Who Has the Best Chance to Beat Hillary? Cruz or Trump?
Permalink  
 


  Personally, i think Trump would wallop Hillary.   Trump pulls in a greater cross section of voters.  He pulls in a lot of Democrats.     And, i think it is obvious that everyone, including the Establishment is fearful that Trump CAN beat Hillary.  That is why literally everyone is on the attack.  You would think the media would be scorching Cruz for his evangelical conservative creds but they aren't.  I think they believe Hillary will beat him but she cant' beat Trump.  Just my opinion and assessment.

If you're talking about the "best chance," I agree with you.

Could he actually DO it?

We'll have to wait & see.

Trump WILL beat Hillary. I think people are so fed up that he will be the choice for the majority. Not ALL but the majority.

Well, we dont' know who can win unless they run. That is why people who run around and say 'Oh so and so is not ELECTABLE, blah, blah". We dont know who is or isn't electable until they actually run. So, if someone wants to run, then run.

   Well, the GOP could very well throw this entire election to let her win.  Ryan and his ilk will be up to their shenanigans at the convention.

I think Trump is the modern era Adolph Hitler.

He appeals strongly to the gullible and people who've never seen movies of Hitler's speeches in the 1930's.

His attitudes , to me, align too closely with The Fuhrer.

 

Could Trump beat Hillary? The average American voter is not known for understanding the issues, nearly as much as being impressed by the bluster.

Flame suit on, I suspect I've insulted some people here, but honestly the idea of Trump having the power of the presidency ---

frightens me.

Even the most adamant Republican supporter I know (my brother) doesn't think Trump is a good candidate for the office.

 

Could Cruz win? It looks like a real possibility.

Comparing him to Hitler? Really? That is pretty dramatic considering Obama and Hilary could care less about Israel.

Well, when in doubt, go for maximum drama. I mean, once you toss out the Hitler label, what else is left? lol

Hillary is actually responsible for deaths, while Trump is not. Sooooooo, comparing Trump to a mass murderer instead of Hillary is a bit wonky.

 Ahhh, so it would be better to put a callous bitch who has proven she cares nothing about national security or lives of Americans over a guy you hate and compare to Hitler based on nothing?

A low information voter is someone who pays attention to snippets and yellow journalism headlines only and make up their minds based on those media manipulated "facts". An non low information voter is one who listens FULLY to both sides and vote for a greater cause.

Truthfully, I don't think either of them can.

However, Trump has a better chance. The fact is, as much as the "conservative base" of the Republican party b!tches and moans about Trump--are they truly going to vote for Hilary? No. At the end of the day, while a few may stay home, vote Libertarian, or whatever--the fact is that most of them will end up voting for Trump if he is at the top of the ticket.

Cruz would obviously get those votes, but he won't get some of the Trump voters, especially in swing states such as Florida, Ohio, potentially Pennsylvania, etc...

So, while I think that either candidacy could be a disaster for the Republicans--I do think Trump has a better shot in November, especially if the Republican base would quit their whining and belly-aching and wrap their pea brains around the fact that he is going to be the nominee.

Hillary would be a far bigger disaster. I can't imagine the mailaise and depression that will set into this country if she wins. It's bad now. The economy is terrible. People are losing their jobs while Dum Dum tangos.

I think a more apt comparison to Hitler would be that of Obama. And the public was stupid enough to vote him in. Twice.

I think Trump has a better chance of beating Hillary.

From MSNBC:

There are three qualities to Trump’s presidential campaign that invoke parallels to Nazism. The first is his intense cult of personality, which, for Trump supporters, is particularly driven by his reputation as a successful businessman who can “fix things,” and by his willingness to brazenly defy the taboos of political correctness. In addition, there is his blatant racist demagoguery, from his spurious and offensive claims that undocumented Mexican immigrants are largely criminals and rapists to his recent proposal that Muslims carry ID cards identifying their religion. Finally, there are the undertones of violence, both inspired by his rhetoric (e.g. the two Bostonians who savagely assaulted a homeless man while invoking Trump’s name) and directly advocated by Trump himself (e.g. his open agreement with supporters who beat up a #BlackLivesMatter protester).

 Pure ignorance.  People who make such claims have ZERO knowledge of the conditions in Weimar Germany.

 

People who pass it on don't, either.  

 

As to the points above--how in the heck do you think Bill Clinton was so popular? It was that VERY SAME cult of personality.  People continued to believe in him long after many of the scandals of his presidency came out--yet no one compared him to Hitler.

As to the "taboos" of political correctness--that is a GOOD thing.  People are tired of the perpetually offended knotheads. 

As to the third--that is made up media tripe.  They disagree with building a wall--so they call it "racist".  Like the students at Emory university, they are afraid and blame Trump even when he has NOTHING to do with the immediate situation.

 Kasich has what, 20 delegates? 

Bernie has over 900. 

Comparing the two is just stupid.

You cant compare Repo and Dems. Dems have super delegates and they control the process.

 BS.  Neither one has a chance to win.  It's pretty much the same.  Delegate count is irrelevant if you don't have enough.  Whether you are one, or 1,000 short.

So? Nearly half the delegates are still on the table, and the super delegates can switch sides to align with the popular vote. Bernie does, in fact, still have a sid chance.

I agree with Dona, that Bernie has a better chance than Kasich. And if the damn attorney general would get off his ass and indict Hillary as he should - that would give Bernie quite the edge.

Well, she worked for Obama. So that tarnishes his administration too. And, she has dirt on a lot of other Dems as well no doubt.
