    I have a $100 bet on Hillary winning. I made the bet because there is no one else running with the same lack of ethics and morals, who will do or can do the incredibly evil and likely illegal things she will do to be elected. Corruption, abuse of power, hatred of the country are all traits Hillary exhibits that make me think she will win.

    After that, God help us, for she will have no mercy as she wreaks her vengeance on the country that saw her shamed as the cuckolded spouse of Bill.

    I think she’ll lose. Aside from a small fringe, people are voting for the HIlldawg because “she’s the Democrat”… not because they believe in her or like her. The Bernieistas are gonna be real hard to convince back into the fold too, what with this superdelegate shuffle… these are mostly people with a sense of entitlement anyway, and to lose the nomination based not on vote counts but on a prepledged and unaccountable “superdelegates” vote they may not even understand? Let’s just say I can’t see them showing up like it was 2008.

    Sidebar: Considering how badly Obama and the DNC screwed her out of the nomination in ’08, I wouldn’t bet on the Hillary! machine being all that competent when it comes to campaigning.

    Note that all this assumes that either Cruz or Trump is the Republican nominee (i.e. no last-minute shenanigans to try to just ditch the results of the primaries and get some Establishment-friendly loser as the nominee), and that the McConnell axis in the Senate doesn’t break down and give Obama his Supremes nomination. IOW, my prediction only holds true if the GOP doesn’t go out of its way to alienate its own voters. What are the chances of that, right?

    DaveP: Do note that Trump is being portrayed as everything bad and evil. (How much that potrayal is an exaggeration is an exercise left to the reader).

    Among other things that would bring up the enthusism gap.

    Make Trump into Emmanuel Goldstein and people won’t be voting for Hillary, they’ll be voting against a great evil.

    Given Trump’s rehtorical “style” and his own negatives, it’s not like that will be a great challenge.

  5. DaveP. Says:

    Jack, every single Republican since Eisenhower has been portrayed exactly the same way. And Trump doesn’t seem to have any problem filling arenas, which is one reason I think all that “unfavorable” talk is specious.
    Of course, a certain number of people will vote Hillary or some random write-in candidate… and either Trump will still win, in which case they will whine like unto babies devoid of their binkies; or Trump will lose, in which case they will sit around and smile happily as Hillary acts like Hillary was always gonna, because they helped beat that ol’, debbil Trump.

  6. Ron W Says:

    The Washington Post wants the Republican establishment to “do something about Trump”. Just trying to help them field a better candidate against Hillary Clinton, I suppose?

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
