Nope. Trump’s gonna get crushed in California.
Crushed.
Halperin’s next book, Bought and Paid For-a Pundits Last Fall!
Halperin really is dumber than a box of rocks. Have you ever seen him interview someone? Trump will win his primary in California with all 10 republicans, but he will never win in California. In fact, Trump is going to get his ass handed to him b HRC,
““The math here is not as cut and dry…””
Things Republicans (and their fluffers) tell themselves to feel better.
Trump has that shit-eating grin on his face because Halperin is giving him a reach-around. That’s what fluffers are there for.
Paying attention to Halperin’s musing on politics is akin to giving serious credence to Megan McCain’s input on nuclear arms reduction strategies.
Wait…I am confused. Didn’t Halperin assure us that Gore was running and was a shoo in to win the nomination? So doesn’t he mean that Gore is going to have to play defense in California?
I do think there is a pretty decent chance though, that we will see new battleground states this fall. I think VA, FL, and OH are going to be polling so strongly blue, and places like GA and AZ are going to be polling purple…that they become the 2016 battleground states.
Halperin will of course miss that,as he is busy writing Game Change 3:The Rise of Gore and Defense of California.
what? No. Fuck no. Put down the crack pipe, Halperin. Or is that Trump’s cock in your mouth?
Wow…I always thought Halperin was a toad…that is really crappy analysis from Mort
He’s getting more in line with the Bill Kristol method of being wrong about everything all the time.
Halperin must be basing his conjecture on the fact that so many Democrats despise Hillary the Establishment pawn. Will these folks support Trump just as a form of protest? Some will, probably very few. Halperin thinks millions of Hillary haters will cross over. We’re all welcome to our own opinion. Halperin has the stage. We don’t.
This is more beltway insiders talking to other beltway insiders, gotta make news bullshit. The SF Chronicle had a story a few weeks ago describing how California repubs were running away from trumpf without hesitation. Two former Secretaries of State live in the Bay Area, Schultz and Rice, and they have “No comment.” R party long time fundraisers and party stalwarts were planning on voting for Clinton, not raising funds for trumpf and all in all in the City at least he will find no support. Inland California with smaller rural cities is a different story (I’ve tried sending the story but there’s a paywall).
Many of them are nauseated by Trump’s divisive comments on immigrants, Muslims and women, They use such words as “miserable,” “sickened,” “ashamed.” And most alarming for Republicans candidates everywhere, they’re not opening their checkbooks.
By this point in the election season, “I would have been knee deep in one of the campaigns,” said Jillian Manus, who campaigned for GOP gubernatorial candidates Meg Whitman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. But “I haven’t given one cent to a candidate. Actually that’s not true. I gave to Kamala Harris,” a Democrat running for U.S. Senate.
Closed checkbooks are particularly painful as the liberal Bay Area is also one of the nation’s top fundraising locations for conservatives
@omahhum Hillary the, what was that, the “despised pawn”?, received 12 million plus primary votes and trumpf received 10 million plus. You wish you could be so despised.
You are absolutely correct. I will be glad when this is over. I am sick to death of this whole thing. Get ready for the nastiest campaign in history at least from Trump’s side which will only damage him even more
I wish I could retreat to my Dux bed until November 9.
… which is good news for john mccain mark halperin!
Uhh, this is a man who coined the phrase “this is great news for John McCain” because he was so often so incredibly wrong about 2008.
Yeah, the Berniacs have this delusion that there’s a groundswell of Hillary Hate throughout the country and it’s just itching to make itself known. While I’ll certainly grant you that it’s there, so far, the numbers don’t indicate it’s overwhelming.
And when faced against Rump, ---- game over, man.
From the “if you repeat a lie often enough people may start to believe it” files…Mark Halperin is a paid shill for the Trump campaign and a shoddy journalist of the first order. Bloomburg should be ashamed to have such a lowbrow on their payroll.
Wow, what is this, Nineties/Oughties Bigfeet Access Journos Embarass Themselves Week? First Diamond Jim Vandehei cacks himself in public and now Halperin?
