What ever will Dayton and the other resident Republicans do if he does? Move to Canada, I suppose. https://www.rawstory.com/2016/08/re...re-scrambling-to-find-a-replacement-abc-news/
It's most likely a bit of hand waving on one side, and hopeful dreams on the other. I doubt he'd pull out, but he might be forced out. He's so decisive that anything could happen What we're really seeing is the Republican party crumbling around him. Either way, I'm unconcerned. Hillary will win regardless. Short of a spectacular gaffe or a heart attack.
A force out would require him being pressured into publicly quitting. I don't believe that there is an actual mechanism to remove a nominee.
They are an excuse to lose, I suppose they also could work as a reason to give-up. But that's pretty weak when his whole candidacy is premised on the idea that only he can fix the corruption in DC (well and a bunch of racist, mysoginistic bullshit). I certainly prefer it as an excuse for giving up, because things are going to get very bad if, when he loses, he maintains that the election was rigged. Enough idiots will believe him that it could lead to severe civil unrest.
Why would this bother me? I loathe Trump more than most people here. This would be like a dream come true. Prayers to God answered. A person would have to be an idiot to think I like Donald Trump in any way. If the alternative wasn’t Clinton I certainly would not vote for him. I’m again actually considering voting for Gary Johnson anyway though I don’t like his views on social issues.
So . . . after watching the DNC totally rig their entire process to make sure Hillary was the nominee, you're still going to sit there and blithely claim there'd be no shenanigans in the general election? Wow . . .
See, there's one of those idiots now. Setting aside whether or not a party has the right to run its own nominating process as it sees fit (it does), Lanzman apparently thinks the DNC can also control the FEC.
Trump is going a well enough job of turning people against him every time he opens the dickhole that passes for his mouth. Hilary need not bother, imo.
It amazes me that anyone can read those leaked emails and conclude that the DNC "totally rigged" their nominating process. The most damning emails had the CFO cooking up a scheme to smear Bernie AFTER it was mathematically impossible to win and he refused to drop out. He was trying to cook up a tactic if he were to consider an independent run for the nomination. All in all, there is no evidence that DNC officials actually did anything.
Right now she is about 5.5 points up and that might even go up to 7 points. The problem is we need to see if this is a temperary bump from the convention or a perminent new normal. I recall both Gore and Kerry having similar leads a few months before the election but neither one became President. It will be interesting to watch but let us not pretend that Hillary should not be slaughtering this guy and she really isn't. Hell, last week they were virtually tied so things are still uncomfortablely close.
http://www.gallup.com/poll/10687/kerry-edwards-lead-bush-double-digits-among-likely-voters.aspx You recall incorrectly. Kerry lead Bush by a wider margin post convention than Hillary leads now thus why I urge caution. Her lead could be just as temporary.
Idiotic article and thread. Trump's going nowhere. I think he's proved that enough already, not least by the millions of idiots/bigots who got him where he here today.
It's that capacity to ignore facts that got the GOP where it is today... On the edge of collapse. Good luck with that.... And good riddance.
Trump is, in fact, most likely going to claim the election was rigged after he loses. It will be his way of avoiding admitting that it was a mistake to run in the first place and, having decided to run, that it was a mistake to run such a staggeringly incompetent campaign. Trump never admits a mistake, which is also why he won't quit the race.
Add that he's managed to shit on many other groups that traditionally vote conservative such as veterans and you may very well see the end of the GOP. If there was any time for the Libertarian Party to move into place, it's now.
Honestly, I could see the Democratic Party growing large enough to split into 2 factions. The Bernie Bros seem to want to burn Corporate America and fiscal responsibility to the ground without the slightest inkling that a strong creator class makes for a strong and prosperous middle class. Just the mere fact that Hillary took campaign contributions from Wall Street firms seems to be some sort of black mark against her that I just don't get. Hopefully, whatever party emerges from the ashes of the GOP, I hope they leave the "Culture War" in the dirt.
