Do we realize that since 92'

only once was has a republican got more votes than a Dem in a prez election, that was 04' and we know there was fraud in that election, a few campaign election workers in Ohio went to jail, for messing with the recount
The demographics have switched in our favor, it would take a record low turnout for trump to win,

out of the elections fed up with the establishment of both parties and now they come out to get real change. What is there something like only 50% or so that actually bother to vote.

who had a report that said there is not enough white voters to make up the 5 million votes that Obama beat Romney by
2012 72% of the electorate was whitemthis time around it is only going to be 69%, The Latino vote is going to increase and the Latino vote will be larger for Clinton than it was for Obama, the key is getting our base out and every time rump opens his mouth it will help the GOTV

the situation was reversed with Republicans and Democrats; and Republicans never thought Democrats would take the suburbs away from them permanently, their own "demographic firewall."

This continue, until they don't. Take nothing for granted.

11. Trump can't win

There are not that enough racist white people now. GOTV of everyone else is all we need. The media will blow enough hot air to get attention and try to influence things. I'm sure they want Trump because they think if he were in the office, they'd get attention 24/7 and have plenty to "report."
