8. Okay, I get the math, but you still have to

pay attention to the larger picture.

It looks like latinos make up a full 10% of the electorate. So if the other 90% of the electorate breaks very strongly for the Republican nominee, the Democrat could still lose.

In addition, Republicans have worked very hard and with astonishing success to limit the franchise in many states. They're doing their best to keep those most likely to vote for a Democrat from being able to vote at all.

I just want everyone to understand that no matter who the respective nominees are, we can't assume we'll coast to victory some fifteen months from now.

9. TRUE!!! We cannot take ANYTHING for granted.

Especially since there's too much that we're up against.

11. thanks for the bigger picture, Sheila

We need to work hard for our Dem candidates, not just the presidential one

10. good! trump should be encouraged to destroy g.o.p.

don't attack him encourage him! his job is to destroy republican party. good government liberals should stop trying to protect the republican party!

12. I think his plan is to deport ALL the Hispanics before next years general election

Thereby ensuring that they can't vote. Nah another republican who doesn't get the whole thinking thing.

14. George was the last Republican to steal the Presidency. At least we hope so.

No way did Bush win the Presidency. Let's not give him undue credit. It is important to keep the historical record accurate.

15. Maybe Donald Chump should address BLM

Oh wait. He already did. By insulting O'Malley:

"Appearing on Fox News over the weekend, Donald Trump admitted to being completely ignorant about the Black Lives Matter movement. “I know nothing about it,” the billionaire real estate developer said.

Of course, his lack of knowledge didn’t prevent him from harshly criticizing the effort. Trump said that he’s “seeing lot of bad stuff about it right now.” He said Martin O’Malley, a contender for the Democratic nomination, was a “disgusting little weak pathetic baby” for apologizing to Black Lives Matter activists earlier this year."

I fail to see how he's going to be POTUS with only inbreds voting for him.

18. -51%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

21. Bush II had the election stolen for him...

...as others have pointed out.

By using the word, "win," EarlG, you convey some legitimacy to what happened, so I suggest you avoid this word in the future in connection with Chimpy.
