Y'all can ride this "Trump train" if you wish; I don't happen to like wasting my time backing someone who will *NOT* win in November. Again Republicans have been there and done that in both recent POTUS elections.


Once again the polls (which were remarkably accurate in 2008 and 2012) are showing the democratic presumed nominee (the Clinton woman) crushing the republican. HC is up around 71% depending upon which poll and give or take a few points over Trump.


It will and has been for the past several election cycles for anyone to win POTUS without a sizable Latino/Hispanic vote and right now that group is fleeing from Trump in droves.


Again just as in 2008 republicans are letting their mouths write checks their butts cannot cash. It was a few well chosen words by several members of that part in the run up to 2008 elections that turned out a huge liberal/democratic/single white female and others who wanted to teach the GOP a lesson. And they did; an election that should have been handed to the GOP on a sliver platter saw Obama re-elected.


While still early days as things stand now if Trump is nominated Clinton (or if by some miracle Sanders is nominated) wins by default, end of story.


Donald Trump has little to lose by "losing". He is not a career politician and makes his money mostly these days from being a braggart and merchandising his name. A loss in November will do him no great harm socially, politically or in the business world. OTOH the GOP name will be further hastened to one of execration for decades to come.

HE DOESN'T HAVE A BASE, HE'S NOT A CAREER POLITICIAN... THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING AND THEY ARE CROSSING PARTIES TO VOTE REPUBLICAN.
WAKE UP!
TRUMP IS A WINNER.
PERIOD!
No, Democrats are not supporting Trump. In open primary states some voted as Republicans but I can just about guarantee you that was part of a strategy, not some desire to elect Trump. Most non republican women can't stand Trump and even among republican women he has a 19 point gender gap , he has virtually no support from ethnic minorities, and like it or not his base is angry white males who feel they got the short end of the stick and will believe any bozo who comes along and promises to return them to the "good old days" of American circa 1950

PS quit shouting

Trump is a winner.

America loves a winner.

He is winning. Vote for Trump because he's a winner, will never accept defeat because he won't allow himself to lose EVER!

End of story.

You do know a LOT of his business ventures went BANKRUPT right?

You are yet another scared little sheep that is believing his little rants.

He has NO plan other than this magical wall that will keep out all of "those" people.

Middle Class taxes would go through the roof to pay for tax CUTS for him and his rich friends.

He talks of the wall for the sheep that feel "those people" need to kept out because they are taking all the jobs and causing all the crime.

I have said it before, NEITHER party really wants to keep the cheap labor out.
