No seems to remember that Donald Trump has been hinting for a while now he might run as one of those bland low-energy "moderate hero" types in the Reform Party. Not sure if that would make a difference (the man is dreadfully boring and has no charisma whatsoever) but giving Perot's numbers it should be taken into account.

Lmao Trump has basically gone bankrupt too many times and is a joke now . Maybe if he ran in 1992 or 1988 he could get 5-10 percent of the vote but not in 2000

I really think you underestimate Trump. He could certainly bring the Reform Party to the left on economics and go after the old New Deal coalition. West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Michigan will be very interesting if he gets the nomination.

West Virginia is probably the 2nd most Democratic state in the nation other then Mass, so even if trump gets 10% of vote there there is no way a Dem can lose that state.


you'd be surprised. Coal is big there so while Gore will probably still win I think there's an off chance that his environmentalism might hurt him a bit there.

I also think it'll be interesting to see how the W2 protests going on right now in Seattle have an effect on the election, especially since Gore was a major proponent of deals like NAFTA. This boomtime economy isn't going to last forever and I don't think we've seen the worst effects of globalization yet.
