even if Cruz dropped out tomorrow, that's no guarantee or even likely that 100% of his support goes to Marco (politicalwire.com)

I'm going to find ST kinda entertaining when Trump beats Clinton by four to five points and lots of EC votes. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 22:20 22

  - Start at least considering the possibility. Even if tucked away in the back of your mind. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 22:24 20
    - agreed -- nm - Beaker Feb 24, 04:44
    - In short: Dems are reaaalllly energized to vote against Trump, and a lot of Republicans can't bring themselves to vote for. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 22:28 13
      - as opposed to all of those other candidates that Democrats are reaaaallly energized to vote against. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 24, 04:07 1
        
        Cruz would be similar. Rubio, Kasich, (Bush RIP) wouldn't. -- nm - Reagen Feb 24, 06:07
      - I'm just saying, Clinton is the wrong Democrat to lure iffy Republicans. Don't date undervalue the motivation there. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 22:34 10
        
        you are evaluating her in a vacuum. she will not be campaigning in a vacuum. she and Obama will be joined at the hip from August to Election Day - sweet baboo Feb 23, 22:37 9
        
        Obama on the hustings for a Clinton... And we're seriously concerned about motivated Republicans? - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 22:40 8
        
        if Obama could run for a third term, he would mop the floor with Trump. he will make the (easy) case to the same voters who elected him twice that -- (edited) - sweet baboo Feb 23, 22:44 2
        
        remember the aftermath of 2012 when they said they'd present a better face to Latino voters - crash davis Feb 23, 22:48 1

        The position is more basic. Dude Palin is running for POTUS, and you're arguing that's a winner. -- nm - David's iPad Feb 23, 22:43 4
        
        I don't know that it's a winner. Just that it isn't the auto-loser Democrats want to believe it is. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 22:54 3
        
        yup -- nm - Beaker Feb 24, 04:46

        True. There is analysis that suggests he would be the worst for us. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 23:42
    - you are delusional - sweet baboo Feb 23, 22:26 1
      - Your tears will taste the sweetest of all. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 22:28
    - Oh, I have. The electoral math specifically is where he loses any chance. -- nm - David's iPad Feb 23, 22:25 2
      - It's too late to go into state by state, but knee jerk, that feels overly generous to Clinton. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 22:26 1
        
        she starts at about 220 before you even get into the swing state math -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 23, 22:27
