Donald Trump will be the next

[ClemsonGuy99]

Per Mel Robbins (and I agree with her) these are the reasons Trump will win.
1. He's Real
2. He Doesn't Care What You Think
3. Many Americans Hate Washington
4. It's Early (null)
5. You Want To See Him Debate

While I don't like the guy this is probably true...although I am not sure he is "real". He simply speaks before the thinks...which also happens to be a trait of most people. They mistake his unfiltered comments as him being honest instead of him being an idiot.

1. I'll vote for the Republican nominee regardless of who that is...

2. The pundits repeatedly say that Trump has a very loyal following but they're not sure he can get anyone else onboard with him...I can say that I was very skeptical at first but he's really grown on me...

3. I took one of those online surveys to see which candidate I stood with on the issues & I agreed with Trump 92% of the time so apparently I have to vote for him now

This thread reminds me of 2012 when the Fox News crowd was shocked that Obama beat Romney.

Trump will win because people on both sides are fed up with politicians, and how they can't deliver on what they promise.

Agreed & a lot of it is people are just plain sick of the federal government period

She and the Dems Party are going to do two things. 1) Carpet bomb the media with all of the 100s of stories about Trump's business deals that he's so proud of "negotiating." None of the candidates in the primary have had the will or the bankroll to do this, and they damned sure can't mention anything about Trump during a debate because he screams like a 5 year old who needs his *** beat and nobody in the audience or on TV can hear what's being said. The voting public will quickly come to regard him the same way people in his own city do...as scum. Further, they will highlight the fact that he simply is NOT a smart person, and he has never had an innovative or original thought that spawned an honest profit. He has literally treaded water on his inheritance, and has barely been able to outrun the S&P 500 in terms of his personal wealth. 2) Hillary will insist relentlessly that he present a plan. Any plan. On anything...which he cannot.

What a dark time in our political history we're in that a complete and utter assclown blowhard is a candidate for the presidency. I'm still in a little bit of shock, honestly.

Not on an exact point by point basis, but the same type of things were said about Obama in 2008. His lack of experience in anything at all of consequence, his dubious relationships with Rev. Wright and others over the previous 20 years, his lack of any definitive plan on anything, etc. would all cause people to back away from him. The problem was, there was nothing to back to other than a candidate who, for all of his valor, patriotism and political experience, looked like an old man next to Obama and who was just flat boring. The same could just as likely be true here. Rather than Trump, is the public going to rush to the polls to vote for a 90's retread who 60+ percent of the population in most polls regards as a compulsive liar and political opportunist? All polls, historically speaking, have shown that Hillary starts out with decent/OK favorables (although 40% of the population does and will continue to despise her and never vote for her), but the more they get to know her the more her unfavorables rise. The more you see her the less you like her. Trump on the other hand, has done the opposite. High unfavorables that are now reversing. It was said early on his ceiling would be around 25% tops, if that. He just got 45% of the vote in Nevada. Whether either can ever get 50% of the vote is seriously in question, but I suppose without a 3rd party candidate it is possible. I'm betting Trump has the higher upside.

Disclaimer: I am part of the 40% that despises Hillary. But I like Kasich, who isn't going to win the nomination, so I don't really have a dog in the fight yet. I am trying to be at least somewhat unbiased in my analysis.

It is really hard for me to believe how naive many of you are. The rest of the country is not South Carolina. Hillary Clinton, and her husband, Bill, are both extremely popular in many parts of this country. Hillary is going to win the traditionally liberal states no matter WHO the Republicans run. That is no different from the fact that no matter who the Democrats run, the Republicans will carry South Carolina and the rest of the deep south. Clinton will try to follow the same path as Obama. Hold onto the blue states and carry enough swing states to give her the necessary electoral votes. In my opinion, if Trump is the Republican candidate, Clinton will carry ALL of the swing states. Hell, she might even carry North Carolina and Arkansas.

He will beat Hillary.

Hillary has not had to debate yet. Trump will embarrass her once those debates begin....not to mention if she gets indicted.

I don't think it has anything to do with how the debates go. The very vast majority of people voting for Hilary are going to vote for her no matter who is on the other side. That's the difference between republicans and democrats. The democrats will vote for whoever is on the ticket- doesn't really matter who it is. Even if it is Hilary. Hilary couldn't even convince her husband it was not a good idea to sleep with the help in the white house. She has defended and stood by a man, who when given the benefit of the doubt is life long adulterer, or when not, a rapist and adulterer. She also stood by this same man, who told his buddy Ted that Obama would have been getting them their coffee not too long ago. So you have a candidate who is married to a man who has made racist statements about the current potus on tape for all the world to hear for themselves, and a man who has absolutely no respect for women. Yet her two biggest voting blocks will be blacks and women. Need I say more?

Republicans get all pissed because their guy didn't win the primary and some of them stay home or vote for a third party which is essentially gives Hilary half a vote for each moron that does this. Unless Hilary gets indicted, she will beat trump even if he destroys her in the debates.

I suspect they will both be saying the same thing. I will make this better, I will make that better, blah, blah blah. Neither one of them will tell you what they plan to do to make "it" better or how the are going to do it- or pay for it.

Clinton will not win Arkansas or NC. Don't be so naive. She probably will lose CO and IA as well. She is behind every candidate in Ohio and Florida right now.

It doesn't seem to me that most people recognize what the rise of Trump truly represents. The GOP is dying right before our eyes. What will rise from its ashes remains to be seen, and Trump won't win the general, but this is all highly entertaining(and more than a little frightening).



Trump is the GOP’s Frankenstein monster. Now he’s strong enough to destroy the party.

Hard to disagree with any of this!
