You can't say that. Ronald Reagan, an outsider, took this state hands down. He was wildly popular, even though most polls said he was unliked. Trump has a Hollywood factor which will be hard for the Beautiful People to ignore.

You realize he governed California...right?

NYTimes calling it for Trump...

Hillary on a plane to Qatar yet?

After he had served as Governor.

Californians trusted him- don't think it will be the same for Trump-

BUT, we shall see.........

Trump up 154-99. Almost the gap he needs to cover Cali.

 

[oyarde]

I guess Drudge is calling it for Florida and Ohio?

I am @ 264 now , counting those .

I doubt that since the media would have done the same if not worse than Rand. The Maddow-Rand CRA interview would have been shown in endless rotation and the news media would be equating Rand to being pro colored only water fountains, bathrooms and restaurants. Not to forget they would be trashing Ron in the process with "newly found" /eyeroll newsletters saying they are an entire family of racists.

Been saying the same thing here since 07, the only way in the future for people like the Pauls, Paleocons or Libertarians to win on a national level is if there are major investments made by those same groups into national/local affiliate broadcast affiliates and a news wire service that can rival AP.

Nah, Trump practically opened himself to attacks and put it all on a silver platter for Hillary and the liberal media and he is still competitive with her.

Rand has shown to be a much smarter and much more real and relatable politician than Trump. Rand would be smashing if he were the nominee.

If Trump wins Cali he wins the election by a landslide.

You were saying?

That is a different incident.

He did the same thing to the reporter.

All this proves is that Trump regularly mocks disabled people.

This kind of thing, where you cock you're wrists when you mimic someone to make it look like they're disabled is what 12 year old boys do, and only if they're a-holes. It's an insult to actual disabled people whether the person you're mocking is disabled or not.

But in addition to mocking disabled people by doing that regularly, as shown in the video you posted, he also did it for that reporter who actually is disabled. And here's the video of that.

I wonder if Hillary is conscious to witness this

I wonder if the Dems wish they had nominated a decent human being.

That's not even a remote possibility.

Drumpf up by 350K in Ohio with 54% reporting.

 

[euphemia]

You realize he governed California...right?

Yes. I was a little schoolgirl when he was elected governor. Nixon was from our county.

 

[Madison320]

I think it was NYT that just said Trump has a 53% chance to win.

57% TRUMP! Hillary down to 40%! Wow, this is crazy.

 

[The Gold Standard]

I wonder if the Dems wish they had nominated a decent human being.

They didn't have one running.

Yes, it would not have taken much for improvement.

He did that 4 to 5 times over the last 2 years with the same gestures. Trump did not intentionally mock the reporter's disability. That shake was part of Trumps' repertoire.

MI and IA

 

[r3volution 3.0]

Trump's going to win FL, lose NC, lose PA, lose, MI, and the rest of the "firewall."

That one dude... seemed Texan.. he seemed alright.
