Well, I don't like his verbage or attitude, but in a more serene way, I also agree the Republicans are going to take the Presidency, pick up more seats in the House, but possibly lose 1 or 2 in the senate.
But, if the democrats are smart, they will do everything they can to Jebster to win the republican nomination, because besides the far outliers running, he is the one easiest to beat; and in fact would probably lose.
Why? 1. Because the far right WILL NOT support him at all. The mid right over 1/2 will say no way. 3. He is the only candidate (just like Romney with healthcare) who can't use the Clinton dynasty as a tool. 4. His stance on illegal immigration is against over 60% of the population, and fully 70% of those are conservatives. 5. His stance on common core is against more than 56% of the population, and the number 1 priority of 99% of conservatives are their kids and grandkids. 6. Virtually all conservatives are politically educated and know we must reverse course. Jebster is an establishment candidate, and after seeing the performance of the establishment after the mid terms, we are well aware that they have absolutely no intention of dismantling Obamas disasters, but rather just want control of the apparatus. 7. Most republicans are painfully aware also, that which party is running Washington is not the problem, Washington is the problem; and Jebster has put forth no ideas about returning any power to the states, vis-a-vie, common core. He is just a republican Obama who wishes to impose his (Mitch Mconnells, John Boehners) will upon the country. (just as the democrips? did with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid) 8. Real conservatives/libertarians want a return to a more constitutional base of doing things, Jebster does not fit that bill. 9.His father was a weak noodle as far as conservative policy, his brother was too; and while it isn't fair to claim he is his brother or his father, guilt by association is a real factor here, just as the other poster claims that the republicans will batter Hillary with Bill.......while the democrats will USE the association with Bill to make her look stronger. In other words, he can NOT get out of his father and brothers shadows of failure, or what is perceived to be their failures.
In closing, let me say that I honestly believe that the best candidate for republicans to run against is Hillary. I also believe she will not win the nomination of the democrats if anyone with any cache decides to run against her. Democrats are well aware that they can get the rabid libs to vote for anyone with a D in front of their name, but they can't get independent voters to do it. That is their big problem, and as of now, that problem has not gone away.
For republicans, their problem is not the independent voter if the nominee is Hillary, their problem is their own voters. The republican nominee does not/should not/will not win one democratic voter, nor should they try, because that is the formula for fail. The independent voter will come here this time because of the economy, foreign policy, Hillary, and the desire for the constitution, because if they do not want that, they are a democrat, lol. No, the republican nominee has to get his own partys votes and energize them. If they are seen as just a place holder who will try and stop the left but keep the status quo, the Democrat will win.
In my humble opinion, Walker, Cruz, or Rubio will sweep the floor nicely with the democrats. Paul would make it a toss up. Carson is the wild card. If Hilly is the democratic nominee, whomever wins on the republican side should pick a female running candidate as the attack dog unless far ahead in the polls.
Remember, the real truth of 2016 isn't if the democrats show up to vote, but if the republicans do. Every democrat can show up to vote for Hilly, and if the whole republican side shows up with 60% of the independents voting with them, the democrats will lose in a landslide. As of this moment, that appears to be a very real possibility from which we can draw our assumptions.
