May 8, 201610 yr Turnout will be incredibly low IMO. What's the average % of registered voters that typically vote? Isn't it well below 50%? Yup, the majority of the minority that bother to vote rule. We have no one to blame but ourselves when we sit back and crab about things and then are too lazy to educate ourselves on the candidates and to go to a polling place to vote.
May 8, 201610 yr Seems Hillary has some issues too. RealClearPolitics - Election Other - Clinton: Favorable/Unfavorable It's certainly going to be a race to the bottom which is why I'm convinced neither will be able to get much if anything through Congress. They simply are not popular and whoever is elected will be a one term president.

They simply are not popular and whoever is elected will be a one term president. Who knows what the makeup of Congress will be next January? Ryan has already signalled that it is acceptable to not endorse Trump. What happens to Trump voters when the establishment puts up a third party candidate to "Save" down ballot races, or to try and prevent HRC form getting to 270 electoral votes? Betrayed Trump voters will for vote DEM in the congressional races and both houses will be controlled by DEMS.

Doesn't matter what the makeup will be, a president with huge unfavoribility ratings is not going to be able to rally votes. Everyone is out for themselves.

Unfortunately, it will take a tragedy the magnitude of 9/11 to do this. Wholesale slaughter of school children and church parishioners couldn't do it. Natural disasters won't do it. Just my opinion.

May 9, 201610 yr Have you checked out the favorability of Congress lately? Way, way lower than that of the current POTUS, who, if many here are to be believed, is maybe half a step above Satan.
May 9, 201610 yr Have you checked out the favorability of Congress lately? Which is exactly why I made my prediction.
May 9, 201610 yr Most Ironic Thread Title Ever. Trump and I have an equal chance to become President. Zero. No, wait, I have a better chance than him, HRC could still theoretically pick me as a VP which could then turn into the presidency. I predicted he would win the nomination and it would doom the republican party. And the beauty of it is that is going to happen now, no matter what anyone does. So, the reality of candidate Trump is setting in, and in the form of another 8 years of Dem Presidency, a liberal SC for the rest of all of our lifetimes, control of the Senate, gains in the House, and a dismantling of the opposition party. So thank you Trump supporters for giving the people you dislike the most (liberals) everything we could ever want. The only thing that could make it any better is if this trainwreck could somehow happen in slow motion between now and November and all the Trump supporters could argue with it, deny it, try to reason around it, and just generally go frothy at the mouth until the reality could no longer be denied. Oh, my bad, that is exactly what is happening. Fun times.

They simply are not popular and whoever is elected will be a one term president. I'm not convinced there is any such thing as a 1 term president . You can be horrific on either side of the isle and get reelected - See Bush and the current piece of work .
May 9, 201610 yr I have said this many times over the past 9 months or so, in order for Trump to win he has to beat Ronald Reagan's white voter numbers. With so many women being anti Trump, the challenge to win the white voter percentage needed is even greater. Trump has broken many expectations but the demographics are so against him it is hard to find any path to winning for him. It is very early and anything can happen, but it is going to take a miracle for Trump to win.
May 9, 201610 yr Say one thing for us honkies , we will get out and vote . LOL Including my favorite honkie, King Tut.
