POTUS Election thread

[whyidie]

If I was a conspiracy guy, I would believe that Trump is a Democratic Party plant meant to embarrass the Republican Party. Trump has been on the record back in the early 2000s and 1990s as being very liberal with things such as universal health care.

Heh, if we had to vote on conspiracy theories I'd go the other way. Trump makes the other GOP candidates look more palatable to the gooey middle which will decide the election in the battleground states. Case in point, Rick Perry has someone he can call nuts. Quite a turn around from 4 years ago.

The more I hear Trump speak, the more I like him. I still think he's unelectable, but boy, he stands in such contrast to the usual rank'n'file weather vane politicians. Chris Christie is the only one who comes close, but he has him own electability issues.

Christy would be interesting. I think he is one of the few GOP candidates who could win a general election.

Best shot for GOP is to flip FL, OH, VA and one of the mountain west states (CO, NV, NM).

Only candidates they have that are capable of pulling it off are Kasich, Bush, and Christie. Everyone else is noise. They're playing for the 2nd prize of book/tv/campaign money.
