http://time.com/4237092/clinton-trump-hispanic-vote-poll/We're talking by 57 points. Trump's numbers among Hispanics, already lousy, have only gone down since he announced; I don't see any way he can come back.

Even repubs don't like him, he has a 52% unfavorable rating vs a 34% favorable among them, lol.
Hillary has an 80% favorable among Democrats.

(58,785 posts)those who look for religion in their candidates as a lifelong Methodist, i.e., sincerely religious. Large numbers of Hispanics, blacks, other minorities, and of course conservatives are religious and this matters a lot to them.
When people wonder why Hillary is so well liked, or maybe just can't believe how Bernie could lose to her, for certain blocks this is a big factor.

(50,346 posts)one more plus for her.

(58,785 posts)Not so much for me. Although I understand that religious principles help many good people live genuinely good lives, I have a major, major problem with her willingness to fund religious teaching with taxpayer dollars. Zero tolerance for that one.

(3,261 posts)It will be extremely difficult for the GOP to win a Presidential election. In order to do so, they need to make major inroads with Latino voters and even that is not enough (see Bush's selection of 2000). But even in order to get close enough to steal an election, they will need to do much better than their last two nominees have managed. This is part of the reason why 100million+ was spent on Jeb! Donald Trump cannot beat be a Democratic presidential nominee. Not possible. Not Sanders. Not Clinton. He has boxed himself in. If he tries to backpedal, he will lose his current supporters.

(6,342 posts)There is an enthusiasm gap. Are the voters who came out in force for Obama in 2008 going to show up at the polls for Hillary in November? So far this primary season, they have not. And it's a concern.
