      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.

      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.

      14. Latinos typically vote in lower percentages than blacks and whites. But Trump as candidate will mobilize Latinos as never before.

          15. Also, Trump getting 63% of white vote means getting 60% plus of white women. His misogyny has barely been a campaign issue.

          16. If you look at GOP race, Trump has not been attacked on racism & sexism. He has been attacked for "not being a conservative"
