Romney had shit for turn-out. There's no comparison. Trump has fired up the base and has amassed the most votes in Republican history AND that was accomplished with 17 candidates in the race. Be afraid....be very afraid.....believe me
With all due respect, comparisons to the previous republican nominee to the current nominee are indeed valid .. particularly when the current nominee is almost excusively dependent on only one segment of the population as Trump is. White voters.
Here's the REAL problem for Trump ..
Donald Trump's Real Problem Is With White People
excerpt
But how can it be, that Trump has a white people problem? Isn't he supposed to be the candidate who appeals squarely to whites?
Let's take a look at the polling. What it shows is that Trump is underperforming with whites compared with Mitt Romney's performance in 2012:
White women: Romney won white women by 14 points — 56-42 percent, according to national exit polls.
Trump, in the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released this month, is down a point with the group, 43-42 percent.
That's a 15-point shift. No Republican can afford that.
White men: Romney won white men by a huge margin — 27 points (62-35 percent).
Trump is supposed to drive up the score with white men. But, according to NBC/WSJ, he's only up 13 points (49-36 percent), far less than Romney.
And, let's remember, Romney lost in an electoral landslide to President Obama.
A big problem for Trump is when education is factored in. He is struggling to win the margins he needs with whites with college degrees. Just look at this chart of Trump's massive deficit with white women with college degrees:
What's stunning about this is that Democrats have never won a majority of white voters with college degrees since exit polling began in 1976.
And when it comes to white voters without a college degree, even here Trump is only doing about as well as Romney did. Romney won 61 percent of whites without a college degree. Trump, in the latest, CNN/ORC poll, gets the support of 59 percent.
Donald Trump's Real Problem Is With White People
The problem for your side is that neither Trump nor his issues are as popular as his followers think they are. You think all white people are on your side .. NO, they aren't. I think you fail to acknowledge the growing divide between educated whites and less educated whites.
Factor in that on top of Trump's problems with white people, he's down 50 points with Hispanics, down 80 points with blacks, down with Jews, down with Asians, down, down, AND, down with white men in comparison to Romney.
Trump supporters have deluded themselves into believing whatever it is they want to believe irrespective of truth, facts, and evidence.
You're applying "old" reasoning and stats. The polls you cite as are sampled so skewed that they aren't even accurate. Whenever you find yourself throwing out stats and percentages and whites and blacks and latino's just know you've ventured into the BS zone.
Trump has something that cannot be measured or broken down into stats. His massive support across the US consists of voters who haven't voted in years, Dems, Repubs, independents (every race, color, and creed.)
Here's something else. Democrats are NOT voting like they did in 2012. Clinton is so flawed and corrupt that they stayed home and didn't vote in the primaries. I think it was down 20 points while Republicans flooded the 'voting booths'.
Dems need 2102 Obama turnout to defeat Trump and that's just not going to happen. Her rallies are empty and Kaines are small gatherings. No enthusiasm at all for either of them. She won't be able to get the masses of people to vote for her, just won't happen. Didn't happen in the primaries won't happen in the general. People don't vote against, people go out and vote for. That is what's going to kill her.
