How did Mitt Romney win nearly 60 percent of white voters yet still manage to lose the election? Oh Yeah, *snaps fingers* because Obama won a disproportionate numbers of minorities. It's all about a groups percentage of the electorate is why. Whites are making up less of the voter base each election and minorities are making up more. Which makes winning the election without their help nearly impossible. Sure, Trump in theory could do it. He could drive 66-70 percent of white voters to go for him. And minority turnout rates could take a nose dive. However, typically the GOP averages at around 56 percent. So unless we are relieving the elections of Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon he needs more than just the white vote.


i.e. If you are clinging to the notion that Caucasians are going to win it for Donald, then you are going to be sadly disappointed.

It answered it completely. I can't help it if you don't know how to respond to it.

Trump announced that she was doing a terrible job and said "I could do better! I should run for governor of New Mexico!" This was met with a mixture of loud booing and confused cheering.

He was interrupted throughout his speech by protesters inside the rally and addressed each one of them with classy statements like "Go home to mommy". What a role model! America can sink no lower than this.
I just read about Mr. Trump's remarks about the popular governor of New Mexico:

How cow. Or, in the words of Trumpy:


Sad!

Ahh so it's your claim that Whites vote the issues. That minorities (African Americans) can only vote the color of their skin.

Are you sure you want to go with that argument? Because if you are, their 13% of the vote won't make any difference in this election.

(And I didn't think you would name a single state as I asked.)
