Spoke to a Hispanic Millennial Tonight.

Lives in the same swing state as I do. He's really into this election. HUGE Sanders fan! A fantastic person. I've known him for years. I asked him if it's Trump vs Clinton who do you think will win based on what you're hearing? Who do you think he said?

Update: I really don't like using Hispanic as a qualifier. It seems so divisive but then again Camp Clinton has driven this narrative for months.

He said Trump and no I won't explain why. Let the geniuses figure out that one. Though why they can't see that issue is a problem in today's environment boggles the mind. I was going to make a post about it one day but decided not to.

However, his parents are first generation immigrants.

It was Trump as noted above.

Yes, if she is the nominee many who have had their heads in the sand about Trumps appeal to great numbers of people across all demographic groups will be stunned.

Hillary is the worst kind of candidate to put up against him. I wont go into why again right now.

Wake up, Democratic Party!

Some people see it as Left v. Right, while others see it as Established Pols and anti-establishment.

And before the peanut gallery goes off, this means the ones who have been playing the political game (which is the same on either the Left or Right side) or saying what they mean and not playing with the kingmakers.

Trump has no one to answer to but his supporters

Bernie has no one to answer to but his supporters


All other candidates we talk about on this board....are owned by their Donors.

game over for the GOP. Hard to say what will happen at this point but I don't think Trump will be a problem.
