Donald Trump's Only Path to a General Election Victory

Donald Trump will have to suppress the votes of minorities and women.

His only path to victory is the repeal of the 15th and 19th amendments to the United States Constitution.

He better get started if he wants to accomplish that difficult task.

...or they steal the election through electronic vote fraud.

Otherwise, Mr. Trump doesn't stand a chance.

Of course, it helps if most of the GOP actually wants their candidate to win.

There have been quite a few prominent Republicans who are keeping their distance from the toxicity of Donald Trump.

In another post, DUer sofa king wrote, "All this Republican hand-wringing is not about what Trump is saying, it's about how he is saying it. He is speaking directly from the conservative id."

This campaign is shaping up to be one for the history books as I think there's a lot to come.

I don't think he can keep his mouth shut that long
