Michelangelo Signorile: Whoever we nominate will beat Trump

He doesn't take a deep breath before he says it.

His voice doesn't crack in the middle of that sentence.

He sounds utterly confident. To listen to him say this, it is a fact not in dispute.

Signorile is a very bright guy, but is he being overly optimistic? Is he someone who has a good record of predicting what's happened under this administration in particular, or in politics in general?

Is it just a talk show host's opinion? Why is he so confident about this?

I have doubts, but when I hear him say it, my doubts fade away for a couple of hours or so.

How seriously do you take this?

primary today, I would vote for:

seems like I'm running constantly into people who think rump is a joke. Only 1 felt like he was (rump was) okay, but he's racist and he's a money grubber (e.g., rump did the world and the booming economy with his tax cuts etc. (which I corrected him on)). Too many people that I'm talking to all think rump is a joke.

I can't believe how many Trump supporters I run into. He isn't going to be easy to beat.

we might have to defend CO, VA, and MN also due to large rural white population in those states
