Isn't it hypocritical for you to predict the demise of Hillary in the general election, yet you say Trump will win? The ONLY reasons you guys give to support this is Hillary's low approval numbers. I've got news for you; Trump's likability and approval numbers are even LOWER. Before you guys make another idiotic electoral map with a Trump landslide, keep that in mind. You guys are the reason that the Republican Party is currently frowned upon. Quit being sheep; Trump is NOT a Conservative.
People who support Trump are not the reason the party is frowned upon. That reason goes solely to the fact that the Establishment sucks balls and are not for the people, they are for enriching themselves anyway they can. BTW, we don't need a Conservative who relies on the Bible, we need a conservative who will change the status quo and Trump is more of a conservative than many of the R's running in that regard. The ONLY other one that seems they would change the status quo is Cruz or Carson, but Cruz can get a little too preachy with religion sometimes.

Have you seen the Democrats on this forum literally laughing at Republicans? They're doing it because they WANT Trump to make it to the general election; he would be very easy for Hillary to defeat. In essence, you're only furthering Hillary's agenda, not Trump's. Trump is the most unpopular candidate running, only second to Hillary. Tell me, in a logical way, how Trump can win based on that, and don't dare cite Hillary's unpopularity.

Who cares what the Democrats think, I mean really. Why would you? If Hillary wins the general election we are screwed as a country anyway and it's over. If that many people want to vote for a known criminal and serial liar there is no hope and nobody that the R's bring to the table is going to change their minds. It's as simple as that. Same thing with Sanders, if that many people want to go down the Socialism route we are crewed as a nation and it's time to just give up and prepare to hide as much money as you can, that's all there is to it. Who cares what the Establishments want, they are only in it for themselves. We need to let the people speak and cast a vote for who they think will be the best, not let the media, establishment or the other party have a say about who should be the candidate. This isn't about just winning, it's about healing this sick country. Romney isn't going to do it, Bush isn't going to do it, Rubio isn't going to do it, anyone that the GOP wants isn't going to do it, they just want to protect their cash cow that's why they ONLY want to win so they can retain that power and control, that's all they are interested in, not healing this country.

Those who continually bash Trump and those who say they wish him to be in the general election are Hillary supporters. The latter using a reverse physiology tacit to achieve the same end. If Hillary is elected all laughter will stop for a very long time. There is little humor in the way she will continue the decent to third world status of the nation.

This is how I look at it. I'm willing to let the country go rather than vote for another lukewarm moderate like Romney if an outsider to the establishment 'really' hasn't got a chance.
However, I think the media is just playing up Hillary and swaying public opinion. I do not believe she's as popular as they are claiming. When they say only Rubio or Bush have a chance against her, and Trump or Carson do not, I figure they are just lying. We will see.

If Trump actually wins the Republican nomination or goes third party (more likely) they might as well just be honest and call themselves the Fascist Party of the USA.
The Republicans just don't have any strong candidates, period. Trump is unqualified, but he at least conveys some energy and enthusiasm. Every other Republican is either a transparent money-grubber or dull as un-buttered white-bread toast.
The fact that Trump and Carson are the front-runners is indicative of how bad this crop of Republicans is. If they had a candidate that was both qualified and likable they'd probably win. As it is they only have a couple candidates that are somewhat likable, but not well qualified, or candidates that are reasonably well qualified, but unlikable (Bush, Kasich).
The Democrats were in the same situation in 2000 and 2004.

That's usually only the case if neither candidate is likable. For instance, in 2000 and 2004, none of the candidates seemed very likable, but W was less unlikable than Gore or Kerry. Consequently, he won.
