Jamo, wrong. The GOP cannot win a race with the current type of candidates they want. Sorry, it ain't happening.
Still waiting on that list of who'd do better given these circumstances
Well . . . while understanding that there are many suburban women out there who are only capable of responding to emotional rhetoric, and I assume those are the type of suburban women you are talking about . . .otherwise, for those of them with any sense and logical response capacity he provided clear presentation of how their lives will only worsen under that squak. One example of logical appeal: I will tax you less, she will tax you more . . . does that not resonate with you people?
What do people not understand by the fix is in? It's hysterical. Now the "I told ya so's" are coming out of the woods when none of them. including shit ass Kasich would've won.
it is delusional to think Jesus Christ could've won an election against Hillary with the cards as stacked as they are.
But hey, "rubble rubble Kasich, rubble rubble, Cruz" People can try to sell that shit, but this sewer isn't buying it.
Why list the numerous candidates that were always polling better than Hillary if you're just going to Jedi hand-wave the data away?
the Democratic Senate nooses are already set for 2018 (2014 PVI in parentheses)
WV (+13 for R) Democrat Joe Manchin defending
ND (+10 for R) Democrat Heidi Heitkamp defending
MT (+7 for R) Democrat Jon Tester defending
IN (+5 for R) Democrat Joe Donnelly defending
MO (+5 for R) Democrat Claire McCaskill defending
FL (+2 for R) Democrat Bill Nelson defending
OH (+1 for R) Democrat Sherrod Brown defending
VA (even) Tim Kaine's seat
PA (+1 for D) Democrat Bob Casey defending
WI (+2 for D) Democrat Tammy Baldwin defending
The only remotely vulnerable Republican seat is Dean Heller's in NV
But yeah, let's just burn the house down for no good reason in 2016 and hemorrhage a couple Senate seats. Sounds fun.

Exactly.
Translation: there were none. It just sounds intellectually superior
You are right as long as they only want candidates that appeal to a single demographic.
The ONLY difference is the limp wristed rnc wouldn't have secretly worked against an establishment candidate. Nor would they pull everything at the last second. That's the difference
Translation: until they learn to pander with handouts.
What single demographic are you trying to say?
because there is one party who has deluded other demographics by manipulating them to vote against their own interests
Betting odds for Hillary increased over the last 24hours...+3.2% to an 81%likelihood of her winning.
When any millennial tries to be president years from now...
"You told Oprah, a sweet old African American lady, to 'die in a fire'".
"You repeatedly say you love eating ass"
"You proposed using nukes to blow up the entire Middle East"

Why do you place so much blame with the RNC and so little with the Trump campaign? Turnout matters way more than endorsements and the former is almost entirely the job of the candidate. And Trump has been grossly negligent on that point.
If "intellectually superior" means "based on facts instead of mumbo jumbo", then sure.
And I'm not going to waste my time regurgitating the mountain of data that supports my point. (1) Because you already know it exists, and (2) it won't do a damned thing to change your a priori stance that Trump is inherently more likely to win.
I'll answer that for him. When was the last time you saw a RNC or DNC candidate win and not get their party's full support? Is Trump's campaign gotta fix that too?
Bubba's behavior pushing an employee to the brink of suicide. There's a reason these people are one of the most powerful families on the planet, & it's not b/c of their good deeds.
Everything about them, every single part of their life is mired in corruption, scandal & destruction of anyone who stands in the way.

The only races where the GOP will be favored is Joe Donnelly's seat from Indiana and maybe Heitcamp's. The rest of those are multi-term senators or are from states that lean democrat. The GOP would be very lucky to win half of those races.

Yep. Took forever to even give their nominee even lukewarm support. Then pulled out the rug less than a month out, despite leading in some polls, over a comment that shocked no one other than feminists and/or faux outrage.
So, whatever nominee the never trumpers had in mind, would've had even less chance if that comment sunk trump, whom we all knew probably says things like this fairly regularly.
I had always suspected that. Neither the RNC or the DNC want a candidate it can't control.
Another Lincoln inspired public/private stance. Hillary is a skeptic of fracking in public, but said in a private speech that she promotes fracking all around the world.
She went to say in private that the enviromentists protesting weren't true to the cause, couldn't care less about fracking & were nothing more than paid Russian shills. This woman has been full on red scare mode for awhile.
Seems this stance is already starting to hurt her among environmentalists.
“Apparently, @HillaryClinton will help clean up world w/ renewable energy—right after she helps poison it w/ fracking,” Mediaite columnist and The Young Turks political reporter Jordan Chariton said.

LA Times poll showing Donald with a 45.8% to 42.7% lead and growing after the debate last night.
In public Democrats swear up & down that voter fraud doesn't happen, & it's all a right wing conspiracy. In private...
well, golly, if Trump has lost Roger Waters, then he's lost America.....

Don't hold your breath.
All is proceeding as I have foreseen.....Said months ago that Trump could not win, and when he in fact did not win, his supporters would not blame him, but would instead blame the RNC and other Republicans.

Suit yourself, when I need opinions about American politics, I always prefer European music star, Bono.
since we're on the topic of silent/hidden voting blocs:
I've come to rely on Leonardo DiCaprio. He's a high school drop out who pretends for a living - but so many people seem to think he knows science stuff, I listen to him now...
If they were smart they would drop 10-20 a day all the way to the election instead of 2500 at a time.
2500 is too many to sift thru at once. Do our work for us and give us the meat daily!
