Conservative mag: Trump has ‘nowhere to go’

Posted by | August 24, 2016 19:01 | Filed under: Politics


The National Review says Trump has “effectively blown his chances” of winning.

Trump’s presidential campaign slogs on, but he has effectively blown his chances at getting into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. By failing to pivot through his convention, by failing to build a ground team in important states, and by failing to reassure voters uneasy with his primary rhetoric, Trump has killed his campaign. The result: His numbers with college-educated voters and blacks have dropped dramatically, effectively locking him out of states such as Florida, Ohio, and, yes, Pennsylvania…

On the face of it, Pennsylvania is not the be-all, end-all. After all, Trump could still win by collecting a combination of Nevada, Iowa, Wisconsin, and/or New Hampshire. In truth, though, that avenue seems less likely by the day. Hillary Clinton has been relatively weak in Iowa and Nevada, and the high percentage of no-college whites in each gives Trump at least a fighting chance (though he trails in both state averages). But his atrocious numbers in Wisconsin and New Hampshire almost certainly rule out his achieving the quartet. He has, in short, nowhere to go.

      His show is brilliant, along with Sam Bee. I wish both their shows were more often.

      I bought this little book after watching John Oliver’s hilarious description. Written in 1996, the parallels throughout are amazing. e.g., Page 27, abridged: “I liked the way you handled that creep…you refused to give him a straight answer… It hides how stupid you are…It’s more important for you to look as if you know what you’re talking about than it is to know what you’re talking about…”. Priceless….recommend you buy this book or see if your library has it.

    Well Mr. Trump thanks for playing, Who Wants to be President.

    Looks like you have been eliminated from the contest. But please accept these lovely parting gifts including two VIP passes to the opening of the Barack Obama Presidential Library in Chicago.

      And don’t forget the home version of Who Wants to be President. After all, that’s the only way you will ever be president.

        I am playing it right now and already beating Trump’s numbers among minority voters.

    It’s over! They’ve also lost McConnell’s Senate, but may keep Speaker Ryan’s house. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxAJbGGf1xI

      I wish we could control all three branches, but I will be happy with 2.

        We retain the Executive & Judicial. Stay tuned for Legislative.
        Short Trump Inc! Cons don’t realize they lost any SCOTUS chances.
