is how they are going to win elections. There will be three parties: two on the centre or centre left. Trump's base will be enough to win elections be in his 43% or his 37%. The other two parties will split the vote. This is what it is like in Canada. I think Trudeau won with 36% last election and got a minority government but in the US that would be a presidential win. They will split the centre. And that is how they beat it. I bet that is the plan. Talk me down!!!!

(34,661 posts)happening here in Nevada. The Party seems to be taken over with the likes of Laxalt,McDonell,Angle,Fiore,the Bundy Klan,and the 3% militia people.
When you run a Ex-Mixed Marshall Arts Person with a history of Violence as a Congressional Candidate,you are headed in the wrong direction.
Notice Laxalt just filed another lawsuit against our Election Officals as well as challenging a certain group of Voters he calls illegals. Laxalt is nothing more than a White Privileged POS. The Sucker does not seem to understand reality. And Reality is,our State is almost fifty per cent people of color from all over the planet. White Mormon's do not have total control anymore.

(36,745 posts)Like Wilson in 1912 and Clinton in 1992.
Presidents elected on 42 to 45 pct of the popular vote.
