There's a chasm between appealing to nutters and appealing to the masses.

I don't even give Trump a puncher's chance in the general. This is the doomsday scenario for conservative politics. Frankenstein's monster is now trying to run Frankenstein Manor.

I don't think it's likely, but let's say it's even 20% given the economy is shaky and Hillary is not a good candidate - Will Hunting Feb 24, 08:08
he's so dead in the general that he leads Hillary head-to-head in Ohio right now - ML Feb 24, 08:08 18
- This particular lefty thinks we are now well positioned to duplicate 2008. - David Feb 24, 08:15 10
  - Very well could be. But if we're wrong...that guy is in charge. - Will Hunting Feb 24, 08:19
  - Do we think turn outs for Dems will pick back up in the general? - Spawn Feb 24, 08:18 2

      - That is my thought/hope, as well. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 08:24

    - I expect the people currently refusing to hit Trump to spend their money downticket instead. - David Feb 24, 08:18 4
      - This group is doing another million against him in... IIRC Oklahaoma and another state. -- (link) - Spawn Feb 24, 08:22 3
        
        Sure but that's chump change. Politico, which leans right no matter what they say, has chronicled the fear of billionaires to attack Trump. - David Feb 24, 08:25 2
        
        Oh, agreed. Just thinking that if they can demonstarte success again, maybe the sky opens up and it rains. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 08:28 1
        
        I feel like there's some sort of honor code among billionaires about this. - David Feb 24, 08:29
- of course we've covered before that head-to-head polling at this point is meaningless -- nm - ty97 Feb 24, 08:10 6
  - Of course. But let's not have this nonsense that he's DOA. -- nm - ML Feb 24, 08:11 5
    - I think higher of the voting public than that. -- nm - David Feb 24, 08:17 2
      - Why? -- nm - ty97 Feb 24, 08:19 1
        
        2012 and especially 2008. - David Feb 24, 08:22
    - Yep - we don't even know what he's going to say after (presuming) he wins the primary. -- nm - Roger More Feb 24, 08:15
    - He's certainly not (as I said upthread). I'm terrified and horrified he has a path to winning. - ty97 Feb 24, 08:13
But he's a builder, David. He builds things. Like bridges. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 24, 08:02 2
- And walls that he gets other people to pay for. -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 08:03 1
  - To keep the voters in. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 24, 08:03
