      2. My position, since last fall, is Trump has a shot at the GOP nomination but won't be president, barring an unforeseen catastrophe.

      3. Reason Trump won't be president is he's massively polorizing figure even with the GOP, and much more outside the GOP.

      4. Trump has a strong base inside GOP that will follow him to their death, but also many who can't stand him.

      5. To put it in specific terms: if Trump is nominee, could two living GOP presidents George H.W. Bush & George W. Bush vote for him?

      6. There will be a chunk of GOP electorate who think Trump is unfit to be president. They might not vote for Clinton but could stay home.

      7. That Huffington Post article speculates Trump would win states in upper mid-west: 2 states GOP hasn't won since 1988, 1 since 1984.

      8. The broader national demographics are this; every presidential election the electorate is 2 percentage points less white than before.

      9. Romney in 2012 got 59% of the white vote and lost. So Trump would need to make up both the loss & increase in non-white vote: say, 63%

      10. So Trump would need to win a Reagan 1984 style landslide among whites, but is a much more polorizing figure than Reagan.

      11. Trump fans like to think he won't need 63% or more of white vote because they think he can chip off black voters from Dem. A fantasy.

      12. Idea that Trump can win over black voters ignores fact he's an Obama birther & Obama is around to remind black voters of that.

          @HeerJeet Yup, Obama not yet campaigning for the Dems. When that happens it pushes Dem numbers no matter the candidate.

          13. Aside from being an Obama birther, Trump called for the execution of 5 black men (Central Park 5) for crime they did not commit.

          @HeerJeet If it comes down to Trump vs Clinton, many voters will have to decide between 2 original birthers.

          @ua_pragmatist You will be shocked by how much black people hate someone with a long history of anti-black racism.

          @HeerJeet do they really think blacks will vote Trump? Or just not vote, now that there's no black Dem candidate?

          @camilleregan Trumpites genuinely believe Trump will get 20% of the black vote. Strange but true!
