Donald Trump Needs 7 of 10 White Guys If Trump wins the GOP nomination, he will be testing the limits of a strategy that has long haunted the Republican Party. Since the civil-rights era, Republicans have relied heavily on white male voters to overcome a disadvantage among minorities and some subsets of women. Mathematically, that was an easier strategy a half-century ago, when white men dominated the electorate. But as the GOP has failed to broaden its coalition and the demographics of America have shifted dramatically, an ever-greater percentage of the white male vote has been required to secure a GOP victory. If, as it appears, Trump’s opponent in the general election will be Hillary Clinton, his lane becomes even narrower. If things continue the way they’ve been going, just how much of the non-Hispanic white-guy vote would he need to win? The math suggests Trump would need a whopping 70 percent of white male voters to cast their ballots for him. That’s a larger percentage than Republicans have ever won before — more than the GOP won in the landslide victories of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, and far more than they won during the racially polarized elections of Barack Obama. -------------- -------------- Bill Clinton's Creation destroyed the Republican Party.
If anyone is interested in the goings on at Breitbart, it turns out that there is video proof that Trump's campaign manager didn't manhandle the Breitbart reporter. She made it up. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...pundit-video-of-michelle-fields-grabgatehoax/ Also, even though it is a proven hoax, Ben Shapiro is still standing by it. And it turns out that the Dailywire.com, which Shapiro is editor of, is owned or controlled by a group out of Texas that set up a 15 million dollar pac for Ted Cruz. http://northcountrydispatch.blogspot.nl/2016/03/ben-shapiro-and-anti-trump-crowd.html The really great thing about all this is, it won't hurt Trump one bit, but it's going to destroy the idiots who are acting all self righteous over this event that turned out to be a hoax and weed them out of the system for good.
My friend, there is no snow white candidate. You can sling shit at Trump, and I can do the same for Hillary and Bernie.
Now walking back his offer to pay legal expenses for the thugs assaulting protesters. The bait and switch tactic is supposed to last long enough for the customer to actually arrive at your store, no?
I saw the videos last night during the few minutes I could stand Megyn Kelly. She is treating it as almost as significant as the JFK assassination. The videos are at best totally inconclusive. The reporter and campaign manager were in close proximity for a second but he never even looked at her. She did appear to pull back but not in a violent way and she did not express alarm. She claimed bruises but they can be fakes or could have been preexisting. If it was genuine, it's hard to believe it couldn't have been resolved amicably. The reporter made claims about things said to her editor that were contradicted by emails. Then she filed a police report. Seriously? Because her feelings were hurt? Basically it is a he said/she said deal, but the fact that this reporter and Shapiro are trying so hard to exploit it raises obvious questions that it was a setup. It's hard to believe people would do stuff like that, but we seem to have examples every week of people inventing hate crimes or claiming gang rapes at fraternities in some sick attempts at gaining attention. The reporter and Shapiro didn't even try to conceal their upset that Breitbart is one of the few media outlets that is fair to Trump. They must have felt at home with Kelly. Her bias against Trump is so obvious it seems to have taken over her show. She spent another 15 minutes ranting about the Better Business rating of Trump University. It turns out Trump changed the name after the NY AG objected to calling it a University. The A rating was assigned to the successor. According to Kelly that makes Trump a "liar" and Fox totally correct. Bizarre but at least there is no need to waste viewing time on Fox anymore. They are toast, like the republican party.
Boehner backs Paul Ryan for president So a Ryan and who ticket? A Jeb/Kasich ticket could beat Hillary. The return of Romney?
