Also there's more Hispanics who would be in favor of stricter immigration laws (oftentimes Cubans, a group that used to set the gold standard for ladder kicking but not so much anymore) than there are blacks who literally want to return to 1950.

Everything's fine guys. Trump actually leads Clinton! https://inquir.io/2016/08/05/donald-trump-leading-new-polls/#.V6PNMGW8tEw "For clarification, LongRoom conducts their polls a bit differently than traditional polling places, they compensate for the over sampling of Democrats and Republicans and use accurate representations of area demographics to skew the results in a more unbiased manner." Oh.

He has never really done any outreach to the minority voting blocks. What makes matters worse for his PR is that he never gave/donated anything to the minority groups. Trump status/credibility is mud.

Birtherism is definitely the biggest factor, but Kaine will be reminding us of Trump's hateful landlord work soon - he was on it today. But think about birtherism, and Trump's idea that a black man like Obama could never be considered truly American.

gay picnic defence posted:Can they remove Trump at this point? Are there still enough true believers that dumping him would be political suicide for the GOP? They dump him now and his supporters have all the evidence in the world that the Republicans sabotaged Trump, because if they do dump him, they did. This makes Trump and Trump alike's an issue in the next couple of elections as well, as they will not have been defeated handily. Issue is of course, that even if Trump loses, he is already laying the groundwork for excuses, from fixing from his opponents to a lack of support from his supposed allies. So maybe a loss, even a big one doesn't kill the alt right as a Republican King Maker. The math problem is whether keeping him on drags them all down the pit with him or whether they can manage to avoid being tainted in the next few cycles by his time as their face. Pick your poison I guess?

There is no mechanism I'm aware of to withdraw the nomination. They'd have to recall the convention, pass a bunch of new rules, and proceed from there. Then they'd have to come up with an alternate candidate, and no one is going to want the job. The RNC can act if Trump withdraws, without the full convention, but we're already past some states' deadlines for ballot printing. Thus they could dump him in principle, but in reality they can't.

He acted like he didn't know who David Duke was in that one interview, I think that was big. Retweeting alt-righters as well but Duke is literal KKK and he just acted really annoyed when they asked him to to disavow his support. I don't think there are too many blacks willing to overlook that.

One thing Trump can do that can possibly make him credible in the polling is to spend cash. He is not doing the one thing that can help him, is to spend on lobbying, outreach and or just anything really. Maybe he is just pulling some sort of boxing trick and waiting it out till next month till he makes his moves?

At this point it is looking like they are going to lose big with or without him and one of those options gives them a slightly plausible way to save face. I can see Trump suddenly having "health issues" and having to withdraw or something.

If you just told me this without numbers or a graphic I'd say "yeah, I'll buy that", but seeing it quantified like this it takes me a moment to wrap my head around it.

They could just withdraw their endorsements and tell everybody to vote for Johnson as President and the Republicans down ballot, but at this point every Republican that hasn't yet withdrawn their endorsement have already shown that they're huge unprincipled cowards so what's the point.

Well he's already announced he might form SuperPACs to go after Cruz, Kasich, and other Republicans that didn't endorse him, so I guess that's a possibility.

I don't doubt the Clinton campaign can remind people of how much Trump hates black people. But even before they have we see polls like this. I'm white but if I had to guess as to why this is the case I would assume a lot of black voters realize that racism directed against other races is still just as bad.

Plus Trump has seemingly elevated ambient racism in his followers and online and in the general political conversation and moved the Overton window so that we hear a lot more dumb poo poo like that Nehlen weirdo wanting to deport all Muslims.

So I've only been following the Trump twitter account closely since the RNC, but it seems to me that his twitter has been reined in by someone the past 24 hours. He's only posted positive notes of thanks. Is that normal for him to take a break like this or is it a sign of a possible change?
