In reply to the discussion: U.K. Independant: Donald Trump will win the presidency by a landslide (against Hillary) [View all]Andy823
(11,555 posts)First off there has already been talk about how Trump is NOT bringing in first time voters. He makes that claim, but like a lot of other claims, it's just another lie. The reason so many people turned out for republican primaries is that so many republicans can't stand Trump and they came out in droves to vote for the other candidates. Sure he has a lot of new "racists", KKK types, and tea baggers coming to his rallies and voting for him, but most of these people have always came out to vote for the republican no matter what.
The other thing is Trump will implode between the time he gets the official nomination, and the election. He can't keep his mouth shut, and he will alienate even more people between now and then. Many republicans just won't vote period, and others who have been against him all along, will vote for Hillary, and not tell anyone, especially women.
Trump can't win the Latino vote, the AA vote, the Asian vote, the women's vote, and he can't win the vote of anyone who is sane enough to know just how terrible he would be as President.
