I'm sad, /pol/. Not because there's a chance that this guy could actually be President, but because there ISN'T one. While diehard Republicans will have no problem voting for him, moderates and independents would rather shoot themselves. Just look at any poll. Cruz, Rubio, even Kasich all have a competitive edge against Hillary, but she dominates him in particular. I don't want Hillary to be my president. I don't.

Depends o the moderates/independents you talk too. So far thats been his biggest base and from the right his opposition have been ideological purists who dont realize the republican party have failed them/the elites cynically running the party.
>>67927638
Nice conjecture but the polls beg to differ.
>>67927413
REEEEEE
Wtf are you talking about
He's the most moderate candidate, pulling more moderates and swing liberals and true conservatives than any far right or far left establishment candidates
If you actually studied all their stances you would know this
Stop being a cuck faggot and study facts and form logical opinions

>polls this early.
Reminder that around March Reagan was getting BTFO by Carter.
>>67928718
Good point Mario, but what about the other candidates? Did Bush, Weicker and Anderson score evenly or better than Carter at the same time?
These polls are relying on Trump's negatives staying low, but all these crocodile tears conservatives saying they WON'T vote for Trump know damn well that they'll pick Trump over Hillary or Bernie
It also relies on Hillary's negatives staying the same despite all the new email scandals, grand jury, etc.

1. Trump has the highest favorability rating among Republicans
2. Trump is creating a new coalition of Republican voters the likes of which we haven't seen since 1980. While some Republicans hate Trump enough to abstain from voting, and some may even vote for Hillary just to spite him, Trump is bringing in millions of white, working class voters who haven't voted Republican since Reagan. Polls show that 20% of Democrats would vote for Trump in a general election.
3. General election polls this far out mean nothing. Reagan was loosing to Carter by 20 points at this time in the 1980 election cycle.

I'm an Independent voting for him.

>Hurr
It's worth nothing that Trump has barely said anything at all about Hillary. Once he wins the nomination and has one target to focus on (especially one as juicy as a traitor with blood on her hands), it's going to be a bloodbath.
>>67927413
shoo you fucking faggot shill
>>67930617
if he wins the nomination that is
>>67927873
Riiiight, so explain to me how Trump has a less chance than people who have won 1 state. Trump is dominating how does he have less chance?
>>67930982
Because that's only indicative of how he does against other Republicans, not against Democrats. He won't be running against Cruz or Kasich in the general.
>>67927413
this is the calm before the storm test
if we elect Trump then we pass as the human race and can begin are ascension into the cyber punk era
if we fail then we need to cause havoc and guerilla warfare and culture/race war which may give us a second chance. it would be the final test deciding whether we deserve to explore the final frontier or not
>>67927413
He will be the first Republican I am voting for other than Ron Paul in a primary and I am 35 years old.
>moderates and independents would rather shoot themselves
Not if it's Trump-Webb 2016.
Fuck I know it's just a fantasy but let me dream
He's gonna get the union/blue collar vote
This election is going to defy predictions because Hillary is just as hated as he is but a lot of people are afraid to speak it, and everyone knows she's a globalist shill
All the bitching and moaning about him being a bigot - anti-immigration used to be a core tenet of the Democratic party and of any party seeking to represent the working man, and those people still see the value of it
>>67927413
It's all about being informed, I think. I consider myself a moderate and with minimal information on Trump he's my favorite candidate right now. Once he really starts competing with Hillary and being put on stage to really rip her a new vagina, it'll bring in plenty of voters. Hillary is just too hated to pull in the extra votes she needs to become president. Plus, really hoping she gets put in prison.

>“I would vote for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton in a heartbeat,” said Patt Coltem, 60, of St. Paul. “She’s just too shady. She’s a pathological liar."
>“I will never support Hillary Clinton,” said Adam Burch, 28, of Minneapolis. “I identify as a socialist. She stands for everything that I’m against. It’s Bernie or nothing.”
>"He’s the only other person in this race who doesn’t have someone backing him,” Coltem explained. “Trump is crazy; he does a lot of weird stuff. I would prefer not to vote for him for president, but that’s how much I dislike Hillary Clinton.”
>A CBS/New York Times poll released in January found less than than half of Democratic voters nationwide said they would enthusiastically support Hillary Clinton if she were to become the Democratic nominee. Fourteen percent would not support her in the general election, 27 percent would support her with “some reservations,” and 11 percent said they would only back her if she becomes the nominee.

Dude republican turnout is like 1.4 to 1 so far this primary season when compared to democrats. He can take a little hit for his "unlikability factor" and still win.
Also consider this. Donald J trump is worth 5-10 billion dollars depending on who you talk to, and has controlled over 500 businesses. When you go digging through the records of anyone owning that many businesses, I bet there is a 95% chance you are going to dig up some juicy corruption or tax evasion stories. Guess what? Trump is fucking clean. There's no ammo there where you would expect there to be a goldmine. He is a legitimate businessman in a world where non dirty billionaires literally do not exist.
Now let's look at Hillary. She is literally an evil cunt with millions of dollars of special interest funding including 8 million from illuminati flavor of the month George Soros.
Once Trump starts ruthlessly tearing into her scandals it's fucking going to be a wrap.
Hillary: what happened to Trump steaks? LOL
Trump: what happened to the innocent servicemen you got killed in Benghazi?
Hillary: You're a racist LOL
Trump: Emails in which you conspire to destabilize the Middle East have become public domain due to you sending them on non government email servers.
This goes on and on. The attacks against Trump are petty by comparison. Even if she digs up something big against him, he will always have more ammo than she does.
Hello and welcome to me being a Democrat and voting for Trump.
