counterpoint: trump is the political equivalent of clown shoes and he is still within 4-5 points of beating hillary with 30 days left till the election. any other candidate including mitt would be beating her.

just to be clear; the issues you think would prevent clinton from gutting romney's core support would not exist if romney was running, because romney would never reduce an election to a ratchet gutter brawl of attrition.
he would challenge her on positions and lose. he would challenge her on experience and lose. then he would fall back on the conservative christian talking points that would keep him on the paid lecture circuit starting november 9th.
i think the mistake youre making is thinking that the clinton we see on stage against today is the same one that we would see on stage vs romney or anyone else. i dont believe it would be. shes basically locked in a cage with a fucking crazy person right now. there are no right moves for her to make beyond letting trump set himself on fire every time he opens her mouth. she cant debate policy with him; he has no policies. she cant debate experience with him; he has none.
and the scariest part of this entire situation is that its the republican party itself thats allowed its non-fringe candidates to be excluded from the party dialog, guaranteeing that our generation might never see a viable conservative candidate ever again.
so when you say 'oh anyone even mitt could beat clinton' i think you have your head in the sand; no one on stage with trump during the primaries was going to have significant advantage over a pro wall street and pro choice secretary of state, and the people capable of representing the republican party as a sane, measured, financially responsible option never got near the stage because Bible/Tea Party/Birtherism/Duck Dynasty is the current republican mission statement.
It obviously effected you on some level, so it's not pointless. That stuff she said really rubbed you the wrong way, and I don't believe that it was the part that she doesn't understand how defense attorneys work. What she said should be gutting to anyone who has children, and speaks to the character of a soulless, Machiavellian, Maoist like Hillary; that literally laughed out loud that she got that guy off with time served.
The point of all of it is to say that if the left can paint anyone that votes for Trump as people that are ok with grabbing pussies, then everyone on the left that votes for Hillary is totally ok with protecting rapists like her husband and what she did as a defense attorney.
personally, and i get that these are ostensibly 'heads up' polls, but personally i think a lot of that was because bernie's white knight schtick really calved off a significant number of people who would otherwise be loyal to hillary.
or, admittedly, im so shocked that a mental toddler drug addict is on the stage with a career politician that i'm over estimating hillary's appeal. that really may well be the case here.
Remember Trump and Romney were friends at least back in 2012 when Trump endorsed Romney and contributed to his campaign.
During the primaries, Trump insulted Romney and blamed him for losing back in 2012, then Romney became his worst enemy.
Do newspaper endorsements matter? I doubt it since people no longer read them.
Do endorsements from members of Congress and Senators matter? Nope, people don't give a shit.
Honestly, people are sick of the Clinton's.
They remember the 90's and Bill Clinton getting blow jobs from White House interns.
They know that Bill & Hillary Clinton are corrupt politicians and would do anything to hold onto power.
This is why Donald Trump still has a chance.
Less than one month left.

Just wondering out loud if Dan Bilzerian has taken this opportunity to start randomly grabbing pussies?
Ken Bone, the undisputed winner of last night’s debate, despite the fact that he can’t decide whether or not he’s voting for Trump, appeared on CNN this morning wearing the same red sweater he wore last night. He made this fashion choice, he explained, because he split his pants on the way to the debate.
“I had a really nice olive suit, and my mother would have been very proud to see me wearing on television, but apparently I have gained about 30 pounds,” Bone told Carol Costello Monday morning. “And when I went to get in my car the morning of the debate I split the seat of my pants all the way open. So the red sweater is plan B. I’m glad it worked out.”
yeah i think that's the case here. if not for trump, hillary clinton would be the most disliked and distrusted presidential candidate in history since polling began. those words aren't hyperbole, they are actual facts measured by data. we have never before seen any person with negatives this high get elected. period.
i'm not sure who you think is inspired by a hillary clinton presidency. even liberals loathe the idea of voting for her. (i'm a registered democrat by the way.)
looks like same girl from my city...

totally fair.
its funny because my friends with really significant net worths (8+ digits) are becoming increasingly enthusiastic about hillary for the same reason most democrats are not; shes establishment. shes been operating above the partisan turbulence layers for years and definitely isnt looking to rock the boat at a crucial point in our economic evolution.

lol, look at this story that dropped minutes after i finished my post. this is exactly what i am saying
Leaked Email: Clinton Ally Was ‘Petrified’ the GOP Wouldn’t Nominate Trump

liberal columnist to john podesta, courtesy of wikileaks:
Quote:
“Right now I am petrified that Hillary is almost totally dependent on Republicans nominating Trump….she has huge endemic political weaknesses that she would be wise to rectify…..even a clown like Ted Cruz would be an even money bet to beat and this scares the hell of out me.”
what are the thoughts on voter turnout this year? is it going to be a record low? its gotta be right?
OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Answering a question last night about his $916 million income tax loss carryforward in 1995, Donald Trump stated that “Warren Buffett took a massive deduction.” Mr. Trump says he knows more about taxes than any other human. He has not seen my income tax returns. But I am happy to give him the facts.
My 2015 return shows adjusted gross income of $11,563,931. My deductions totaled $5,477,694, of which allowable charitable contributions were $3,469,179. All but $36,037 of the remainder was for state income taxes.
The total charitable contributions I made during the year were $2,858,057,970, of which more than $2.85 billion were not taken as deductions and never will be. Tax law properly limits charitable deductions.
My federal income tax for the year was $1,845,557. Returns for previous years are of a similar nature in respect to contributions, deductions and tax rates.
I have paid federal income tax every year since 1944, when I was 13. (Though, being a slow starter, I owed only $7 in tax that year.) I have copies of all 72 of my returns and none uses a carryforward.
Finally, I have been audited by the IRS multiple times and am currently being audited. I have no problem in releasing my tax information while under audit. Neither would Mr. Trump – at least he would have no legal problem.

I think that when you're a young attorney who just won an impossible case.. I wont say laughing is forgivable, but I think its a human response from someone who feels like they just climbed to the top of a mountain. And if I had to guess, Id say she regrets that moment for all the right and obvious reasons.
I'm petrified of Trump dropping out too. If the GOP pulls this shit I'll be pissed and the country will be perma fucked.
The billionaire backers that forced Ted Cruz to support Trump worry me. Smokey back room....
Ted Cruz is Freddy Krueger in the nightmares of Democrats.
+450
if trump pulls out, it will be viewed as an angle shoot and likely be adopted as a viable election strat for however long the republic lasts.
Trump is going after the gop. I love it.
