a host of recent polling and analysis.
There were gasps on Friday when the University of Virginia’s Larry Sabato posted new projections showing that Trump could lose the Electoral College vote to Hillary Clinton 347-191.
Sabato is not alone in forecasting such a wipeout. Trump is trailing both Clinton and Bernie Sanders by double digits in some national polls.

A “Democrat” that is more conservative than every other GOP primary candidate. GOPe is rejecting Trump not because he’s a Democrat or a Liberal, but because he’s TOO CONSERVATIVE on trade, immigration and foreign affairs
I’m not trying to pretend I’m an expert on Florida, but I have lived here for 26 years and spent 9 of those years as a statewide computer services account manager. I know the state pretty well.
Cruz would only have strength in the Panhandle and parts of Jacksonville. The rest of the state is a second home to the US NorthEast. He is not well liked at all in Tampa Bay. He would need to really kill it here and I4/Orlando to overcome the beating he will take from Palm Beach to Miami.That’s where all the votes are.
Most republicans in the state are what you would call “squishy”. They would have no problem voting for Clinton over Cruz.
He really has no chance at all to win the state of Florida and if you use the 270 site you will see that without Florida he cannot win a general election.
That’s just reality.
Your limited vocabulary response is getting tired.
Despite such a sordid political history, Patsy’s “Crazy” is classic!
Not me personally. I don't have any confidence in any of them, one way or the other. As the old Japanese saying goes, they are just noise on a distant shore.
But you do have a point in general. Many folks here cherry-pick their polls.
Sorry, If CRuz wants to pal around with folks who sound like Muslim extremists, you defend it. When was DT a member of the KKK?
Nah, both sides are almost solidified here, that is until teddy has his next ‘chicago’ flub moment.
Keep up acting like the three proverbial monkeys until reality hits you like an earthquake.
The Democrat vote soldiers, who AREN'T Reagan Democrats, vote for whom they are told.
Ted Cruz, Unipatsy, to be precise...
Yeah, again the gop thought they owned our votes. Perot was right about NAFTA. Unless it’s Trump, no more gop. ever.

Absolutely correct. But good luck trying to drive sense into the Trumpkins who behave like the three proverbial moneys who are attempting to take us al into the abyss.
What proof do you have of this?
Please The Carter analogy is useless. Even Reagan won’t carry California in this demographic. Carter’s polls nosedived after the failed rescue effort.
No the “Cruz-aid” is not strong with me. I did support him in the begining and for a good while, but I now detest him as much as I do Donald Trump. I dont think there is anyone in the GOP that can beat Hillary nor do right by the people of this nation.
I am know in acceptance mode. I accept that Hillary is going to benthe next President and the collapse of the nation is eminent. Even if some odd change happens and Trump (or Cruz) are elected it wont be any different than a Hillary presidency. They will collapse this nation.
In the end we all lose. I am just here to watch all enjoy and laugh at the true believerism of the Trump and Cruz homers.
Simply repeating the Dear Leader’s rhetoric like Lyin’ Ted and Trojan horse is unhelpful. If Trump does not know how to win delegates, he needs to fire his folks. So much for finding the best people to make America great again. Trump did get grated by the Big Cheese a week ago where Cruz walloped him by double digits in every demographic group.
Now come on. You don’t want a an endless list of Trump’s contributions to Pelosi; Reid; Schummer; Hillary; Planned Parenthood; and LGBT. That would be very embarrassing wouldn’t it, to say nothing of his support for partial birth abortion.
I didn’t say he was a member. He was confronted about David Duke’s endorsement and he said he’d never heard of David Duke.
Who hasn’t heard of David Duke?
And he refused to renounced the KKK.
And what is this ridiculous Muslim extremist connection with Ted Cruz? Never heard of it.
Cruz can’t beat Trump! How the hell is he going to beat Hellery?
