>>54704003>>our"our" doesn't indicate that I'm a Republican, just that I'll not be voting for the Form of the Destructor the left chooses.
>Most of us don't give a single shit about the Republicucks, Trump is all that matters.And this is how he loses. I can't stand the establishment Republican party and its wing, but know at least they will not be transformed into a vehicle for a demagogue with zero party loyalties without considerable loss of interest. It'll be Mitt Romney 2012 all over again, in which the defeated wings stays home, only reversed under Trump.
>>54704098>But Hillary doesn't have to be liked. She is the consummate "lesser of two evils" candidate. That is her strategyI know it. Clinton camp wants to operate a 2bil campaign and is going to need every cent of it to stay competitive / drive voter participation into the dirt with negative advertising.
>I am not endorsing that view, btw.I believe there to be an obvious possible counter at hand, with Trump, Carson, Cruz, Rubio, Fiorina, Paul, et al playing a role, creating an image that people outside the Washington party are unifying to fix the Washington party's problems. But it can't end that Trump gets the ticket. It has to be someone who can bridge the wings.
>Trump is the only one with the media savvy to change that perceptionHe's got skills, I grant, but we're not even close yet to the point where primary voters will have their say. People look closer the shorter that time gets, and they're going to have to find more than those tactics and horse race advantages you list (some of which is pure sophistry, if we're being honest).
