      27. Trust me on this: guys like Trump psychologically implode when women laugh at them. Wouldn't be hard to find Democratic women to do that

      28. Finally there is argument that Trump will pivot to the center & thus win voters he's currently unpopular with. He'll try but won't work

      29. A pivot to the center would only work if there weren't many videos of Trump denigrating immigrants, women, and out right lying.

      30. Trump's problem is he's too memorable, too colorful, to pivot. Once you hear his Mexican rapists comments you don't forget it.

      31. To put Trump's general elections prospect another way, think about difference between South Carolina GOP electorate & USA population

      32. Trump won in South Carolina. State is 63% white. But GOP electorate was 96% white. So electorate wildly unrepresentative

      33. Because South Carolina GOP electorate is 96% white, there was no incentive for rival candidates to challenge Trump on racism.

      34. In general election, Trump will not face an electorate that is 96% white. USA is 62% white, electorate will be maybe 70% white.

      35. So all the things that allowed Trump to win a plurality of a very white electorate will suddenly turn off 30% voters (at minimum).

      36. Of course, saying he turns off 30% doesn't factor in many whites who are anti-racists who will also be turned off.

      37. Trump speaks for a plurality of the GOP, but not America as a whole. He will never be president.

          @HeerJeet All very good. Agree. But he can and will tear the GOP apart, which could have unforeseen pol consequences. That's tomorrow's col.

          @HeerJeet Hope I'm wrong but are you underestimating effect of Republicans' voter ID laws & evisceration of voting rights act

          @HeerJeet But the HuffPost article you started with seemed to show that GOP nominee could do it by winning key non-representative states.

          @HeerJeet Which is why I'm changing parties simply to vote for him in the primary. He'll be the end of the GOP as we know it.

          @HeerJeet If T got 10% of white men who voted for O in FL, OH, and either IA or NH he'd win. GOPers would hold their noses & vote for him.

          @HeerJeet If GOP support is steady I don't see him losing a state won by Romney.
