Really? Other than his inflammatory rhetoric about how he's going to oust all the illegals ~ he's probably the least threatening Republican candidate to a Democrat. Namely, he's not a religious fanatic.

Remember all those posters threatening to leave the country when Obama won? Hahaha. That is the DUMBEST thing ever because we all know they are not leaving. In fact, most are still right here.

They've been foaming at the mouth ever since.

Now they are dealing with a guy who fights back and couldn't care less what they think or say.

I think they'll go totally insane if Trump wins.

Mmmm, yummy.
Really? Were you on CD when Obama won twice? Oh my Lord, I have NEVER seen such moaning, groaning, crying, cursing, tearing their hair out and threatening succession in my entire life. Ever.

Good Lord. It was the silliest display I have EVER seen.

Whoever is elected won't faze me in the least. I will continue to breathe in and out and live my life like I have done through numerous elections. I count on no politician to impact my daily life.

Calm down.

Once the illegals are legalized, Dems will drop their courting of the white youth vote. It was all BS anyway.

It's fascinating getting a glimpse of what's going around the right-wing noise machine.

I will laugh, because at least we will have four years of comic relief . I think even most Republicans would groan if he won to be honest.

He won't win due to our idiotic electoral voting system. Hillary will win the large population states since they are full of minorities. The only large state Trump might win is Texas. Winning Idaho, Kansas, etc won't get it done. It's an unfortunate truth.

Yes, the fact is that the Republicans have less and less states to count on reliably anymore. Ohio is up for grabs ,as is Florida, Virginia, and Colorado. The Dems don't have to win a lot of states to carry an election, but the Republicans have to do far better in order to carry theirs. That's the Republicans fault though for placing all their faith in one shrinking voting block. That works great in midterms, but less so in the general election.

Depending on the fringe vote to get elected is rarely successful.

Ohio is supposedly always in question, but they always go Democrat. I seriously doubt Florida will go Republican either. I support neither party- they're all crooks. I just think by and large- Republicans are the lesser of two evils.

With current predictions, the R's would have to win every toss up state to win the necessary electoral votes. Regarding Trump, I don't personally hate him. I find him vulgar and appealing to the lowest common denominator. But, I'd prefer him over one of the nominees running on a Christian "Taliban" platform. Anyway, it doesn't look good for the R's. Peace.

right because democrats were so calm and collected after gore lost to bush in 2000. sorry but they went off the deep end, and if they had the majority in the house, they would have impeached bush. we know this because they called for bushs impeachment almost since day one in office.

and because they couldnt impeach bush, they made everything he did seem as bad as possible and laid a lot of crap at his feet despite the fact that much of it was started during the clinton years, things like the housing bubble collapse for instance. and hen bush tried to make changes to prevent to collapse, the democrats blocked every effort by lying to the public about the housing bubble.
