You just changed your argument. We are talking about the Republicans being able to get to 270.

Why do I even bother trying to have a conversation in this nuthouse forum.

If GOP nominates Donald Trump, they won't have any trouble at all getting to 270. King Hilarious will lose by a historic landslide.

If the Rovians manage to pull strings and nominate an establishment candidate like they did with Romney in 2012, they will lose.

What does a non presidential election year have to do with anything? I recall Republicans doing good in 2010 too....that didn't help them in 2012, now did it.

No, I didn't change anything, my argument has always been the only way Republicans will win is if they win EVERY swing state, not one of them, not some of time, but EVERY SINGLE ONE. If they lose one swing state, they have lost the election.

I do hope right wingers are dumb enough to pick Trump the Birther because then they would have no excuse as to why they were crushed in 2016. Please pick Trump the Birther to help the Democrats win this election.

What does a race in 2012 between two different people who are not running in 2016 have to do with anything?


Democrats have this need to pretend that Hillary will be just as successful as Obama when every piece of evidence points to the contrary.

They will. And once they do, and King Hilarious is sent back to the Hamptons, and Trump is in the WH, you will be like a pig in **** because it will give something for you to complain about endlessly. LOL

That would almost positively guarantee a Republican victory.

Simple, I am using what we call an "example" to show that trying to predict a presidential election based on non presidential election year results is useless.
