(561 posts)of opinion no matter who gets nominated. Can't see any Dem turning down Hillary for a Scott Walker type. That's the problem the GOP is faced with their extreme candidates getting nominated.
Right now Democratic operatives are following "The Extremes" and recording the tunes they are singing to the crowds that show up at their rallies. Tunes that may sound crazy to normal people, but are normal to the crazy people that show up GOP rallies.
If any of them get nominated we can be sure that those idiotic statements they made during the primary battles will show up when they are campaigning and embarrass them right out of the election.
Remember 47%?
All that crazy talk might get the primary win, but when the true crazy past statements come out, they're sunk. That's the GOP dilemma.
Ask Sharon Angle how she defeated herself by getting nominated, and how Harry Reid had every primary campaign speech she made recorded and the crazy parts amplified in the general election.
So far the GOP has never let an "Extreme" filter up to the top, just let them vent and venture into obscurity afterwards.
