Hillary/Bernie will be 2016's Mitt Romney. And that's good.

“He is going to implode himself,” said Frank VanderSloot, the chief executive of an Idaho nutritional-supplement company who is backing Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.). He said he recently turned down a funding request from a group seeking to run anti-Trump ads. “It’s just going to take a little time for people to take a step back and look at his track record, see who he is and how he’s changed his positions and how unprepared he is to be president of the United States,” VanderSloot said.

That view is shared by Andrew Sabin, a longtime New York donor supporting Bush. “I’m not worried,” Sabin said. “The voters are not going to think out their candidate until a week or two before they go into the voting booth.”




-------------------------------------------

Trump will implode. After the primaries, not before them:




Go back to the 2012 republican primary. It was a clown-show.
Cain, Bachmann, Santorum... Controversial, outrageous characters galore!
The republican voters were hyped!
They looooved these guys.
But in the end...
Who did they vote for in the primary?
They voted for the uncharismatic and stiff business-suit.
They didn't even like this guy!
But he was a saner choice than those weirdos.





The 2016 republican primary is different: It doesn't have the flavor-of-the-week dynamics of the 2012 version. Trump is clearly in the lead. Trump will win this primary.
And then the republican voters and the independent voters and the democratic voters will have to make a choice.
Who to vote for?
For the outrageous guy with the weird statements and the big show and fireworks and controversies and ratings?
Or would it be better to make a compromise and vote for someone who's less crazy?
Okay, he/she is not what you as a republican voter have hoped for.
You don't even like him/her.
But at least he/she is a saner choice than that weirdo.




It doesn't matter how hyped-up your supporters are. Every supporter still only means 1 vote.
He who has the most supporters wins. Not he who has the most cranked-up supporters.

Trump will lose. There will be soul-searching in the GOP.
"How could we possibly have lost to a woman/leftie? Our politics are infallible. That means, the problem was that we didn't communicate them clear enough to the voters! Trump wasn't a real conservative! He never was! This loss means nothing! What we need next time is a REAL conservative!"

1. Not the most supporters. He or she who gets the most votes wins. And geting the most votes

depends on a lot of things. One is organization, which I think will go to Hillary because of the DNC and because the Clintons have been at this all their lives. Another is indeed enthusiasm. People don't go to the polls, esp. the primary polls, unless they are cranked up about something or other.
