because it could backfire on you. I remember in 1980 how democrats wanted Ronnie Reagan because they thought he would be the easiest to beat. I think that Trump is certainly beatable but he also has a lot of disaffected people who will vote for him no matter what. To my way of thinking the easiest Republican to beat would be Jeb! Bush.

We also asked Republicans who their pick for the Democratic nominee would be and Biden and Sanders tie at 20% with Webb at 16%, Clinton at 9%, O'Malley at 8%, Chafee at 7%, and Lawrence Lessig at 1%. [...] Among those picking a Democrat simply because they like them, Biden gets 27% to 23% each for Sanders and Webb, 12% for Clinton, and 11% for O'Malley. Among those picking a Democrat because they think it would be easier to beat them in the fall, 26% pick Sanders to 19% for Chafee, 17% for Biden, 16% for Webb, and 11% for Clinton.

The GE ads and stump speeches will break the GOPs all time low for most offensive, most despicable, most troglodyte, knuckle dragging infested GE season EVA!

They will come out to vote in droves.

You better believe it.
