Good thing the election isn’t being held today I guess.

Trump will whip Hillary''s

I don't know. Based on a glance at some of the threads on FR in recent days, many conservatives are threatening to stay home rather than vote for Trump. He would have to overcome that, the MSM (which he is capable of doing), and the DEM voter fraud (which will be difficult).

I see a possible repeat of 2012 if it is Trump vs. Hillary. A weak (or weakened) DEM candidate winning over a GOP candidate that lost due to low conservative turnout.

And yet Trump is behind Clinton by an average of 5.8% in the last 5 polls. Just saying.

Is she even running? Don't see or hear much about her.

The DNC belief is the less you see of hear Hillary Clinton, the better.

Please look at my post #13 on this thread and tell me how the ABC poll shown in post #5 is accurate.

A caller asked Rush today if Trump would not have the ability to contest more than the traditional purple states and contend, basically. wherever there was a Republican governor. Rush admitted that he himself had been considering making that prediction.

In analyzing electability, Rush noted that Hillary has been quiet lately, and therefore her poll numbers were up. Whenever she is vocal, tho . . .

I was reading A Time for Truth, by Ted Cruz, at the time - and Cruz described beating Dewhurst in the senate primary by running a commercial which accused Dewhurst of being the invisible man, unwilling to submit to grass roots questioning. Hillary could find herself facing the same sort of criticism in the General.

JMHO, YMMV

And they were just as much against Reagan back then. Although the media was not nearly as sleazy.

At least now we have internet- can you imagine ONLY hearing ABC CBS and NBC??? And having to decide based on there info?

I think people were not as stupid back then either, now that I think about it.

My guess is that the 33-23-34 number was incorrect and should have been 33-33-34.

Trump’s lead is impressive, but we haven’t had a 14-17 candidate field before. So far, Trump has been getting a portion of each significant candidate falling out. If that continues, then it is game over once Trump gets above 50% (assuming polling translates into real votes, a significant “if”). We aren’t there yet.

I’ve run the percentages assuming that. It’s not possible unless the data is corrupted or made up.

"more than the traditional purple states"

That would be something! It's going to be interesting next year.
