I haven't had cabme for about four weeks. Tonight is the first night I've been able to watch trump talk since then. Holy shit. Scarier than I remember.

If Trump is the nominee Toomey is so screwed.

That would be the most hatable, insufferable duo ever. I hope it happens.

Sounded kind of like Rubio - robotic. Didn't really care for mug chintzy either so I went fetterman

If Hillary were a man she would not get five percent of the vote

Guess who?

Trump is at 49% of the vote in Montco, 53% of the vote in Delco, 58% of the vote in Bucks.

Shocking, repulsive, depressing, disheartening, gah

At least we will be rooting against the same person in the general election jh, always wanted to do that with you.

Your misinterpretations of my observations on the national embarrassment that is the republican party's 2016 nominating process have got me thoroughly confused. Help me with this.

I'd love to see drumpf brunt in Indiana, but the fantasy that Cruz would surely beat him if only Kasich had gotten out of his way long before this is... a fantasy. How is it "contrarian" to point this out?

If you can find me saying Cruz would surely beat him if Kasich got out, then maybe you'd have a point?

Kid I used to teach is on team trump. He's worked on a bunch of R campaigns for state stuff. Always thought a good bit of him. Way off.

You going to pretend that you didn't frequently say Trump could not get 1237 or...

Nice job

Donald Trump makes strange bedfellows, I suppose. #nevertrump till I die and whatnot.

So, thinking about the general:

the game is states, not popular vote. My concern is that HRC could plausibly win the pop vote by a reasonably wide margin, as she will clean Trump's clock in liberal places like New England, Northwest, CA, and probably NY state, and still lose the electoral college. Hillary probably wins but less impressively in places with a big registration advantage like NJ, DE, & MD. And certain other states offended by Trump's brashness probably remain Dem - MN, CO, WI, maybe IA, but narrowly. I also think IL is in the bag for the Dems.

But I think Trump legit puts in play PA, OH, VA, MI, NM, and NV, and those 5 states are more than enough to swing the election. I don't see any states that could swing Dem if Trump is the nominee. If PA is the shakiest of those for Trump, fine, you can take it off the board. Demi still need to keep FL, or win both OH & MI, or both OH & VA, or both MI & VA to keep the White House.

If the Dems can keep NV & NM, then OH or MI are enough to put them over the top without FL. NV & NM and VA as blue and OH, MI, and FL to Rs results in an electoral college tie, which will result in a Trump win.

If all that matters is an "R" - no matter how loose that affiliation - as President, Trump seems to me to give them a plausible shot that, for example, Cruz would not.

It's really showing who people are, that's for sure

Right, Mitt Romney lost PA by 7 points but Trump can win it.

Well I think it's doubtful she'd only get 5% of the vote is she were a man too.
