ORIGINAL: bounty44 to the main topic: early on I belonged to the anyone but Hillary camp, now im not so sure who would be worse for the country, her, or trump, so im not sure in what light to take the following news: "Ripple Effect: Trump Pushes 11 States Toward The Democrats" quote:
Donald Trump will start his 2016 battle against Hillary Clinton by trailing her by double-digits in the polls and a projected Electoral College wipeout thus far. Now that he’s the presumptive nominee, the Cook Political Report had moved 11 states towards the Democrats (the Hill): “This has been an exceedingly unpredictable year,” the analyst said. “Although we remain convinced that Hillary Clinton is very vulnerable and would probably lose to most other Republicans, Donald Trump's historic unpopularity with wide swaths of the electorate — women, millennials, independents and Latinos — make him the initial November underdog.” Colorado, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin were all shifted from toss-up states to leaning Democratic. The “solid Republican” states Missouri and Indiana were downgraded to “likely Republican.” New Mexico is now solidly Democratic, and North Carolina is a toss-up after leaning Republican. http://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2016/05/07/ripple-effect-trumps-pushes-11-states-to-the-democrats-n2159255 I wanted Cruz but I look at it this way. Obama is a liberal on steroids. Hillary is Obama all over again. Trump is a wild card and at this point is all we have. If he stays true to his word, as a conservative I don't see too much of a problem with him. I think he's having a wet dream if he thinks he can bring jobs back from around the world by tacking on tariffs to imports. He might be a bit moire hawkish than what I'm comfortable with. I'm not sure exactly what he has in mind to deal with the Obama care fiasco. But he couldn't possibly be any worse than Obama or Hillary. It's also too bad Gary Johnson didn't run in the Republican primary. There are better choices than Trump but after the gang of 8 thing, I would prefer Trump over Rubio. I like Trump a whole lot more than Kasich. Kasich, after promising not to vote in favor of any new federal gun control, voted for Clinton's stupid assault weapon bill. That was a promise well within his control that he could have kept. I would prefer Trump over McCain or Romney. We could do a whole lot worse........unless of course he loses.
