      This, I disagree with. The fact that Trump won is fairly strong proof that any Republican could have won. Of course, Kasich would have had a different coalition & victory was uncertain, but these are the natural dynamics after 8 years of an incumbent.https://twitter.com/fredontwittur/status/1120735814726631426 …

      If Kasich had won, I doubt hr’d havr rallied the working class Americans Trump pandered to during his campaign, and would have been equally repulsive to both a large minority of the #NeverTrump and the pro-Rubio and/or Cruz crowd, thus sealing victory for Hillary.

      I don't know, Crank. Tell me which candidate would have delivered Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania?

      Lose some white working class votes, gain suburban votes.

      I'm not convinced those are separate votes in the rust belt. There is a lot of "working class" mentality in the rust belt burbs. Some were Dems and some voted not at all. But his trade position was/is unique and hit a niche of voters previously untapped by Reps.

          Dan, it's not fair to inject actual data into a Twitter debate. But, the comparison to Toomey probably does deflate my argument b/c Toomey and Trump are polar opposites on trade and populist issues.

          The complicating factor is that someone like Cruz or Rubio would probably have won some votes in Western Pennsylvania among voters who abandoned Toomey specifically over the gun issue (and vice versa in the Philly burbs).
