If AFL-CIO comes out for Trump, the election is effectively over.
This will, not to put too fine a point on it, never happen. The AFL-CIO would never burn their bridges to the Democratic party, particularly not for a Republican candidate likely to lose in a landslide.
If Trump does get the GOP nod, it's going to be great fun for us sensible Republicans to watch the parade of theories of how he will still win despite being down in the RCP average by what I expect will be an easy 8-10 points.
- hiram112 11y agoI wouldn't count Trump out. They've been saying there's no way he'll win since the moment he entered. And the media certainly has done everything they can to stop him. The fact of the matter is that Hillary has had it easy with Bernie. Trump will destroy her as she won't be able to hide behind politics as usual since Trump is self funded. Should be interesting...
- twoodfin 11y agoAnd the media certainly has done everything they can to stop him. No, they haven't. They've given him absurd amounts of coverage, which hasn't been nearly as critical as it might have been, and certainly will be once the media's interests ("Blow up the racist, stupid GOP!") stop aligning with his. ...since Trump is self funded. There is no way Trump can fund his own campaign. He's simply doesn't have a billion dollars in cash. He's nowhere near that rich.
