We'll see what happens. I really wish the presidency was done by popular vote. A democrat in Texas or a republican in California might as well stay home on Election Day. Their votes essentially don't matter. Then you are admitting that the people of this country generally disapprove of Obamacare and it was rammed up our a$$? Quote

Trump has made it this far with vague allusions to "plans", and by insulting his opponents. When it comes to winning voters in the swing states, it's going to take a lot more than that I agree with you on Rubio. Quote

The numbers say slightly over half of the country disapproves (52-55% depending on source generally). Although I will grant you that if you polled only people who actually vote, that number is likely to be much higher. Having said all of that, the Dems are likely to pick up seats in both the House and the Senate this election. However, it doesn't look like it will be enough to gain control of either (a few in each). Quote

He won't be allowed to just say things he'll really have to start going into details on his ideas rather than just saying trust me I'll make America great. low energy and other insults will not doom Hillary like jeb and others. He also won't receive all the media attention advantage he has over the GOP. Hillary is a poor debater...cannot deal with tough questions because she has never had to deal with them, even in the debates. She will also have to defend her horrible record against a Republican...I'm quite sure they will bring it up. Quote
