Haha, you guys are funny.


Seriously, though, the current advantage Clinton has is in organization. Boots on the ground. Which translates into the ability to get your voters to the polls. I have read a lot of articles that say there are a lot of Republicans who are very unhappy with the way Trump has neglected to set up the kind of infrastructure that can drive turnout. Turnout is what got Obama elected and reelected. The Dems had a massive database which listed people who were democrats but unlikely to bother to vote, and they got those people to the polls.


When the country is polarized to the point where 9 out of 10 people are not going to change their mind no matter what, turnout wins the election, and that means organization- getting people registered, calling them on Election Day, giving them a ride to the polls if necessary. It means greasing some palms and getting community leaders involved. When the country is 13% Hispanic, 12% black, 51% female, 5 to 10% gay, add in the college students, and you can see, all the democrats need to win is TURNOUT.

And they are losing turnout big time. They are down in the primaries. Plus like it or not, Trump does actually steal some of the traditional Dem votes. Hes not Romney, union members, gays, and black will all see a greater percentage goto Donald over what Romney had. I wouldn't count on the college kids if I was Hillary either. She has taken the wind out of their sails by betting out their preferred candidate Bernie (and then the scandal doesn't increase enthusiasm either). 

 

Hilliary will steal very few republican votes. Bernie would have stole some, but ol' Hildog, no chance. Other than outright manipulation I don't see how Hilliary could win at this point, but things can always change. I feel much better about Trumps chances than I ever did for Romney. You knew he was a bad choice from the outset (Romney). He really was 'born to lose.'
