I doubt the Republicans will win a general election ever again, and certainly not anywhere near in the future, just because of how the electoral map is constructed - REGARDLESS of which candidate they choose:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-...ald-trump/
Dems got a massive starting advantage.
But it really makes no difference either way, since both are capitalist bourgeois parties in the pockets of the CEO's and bankers, and both are anti-working class. Both are equally shit choices.
And this is where the eyerolls come, since the Dems are anything but socialist (and yes, this includes Bernie who is at best a social democrat and not socialist - there IS a difference). Either way, I fail to see how replacing them with a xenophobic and self righteous facist blowhard like Trump will make things any better. The only thing a Trump presidency would accomplish is soaring real estate prices in Canada.
People don't hate Trump because hes a "doer". People hate him because of the blatantly sexist, racist, homophobic, anti-working class sentiment that he spews all the time. In general, he's just a miserable and hateful person. Hillary is hardly any better, but only the most extreme of deranged sociopaths could see any value in someone like Trump, whereas at least Hillary has an appeal and charm about her (however fake it is). Or maybe someone who doesn't doesn't see/understand that his politics are ultra reactionary and backwards in almost every conceivable way, even by bourgeois standards; though wrapping my mind around this is difficult considering he makes it more obvious than almost any other GOP candidate. Oh, and I forgot to mention: hes ugly as fuck.
