I won't laugh. You're absolutely correct, but that sounds a lot like the argument for the McCain nomination in 2008? In fact Trump's argument that he can work with both sides of the aisle sounds really familiar too.
To be fair McCain had a tougher road to go down. He was facing the first black candidate and after 8 years of Bush and during a recession, but Trump could be facing the first woman candidate and with gas prices this low I expect the economy will feel red hot by Nov.
================================
The worse the economy gets, the better it will be for ANYONE running on the GOP ticket.
'McCain' is one of the worst cuss words I know. I try not to say it in good company.
This is completely different. McCain would be lucky to get 20% of the Republican vote if he ran again. Trump (or whoever gets it) is likely to get in the high 90% of available Republican votes. But the Republican party is dwindling much faster than most people know, and this election is going to 'make or break' the Republican Party without any doubt whatsoever.
All these 'cocky' Republicans that think Republicans have enough votes to win this next election are in for another 'Romney-Obama' surprise.
