... the Republican nominee needs to get at least 40% of the Hispanic vote to win the presidency. W got around 45% in 2000 and it was a close race. how much do you realistically see Trump getting? 20%? 10%?

no, instead i think what we're seeing is the Republican party devolving into the party of ultra-conservative southern racism.

if Trump walks out of the convention as the GOP nominee, we're looking at a Democratic wave election in what was supposed to be an advantage Republicans year; we could even start taking back some of those legislatures that will be so important to redistricting congressional seats 4 years from now.

Trump's playing fast and loose with fascism, and no matter how you read the tea leaves it looks dangerous as all hell right now, but i do have some hope that he's bringing about the long-overdue sundering of the Republican party, rendering them impotent for a decade.
