Trump and voting reality

Donald Trump will never be president of the United States.

Most Hispanics (excluding Cubans) will not vote for him.

Most Black people will not vote for him.

Most women will not vote for him.

Most Non-orthodox Jews will not vote for him.

Most Sane people will not vote for him.

I don't believe there enough people who will vote for him to make him Prez.

2. The problem with the primary is the GOP contains little or none of those groups

Trump doesn't expand much out of the crackpot segment of the Republican base.

4. That is a valid point but this isn't your father's America anymore.

I think the racist Democrats that have emerged in our Party since the '68 purge will cross over and vote for Trump. Then there's the Sanders problem. At best, a significant amount of Sanders supporters have made it clear that they will not vote for Hillary and will continue to attack her right up to the election. At worst, many Sanders supporters will vote for Trump in an effort to deny Hillary the presidency. This has morphed into blind hatred and not policy IMO. Foreclosing any chance of a Trump victory seems a little too brash and cavalier IMO.

3. You may be underestimating the insane white man vote.

Keeping in mind that a large percentage of should-be-eligible voters don't vote, for one reason or another.

While insane white Trump supporters most likely will.
