So did Trump at one point. Those days are long over.
Pretty much all of them did at one point. The take-away here is that the Democrats ran the most unpopular candidate in modern history, and the Republicans managed to double down on that in six months. The Republicans will be a legacy regional party for at least the next 16 years unless the Democrats find a way to implode too. Hopefully, a "new" Republican party will eventually rise from the ashes. You know, one that believes that the Constitution doesn't need changed, just reread, that the government's main job is to protect you from attack, not run your life, and that individual liberty, not paternalism, is the most precious thing on earth.
Okay, a candidate that can beat her and is one that at least most can agree with. That did not happen and we can go candidate by candidate and name the reasons, but that is not necessary, we know most of them. As a party with millions of republicans in the U.S. the GOP could not find a couple that they, let alone us, could agree on and solidly get behind. It is a sad realization but the WH is gone for us, at least in the near future. LTD is right and eventually the democrats will fall apart too and maybe the rise of a new republican party will happen. I would not have ever imagined the circus that politics has become in 2016.
If it were just the polls, you guys know I hate polls, I would agree with you. It is the lack of support for the candidates. Each side swears they will not vote for the other candidate whereas Hillary or maybe even old Joe if she is indicted has the support of all democrats. They seem to have something we as republicans lack. They stand together and vote together. We argue, fight, and say we are taking our toys home and not voting if "our" candidate does not get nominated. Heck, we have not even got to the nomination and I can not even imagine what kind of show and fireworks that will be!
Agreed. But I'm still concerned that the primary voters have made a huge mistake.
I still wonder if that wasn't his mission all along. He and the Clintons were big buddies until he decided to run.
I place the blame on the GOPe as they have gotten away from true conservatism and fail to listen to their base. People like McConnell, Graham, McCain, and Paul Ryan have failed the conservative voter. The GOP is severely splintered and that shows in the primaries. Conservative voters don't want more of the same; they want the conservatism Reagan brought to the table.
IDK. I think if she or someone else is the nominee and not Sanders they will vote for the democrat.35% of Sanders supporters will not vote for Hillary.
