I don't think the right has talked w/ clarity about that for years. Their messaging is so geared toward the social conservatives, bigots & nutters.

Kasich would have been a great candidate for them, and a guy who gets that. I think he'd be trouncing Hillary in the polls right now.

I think that to those with healthy political knowledge, Kasich would appeal far greater than Hillary, but it seems to the numbers of voters with dismal political knowledge, Kasich is a complete unknown. In their neophyte view, Trump is the most recognizable option. It's purely a function of their familiarity with Trump. We're talking about the typical reality TV viewer. Probably watches news only while flipping channels.

Well, I'm no rightie - but I think they'd argue that these policies had some effectiveness in the '80's, and also in the '90's (Clinton was really strong on balancing the budget, and famously talked about "smaller, smarter government").

I'll tell you one thing. I'm no economist, but you don't have to be one to understand that the debt is a ticking time bomb. It IS time for smaller, smarter government, and a good conservative candidate could make that case.

That was back when people across the aisle could set some of their differences aside and get actual work done.

Agreed. I don't think anyone here believes me when I say this, but I would have voted for Kasich over Hillary. Without any hesitation. I really think he'd be a great President.

And if the GOP can get a voter like me for one of their candidates, it really says something. Kasich would have won big.

So lower taxes, less spending & lowering the debt have never lifted everyone up?

Your premise is flawed. Even if you don't like Trump, that doesn't mean that you "can't" vote for him.

My advice to Republicans who don't like Trump is to do what I have did in 2008 and 2012: hold your nose and vote against the 'rat.

Hey, how are those economic projections going, anyway?

And a Trump supporter is accusing others of "arrogance"?

There is a slim shot Trump could win, but he absolutely needs some sort of damaging revelation to come out about Hillary. He needs the October surprise. Otherwise, he's done.

I am not a Trump supporter, I just think Clinton will be PC bullshit on steroids. As for economic projections, the FTSE 100 and 250 are at record levels, so thanks for asking!!
