Republicans Are Going To Flip Out Over Nate Silver’s Latest Polling Figures

[Snarkoleptic]

Any way he looks at the figure, Nate Silver shows Hillary Clinton running away with the election.

The Polls-only forecast shows Clinton winning 66.1% to 33.9%; the Polls-plus shows little change with Clinton taking 65.4% to 34.6%.

AND the Now-cast shows Clinton annihilating Trump by a margin of 83.5% to 16.5%.

Silver’s current figures also show Clinton winning the popular vote by a margin of 48.1% to 42.6% with Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson receiving approximately 7.9%. No figures were displayed for Green Party candidate Jill Stein.

1. Trump "is not much longer for this race"

He will be gone by September 1st. Replaced with a Paul Ryan or Kasich.

6. Too late

It would be too late and cause even more damage IMO

9. Trump would have to withdraw voluntarily. That will not happen.

10. The RNC can decide to replace him.

They just won't unless the Tea Party sees Trump as a "loser".

11. I don't see how. He is the nominee. Trump would tie them up in court and SCOTUS would rule against

RNC.

3. What can we do to help make HRC 99%?

The hard work of volunteering and GOTV day in and day out. Only 99 days remaining.

5. That reminds me, I need to buy some budweiser and coors stock...

Bad news hits the republicans pretty hard.

7. Its like Goldwater all over again... its gonna be YUGE!

Like Trump, Goldwater's political positions made him deeply unpopular in his own party. Johnson routed Goldwater in
in a landslide over the hard-right extremists that dominated the GOP and attracted fringe groups like white segregationists who were pissed by the new civil rights movement. Johnson ran on a platform of anti-poverty programs, and he won 44 of the 50 states to take the Presidency.

8. No they are probably doing a small dance each point he drops

Dipshit donnie is very vengeful. If they did not come out and do stump speeches for him. Or say he is the greatest person ever to live they will be condemned. You can see that in those who endorse, but do not praise every word he says. They want the supreme court judges. But have no assurance he would actually pick some one they would like. I would not doubt if dipshit would nominate his sons.
