......Despite his occasional protestations to the contrary, Trump would be relying heavily on white voters in a general election. Since they still represent close to three-quarters of the electorate, it appears to be mathematically possible for him to win a majority. Potentially, he could win by increasing turnout in predominantly white areas, winning over Reagan Democrats, and bringing in enough new voters to overcome the unfavorable demographic trends facing the G.O.P. Arguing along these lines, some analysts have raised the possibility that Trump could sweep the Rust Belt states of Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and also flip a Democratic state in the Upper Midwest, either Wisconsin or Minnesota or both. A Trump rampage across the Rust Belt would transform the electoral map—it could even allow him to reach two hundred and seventy votes in the Electoral College without carrying Florida, which is usually a pivotal state. “Don’t laugh,” Zach Carter and Ryan Grim, of the Huffington Post, wrote last month. “Donald Trump could actually win this thing.”..............

I'm not.

He knows what he's talking about when it comes to Drumpf, though.

This morning, 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney savaged Trump in a speech at the University of Utah, saying he’s “playing the American public for suckers”.

"Here’s what I know. Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. He’s playing the American public for suckers — he gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat.”

“Let me put it plainly. If we Republicans choose Donald Trump as our nominee, the prospects for a safe and prosperous future are greatly diminished,” Romney said.

“Mr Trump is directing our anger for less than noble purposes. He creates scapegoats of Muslims and Mexican immigrants, he calls for the use of torture and for killing the innocent children and family members of terrorists. He cheers assaults on protesters. He applauds the prospect of twisting the Constitution to limit first amendment freedom of the press. This is the very brand of anger that has led other nations into the abyss.

He's spot on.

Political Analyst with a near perfect record makes his prediction.........it'll be

► The Donald ◄

Quote:

A professor who says his unique model for predicting U.S. election results has

a 96 percent success rate

says Donald Trump will likely be the next president.

Helmut Norpoth, a political science professor at Stony Brook University in New York, uses data from primary races to predict who will win the final vote.

He's applied his predictions model to elections dating back to 1912, and so far, he's only been wrong once: in 1960, when Democrat John F. Kennedy defeated Republican Richard Nixon.

Norpoth says he owes his 96 per cent success rate to a relatively simple formula.

"For each of these elections, you can take a look at what happens within the parties," he said. "A candidate who does better against the competition within his or her party beats the candidate of the other party."

For example, Norpoth said, Trump is currently leading in the Republican primaries. Without counting the results from Super Tuesday, the businessman-turned-candidate has dominated in races in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.

Meanwhile, Norpoth said, the support of Democratic voters has been more evenly split between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

As a result, Norpoth is projecting a Trump victory in the 2016 presidential election.......

Donald Trump Calls Mitt Romney a 'Failed Candidate'

Source: ABC

Quote:

Donald Trump slammed Mitt Romney this morning in response to the former GOP presidential nominee’s speech later today in which he’s expected to call Trump a "phony, a fraud."

"Mitt Romney was a failed candidate; should have beaten Barack Obama easily," Trump today told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos on “Good Morning America.”

Romney to Call Trump a 'Phony, a Fraud'

Romney is set address the Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah later this morning.

“They're leaving the Democrats. They're leaving the independents. They're no longer independent. And they're with me 100 percent.

"There's great enthusiasm in the Republican Party except in the establishment,” Trump argued.

Trump also said that he's "absolutely ready" for FOX News host Megyn Kelly in the GOP debate tonight in Detroit.

... up his jumper.

The irony is that while these professional politicians of the Establishment will boast about how they are 'representing their electorate' - the moment an amateur comes along like Donald Trump, these selfsame people then start condemning him as a 'populist' for saying things that are representative of public opinion ...

Greg, what satisfaction do you get from repeating the same things post after post? I doubt if anybody reads it, I certainly don't.
It's a bit like if I say it often enough it will come true.
Now if you had something different to say each time, serious or funny, people would pay attention. Otherwise it's just graffiti.
Crazy behaviour.

All of this is 100% true.

"Here’s what I know. Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. He’s playing the American public for suckers — he gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat.”

He applauds the prospect of twisting the Constitution to limit first amendment freedom of the press. This is the very brand of anger that has led other nations into the abyss.

Every last word.

"he calls for the use of torture and for killing the innocent children and family members"

That's what you're supporting.

You should be ashamed of yourself.
