Maybe, but the moment they do that candidate becomes Establishment. The anti-establishment right may have Woody Allen's problem of never wanting to belong to a club that would have him as a member.

I find it odd that pundidiots think Trump is going to get killed in the debates (politico I believe made this point). Umm..who is going to out argue him? Jebbers! Boring @ ss Walker? Sure, maybe Cruz could but he's not going to try, correctly positioning himself as the 2nd choice for Donald supporters. Meanwhile Trump has spent more time before the cameras than all 14 other people running combined.

Walker cleans his clock on record. No one else has run a Purple State (executive experience), destroyed the public unions, cut the education budget, passed and signed anti-abortion legislation, given money away to billionaire friends, AND passed and signed PRO GUN legislation. Like everyone else I thought we were debating whether we should have some MORE strict gun legislation but Walker in ("The NRA Is going to be gaga over me.") fashion passed looser gun laws.

He's got it all folks. Leading in Iowa too. The momentum will carry him to the nomination. And when Hillary destroys herself like she did last time? It's all over but the crying.

I find it hilarious that you are the king prognositicator around here for politics. Please oh great and wise, Carnac. Tell us who will be nominated by the GOP. Tell us who will be President. So, then all the rest of us can relax at home and let all the stupid lemmings who don't know better vote.

It may be a bit. Walker may have 0% shot of winning. However, everything I've posted about him has been a fact. So, mock me all you want. You're the one who's telling everyone around here whose vote counts and whose doesn't. Not me.

I wouldnt begin to guess who will get the GOP nomination but none of them are a threat. Hillary is gonna walk away with it. It doesnt take Carnac to see that. Her machine is too great and the GOP cant get out of their own way long enough to let her "scandals" take her down.

Lets say it is Walker vs. Hillary just cause you have some unhealthy obsession with the guy. We already know no minority is voting for Walker and he aint winning the women vote either. His base loves him and the conservative white male Christian has his back but no one else so the numbers dont add up unless he somehow double's Texas' EV count. He isnt going into Pennsylvania with his union busting and supply side economics and flipping them nor will he be flipping any of the west coast states, the New England States or the Midwest. Then, the second he starts talking economic policy all Hillary will have to do is show a comparison of Minnesota and Wisconsin along with a heaping helping of how he approved public financing of the Bucks stadium while destroying the UW System. The dude will get crushed in debates because he is about as lifeless and boring as Al Snore was. He has no foreign policy experience or war stories to fall back on so he probably gets about the same number EV as Romney did.

I know you dont like it because it doesnt allow you to **** down your leg and run around all mad at the world but that is your issue not mine. My guess is Nate Silver makes a similar prediction a few weeks before the election, everyone will ignore him and he will be proven right again. I offered to bet you but you arent going for it, but hey write it down, put it in your sig and if I am wrong I will own up to it...will you if you are wrong? I dont think you ever mea culped over Sanchoing over Romney :D ;) :p

If Trump gets anywhere near a lead in delegates closing in on the convention, the RNC will just change the rules. It is entirely possible that if Trump were the nominee he would lose all 50 states and destroy the GOP down ticket. There is no way they would risk that.

I agree...the only thing that might save him is most of his scandals are known to people so there wont be any October Surprises. That said he would lose so badly even Mondale would point and laugh!

But if we are wrong...
 
Re: Campaign 2016 -- Don't Let the Perfect Become the Enemy of the Good

And this is where Trump's mouth will start to get the better of him. No way does he walk that comment back either, it's not in his nature.
 
Re: Campaign 2016 -- Don't Let the Perfect Become the Enemy of the Good

I stand by my comment that he's the single most embarrassing thing to happen in American politics in my lifetime.
