The amount of voters who sit out or write in a candidate is actually a small percentage when it comes to those who would vote.

Doesn't matter if it's a Dem or GOP President, odds are a Presidency will flip to the other party after 8 years. If the GOP can't win this one they have only themselves to blame. Romney should have kept his powder dry until 2016.

Like what grass roots involvement? Do you have any data to back up this claim or is it just a personal opinion. If your personal opinion is that, that is fine, I am not arguing how you personally feel, but if there is actual data, I would like to see it.

Excellent point. Indies are not a Trump lock by any means.

You know, Trump's party.

The fall of the establishment GOP has been a long time coming. How ironic would it be if the final blow was struck by Trump? The "Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho" of the 2016 election.

Personal opinion based on grass roots involvement. This data point has not been "officially" surveyed at this point, as far as I am aware.

No, Bernie supporters would vote 99% for Hillary to keep Trump or the GOP out of the White House.

Romney would still lose today. My opinion, no statistical backup.
