You are right. Johnson/Goldwater is a much better analogy.

I heard the same thing - that's extraordinary. Add to that, he won EVERY County in ALL 5 States. Nobody was predicting anything close to that. I thought maybe about 100 Bound Delegates if he had a really good night, but it's even more than that. He has also won almost ALL of the Delegate races in PA, which will give him at least another 50-60 Delegates. Extraordinary Night for Trump on all fronts.

You're right--Mondale had the ability to form coherent thoughts in his head and then articulate them in front of an audience. Trump obviously lacks this gift.

Trump's road to 2nd place marches on.

Do you think Hillary will perform worse among men than Trump will among women? Most women I know can't stand him. Hillary will at least get support among men who are not white, straight, and conservative/independent/faux liberal.

actually Goldwater was a boring candidate......and LBJ had the 1964 election wrapped up because the death of JFK.

unless Obama gets killed by an assassin before the election, I don't see Hillary riding a wave of the sentimental mood of a nation into victory like LBJ did in 1964.


try again!

Republicans want him, it is the Republican Establishment Elite that does not want him.

As bad a night as it was for Cruz, Kasich, and Sanders, it was even worse for Chris Christie.

I don't think she'll even come close to getting the white male vote. She threw it away a long time ago by bashing white males every chance possible. She will probably live to regret that.
