Why is Trump losing Idaho, he's ahead there! Hawaii is a very blue state with few electoral votes. However Michigan can be swung back to the Republicans, and if Trump wins there as forecasted he has a real argument to be the best man to defeat Clinton.
Michigan, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virgina will decide this election! Trump already won Virgina among the Republicans. The Republicans likely need to win 4 of these states to defeat Clinton with Ohio and Florida being must haves.

I just don't see that at all. Trump will easily beat her in Florida and Ohio. He will probably win Virginia and Michigan as well. I can even see him winning PA. Polls there had him beating Hillary previously. Not sure where they stand now.If Trump is the nominee he will lose all of those states except possibly Florida, to Hillary. Write it down.
Obama's saving of the auto industry and the Repub Governor screw up of the Flint water will
easily put Michigan in Dems column in general election.
If Trump is the nominee, barring an independent run by a republican, he will win... The republican hate for Hillary is absurd, and while the hardcore Dems hate Trump, there are huge patches of moderates who like him... I see polls that put Trump as a loser, but I see formulated projections that always show him as an easy winner.If Trump is the nominee he will lose all of those states except possibly Florida, to Hillary.

Also Jindal so screwed up Louisiana, that it wouldn't surprise me if Hillary took that in
general election.

People have to remember having a president that was hated by one side coming off of two terms tends to have an apathy effect on the president's own party and a high turnout by the opposition... it also leads to candidates who voters wouldn’t have usually backed getting votes… EVEN AFTER THE PEOPLE SAY THEY WOULDN’T VOTE FOR THEM…
Remember Obama’s first run… its often ignored that there is a high percentage of rather racist democrats… and if you don’t believe me stop by southern Pittsburgh and I will introduce you to many. I heard plenty of remarks about how they wouldn’t vote for him when they hoped Hilary would be the candidate last time, but they did when push came to shove because they hated the Bush regime ever more so than their personal biases….
McCain wasn’t hated by Dems either… he was a Moderate in every sense of the word… Hillary is HATED by republicans, and while the anti trump statement is strong now, the lemmings will vote against her en mass come election day. If they don’t have an output except Trump, he will get their votes.
Many if not most of The Bern-Star voters, on the other hand, will likely go the apathetic route and not turn out. Trump may very well get the hardcore anti-establishment sect of that vote too.
There are other factors too: Trump polls better with union workers than Hillary. They are terrified of that particular attraction.
I just think when you look big picture, there is way more of a concern that trump follows Obama than the dems are letting on… if they believed he was a non threat to actually win, they would never ever be attacking all at once on him.

Trump appeals strongly to a very small group of voters...1/3 of a Republican party which makes up only 23% of the electorate. Dems hate him. Independents hate him. Women hate him. Blacks and Hispanics hate him. He is wildly popular among angry middle aged Republican white guys. If we learned nothing from the Romney debacle it's that we can't win elections that way. It's certainly not going to win him purple states like Virginia, PA and Ohio.
this is blatently false. I travel the US. the cross sectional appeal of a celebrity businessman is far far stronger than people are led to believe. Hardcore democrats wont get it like the Hardcore republicans didnt when Obama ran. the guy who runs as a Republican is getting 99% of the republican vote whether they like him or not. The vast majority of the democrats wont vote this year... thats what the apathy year does for a party in control of the presidency, and the middle of the democrat party doesnt hate trump nearly as much as CNN or Fox would have one believe. there Are poeple who focus on the fiscal matters, and they think he is a good thing... there are those who really feel he is going to swing very liberal once he has the nomination, there are those who want to blow up the process and he seems like a great way to do that... and there are people from both side who really think his extremist rhetoric are a great idea......
I think he is being vastly undersold as a threat here. and thats before the realization that once hillary gets to the national campaign Trump is going to bring up the dozen or so things she has done, even back to Vince foster and Whitewater and probably bring voter apathy for her to an all time high..
I think Spike's feeling he will roll is far closer to the truth if the republicans dont do something drastic to stop him.
the thing is Hillary isnt going to inspire voters at this point... she is a retread with skeletons in her closet. Trump is getting the extremist votes, and the republican votes, and the celebrity worshippers, and the millions who hate immigration, and thats a way bigger sect than we care to imagine, and then we have the issue that hillary's poll numbers have always been near 0 for protection vs terrorism, and there is a great underlying fear about that...
Then factor in the millions of gun owners who are democrats... bernie is making her run far more left than she wants to in this thing... she has just made comment further left than any frontrunner on gun control...
We'll just have to wait and see. If a guy who is strongly disliked by 2/3 of the population can win the general election I'll come back here and gladly eat my words. But I think some of you are in for a huge letdown if he is the nominee.
How does getting cheaper parts thru cheaper labor overseas hurt the US auto industry? Businesses
have to do what keeps them competitive in a globalized economy. If Trump was ever elected President
he would destroy our economy. You either participate in the future or go out of business. The world
isn't going to follow as the US goes backwards.
is this why Trump's clothing line is being dragged through the mud?
