Your gut feeling

[Lawud]

If it plays out Hillary against Trump

Who wins?

[Kenjie]

1. The Establishment

[Lawud]

2. good answer

[Jesus Malverde]

4. Nailed it...nt

[LWolf]

20. +`

[Live and Learn]

31. +10,000 nt

[Ino]

3. Trump (nt)

[Recursion]

5. Clinton; the GOP establishment will torpedo a Trump campaign

Though I doubt they'll let him get the nom to begin with.

[Jarqui]

6. Hate to say it but Trump

People want change.

Hillary represents things will largely continue as they are. She'll tweak Obamacare, tweak bank reform, won't be able to pass anything on guns, etc but most of her efforts will fail under gridlock.

People will hold their nose and say "we might as well give the racist narcissist a chance ... at least he can't be as easily bought"

[PoliticalMalcontent]

7. Clinton vs Trump is a race that would be endlessly fascinating.

All of the polls have Clinton over Trump in a head-to-head, and I'd follow along with the wisdom of the crowds.

It'd be a very low turn-out election, I believe.

[Proserpina]

12. I wouldn't want to live here, whatever the outcome

[PoliticalMalcontent]

14. and this right here is the problem.

Shouldn't a democratic candidate inspire more confidence in her base? That's one reason why Trump may pull it out.

[Fumesucker]

8. Trump has perfected the Gish Gallop, it's a really difficult proganda technique to counter

And it works on far more people than it would in a nation not supersaturated with absolute garbage media in the first place.

I think Bernie would be much better at countering Trump than Hillary simply because there are so many things Hillary can't talk about with any authority at all.

This still from the video below is what your audience will look like if you seriously try to counter a Gish Gallop, it's frustrating as all hell.

[Proserpina]

13. So has Hillary, if we are going to be honest about it

That's why Bernie has surged. People can tell the difference and they are tired of the BS.

[Fumesucker]

16. Did you look at this yet?

Perfect example.

[EdwardBernays]

9. Trump

And pretty soundly

[Hoyt]

10. Clinton in a walk. She's the only one who can stand up to his bullying. Probably has photos

and stories to tell. Face-to-face debates -- PBS could charge and balance the national debt.

[RiverLover]

11. The anti-establishment candidate would win in a landslide.

Trump would trump.

GO Bernie!!!!

[PoliticalMalcontent]

15. That's kind of the vibe I'm getting too. It's an anti-establishment year.

[SCantiGOP]

17. Trump would carry 10 states

[Odin2005]

18. Trump.

[JRLeft]

19. I think Trump eventually scares people into Hillay's camp unless they vote 3rd party.

[SecularMotion]

21. Landslide for Clinton

[JRLeft]

27. Rubio gets into the GE, Hillary is in trouble. If we have another economic collapse no Democrat wins

[LettuceSea]

22. I fear Trump/Martinez would be a bad matchup for Hillary/Castro

[Sunlei]

23. Trump would lose it for R-party worse then old Mittens 'luckyholy--number- 47% loss

very much doubt republicans in charge will even let trump win their primary but they did have their Romney failure.

[LettuceSea]

25. It depends on whether he complies with their wishes...

The negotiations going on now between Trump and Old Money GOP would be interesting to hear.

If he's the nominee, it's because he's anything BUT an anti-establishment guy. But they will continue to roll with that image.

[Sunlei]

30. can see it 'live', the repub. candidates afraid to dis trump, crus & rubio kiss/ass for VP spot.

some republican candidates have to carry water for trump just in case republican party can't 'knock trump out of their primary in time. You know, republicans ron paul primary tactic.

Get those baggers-voters to the Rprimary and make them vote for second choice

[Bettie]

24. Clinton

at least I hope so.

[Robbins]

26. Trump

but it won't get that far.

[joshcryer]

28. Oh man, all these people thinking Trump would win.

Trump is the deathnell of the Republican party.

That people would think Trump is a credible candidate is very fucking telling.

[LettuceSea]

29. Lots of uneducated people hurting in the rustbelt....

That scares me. When they get angry and shat upon on a daily basis, they don't just stay at home... :/

Different economy here in Denver. We're kicking ass even w/ low oil.

[Sunlei]

33. more angry because they can't afford a vacation in Colorado

[LettuceSea]

36. Very lucky to live in CO! :)

We'll be solid blue, regardless of who runs. Hickenlooper as VP not necessary.

[Sunlei]

39. I've been looking for a new place Co. is high on my list of states for climate change improvements.

[pinebox]

41. Hickenlooper .............ugh

he's a conservative Dem who was anti legalization here and is pro fracking. No thank you.

[joshcryer]

35. They need 40% of the Latino vote. Minimum.

This is simply impossible for Trump. That's why all the top GOP people secretly want Rubio to win and it's also why Rubio still wins the betting markets even though he's so far behind.

The Republicans will be so done if Trump wins.

[Le Taz Hot]

32. Trump

[pangaia]

34. The billionaires.

[PragmaticLiberal]

37. Hillary.

But honestly, I believe both Sanders and O'Malley would defeat Trump as well.

[randr]

38. Trump is the establishment

Anyone who thinks Trump will cater to the minions he has in a fervor and not his 1% cronies is as blind as the nut cases at his rallies.
I would prefer to see Bernie take on and beat Trump, a good possibility if Hispanics, women, and millennials get out and vote, and I think Hillary has the same chance with the given the same circumstances. The bigger problem is that Democrats work from the top down; concentrating on the Presidential candidate and ignoring the local and state offices that, in reality, support the President.

[pinebox]

40. Trump and it could be huge

This is what is scary. Many RWNJ's identify with Trump, he has the energy and caters to their fears, Hillary has the energy of basically nobody. Trump is seen as an outsider, Hillary is seen as an insider. The right hates Hillary and her nomination would ensure every damn Republican would show up to vote against her. "Payback for Benghazi" would be a huge driving factor and anybody who thinks otherwise is absolutely clueless and has been in coma the last few years.

[Orsino]

42. The Democratic nominee will win. n/t

[bigwillq]

43. Trump

I kind of have a feeling that a Repub will win regardless of who the DEM nominee is. I hope I am wrong, but after 8 years of having a D in the White House I just think voters may vote for an R simply because they are not a D. Voters are weird and strange things can happen.

[Bradical79]

44. Hillary

Barring massive voter fraud and/or a truly damning scandal.

[firebrand80]

45. I wonder if the same folks that trumpet Hillary's "bad" favorability numbers

Have taken a gander at Trump's

[Motown_Johnny]

46. Harry Truman would say Trump (as do I)

http://www.trumanlibrary.org/publicpapers/index.php?pid=1296

^snip^

I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign.




And we all know Hillary loves herself some Truman....

[MineralMan]

47. It would be a landslide victory for Clinton.

That's my gut feeling.

[in_cog_ni_to]

48. Trump in a Landslide.

Millennials are not voting for Clinton. Every far right Repub in this country will go to the polls to vote AGAINST a Clinton. They are LOATHED and DETESTED with a visceral, burning hatred by the Repubs.


Many, many, many Bernie supporters are NOT voting for a FAR RIGHT of Center lying so-called "Democratic" candidate who voted for the IWR, created ISIS, destroyed Syria and Libya and is Currently under FBI INVESTIGATIONS. One who supports GMO, MONSANTO, FRACKING, WALL ST. CORRUPTION, corporate tax loopholes, PRISONS FOR PROFIT, endless wars, TPP, XL PIPELINE and will do ANYTHING to win an election....lie, cheat, steal and hire David Brock.

No doubt about it - TRUMP WINS in a landslide.

Vote Bernie.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

49. We lose.
