I don’t know… the number of registered Democrats outnumbers the number of Republicans.
And talk radio
I realize there is a lot of resistance to Trump. My thinking is that will change in the coming months, leading up to and after the convention. Most of these people in the GOP don’t want Hillary; they are just still furious/horrified by Trump, which is understandable. (I sincerely hope there is more there than just bruised egos and not wanting to admit they called it wrong.) They have to live in this country too. Their heads will clear in time, even if they are still justifiably furious and horrified. I will be surprised if the party doesn’t unite, actually.
Candidates who lose in the general election rarely get a second chance. If she loses, I would hope that we don’t hear of her as a candidate in 2020. I think it would be more interesting to see what happens if Trump gets the nomination and wins. Would somebody try to unseat him as the 2020 Republican nominee, regardless of what he would do in office?
I hope you are right. But most of the people I know who say never Trump say they believe it would be sinful for them to vote for Trump.
Yeah, I know. Let’s keep an eye on Glenn Beck and Tony Perkins.
Candidates who lose in the general election rarely get a second (or third, if they were the incumbent) change at it. Plus she’ll be 73 in 2020, and some people tried to make age an issue when Reagan was the same age in '84, or was that because he was a Republican?
I don’t think anybody has brought this up about Sanders, who I believe is 74? I would hope that, if she loses (and I hope does loses), we don’t hear of her as a candidate in 2020. I think a more interesting thing would be if Trump gets the nomination and wins. Would somebody try to unseat him as the Republican nominee in 2020 regardless of what he would do in office?I really kind of meant it more tongue in cheek about the fact that Hillary is way too power hungry.Candidates who lose in the general election rarely get a second (or third, if they were the incumbent) change at it.

Except that Trump is in no way a conservative.
IDK. Perhaps she’ll be an unpopular president who has to work with, and compromise with, Congress.
So very true. We traveled out of the country recently, and friends asked what in the name of heaven can people who vote for Trump be thinking. They were aghast, as should we all be.
How do you feel about Chris Christie? Rudy Guiliani? Rick Scott?
Indeed. If Hillary cannot beat Donald, then I will not only feel foolish, but I will also never make another prediction.
But I still say, despite our two-party system, the United States of America would never elect DJT president.
Glenn Beck is taking Indiana hard…may be a month or two before he is on board.
He always did have a weakness for drama.This is a pretty good assessment. I, for one, am in the #NeverTrump camp, and believe that the electoral college favors the Democrat (Clinton, almost certainly.) While the Republican nominee (likely Trump) will win more states, the Dem will likely take the ones that matter. A looming question is whether disaffected Sanders supporters will turn out for Clinton, and how many Republicans will refuse to support Trump and write in someone else, or not vote for President (plenty, I think.)
Today was the worst! Trump fell to new lows in behavior.
I don’t mind when my choice doesn’t win, but I really don’t want Trump. #NeverTrumpIndeed. If Hillary cannot beat Donald, then I will not only feel foolish, but I will also never make another prediction.

Many of us believe that each of the likely candidates is evil in his/her own way. I never vote for a pro-abortion candidate, and believe that at least one of them is so dangerous and profoundly ill-prepared to step into the most powerful position in the world that casting a vote for either candidate would be sinful. I’ll be writing in.
