1. Missing Economic Progressives and Young People so far.

2. why yes of course NO young people or progressives are anti trump. Not ONE anywhere nt

7. That's what we would be voting for, huh? Anti-Trump? When do we vote for something?

5. 75% of people between 18 and 39 oppose Trump. Don't they count?

10. You said that young people were "missing." They're not. They're smart enough

to realize they have a huge stake in this.

3. should have a category for Thinking People

17. even- not brain dead drooling fools.

4. Why are black folks more against him than latinos?

I'm curious about the dynamic here. Clearly he's no friend to either group, but is the 91% just because black voters never vote Republican (as opposed to Latino voters who are more flexible)?

Seems like any Latino who votes for Trump has to be insane (though that could be said for any black, asian, muslim or female voter really).

6. We don't know what the margin of error is for the subgroups. It might be pretty large. IOW,

their results might be closer than it appears.

14. Hispanics aren't as relatively monolithic as blacks

currently are and thus vote less as a bloc. There are over twice as many of them, and traditional culture had mostly been strongly assimilationist, at least where we lived in California in the past, not even letting the kids learn Spanish.

Like the rest of humanity, they're mostly naturally conservative or liberal, typically morphing into some mixture of both over time like everyone else. They develop their share of far left and far right extremists, and no doubt include some natural libertarians, who of course may average more conservative or liberal themselves. In other words, some are just about as likely to vote Democrat against a Republican candidate as Jim DeMint would be.

Plus, they also often identify differently as white or non-white, strongly affecting which issues each person is likely to vote with a "Hispanic bloc" on, or not.

9. The impact of Trump's endorsement by KKK and white nationalist figures may be underestimated

in its effect of African-Americans.

You are right. He does not rant about AA's like he does Mexicans, Muslims, Chinese, etc. Perhaps they see the handwriting on the wall. After walling off his current scapegoats and things get worse not better, who is next on the scapegoat list? I doubt it will be white men.

11. Here's some of what he's had to say about black people.

http://www.celebtricity.com/donald-trump-if-black-lives-dont-matter-then-go-back-to-africa/

When asked what he would do about the protests and the issue of racially-motivated violence, Trump simply stated:

“THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS RACISM ANYMORE. WE’VE HAD A BLACK PRESIDENT SO IT’S NOT A QUESTION ANYMORE. ARE THEY SAYING BLACK LIVES SHOULD MATTER MORE THAN WHITE LIVES OR ASIAN LIVES? IF BLACK LIVES MATTER, THEN GO BACK TO AFRICA? WE’LL SEE HOW MUCH THEY MATTER THERE.”

Afterwards, the normally calm and collected Oprah Winfrey, who Donald Trump said he would run beside in the election if given the opportunity, stated, “the die from that toupee must have seeped into this cracker’s brain and driven him crazy.”

12. K&R!

13. These are the people who have so much to lose under a Trump presidency.

Anyone who thinks the republicans can win without them hasn't been paying attention.

[brer cat]

15. +1

Those who have the most to lose will be highly motivated to actually vote, not just attend rallies and post memes on social media.

From an analysis by the Center for American Progress:

Women are the country’s largest voting bloc, and women of color are the fastest-growing segment of that group. When coupled with the fact that women of color make up just more than half of the emerging majority—in other words, people of color, who by 2043 will represent a majority of the country’s population—it becomes clear that this new reality points to a vastly altered political landscape, one in which women of color may wield great influence.

All indications are that republicans are not confronting this reality.

16. A lot of people aren't confronting this reality.
