Trump will lose. That I am confident of. No grasping at straws here, as much as you'd like to see that. You simply can't become President when women, blacks, Hispanics, etc. hate your guts. White guys hate Hillary's guts, but they don't pick Presidents anymore. It's 2016. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

True, but so far women and African Americans don't hate Trump's guts. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Yawn Its the electoral college that matters lol Bookies were warming to Trump He went as high as 2 to 1 Some still have him at 2/1 but reality is setting in for longer odds of about 9/4 Clinton still hovering at around 4/12 or 2/5 Bookies are still confident that Clinton will win I'm giddy :-) http://www.oddschecker.com/politics/us-politics/us-presidential-election-2016/winner Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

PRIMARY VOTES 10,924,682 Trump so far 2016 with big states left 10,031,336 Mitt Romney in 2012 9,902,797 John McCain in 2008 7,853,863 GW Bush no opposition in 2004 12,034,676 GW Bush in 2000 (43 states+ D.C.) 9,024,742 Bob Dole in 1996 9,199,463 GHW Bush in 1992 8,253,512 GHW Bush in 1988 6,484,987 Ronald Reagan no opposition in 1984 7,709,793 Ronald Reagan in 1980 5,529,899 Gerald Ford in 1976 5,378,704 Richard Nixon in 1972 (won all 50 states) 1968 only 12 primaries It is looking like Trump will get another million+ votes and have the highest number of votes since GOP had primaries in every state. I still consider Hillary the front runner, but these record number of primary voters make you think.If Trump can bring out voters that don't normally vote, then he might be able to close the gap in the battlefield. Obama vs Romney in 2012 Florida 50.01% to 49.13% Ohio 50.67% to 47.69% Virginia 51.16% to 47.28% Colorado 51.49% to 46.13% Pennsylvania 51.97% to 46.59% New Hampshire 51.98% to 46.40% |

On the flip side From the Washington Post In California, the number of Hispanics registering to vote doubled in the first three months of this year compared with the same period in 2012, according to state data. In Texas, naturalization ceremonies in Houston have swelled to about 2,200 per month, compared with 1,200 before, according to an analysis by the Houston Chronicle. More than 80 percent of those naturalized then register to vote, compared with 60 percent previously. According to the most recent national statistics, more than 185,000 citizenship applications were submitted in the final three months of 2015, up 14 percent from the year before and up 8 percent compared with the same period ahead of the 2012 elections. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trumps-candidacy-sparking-a-surge-in-citizenship-voter-applications/2016/05/11/33808f34-177a-11e6-924d-838753295f9a_story.html?hpid=hp_rhp-top-table-main_latinos-3pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

"according to the online poll of 1,289 people conducted from Friday to Tuesday" Gee an online poll and that's all they got. Doesn't that number seem tiny considering its an online poll? Hmm 1289 internet poll Lets look at Florida 20 mil out of 318 mil about 6.5% of the population Out of 1289, maybe 84 from Florida participated just looking at odds These numbers are tiny and meaningless Its the electoral college baby Still giddy :-) Giddy up :-) Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

On-line polls usually favor the left, since the people more likely to reply on-line are younger and better educated. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |
