What time will Hillary Clinton concede?

[Ljube]

Both Rubio and Kasich are probably damaged goods in 2020, but I believe that either of them would have defeated Clinton this year.  (Cruz, probably not.)  The point is that the GOP needs to nominate a candidate who doesn't immediately alienate large segments of the electorate.

And who might that be? Any suggestions?

Kasich or Sandoval would've thumped Hillary.

Low energy, low name recognition Kasich would have lost in a manner similar to Romney/McCain.

Now, pandering to minorities, that seems to be one possible way forward.

Whatever time you stop being a troll.

I tried to tell you what was going on.  I really tried.  This looks like a landslide, folks.

When will Spark498 accept his accolades???

Err, not anytime soon.

No idea, but at least she'll have the decency to do it should it happen.

[andrew_c]

She won't need to.

In 2020 when I win in an electoral landslide as the Ultra Explosions Party candidate.

Or you know, she won't.

Shortly before you wake up.

Good one.

I'm expecting she will "concede" in 2024 after her terms are up.

If she is elected, she will only be serving one term if she survives through it.

Deplorable.

Until people like you totally screw up the 2020 nominee and pick either Trump again or someone as worthless as him and she wins again. I have little faith in the party to pick someone who can win (Kaisich, Rubio, etc).

I don't see either of them as particulary strong candidate. Rubio was pretty much a huge dud, while Kasich... when Trump loses, all many Republican voters will remember come 2020 is "Kasich helped Hillary get elected by not backing the nominee."

Both would have done much better than Trump this year. Kasich would have almost certainly won, not sure about Rubio (but he probably would have won as well).

I supported Kasich, but I will never do so again. He was too moderate to win any states in the primary, who knows how he would have done in the general election. Nominating moderates hasn't gotten the party very far in past years (2008, 2012).

You realize the Republicans cannot rely on the white vote to win the general election anymore. They need to moderate there stance on immigration and stop trying to alienate them.

Not if the GOP nominates another moron like Trump who doesn't know what it takes to win an election.

Uh, sorry? I bought into what the polls and people on this forum were saying about early voting, demographics, the swing states, etc. I won't make the same mistake again next time.

That being said, Trump still ran a godawful campaign. You will certainly agree with me on that, right?

-He ran a mediocre campaign. He had a good data-based swing state strategy (see Nate Silver's recent article on this) -he knew where to look for votes-, but he often failed to attack where there were numerous opportunities for it, and showed himself to be quite unoriginal and uninnovative on message. His economic message was too blunt, and often failed to pick up potential supporters (campaigning on coal jobs in NoVa???). His speeches were obviously also better than his rallies. He ran an obviously better campaign than Romney, but not one clearly inferior or superior to McCain's. I will say his campaign was far superior to HRC's, though. WJC 1992 ran a far, far better campaign than Trump.

The big issue with Trump was his low candidate quality -he finds it hard to stop being an embarrassment to the more honesty- and manner- minded. That was an issue with him throughout his campaign, and contributed strongly to his very high unfavorables. But that wasn't Trump running a bad campaign, that was just a matter of personality.

As for my first statement, I was just stating a simple fact. I also got a bit caught up by later delusions, so I'm also guilty of being more correct in Spring than on November 6 (excluding my failure to forsee Iowa or Wisconsin as serious swing states in Spring). I still (on November 8 ) predicted Florida, North Carolina, and, foolishly, New Hampshire, would go to Trump, though.
