(53,771 posts)There is so much damaging videos of Trump hating on Latinos, women, blacks, gays, handicapped just about everybody but angry whites.
There are not enough angry whites to offset the groups who will vote blue, including some independents who are not a monolith and come in all stripes from right-leaning conservative independents to moderates to left-leaning progressive independents.
Hillary will get her share of the latter two and Trump will get his share.
I'm betting the moderates to left-leaning progressive independents in the end won't vote to allow Trump to appoint the next 3 SCOTUS justices as that would assure a huge,rightward, generational shift of the whole country (gutting of the social safety net (Social Security gone, Medicare and Medicaid gone, pensions raided, the rest of unions gone), gutting of the rest of the civil rights acts of the 60s, deregulation of banking and environmental legislation (thinf Flint, MI everywhere) in other words, we'd all get screwed with no possibility of change for generations.
And of course the Obama coalition will not be voting for Trump sensible progressive whites who don't want Trump appointing the next 3 SCOTUS justices, Latino Americans, African Americans, women, gays, Asian Americans, Native Americans, and sensible, left-leaning and moderate independents collectively these demographic segments are who mostly voted for and elected President Obama twice, and will also elect the Dem nominee to the presidency most likely Clinton.
Notice pls that they are a very diverse group, not the angry whites and/or racist whites who support Trump, and we outnumber them.
These groups will stand in line for hours to vote, just as they did in 2012 to overcome repug vote suppression crap so you can stop praying for a Trump win.
Hillary will kick his no-knowledge-of-policy-butt in the debates, just as she did those repug clowns for 11 straight hours at the last Benghazi hearings.
Trump will lose spectacularly. Even prominent repugs are deserting ship.
