There is a lot of anti-establishment sentiment out there in both parties:
About 20 percent of likely Democratic voters say they would buck the party and vote for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in a general election, according to a new poll.
The willingness of some Democrats to change sides could be a major problem for Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton this fall.
The new figures were released by Mercury Analytics, a research company with clients that include MSNBC and Fox News, as the result of an online poll and dial-test of Trump’s first campaign ad.
Reagan Adviser Art Laffer thinks it means there will be a landslide:
Laffer not only predicted a victory for the GOP, but he would be “surprised” if they did not take as many as 47 of the 50 states.
“I would be surprised if the Republicans don’t take 45, 46, 47 states out of the 50,” he said. “I mean, I think we’re going to landslide this election.”
“I think Donald Trump is phenomenal, I think Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has done a great job, I even like Jeb Bush. I think Jeb Bush is great, he did a wonderful job in Florida. Chris Christie — phenomenal,” Laffer added.
He later said Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s “day is over.”
That sounds great, but remember the democrats have been assembling a machine behind the scenes for the last few cycles. They now have an immense ground team linked up to a computer database of mindless welfarite meat-robots who can be picked up, driven to the polls, and told who to vote for en masse. It may contribute as much as a three to five percent vote swing toward the democrat over an honest election in each state.
Behind that is the fraud machine, which has as many as twenty to thirty “people” living in individual abandoned houses all over, throughout each state. The absentee ballots are delivered by mail, they are picked up by whomever on a route of such houses, and then the fraud machine takes all those ballots and turns out another percent or two swing.
Romney was certain he had won based on likely voters, and yet he wasn’t close after that machine churned its roster of non-voter voters and fraud opportunities. The end result is probably close to what a comment on Free Republic said:
The days of a 40+ state landslide are over. Democrats will never stray to vote for a Republican and Republicans will not stray to vote for a Democrat.
Hillary has 263 EV’s in the bag
The Republican candidate has 206 EV’s in the bag.
4 state are all that matter. CO, FL, VA and OH.
Hillary just needs one to be elected. The Republican candidate will need all 4.
There are two huge advantages of a Trump nomination. One, we would see just how bad the fraud and manipulation is affecting results. I am curious how the most capable self-promoter, with every advantage behind him, would do against that leftist-vote-manipulating machine. If Trump were to win by a hair, we know exactly how bad the problem is.
Two, I do not think President Cruz will launch the war on voter fraud we need to see launched, because the Republican party will never fight that battle. People need to go to prison, and that is not the cuckservative’s way.
President Trump might wage that war, if he finds out about the extent of the problem, and sees how it is working against him. I am quite sure if he laid out the extent of the problem publicly now, and promised to address it (and highlighted how career Republicans cannot and have not), he would swing a lot of support his way.
That is a fight that is long overdue, and like many fights today it is one which only Trump can offer a chance of fighting, because only he views the party itself as being as much of an enemy as the opposition.
