(10,345 posts)Trump has passion.
Hillary doesn't.
Trump has a following that trusts him.
Hillary has high untrustworthy numbers and Trump's following is larger in trusting him. Compare the rallies. :/
Trump may be atrocious and is totally controversial, but it only seems to help him.
All of Hillary's controversy hurts her.
It's not the best recipe for victory.
Plus, Hillary supporters whine when Bernie points out truths about her.... Imagine Trump using that same true ammunition with a flare of lying.

I've been saying it for months and nobody seems to talk about it, but we need voter output to beat Trump.
But here our party goes, allowing voter suppression and other corrupt shit to pass by. Actively suppressing Bernie and shining light on Hillary despite the obvious enthusiasm gap.
My vote for Bernie is still my most important one.

We might even in up with Trump in 2016. I still think the DNC/DLC/DWS/HRC are clueless about the mood of this country by millions.

(959 posts)going through an old box looking for something else but came across a picture of Butch Fitzpatrick (Eddie Munster) and me from back in the early 90's. He was a VIP guest at a NJ bar for the weekend. I was a cop in town at the time and stepped in and got a picture. I'm not kidding you... we got a call from a local hotel on the following Monday about someone walking off on their bill. It was him! He was all drugged up - unfortunately.

(44,397 posts)Ted Cruz was too creepy to save the GOP from Donald Trump
Trump's conquest of the Republican Party is nearly complete. This has left an awful lot of conservative Republicans in a state of shock. Instead of the ideologically pure candidate they have longed for since Ronald Reagan rode off into the sunset, primary voters have given them a standard-bearer who is soft on gays and Planned Parenthood, all over the map on foreign policy and eager to wield the power of government to enforce his quirky ideas.
Conservatives have only themselves to blame for their predicament. For years they have happily ridden the wave of anger and paranoia churned up by talk radio and other right-wing media. When Trump came along and offered himself as the avatar of that unhinged rage, they waited too long to stop him from stealing their base. And they made a bad calculation. They reckoned that if they could get a true conservative in a position to go one-on-one with Trump, all the forces of the right would coalesce and defeat the usurper. Instead, conservatives learned a couple of hard lessons.
----
The second thing they learned is that a purist conservative will not automatically win the hearts and minds of Republican voters at least if that person is Ted Cruz. People vote with their gut as much as with their brain and, in their gut, a lot of Republican voters felt queasy when they looked at Cruz. Smarmy, obsequious, self-righteous, calculated, creepy whatever the precise assessment, most voters just did not like Ted Cruz. His victory in Wisconsin was a high water mark. After that, the more people saw of Cruz, the more they voted for Trump.
