those people, Clinton, Sanders on one side and Trump, Cruz, Rubio and others on the other throw mud at each other and then act like they're sweethearts and support the winner of their party anyway

Good for him with these GE elections, but every time I see him ahead I look at the electoral map and fail to see how he could possibly win the presidency.
Oh and the same ABC poll has Hillary up by +14 over Bernie. The highest it has been in FOREVER. Let her finish one battle first.
! People out so much stock into these polls yet we don't even have two official nominees her (nor do we have two presumptive nominees). Until that happens (with a few more caveats like the VP choices, national conventions, etc) that's when aggregates of polls (not individual polls) should factor in.
She needs to focus on sewing up her nomination first which is falling in nicely
For Trump to be losing Ohio so badly despite his post-nominee bump...ruh roh.
For those unaware, Trump needs to flip at MINIMUM 3 (more likely 4) Obama battleground wins. If he wins OH, PA, and MI and the rest of the map stays the same, he loses.
Conversely, Clinton just needs to hold onto all of the states that have gone Dem in the past 6 elections and win at least one of FL/VA/OH/NC.
Trump, further, now has a 24-point lead over Clinton among whites who are registered to vote, up from 9 points in March. Clinton’s backed by seven in 10 racial and ethnic minorities, the single most critical Democratic support group. (Obama lost whites by 20 points in 2012, yet won re-election in an electoral college landslide.)
Quote:
The continued Democratic primary race appears to be sapping some of Clinton’s strength. She’s losing 20 percent of Bernie Sanders’ supporters to Trump
And there you have it folks. All she has to do it get the Obama coalition (minority votes) again and get Bernie to unite the party and she should be good. And continue to push policies and not fight Trump because she's winning with temperament and presidential aspects. I think she'll be fine. Can we just get through the primary first? The Obamas haven't even gone out yet to fight for their legacy. (His approval rating is stationed around an amazing 50-55 for months now)
Question: Why would any racial minority vote for Trump? I'd love to see the average incomes of the ethnic minorities supporting Clinton and the ethnic minorities supporting Trump.
I'm seriously starting to doubt Bernie would help her win the presidency in the GE.
I disagree. I do think there will be terms he wants met, and Hillary the generous party uniter she is will give it to him.
1) Try to get states to have open or mixed contests
2) Get rid of super delegates or at least have them vote proportionally
3) A compromise of policies. For example, she may finally come out against any bad trade deal. But if he is expecting her to say free college then he is delusional for sure.
Question: Why would any racial minority vote for Trump? I'd love to see the average incomes of the ethnic minorities supporting Clinton and the ethnic minorities supporting Trump.
Some of these polls will underestimate minority supoort because of the undecideds. I believe the NBC poll has Clinton with 77% black support to Trump's 8. Uhhh...no.
Question: Why would any racial minority vote for Trump? I'd love to see the average incomes of the ethnic minorities supporting Clinton and the ethnic minorities supporting Trump.
It's perplexing, isn't it? I know a lot of disgruntled, working class White voters are supporting Trump because they feel the American political system and the Republican establishment have failed them and ignored their issues. I guess it could be the same for some minorities.
I'm not sure why anyone is supporting a reckless blow-hard for President who has never been elected to a public office and doesn't know anything about domestic and foreign policy. I was listening to a podcast recently about Trump supporters. It's really scary how many of them ignore all the crazy statements he's made and tell themselves he doesn't really mean what he says when his words provide the only glimpse into what a Trump presidency would be like at all..
Well Republicans altogether aren't intellectually inclined imo. So black, Hispanic, or white it doesn't matter.
But in all honesty, the only black Republican I can think of are those people who were once poor or witnessed poverty around them and had a troubled life and does whatever it can to forget their struggles. They are basically those "bougie" or as some would say "trying to be white" individuals.
