on which candidate agrees most with you a few days ago. The answer was Sanders with about 75%, but you could see where the other candidates on both sides were on the spectrum. On positions, Trump and Kasich were much more centrist than Rubio and Cruz.

They'll get him on the outrageous statements and lack of experience, not by painting him as extreme right wing.

about winning North Carolina in the GE, "a state that Trump will have a hard time holding..."

That right there is poppycock.

I did phone banking and that was a big take-away. There are other indicators too. Trump has Yuge support in NC. UN fortunately. But because of the high level of discontent with the status quo I think Sanders has the best chance to beat Trump. Hillary doesn't.

The Clinton campaign should NOT count on NC.

views.....minorities won't vote for him, Hispanics won't vote for him, he will lose the women vote by a HUGE RECORD margin....he will echo all the weaknesses of conservatives who sought to "change their message" after the last 2 disastrous presidential elections...they changed it alright...for the worse


once hillary starts the systematic dissection of trumps famous "business sense"....he will be done for...trump has SO MANY business failures and shortcomings, this election may be be a huge landslide for the democratic party in 50yrs...


the tactics and strategies will be clear and simple going up against trump

He'll be to her left on several issues :

Trade: (anti nafta, TPP)

Foreign Policy: less interventionist (anti Iraq, anti toppling dictators)

Money in politics: can use the argument Hillary is bought and compromised while he owes nothing to know one.

This will be a tough, tough race.

I read that Trump puts Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York in play. That's a lot of EVs.
