Not really, the GOP is really screwed because if Trump is nominated, they will lose in 2016, and if Trump is not nominated they will lose in 2016. I call that a win-win for the Democrats.
There's absolutely no basis for this. The problem with democrats is that they REALLY believe everyone else thinks like them. Your two top candidates have no chance. You've got a lying, shrewish hag who hates military and law enforcement and an old white socialist from the whitest state in America who is supposedly the champion of minorities and the underdog. Reminds me of the dorky kids in high school who had to say something about everything the teacher said- no one else in class cares what you have to say or think.
.....With Trump's high disapproval rating, Republicans abandoning the party this election cycle merely to keep him out of the White House could be a real cause for concern for the GOP.
What are you talking about? Trumps favorability ratings now stand at 51%, this is better than Obama when he was reelected in 2012.
In fact, Obama's approval rating in terms of handling the economy was a dismal 26% before he was relected. Trump's is far far higher than this.
But you also said months ago that Trump wasn't a real candidate, would not last, would drop out soon.
You weren't accurate about that either.
So while you continue to tell us why Trump won't make it, his crowds get larger & larger.
Well I wasn't expecting him to drum up the idiocy so much to support him....though showing up to celebrate their moron doesn't equal votes. His low IQ voters still have to turn up on voting day.
So no, he isn't a real candidate, he is a sorry excuse of a candidate that far right wingers have been propping up as they are spoon fed bigoted soundbites from him that match their own bigotry.

Actually the basis for this is the fact that the people who are in charge of the GOP do not like Trump and will do everything they can from letting him be the nomination. Just because you vote for a candidate in a primary doesn't mean that party has to pick who you voted for.

It's the statements like you make - that will insure that people will come out to vote for Trump. Tell someone not to do something - that they aren't intelligent - that you know better than they do - and those people will come out and cut the nose off their own face just to prove you wrong - wait and see.
You libs are going about this all wrong - you should be having discussions - not smack downs and name calling - as to why your candidate is better. Convince me that 4 years of Hillary or Bernie are not another 4 years of Obama. Convince me - there will be transparency - convince me that he/she has a plan for more jobs so I again can become the middle class citizen that I was instead of the lower middle class citizen I've become in the past 6 years.
Your demonizing Trump - is making him St Trump to all that despise what the Democratic party and Obama has done in the last 7 years. The news features him nightly - and any publicity is good publicity. The media has the lowest credibility rating of any profession - bash Trump and you're only securing him votes.
This Democrat may very well vote for him - I won't stay home - I won't vote for Hillary or Bernie - since my party can't come up with a viable candidate - I won't vote 3rd party unless Trump goes Independent and then I'll vote for him just to po both parties off.
Trump pulls absolutely huge crowd in the very liberal state of Mass. Home to the Kennedys, John Kerry, and Elizabeth Warren. Puts to rest the silly commentary that Trump has appeal only in the former "slave states".
No other political candidate has this sort of grass roots appeal. Not even close This crowd is far far larger than the event that Hillary Clinton held in NYC to announce her candidacy. If she can't win Mass., then she is facing a landslide loss.

Well, "the moron" is apparently smarter than the news media right and left, the Republican establishment and the approximately 16 other candidates and their campaign staffs competing once or now against him. He hasn't failed you by raising your taxes, sending you to war, increasing the cost of your health insurance and/or raising your deductible. He hasn't cut your hours at work or replaced you with a foreigner. He hasn't twisted anyone's arm to come to his rallies or forced you into his helicopter. He hasn't bowed to anyone...and as far as I can see, he doesn't golf in his shorts.
