Yes the republicans will also need one of: Nevada, Colorado, Iowa or possibly New Hampshire. But the 3 states that I said are the key really are. Without one of them the republicans would then need to pick up Pennsylvania. Romney lost that state by 5 points, but honestly I do not see Pennsylvania going red in this election.

There is absolutely zero evidence to back this up. Trump is the only Republican currently LOSING to Hillary. Rubio has been outpolling her for months, Kasich is stomping her, even Cruz is beating her by a slim margin. Trump on the other hand is consistently getting spanked by Clinton and Sanders both.

Democrats apathetic towards Hillary could reluctantly stomach a Rubio or Kasich presidency, but they despise Trump, as does most of the freaking country.

I'm not seeing it.
Yes, but more importantly Hillary gets less turnout and proportion than Barack.

Yet he manages to fill stadiums, leads in the polls, has won 2 out of 3 states, and has 67 delegates.

Indeed. You might want to post something relevant to the context of the conversation.

Justin Bieber manages to fill stadiums, who cares? Good luck winning a national election when well over half the country can't stand you.

Donald Trump is never, ever, ever going to get the minority vote. You heard it here first.

Donald will never get the minority vote. The only way he wins is by winning over white non-Hispanic college grads in large numbers to go with his blue collar redneck base, and that's improbable too.

Never EVER, not even in some alternate universe will Donald Trump get the Latino vote.

He needs the white vote, and not all whites will support his ignorant a..

People seem to forget there are a LOT of whites who are democrat or lean democrat. And there are a lot of white republicans who will not vote for this clown.

If Trump is the candidate, Hillary might win all states except maybe the Bible Belt because they just love his Bible knowlegde. It's his favorite book after all
