May 21, 201610 yr You're correct. Trump is energizing white men. But he's also alienating female and Hispanic voters. So it's going to take more than a "small number" of extra white voters to win the swing states. Recent stories indicate Hispanics are turning out in large numbers to register to vote, and I can guarantee they're not doing so to vote for Trump. If you had asked me in 1988, after reading a Newsweek cover story about Donald Trump, myself being old fashioned and pretty strictly raised, NEVER in a million years would I ever vote for this guy. Fast forward to 2016, after 8 years of the Obama Administration, heck yeah I'll vote for this guy. You have a very wealthy businessman with a great family, why would anyone in their right mind get mixed up in this mess? Is it so hard to believe that Trump honestly wants to give something back to his country? You say he turns off women, well I am one he doesn't. And if I were able, I'd campaign for him in every state, I've already worked on my family which I never do. Who knows how many Never Hillary Bernie voters will cross over to Trump? And I think, and hope, there will be more than a "few white guys" who decide to vote against Hillary. And I can guarantee you, this will be the most important election the United States will ever hold.
May 21, 201610 yr If the movement in the polls are as seismic in the next three weeks, as the last. Trump will be the front runner coming out of the conventions. If Bernie goes scorched earth at the convention, Hillary will be wounded and Bernie supporters will be beyond reconciliation. I've heard some pundits compare this DEM convention season with 2008, where Hillary supporters came out and voted for Obama. The difference here is that the Bernie supporters LOATH Clinton about as much as the GOP does. I don't see Bernie supporters supporting HRC out of a contested convention.

I'm a Bernie supporter and I don't loathe Hillary. Neither do most of my fellow Bernie supporter friends. Don't worry yourself, Davy Crockett, we will unite behind the Hill and Bill machine in November.

May 22, 201610 yr Science did you expect this. Trump closing the others Republicans out as easy as he did and Hillary now struggling to put away a old socialist? Your worst nightmare is much closer than you could ever imagine. Just saying. Well, not my worst nightmare. Ted Cruz would have been my worst nightmare. I'd take Trump over Cruz without hesitation. I'm still not terribly worried though. I still think Hillary will win pretty comfortably in the in the Electoral count. And that old Socialist will make Hillary stronger candidate in the end just like this old Socialist bastard keeps you people on your toes. Edited May 22, 201610 yr by Science Friction
May 22, 201610 yr Bernie supporters will jump on The Trump Train and get their revenge on Crooked Hillary! Can't see that happening.

Mamaw, I admire your passion but I can't for the life of me understand why any woman would vote for that man. Angry white men, yeah I get it. But women? I can't say I am disappointed in evangelicals because their support of Trump falls right in line with everything I believe about them . He could blaspheme the Holy Spirit(and no doubt has) and they would still hitch up to his anger-based and fear-mongering Trump Train. No one on here should concern themselves with campaigning for the Trumpster. Waste of time. He can't, and won't win, thanks to women and Hispanics. It won't be close in the Electoral College.

Some may have their feelings hurt enough to vote against Hillary but the vast majority will support her, especially after Bernie holds up her hand at the convention. I'd like to see Bernie win, but it's not going to happen, short of a prison cell for Hillary. And she's not going to prison. Bernie supporters will do as I will do and unite around the Madame Secretary , the next POTUS.

That, more than anything else, is reason for Bernie to hang around. Perhaps her first act in office will be to Pardon herself!
May 22, 201610 yr http://www.cnbc.com/2016/03/18/bernie-sanders-supporters-could-vote-for-donald-trump-expert.html WOW!! SOME Sanders supporters COULD vote for Trump? Alert the media.

No one on here should concern themselves with campaigning for the Trumpster. Waste of time. He can't, and won't win, thanks to women and Hispanics. It won't be close in the Electoral College. I sure can. Start with all the wives of those Carrier employees in Indianapolis who are having their jobs shipped off to Mexico. Same for Steel and Coal wives in PA, OH, IN and MI. No GOP candidate is going to get the vote from women who want consequence free abortions, or, have made choices that make them dependent upon government for their existence. The Democrats have created constituencies that can be bribed by government support. These constituencies will be challenged to continue in their life of government dependence, or jobs.
