She's doesn't beat trump if he gets the nomination. Trump will get all of the crazy right, he'll win the independent vote, and he'll get a considerable push from first time voters that think our two party system is nonsense. If he can get past whoever the republican establishment gets behind, he'll show his true colors, and people will find out just how moderate trump is on a lot of issues.

At the end of the day, the right will still support him because his last name isn't Clinton, and he'll receive a push from an unprecedented amount of first time voters, new republicans, and men of all races. The kidos, hipsters, and old school hippies aren't going to get behind the Hill-dog either. The college and far left vote will be extremely low in this election once Bernie is gone.

Prepare to be blown away at what happens next November. Mark my words, the electoral map is going to look like it did in 1980 if Trump wins the Republican nomination. People are tired of the BS. The people want someone that can convince Washington to stop spending our money on things that can't be fixed, that also won't get us involved in anymore stupid wars. They want someone with a set of balls for once too.

I am so tired of the Clinton and Bush Dynasties. If Clinton is elected, it will be four more years of Obama.

Bernie Sanders trounces Trump in general election match-ups though. Doing better than Hillary against Trump.

The republican race looks to be shaping up as Rubio versus Cruz. It is hard to see either of them winning enough electoral votes to beat Clinton.

I'm just trying figure out where the time's gone with the election being held next week.

I don't even remember the conventions or the acceptance speeches of either candidate, let alone what happened at the debates.

A year (let's say 7 months for the conventions) is a lifetime in politics. Ask Ed Muskie about inevitability 4 months out before the first primary or caucus. Or Gary Hart. Or even Hilary Clinton.

It's smart for Republicans to put out the Hillary is a certainty narrative. The only hope Republicans have no matter who is running is that Dems and dem-leaning Indies stay home. These groups are known to be a lazy, unengaged lot and if Clinton looks like a sure thing, then they might skip voting. Reps, on the other hand, vote against the opponent, more than for their own. So they show up regardless.

"This comes as good news for Mr. Trump as polling shows that he would have electoral college sweep if he were paired against Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton."
Prntly.com is making the Onion appear to be a reputable news source.

Sadly, it's looking like another 4 years of politics as usual, and a likely another 8 years. Any democrat, especially Hillary, or republican, except Trump, are bought and paid for politicians. The oligarchs will assure their reign will continue as they drive the US into a second world economy.

It's still way too soon for a confident prediction, but if I had to bet I'd pick Hilary. I was tepid towards her for a long time, but the more I see her, the more I like her. She's smart, knowledgeable, composed, mentally tough, and knows the political ropes better than anyone as far as I can tell.

While Trump is still polling well, he strikes me as the opposite of Hilary: The more exposure he gets, the less appealing he is. I don't see Carson having much long-term appeal either.
