Hopefully Hillary will be ready for a Trump switch-out such as Gov Nikki Haley

[CK_John]

or Carly Fiorina.

[Raster]

1. We all better hope the Rump stays in the game...

... at least Clinton has somewhat of a chance to beat him.

[larkrake]

2. you best pray not, they will have more favorability

well, not carli, no, it will be Jeb or Rubio

[tonyt53]

3. She was prepared for any person the GOP put in front of her. it makes no difference.

Oh, and either of those two would be made fools of by Hillary, just like Trump will.

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. She struggles against Trump.

How bad is that?

What happens if a real challenger comes along?

[leftynyc]

25. According to this Reuters poll

she's widening her lead against don the con. You have a funny definition of struggling:

Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton has opened up a double-digit lead over Republican rival Donald Trump, regaining ground after the New York billionaire briefly tied her last month, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday.

[TheCowsCameHome]

36. Against that buffoon? She should be burying him.

Low double-digits is lame.

[leftynyc]

38. LOL

So now she's not winning by ENOUGH!!! Now that's lame.

[TheCowsCameHome]

40. Against a racist bigot-clown like him? Get real.

It shouldn't even be a contest............but it is.

She's in big trouble if the switcheroo comes along.

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. Or Romney. The bait-and-switch is likely.

[larkrake]

7. more than likely, Trump clearly wants out

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. When the time is right, he'll bail out

and be gone.

Then watch the action.

[Ace Rothstein]

5. Trump supporters will lose their shit if this happens.

The GOP nominee will lose the Trump voters 100%.

[larkrake]

10. well, only 30 % of repugs are for Trump, they rather have 70% repugs, minorities and women

[Algernon Moncrieff]

14. He has amazingly high numbers with white male voters

Something approaching 70% in the last survey I saw.

[larkrake]

34. no, he is losing more each day. Dont accept the media hype. If those white males had another

candidate, they would jump ship like his endorsers are jumping today

[Algernon Moncrieff]

41. I don't think so

Especially down south - he speaks their language.

[NurseJackie]

8. Hillary's ready for ANYTHING! (She controls the media, remember?)

[NCTraveler]

16. I wonder how much your post right here cost her?

[NurseJackie]

18. I get a dollar per post (flat rate) and an extra 50¢ if I include an animated gif.

[NCTraveler]

22. Anything additional for translating brail?

[NurseJackie]

23. The Braillle text says "Hillary will be our nominee."

[NCTraveler]

30. #hillyes

[HughLefty1]

11. Just as likely HRC gets switched out..

Her unlikeables are so high...for good reason.

The Hillarians don't want to hear this but I could easily see Bernie, Joe (ugh), Elizabeth, or even Obama 3rd term more likely than HRC ever reaching the WH.

[NCTraveler]

12. She will be ready for Trump or anyone else they bring. nt.

[Armstead]

28. If they somehow dump Trump and replace him with someone like Haley....

ahmmmmmm. That could do serious damage.

[NCTraveler]

31. I'll analyze it if we get there.

I'm back to watching their side a bit more. They have to be shitting themselves after Trumps response to Clintons speech.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

13. If you think we are divided as a party, waith 'til that switchout takes place

Cruz will scream from the rafters that he's next in line, and Trump supporters will scream that the establishment is silencing the vox populi.

I think they're going to dance with them that brung'em. The GOP establishment desperately wants to distance themselves from Trump's remarks, but those remarks are beloved by his base.

[beachbumbob]

15. If GOP takes nomination from trump Hillary wins in massive landslide

Trump conservative base sits it out or votes for Hillary...dats the facts of it

[TheCowsCameHome]

19. Lol.

Dream on, bro.

She couldn't beat anyone but Trump.

[beachbumbob]

20. Use your head...trump supporters more zealots than sanders

They sit it out if GOP steals it at the convention....trump would have fake something like an unknown illiness...

[TheCowsCameHome]

37. And they hate her even more than

they like him. She is absolutely reviled by them, and they will do anything to deny her the crown.

Use your noggin'.

[CK_John]

21. GOP cannot take nomination from Trump he would need to resign or be unable

to physical serve.

[sufrommich]

17. She'd have to fight Cruz to the death to get it. He's already

acting like he's planning a coup.

[CK_John]

24. Which one Carly Fiorina or Gov Nikki Haley.

[Armstead]

26. Haley maybe -- and she might wash the floor with Clinton

Carly? No way.

[Hiraeth]

27. Nikki would be a good VEEP choice for Trump but, unless Trump drops out voluntarily

I don't see a switch-out happening.

[MFM008]

29. Im afraid they made their RUMP bed

now they have to lie in the ooze and slime that is Donald.

[ymetca]

32. I could see Trump's plane mysteriously crashing...

... so they'd save face.

Terrifying prospect though it may be.

[Rex]

33. I don't think the GOP is functional enough at this stage to do anything but watch itself explode

and then point fingers after HRC is elected POTUS.

[The empressof all]

35. It will be a Bush/Kasich ticket or something along those lines...

They will be having a come to Jesus talk with Mr Trump within a week IMO. He may be a clown but he isn't stupid and won't risk total ridicule. There will be a medical issue that will require him to withdraw. Personally I am of the opinion this was a classic rope a dope from the beginning. They knew a moderate couldn 't get threw the primaries. They knew only a moderate could beat Hillary in November. This was there way of assuring they had a viable candidate. What surprised me was the extent they all played along....Paul Ryan looks just so embarrassed by it all...I'm surprised by that...but it still does not make me think well of him.

[onenote]

39. I saw there was shortage of tinfoil at my store. Now I know where it all ended up.

Awesome thread.

[CK_John]

42. It's hard to think outside of the tinfoil box.

[Lord Magus]

43. That would be even more of a dream scenario for Dems than facing Trump is.

The Trumpanzees would literally riot at the convention. Probably try to invade the arena as an armed mob. The Republican Party would be torn apart forever.
