What's this?

I know I can be a dick, but I’m honestly trying to

understand how you think Nikki has a shot. Are you incapable of making the case?

Sorry, but “when GOPers get behind a candidate that can actually win” when he has a FIFTY point lead on the next closest candidate, is not a serious response. And GOPers can get behind someone other than trump all they want. The problem is there are more Trumpers than GOPers. The GOP is dead. It is now the party of trump. I’d love to hear a credible counterargument to that, but the polls don’t lie.

If Nikki was going to unseat trump, she would have needed to make way more headway on the polls by now
