Honestly, there isn't a republican on the ticket that stands a chance when you look at the numbers. Their only hope is that Bernie beats Hillary up in a bad way in the coming debate, and she still wins. Even then...the numbers don't lie.

This scenario could lead to a lot of young people staying away from the polls in November. I would really hate to see that happen. There has been so much enthusiasm shown this in election period by very young voters.

Of course, on the Republican side there has been a lot of new voters, too. However, they're motivated by an entirely different reason, anger.

This may be the most interesting convention and election cycle ever.

Meh, all the Republicans have been focused on each other. We don't know how they would handle Hillary or how that could change the polls.

I have a feeling Ted couldn't win vs her, because he would try to run on how legitimately conservative he is and America doesn't give a shite about that. Plus she will tie his policies to Trumps and Ted won't be able to separate from that negative image.

I really think the Republicans best chance in the general election is Trump. Once he focuses on Hillary he will be willing to throw mud at her no one in politics would have the balls to throw, and even though the Washington Elites will see it as sexist it will hit home with the average lower denominator American. "She killed an Ambassador. She is a bad wife, her husband has admitted cheating on her. She lied about this, she lied about that. She bleeds ever month, she is weak. etc."

Hillary is a pretty well known commodity, so anyone paying attention to politics for the last decade knows what she stands for which would cook Cruz's goose. Trump has a way to connect to all those people we aren't usually part of the process, and with that group her gender might be a liability.

We will see I guess.
