[DCBob]

PROJECTION SHOWS CLINTON TROUNCING TRUMP AND CRUZ - Morning Consult: “If the presidential election was held today, businessman Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz would lose to Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, according to an extensive Morning Consult analysis of 44,000 poll respondents. Ohio Gov. John Kasich is the only candidate who could beat Clinton in November. Both Trump and Cruz would lose to Clinton by considerable margins in a head-to-head race, winning just 210 and 206 electoral college votes..

Looks like we can put to rest the argument that Hillary cant win in November.

1. Light blue on Pennsylvania is surprising

Given dark blue for Ohio.

I think a Cruz/Kasich ticket would win Ohio. Could it get a halo effect for Michigan and Pennsylvania?

Florida is always a crap shoot. If Secretary Clinton is the nominee then she better park her V.P. candidate (Castro?) in the state and ensure that she wins it.

2. Obama only beat Romney by 5 points in PA in 2012.

PA is a state to watch. If we win there we win easily. If the Republicans put it in play then it could get interesting.

Kasich could change things if he is the nominee or VP.

3. neither candidate reaches a 50 percent majority in 37 states

and the candidates are within 2 percentage points of each other in seven states

5. He wont be the nominee unless the GOP pulls some serious shit in Cleveland.

If they do that then many Trump and Cruz people will stay home. Hillary still wins.

7. Has anyone actually argued

That Hills "can't win"? I though she'd beat Trump because he's more disliked than she is and that Cruz might be closer.

8. I have seen hundreds of posts on this site claiming that she can't win... emphatically.

Surprised you have not seen them.
