#UnelectableDonald
BySteve Berman | March 24, 2016, 12:45pm |

I am convinced that Trump’s hard core supporters are difficult (if not impossible) to convince that their candidate/idol is not what they believe he is. Even mental giants such asNewt Gingrichhave succumbed to Trump’s siren song.

But they are not a majority. They are not silent either. (Trump’s point being that he wakes non-political people up from their slumber–that the “silent majority” is silent no more. In case you missed that or were denying it.)

Trump is unelectable. #UnelectableDonald.

A vote for Trump is a vote for nothing. A thrown away vote. A birthday card sent to a deceased person. An anniversary card for a divorced couple. A wedding gift to the couple who cancelled their engagement. I could go on, but the uselessness of a vote for Trump can’t be overestimated.

Trump has never achieved a flat majority of votes in any primary.



He flirted with it in Massachusetts, Arizona and Nevada. Massachusetts is home to the biggest hive of socialists outside the Kremlin. Arizona is front-and-center on the immigration problem, and Nevada celebrates sin.

Although Republicans have in many ways been enamored with Trump in a split race of divide and conquer, he can barely muster 40 percent even where he’s most popular.

Comparisons to Ronald Reagan are just silly. Reagan, nationally, achieved a 59.8% majority in the primaries, against John Anderson (who went third party), Howard Baker, George H.W. Bush (who joined Reagan in a unity ticket after staying in through May), Bob Dole, Phil Crane, and John Connally.

In Reagan’s primary race,nobody withdrew before March 5. At this point in the race, Reagan was in a 4-man race after 11 primaries. Trump is in a 3-man race after 13 primaries. Reagan crushed everyone with absolute majorities in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Alabama, Florida and Georgia with 5 well-known candidates running.



Meanwhile, Trump can’t even beat Cruz in Wisconsin. The latestMonmouth pollhas him behind in the Badger State, with a possible endorsement of Cruz coming from the Throne of Skulls GovernorScott Walker. And that’s with Kasich pulling 19 percent, mostly from Cruz voters. Without Kasich, Cruz would be well over 50 percent.

It’s a fact. Donald Trump is unelectable.

Unelectable Donald will not win a majority in Wisconsin. The polls show Trump with a flat majority in New York, but that primary is 3 weeks away, an eternity in primary season, with only North Dakota (which Cruz will win) and Wisconsin between now and then.

Trump has not won a majority of voters in any election. He will not win a majority in just about every state in the general election.

The best case is Trump losing 329 to 209.



It could be much worse.



The best way to stop Trump from hijacking the GOP into an unmitigated disaster is for people to realize that a vote for Trump is a vote for nothing. A vote thrown away.

#UnelectableDonald will never be president. He will never win a majority.

Mike, I hope you read this thread. This is the point Flash & I have been trying to make to you, repeatedly, that Trump is unelectable. If he's our nominee, then Hillary's our next President. Can't be any clearer than that....

So, Trump is like RINO's Romney and McCain?

 

[nashvillegoldenflash]

No Lynn, Trump is much worse because Romney and McCain never gave over $600,000 to New York liberal Democrats, not to mention all the thousands of dollars he gave Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and a slew of other Democrats across the country.

[MTLynn]

Oh, I know his history. I'm talking about his electability. He will go lose the election like RINO's Romney and McCain?

 

[nashvillegoldenflash]

Yes, like Romney and McCain but Trump will lose much worse because there are not nearly enough rural white nationalists to elect him.

‪Trump is unfavorable with key groups in latest Wall Street Journal Poll:
Women: 70%
Millennials: 72%
Blacks: 83%
Hispanics: 77%
Suburbanites: 68%

Mike and Lynn, I realize you both don't want to believe all the polls but it seems pretty obvious if Trump becomes the GOP nominee, your boy will go down hard.

Mark Levin said tonight on his radio show that he fears we are going to get blown out in the general election because a lot of what is going on in the primary is turning people off and it just isn’t helpful to Republicans.

And part of that, he points out, is Donald Trump’s tweeting problems, which he says is getting crazier and crazier.

He explains below: (click link)

Levin continues in the audio above to explain how the reporting by Fox News and others on this anti-Trump super PAC ad is absolutely wrong and calls them out for their poor reporting, correcting the record as he goes.

 

[MTLynn]

My "boy" would be Gary Johnson if I vote. That said, I think Trump gets more votes than either Romney or McCain because they were seen as establishment RINO's whereas Trump is a non establishment RINO.

The American people are sick of establishment politicians which is why Trump and Sanders are popular.

If the RNC doesn't nominate Trump I think he runs as a third party and we could see a Perot type scenario play out with billary winning the presidency.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

My boy isn't Trump. I voted for Cruz. My problem is the hypocrisy I see in your posts, the hit lists. But I digress.

I want anyone but Hillary. If we go to a contested convention, we must pick a nominee that can win in the battle ground states. Right now, that isn't Trump or Cruz. And, I think a contested convention opens the door for people that are not running - the goal of the party is to win elections.

Mike, I won't argue it'd be an uphill climb for Cruz; however, news such as this offers hope:

Poll: Millenials Prefer Cruz to Hillary, Trump
By: Leon H. Wolf (Leon H. Wolf (Diary) | March 25th, 2016 at 11:35 AM

This is a somewhat surprising result. Per aFox News poll, millenials strongly prefer Ted Cruz to Hillary Clinton by a 51-37 margin in a head to head matchup. Among these same voters, Clinton leads Trump by over 20 points.

As RedAlertPolitics notes, young voters were a massive driver for Barack Obama’s general election win. If Hillary loses those to Cruz, it gives him a serious shot at winning in the general:

Cruz’s lead among young voters is fueling his general election chances in November. In this poll, Cruz defeats Clinton 47 percent to 44 percent in the general election; Trump loses 49 percent to 38 percent.

In 2008 and 2012, President Obama won younger voters by huge margins; he defeated Governor Mitt Romney 67 percent to 30 percent among voters 18-to-29 years old. If Cruz can neutralize or reverse this trend, it would be a huge feat for the Republican Party’s future.

Yet another reason for the Republican electorate to coalesce behind Cruz and reject Trump.

 

[bigbadjohn45]

Mike, actually, I think that's a pretty remarkable poll. Maybe this country's future isn't so bleak after all? I sincerely think Cruz's ability to contrast new ideas versus Hillary's status quo ideas can be the difference. If we can't win the next generation to conservative ideas, we don't have a chance. People have always tended to be more conservative as they get older, particularly from college singles to married parents and workers. Cruz has won young voters in every state he's been competitive in.

Cruz is plenty young enough that he's seen as a new wave, but mature enough in appearance that he doesn't look like a boy. In some respects, this can offset his lack of movie star good looks. He's a serious man for serious times.
