Well, we have an ass and a liar running for President. Seems you like the liar. Fair enough.

The thing about an ass is that most often it is a means to an end. A liar though, it's part of them and they'll lie about anything and everything without reason, they just lie, it really is who they are.

A Pew Hispanic Research study led to an estimate that the 2016 Republican presidential candidate will need almost half of the Latino vote to be elected President.
An Awakened Giant: The Hispanic Electorate is Likely to Double by 2030 | Pew Research Center

Remember, the high-water mark for Latino support of a Republican presidential candidate was 44 percent for President George W. Bush in 2004. By 2008, John McCain earned 31 percent. And Mitt Romney could earn just 27 percent in 2012.

As for Trump, he has already alienated a majority of Latino, Black, Asian, Female, educated, etc voters..

There are just not enough crazy and angry White male voters in America that can carry Trump across the finish line.

I find this obsession (by both sides) with every single poll this far out from the election rather funny,. It is sort of like getting a first down early in the second quarter and the people in the stands going wild and chest bumping like the game is all over.

And if the poll shows your candidate ahead it is a smart, accurate, important poll. But if the next time it comes out it shows the same candidate losing ground, it is a stupid, inaccurate, meaningless poll.

Ahh, I'm not sure.. not only is the media out to get Trump, but he's done a pretty good job at turning many people away from what should be a slam dunk win. he's blowing the election all by himself.

The issue for the Democrats is Trumps base, is locked in, where Clintons base is so tired of her bs, that they might not turn out to vote.

The latino vote really doesn't come into play. You have 8 states that contain 78% of the latino population.
California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, New York, New Jersey and Illinois

California, NY, Illinois, NJ - are Democratic strongholds - NM swings towards the Democrats

Texas, Arizonia - are Republican strongholds - so the only state really in play are Florida where the hispanic vote counts is Florida - in the other states it's a non issue although it keeps being reported as such

And now you know why the Democrats wants more illegals to enter the country.

Who cares how much the nation is destroyed in the process, Democrats need to win at all cost..

Unless he radically improves his standing with college graduates, Mr. Trump doesn't have a chance.

If he stays quiet over the next few weeks his numbers will likely improve. We'll see what his poll numbers by the end of august.

I wouldn't be so sure about Arizona. The RCP poll average shows Clinton slightly ahead - and that's without taking into account a poll 3 days ago which shows Clinton with a 3-point edge.

RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - Arizona: Trump vs. Clinton

Clinton holds 3-point lead over Trump in Arizona, says poll | TheHill

In Arizona things are going to be close and it could easily go Blue this election.

The biggie though is of course Florida. If Trump loses Florida he's almost certain to lose the election and it's not looking particularly good for him there.

RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - Florida: Trump vs. Clinton

Aside from RCP, Nate Silvers FiveThirtyEight has Arizona going Blue in his "Now-cast" (admittedly the most volatile of his 3 models) and Florida Blue in all 3 of his models.
