Grandpa Trump built his restaurants on land that he did not own.

the people want CHANGE, and the Democrats and their party must recognize that and provide a CHANGE CANDIDATE. If they/we don't, tramp's chances improve.

The voting demographics are different from 2004, so maybe, just maybe he won't get elected.

Unfortunately, even without Kansas- and Wisconsin-style voter suppression, we've got a LOT of lazy-@$$, politically-immature young voters who don't realize than even having Hillary in the White House is better than giving the Donald and the Rethugs carte Blanche to ruin the country and leave a horrible future to our posterity.

They will carry him the whole way unless we nominate Bernie. Why? Because we can beat the media via the internet.

What about H and the internet? Just look at the lame bs from H camp here to see she doesn't have the internet and never will.

The talking heads tout his(T) numbers with whites
but down play HRCs numbers with Latinos.
I thought you couldn't win with less that 40% of Latinos.
Also I believe if its close the electoral college results could take it away from Trump just like it did Gore in 2000.

I would say the opposite

say, a whole bunch of new voters register in California, and the Dems win the state by over 40 points.

That's over 4% in the national numbers and the electoral college doesn't change a bit.

That is their "guarentee win" number. There's probably half a dozen Electoral College combos that require little Hispanic market penetration--mostly involving the Great Lake states, solidify the holes in the Solid South, or breaking into the Dems' "Atlantic Wall" in New England.

"We've got to throw out the book, captain, take the fight to the criminal scum, play dirty pool if we're gonna beat these evil terrorists at their own game. The stakes are high. Apocalypse is nigh! The world is ending and only a big explosion can save us!"

When you're a Republican, life is a movie and the hero is always John Wayne. That's why they love torture so much. It's what Batman would do.

And the idiots who keep talking about a landslide against him need the shit slapped out of them repeatedly.
Democrats have decided to run an establishment candidate with high negatives in a year where people are pissed and looking to outsiders. Not smart and potentially disastrous.

And with demographics far whiter and less well educated than 12 or 32 years later?
