The only thing the gop has going for it is Hillary's 55% negatives. However, Clinton has been working at registering latinos for over a year, and it appears to be bearing fruit, and ironically Trump seems to be the biggest motivation for latino voter participation.It was reported last night that Trump has 30 staffers on the ground to help with the campaign.
Oh, thats not 30 people at HQ....Or 30 people in battle ground states.
I mean 30 people for all 50 fucking states![]()
Latinos Are Registering in Droves to Dump Donald Trump
And at least some of these new voters are in battleground states.
Most likely we will see low voter participation because both candidates are despicable. And, it should come down to which one can get his/her base to vote. At this point, I think Hillary's base is pretty obviously the larger.
But if Trump can get off his racist agenda, and onto concrete economic policy (beyond "I will have the best ever economy - you won't believe how good it'll be, you cannot even imagine the grandeur.") and talk about the ME failures of Obama (which fair or not Hillary will have to carry the water).... then maybe. God knows there are a lot of republicans who cringe at the thought of Hillary as potus.
But he's not going to have an easy time raising money now ... not with the stuff he's said. How does he approach a Cruz bundler after saying Cruz's father was a JFK assassin, or a Rubio bundler after the little Marco ... let alone where the real money lies - the House of Bush. And Trump is poison with libertarians like the Kochs.
ps, And I've come to the conclusion that Trump isn't just blowing smoke on Obama. He may really believe Obama is not an American and he really has terrorist ties. If so, there may be no hope he can tone down the racism.
