Might be the Kiss of Death for Trump today -- he said he won't release any more of his tax returns. That is a big reason why Romney lost.

Donald J. Trump's chances of winning Massachusetts is not such as unlikely event -- despite what conventional wisdom, both nationally and on PA, says to the contrary.
Here are just a few reasons why a Trump win in Massachusetts is very likely come November:
1--Between 20,000-25,000 lifelong Democrats have left the party and have registered as Republicans. While Democrats still have a large 3-1 registered voter edge over Republicans, a full 52 percent of all registered voters, 4+ million total voters, are not aligned with either party.
2--Also, despite it's reputation as a liberal, Democrat state, the GOP has a history of winning state-wide elections.
Of the last five Massachusetts governors, four were Republicans. Seven of the last 12 governors in Massachusetts were Republicans.
3--Scott Brown, a then-unknown state senator from some tank town called Wrentham, defeated the popular Democrat state Attorney General, Martha Coakley in 2010. This was the infamous 'Ted Kennedy' seat and it was a momentous upset. Many people said then that Brown and the GOP couldn't win a state-wide election, just like what people here are saying right now about Trump vs. Hillary.

Yeah, the Republican Congress that was so successful in stopping Obama's spending agendas??? 
Don't make me laugh too hard Clocker.
If Trump gets body slammed by Hillary in the Fall and a shitload of Republicans go down in Congress with him...you know...that wouldn't be such a bad thing. Maybe a full-on leftist Democratic government with the debt this high already would be the death of Democrats for good, once they finally finish destroying America as we know it (I believe Classhandicapper stated the same thing in another thread).
It should be fun no matter what happens, and fun is all that matters these days, right?

Yeah, like all those guys pictured really helped America become the shining beacon on the hill that it now is...trillions of dollars in debt and pretty much disrespected and laughed at by our rivals and enemies.
I'll take my chances on Trump, thank me very much.

At least we know he's going to think outside of the box, compared to everyone else who has held or is seeking the office. And that's what we want.
He can't **** it up anymore worse than it's already been ****ed...that much I DO believe.

I agree, the GOP has zero back bone on spending and entitlements. They think that if Obama wants a 10% increase and they only give him 5%, that's a spending cut.
More important is the need for a GOP Congress to keep Hillary in line on policy issues like global warming, guns, taxes and other regulatory excesses.

How about sequestration? Held discretionary spending about flat for 2 yrs --shame that it was rolled back. Of course sequestration was just the GOP calling Obama's bluff, so I guess you could credit Obama, but I won't. On entitlements, I totally agree with your point.

In a locked box, next to Obama's college papers.

I don't.
During the grand bargain talks real conservatives like Boehner had things like entitlements on the table but couldn't get his party to tow the line due to the influx of the Tea Party in the GOP ranks.
This general feeling of apathy towards the GOP establishment is the cancer and not the cure to the problems with modern conservatism. Trump is the embodiment of that. He isn't a solution. He and his supporters are THE problem.
Just look at the burn it down attitudes of traditionally conservative people like PA and Tom on here...
