The Daily Beast: There Aren’t Enough White Voters for GOP Win - Trump talks about reaching Hispanics and blacks, but he’d be the most unpopular candidate with either group ever to lead a national ticket.
Over the last six presidential elections, Democrats have won 16 states every time for a total of 242 electoral votes out of the 270 needed to win. In those same six elections, Republican presidential candidates carried 13 states for 103 electoral votes. Here’s another way to look at it: The last time a Republican presidential candidate won with enough votes to be declared the winner on Election Night was 1988.

I don't buy it. Hillary is going to need every vote see can muster to defeat this guy. White men don't care much for Sect. Clinton and neither does the Youth vote ( under 30.) The Dems. should look at how well they did in the 2010 and 2012 mid-terms to get an idea of what their up against this season. The GOP will get out it's base even if they run the Devil himself. In Nov. it comes down to a tribal affair to a large degree.
I do buy it. Here's why. When a politician, a skilled politician expresses a little irritation in public like Ryan about Trump's violence and riot b.s. or like Romney on Trump et al, this is a 'where smoke there's fire' sign. Look at Obama with his very diplomatic approach with Merrick Garland, he is cool as hell on TV with the littlest signs of irritation. Do you think that in private he is that cool? I doubt it, under the surface, there is a lot of heat about that issue. Same with Trump, lots and lots of GOP conservatives are saying negative stuff on TV and if we were flies on the wall when they go off TV, we would see crazy, pure crazy anger and despair over Trump. In other words there really is a lot of GOP anti-Trump sentiment out there and it's not just in the political class, it's in the voting ranks too, big time.
