“The Coach” is delusional if he thinks Trump wins any of these states. He quotes no polls, a cursory examination of RCP has Trump losing to Hillary in New York by 19, in Florida by 8, in Ohio by 6, in Pennsylvania by 8.
Trump’s nomination elects Clinton and loses the Supreme Court for a generation. An unmitigated disaster for Conservatives.
And you think any other Republican is going to make inroads into swing states?
The only national candidate the GOP has today is Trump. No one else has his broad appeal and drives voters to the polls like he does.
Its going to be a tough election. If Trump can’t do it, no Republican can. And as McCain and Mittens ruefully learned, voters don’t give you a participation prize for being nice and deferential.
If its true we’re going to lose anyway, let’s lose going down fighting hard.
