No way are Dems going to be siphoned off. We are not going to play that game.

Dems don’t need Donald. Match Hillary against any one of the clowns and she wins handily.

just as soon as he gets his first series ring.

I don’t think the Democrats actually need Trump to win, although it’s nice watching him suck all the air out of their pre-debate campaigns. None of the candidates - not Jebya!, not Walker, not Kasich or Rubio or any other of the clowns - will get more votes than Romney. Hunting for swing voters is pointless - they will break exactly the same way they did in previous elections. Meanwhile, the Democratic base is growing in numbers.

Well, I think that’s the only way to get him the hell out of the race: offer him something that will play into his narcissism but off the national stage. Otherwise, his ego just knows no bounds.

Groveling is the only way to co-opt him. Watch Ted Cruz.

Never underestimate the Democrat’s ability to shoot themselves in the foot.

I have an alternate theory as to how the Democrats keep the White House.

A majority of Americans notice that the GOP is composed of idiots, lunatics and outright dangerous individuals.

Good one, now please delete this article before a Democratic candidate or strategist reads it.

At least a third of our citizens would fail the citizenship test we require of legal immigrants. So Democrats can never count on Republicans imploding of their own stupidity because we’re the only ones who consistently see it that way. We have to aggressively fight for every vote, every election, by offering people easily understandable, positive, affirmative ideas worth voting for.

Would be a dream come true, but Trump will be out before December.

The gang-pile on him in 15 days, during the first debate, will be epic and the war on Trump and the massive dump on Trump on his clear unsuitability to be POTUS will drive him into the low single digits again (like he was before he announced) and some new “Hillary-slayer” will be championed… until Iowa, and the results there may solidify that “Hillary-slayer” or start the rotating title of said slayer like it did in 2012.

Trump will not go third or new party (ala Perot).

He barely made more money than if he simply parked what he inherited, in CDs.

She will still have to work for it. Her support in key swing states is not a lock and she is currently losing in several of them in some test match-ups. While this far out, that doesn’t mean too much, but anyone who thinks this will be a cakewalk is fooling themselves.

Might well be true, I do not follow it that closely.

Just a heads up … making money usually doesn’t include filing for bankruptcy, especially when ones “nest egg” was a gift from daddy.
