Trouble for Democrats
 

67% increase in GOP voters in the primaries.

23% decrease in Democrat voter participation.

Dems aren't too excited about Hillary and Bernie.

Bodes well for a GOP White House.

Americans have Obama fatigue and liberal policies run amok. Eight years haven't exactly created the hope and change. People have less hope and things have changed---for the worse. Obama has done more to hurt the Democrat party than anyone in modern political history.

LoL. Have you heard of Limbaugh's Operation Chaos? I highly doubt these Democrats who voted Trump in the primaries will vote Trump again in November. This is being done in open primaries to make sure the weakest candidate, Trump, is the nominee.

His campaign and poll numbers are like movie sets from the old days...all a false front with nothing behind it.

It's all just a cycle that keeps repeating. A single mass of voters get fed up with democrat policies and a republican gets elected and then once enough people get fed up with his policies then a democrat is elected.

Clinton to gwb to Obama to whoever wins the republican nomination

Re: Trouble for Democrats
 

I agree

Re: Trouble for Democrats
 

I agree. This is a genuine party switch and not a Rush style "operation chaos". Democrats are being very vocal about their switch to Trump. and it is indeed a switch to Trump more than a switch to the GOP.

You don't know it's a genuine party switch. You can't know this, not until the General Election.

Although good news for Hillary - Donald Trump has -77 in favorability with Hispanics. Hillary Clinton is +59. A 136% advantage.

Doesn't matter. The Donald says they all love him and he's going to win the hispanic vote.

Re: Trouble for Democrats
 

Even Democrat analysts are worried. The switchers are being very vocal. Leftists can't keep their feelings hid and a reverse operation chaos would be easy to spot.

We'll find out in October. If Trump is the nominee, it better be real or GOP will get trounced.

I still believe they're setting the Donald up for a post-GOP convention surprise. The media will turn quickly if Trump wins the nomination. All his shady business dealings, all his off the record conversations, all the stuff they've shied away from so far will come out and Trump will drop like a rock and lose as badly or worse than Romney lost in 2012.

Re: Trouble for Democrats
 

There will be an October suprise waiting for whoever the GOP candidate is, even Cruz. Thus far, Trump has been the only one to withstand media attacks and probably is the only GOP candidate that can survive an October surprise.

Trump has withstood himself thus far. I haven't seen much of the media attacking Trump independent of Trump saying something incredibly controversial and the media responding.

It may be a bit different when the media begins to actually attack him.

First thing the media could do is chip away at the personna Trump has crafted about himself: that he's self-funded; that people come to him for money, not the other way around. Trump has built himself up as someone who doesn't ask or need other's money.

But he needed Soros' $160 million and $640 million more from Deutsche Bank to build his tower in Chicago. Then he was sued for bid rigging on the deal.

Trump is holding on to his tax info for a reason. Typically candidates have released the info by now. But Trump is still holding out. Why?

Shouldn't be too hard for the media to dig into his deals and finances.

Re: Trouble for Democrats
 

What media have you been watching/listening to? They have been declaring his demise every week "this time he's gone too far"...they haven't been fawning over him, rather been dismissive or mocking of him. Now they have egg on their face. He can withstand anything they send his way. And I'm not a Trump sycophant. I voted for Cruz.

The media has largely been RESPONDING to Trump's own comments. They haven't proactively attacked Trump. Everything the media has done has been in response to something Trump said or did. They haven't dug up or released anything new.

Re: Trouble for Democrats
 

And what does THAT tell you?

They're waiting for him to win the nomination.

Also curious is Trump's silence about George Soros spending millions to incite protests at Trump events. I guess if you borrow $160 million from Soros you give him a pass.

Re: Trouble for Democrats
 

Trump has fewer demons than Hillary. Thing is most of their worst demons are already known and they still get the support they do. The media attacking either will do nothing.

Well, he's got my vote then!

:nah

Re: Trouble for Democrats
 

They aren't "waiting", they are part of the "process".

Re: Trouble for Democrats
 

I have heard Trump criticize Soros.
