LOL Ice Spear and Mizzouian can never stop theirselves from displaying their utter hackishness when it comes to making predictions about Republican voters.

The fact is they never understood the actual reason why Trump won, Humongous amount of Name Recognition, a super divided field , 2 billion in free media (without this he loses) , and Republican Establishment giving all the money to Jeb when nobody was in the mood for another Bush in office.



The fact is this primary will be either a closer version of 2000 or 2012. If Extreme wins it will be 2000, If I win it will be 2012 but what I know for certain is it wont be 2016.


BTW: If Mitt Romney and John McCain werent too liberal for Republican voters, I certainly wouldn't be either(I am probably to the right of them on many issues)

You may be to the right of them on issues that Republican voters either don't care about or actively oppose you on. You're to the left of them on nearly everything they prioritze and actually base their vote on.

Did you notice all those Missouri Republicans who voted against right to work? Wink

Actually no I dont think there is many issues Im to the left of Romney on

On Immigration: I support Romney on enforcing E-Verify and denying government benefits to illegal immigrants. Romney by the way also supported making it easier for people who graduated in a Marketable Degree or had a good job here for many years to get a green card. I support that as well

On Trade: Romney was pretty supportive of free trade with exception of China , which is my postion as well

 Abortion: I support a 20 week ban , and banning government funding for it . I would say that during the debate and people would still applaud.

Obamacare: this would be problematic but I probably would come up with a replacement plan which is probably pretty close on the ideological scale as Ocare so I might be able to skate by on that issue

Kasich would have beaten Ted Cruz in a one on one match. Ted Cruz is the most unlikeable type of candidate you can almost ever find and would certainly lose .

Best Case Scenario for ExtremeConservative


Best Case Scenario for Old School Republican


Likely Result

ExtremeConservative, though very off-putting to coastal/suburban/moderate Republicans with his positions on abortion and other social issues, manages to eek out a win with a focus on bread and butter conservative issues that rallies the heartland states in his favor. OSR does well with blue state Republicans and suburban Republicans in states like Arizona and Virginia.


I think I would win SC in the best case and lose IA . Remember SC voted for McCain and Romney while IA almost always votes for the religious right candidate .
