Quote:Hope those Nazis who showed up at the local Clinton campaign office last week show up in their full gear. I never said everyone didn't like him. Just that enough people from the base are turned off by him. So where is he gonna pick up votes? Blacks? Hispanics? Independents? It's simple math. He will lose and go down in flames. The only question is what he leaves in his wake when he goes, because he is incapable of going quietly. Don't be surprised when he releases another book after this. This charade is just a money grab for him.

 

This is Trump's biggest hurdle at the moment.  He has a base, that is clearly evident, but to make gains, he will have to win all of the people Romney won and then add on top of that with a minority group.  Trump is already winning white males.  He is going to have to collect gains from the female vote, Hispanic vote or the black vote. He has scored very low with those groups and his rhetoric in reference to them will be hard to overcome.  So he needs an overwhelming number of undecideds. Problem is, most of the time undecideds split pretty evenly at the end of the day.

 

Look, I am not saying it is impossible to Trump to win.  I am amazed at the fact he won the nomination.  That being said, If everyone took emotion out of it and looked at it like a chess match instead, there is a lot of work for the Trump campaign to do, all while defending traditionally red states as well. And before someone says Clinton has to defend traditionally blue states, the blue states she has to defend, like Pennsylvania and Michigan, have been targeted for years by Republicans so there is a strong Democratic machine already operating in those states dedicated to preventing that from happening.

 

Oh, and yes, people who do not traditionally vote will come out to support Trump because they like him, but people who do not typically vote will come out to vote for Hillary as well.

 

Anyways, I think everyone should chill on the campaign.  Polling suggest most people have already made up their minds.  Most won't change their decision.  Might as well wait until November.
