'I think the whole 'hanging chad' and tiny majority Bush won on rang the alarm bell on that one. '
Yes.
'But Trump doesn't have the black vote, Hispanic, women's vote. He doesn't even have all the Republican vote for gawd sake.'
He has got more of the black vote than the media is letting on. Trump offers jobs, which is one of the main reasons the "Stump for Trump Sisters" like him. Trumo says that 58% of African-American youth are unemployed, but the figures are disputable. But Trump will bring jobs back to Michigan, get the factories moving, build the cars in Detroit again, end the stagnation, lash corporate tax to 15% so that Aerican businesses return from abroad, from China etc and start providing jobs for Americans. Trump says that merica has been ripped off and American money built China and it was its politician puppets who did it and sold the people out and signed the free tarde deals like NAFTA which Bill Clinton signed that led to the loss of jobs, "the sucking sound" that Ross Perot, the early billionaire populist warned about in the 1990s.
People need good paying jobs, skilled employment so that communities can thrive and crime can decrease and hope can return. That is why Trump will get more black voters than Romney or McCain got.
I am not sure about the Hispanic vote, but lots of Cubans in Florida do like Trump.
But what Trump really needs is to increase the white vote because a lot of the white voters voted for Obama rather than Romney and many evangelicals stayed away.
An evangelical on TV said that the evangelical vote makes up 27% of the entire vote, more than some other communities combined.
The media is doing the only thing they can to stop Trump, calling him a racist, sexist bully hoping that the college educated white vote will turn away from him.
If Trump can increase the white vote and increase the black vote over what Romney got in the rust belt states, then he stands a good chance of winning.
