1. The Republican establishment seems to have given up on one of their guys winning, and are sending signals they would support Trump, but not Cruz. Bob Dole said today he would support Trump as the nominee but not Cruz.
2. I saw some interesting polling late last week. Trump is the most popular Republican among African Americans and Hispanics. He wouldn’t win a majority of their vote, but he has a base of supporters among these groups that would take away Democratic votes.
3. Hillary just doesn’t excite me or that many Democrats for that matter. We know what we are getting if we vote for her. That is someone that is going to put corporations and other big players first rather than make any real waves or usher in some type of change.
I can't say I can really disagree with youhere too much Mal, kinda scares me really, but I thi k it's possible. I honestly thought Hillary was the next president less than a year ago but things certainly change. I'm really surprised how much traction Bernie has gained. Not sure if it's because of him or all of Hillary's baggage(which is considerable).
If it came down to a Sandersv Trump election I really think it would be close. There's many conservatives I know would rather NOT vote than vote for Trump. At least one thing is clearly positive, it's not just a same ol', ol' establishment primary and election (Clinton V Bush) and I think that benefits the country overall.
BTW I can't help but laugh whenever I see Jeb, his numbers and watching him in total disbelief that he's at the bottom of the barrel and Trumps on top. I do wish it were that way for Hillary as well, The establishment looking in..so to speak.
