At any rate I do not see African American and Latino voters sitting home after the horrible and dangerous racist things Trump has said.

Nor do I see left leaning LGBT sitting home, as Mike Pence is at the top of of his VP shortlist. Even if Trump does not ultimately pick him, this totally undercuts his claim that he's a friend of LGBT.

Additionally I'm sure you've seen the Pew poll that indicates 85% of Sanders primary supporters say they will vote for HRC in the general election. I don't know the breakdown, but I think I can ass-ume many of those are left-leaning independents.

As to sane Republicans, although this is anecdotal, my Republican neighbors voted for Obama to keep Sarah Palin out of the White House. They felt she was far too dangerous to be a heart-beat away from the presidency. As Trump is basically Sarah Palin in a Chinese manufactured suit, they are thinking the same thing.

Have a great Monday!

"Accurate information"? The poll talks about "the FBI's decision not to charge Clinton". Is that.. George II Jul 2016 #21
