An outcome I believe is fairly unlikely. <br /><br />If Trumpelstiltskin isn't the winnah he always brags about being we'll surely hear a symphony of <br />whining and outlandish allegations.<br /><br />You're right, the only thing that might stop it is a landslide for HRC. An unlikely occurance given her lack of popularity.

Given that we know Trump always sees himself as being treated "unfairly" he will put the system through hell with his whining about the rigged system and claims of dead people voting and other alleged fraudulent practices by the democrats.<br /><br />I'm sure Trump has is strategy well planed out in the event of the above scenario.

I will guess Arizona, Alabama and Nevada. Maybe Oregon and Utah. Hopefully Tennessee will be too close too call. The Carolinas should both go for Hillary despite recent efforts to suppress the vote. Texas could go either way, but it will effect their prestige as a serious business destination if they go for Trump. Obviously all of the blue states will fall to Hillary; Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, Hawaii, Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Minnesota. California, New York and New Jersey. Virginia and West Virginia.<br /><br />Perhaps the temporally challenged voters of Kentucky will favor Trump. Louisiana and Mississippi should fall into the losing count. Who could guess Missouri and Kansas? Oklahoma will surely fall into the wrong column. Arkansas could be a toss-up. Iowa.... Who really cares? Alaska? It might depend upon Trump's actions towards their beloved governor. Wyoming? Montana? Why not Hillary? Colorado? Probably Hillary. New Mexico? Definitely Hillary. Idaho? Why on earth would they vote for a dick like Trump? The Dakotas? Not very important. Nebraska? Maybe they can distinguish themselves as a state by voting for Hillary. Illinois? Hillary! Michigan? Hillary!

Both have been divorced and booth have cheated on their wives. Yup, the GOP Evangelicals dream ticket. (sarcasm now off)<br /><br />It will be either Gingrich or Pence I think. Trump would be better served with Pence IMO. I think it balances a ticket with a bad presidential candidate better.

The point is, as I understand it, is that there are perhaps more effective ways to handle those who portray her negatively, almost as a knee-jerk reaction on their point.<br /><br />I ran the post because I believe what the author had to say is credible and valid. <br /><br />50 state sweep Ema? That is not going to happen. While you wish it to I think we both know it is just wishful thinking.<br /><br />If Trump picks Pence as his VP it may boost his standing. Certainly if the GOP convention is trouble free and they come out of it unified as a party Trump may be a formidable opponent (shudder).Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-47349555902099347422016-07-14T11:50:28.473-04:002016-07-14T11:50:28.473-04:00I think she's better off just continuing to ig...I think she's better off just continuing to ignore the silly scandals and scoffing at her enemies.

The 'game' is to criminalize political differences. The right-wing hate-machines have been using a scorch-earth attack approach. Mrs Clinton has been the target of the merchants of hate for as long as she has because she has been around as long as she has.<br /><br />The issues of technology being used to try to paint Mrs Clinton as different from other previous Secretaries Of State is a game of expedient political point scoring. The available electronic communications equipment available within government agencies is recognized to be inadequate for the missions. So trying to hang one's hopes of destroying one's target on such a flimsy hope will leave one with nothing.<br /><br />At least one RepubliCan'T talking head is trying to say that Mrs. Clinton is not qualified to be president because she is a liar. This talking head is proposing that the answer to every and all questions for anything and everything is "Mrs. Clinton is a liar." Of course the hole in this strategy is that Mrs.Clinton's opponent has to be a 'not-liar.' Good luck with this approach when Drumpf is your candidate.<br /><br />"Clinton has committed no crimes with regard to her e-mails, but she has developed an unhealthy relationship with her pursuers, who surely will only redouble their efforts if she becomes President. Burned in the past, she has become excessively defensive, and harms herself more than those who long to bring her down."<br /><br /><br />This is the world of politics today.<br /><br />___________________~<br /><br />Drumpf: Making Amerika Grate Again.<br /><br />50 State Sweep.<br /><br />.<br />.<br />.<br /><br />...

I would posit it is the latter. Of course a relatively small number of political motivated self serving power hungry individuals (and groups) manipulate the masses to their own ends.<br /><br />Effective education is the answer. Short of a globally educated US population this kind of manipulating will continue to have far reaching effects.

There exists a portion which believes swiftboating is a legitimate tactic, a portion that finds the least progressive idea as 'commie', a portion which equates a personal arsenal a<br />constitutional right, a portion that hates science and its findings portion which demands National Forests and Parks be privatized, and a religious portion that would like to control your morals.
