The only part of that infographic that was wrong was the 2nd amendment part. I'm pretty sure that Sanders hates the idea of anyone except the government and criminals having guns, just like every other Democrat.

You haven't been paying much attention, have you? Sanders is actually much more pro-guns than Trump.

Logan Mohtashami says

The only way the Republicans can win the Whitehouse is that if at least 17% of Sanders people don't vote at all in the General, then at least it's a same lever playing field.

What Bernie Sanders has done is rip the moderate Democrat thesis that the really cult like Sanders follow will feel like they can't ever vote Democrat again

Most people who rank Sanders number 1 have Trump ranked number 5 out of the remaining candidates. Those who have Sanders ranked number 1 and Trump ranked number 2 are at best 20% of Sanders's supporters. For those who disagree and live in SFBA, come down to Santa Cruz over the weekend and take a look around you.

By the way, the Sanders high tax high spend model of social democracy is inevitable and will take hold in a couple of generations if people continue to be burdened by high student loans combined with inability to find jobs that allow for normal self sufficiency. Trump will never capitalize on this angst because simply speaking people with financial difficulties will not trust the king of "You're fired."

Not true! So stop saying that!

Trump's beliefs are so much more important than his behavior. He loves me - wants to give me a fair shake. I can see deep into his heart, where there is only purity and goodness.

He only fires Mexicans, and he is not a hypocrite for hiring them, either, so stop saying that.

dublin hillz says

burdened by high student loans

70% of student loan debt is under 14K
3% is over 100K

Don't worry about the educated Americans in this country, they will be fine

Now 30% of Student loan debt are held by college drop outs that makes up the majority of the loans that are delinquent, that group is your trouble group

The rest are fine

Only legit change for Trump is Bernie... #FeelTheBern

Where is the data coming from Logan?

Preditwise betting site they do this for a lot things

As always look for the gap to narrow and narrow closer to election but breakdown the demographic map and electoral map for the White House and know this race is a very big problem for Trump....

Unless Bernie Sanders comes to the rescue... That's

the TRUMP CARD ... pun very intended... Bernie Sanders is the best thing going for Trump in an general election ... primaries have a gap off 100 million voters so it's not such a big deal for obvious reasons.

However, the Republicans have lost 5 out of the 6 popular vote for a reason and that is with a decent demographic profile...

If it wasn't For Nader

Daddy Bush might have been the last Republican President we have seen in 50 years

I am looking for Clinton to pick Castro as a V.P.

He will be groomed for 2024

But I expect Bernie of course to run against Clinton in 2020... the economic cycle is long the tooth, not sure about now until 2020...

Castro in 2024 and 2028 will have the best demographic profile for a democratic presidential candidate in a long time

The Second Amendment doesn't mention guns. It's about arms. Do you believe in the Second Amendment?

Disagree with a few of the checks and x's,

I had to give Trump the benefit of a doubt on a few issues. He has no actual political history to confirm or deny what he says his beliefs are.

Why wouldn't Bernie supporters go to Trump?

They're the two candidates who have accomplished the least in government, and can make all sorts of promises as to what they will do without getting into budgetary specifics. They're both pure, because they haven't yet tried to get anything done in Washington, and weren't planning to anyway - they're both shocked to have gotten this far.

Like that cool uncle who tells you it's okay to make Vodka floats and build a bonfire in the living room.

Bill seems to be out of the picture most of the time. Hillary must have him on a tight leash.

look at hydro sitting in a big clinton wetspot. Give it a rest, puke

Bill stays out of the spotlight, for the same reason Hillary does. They both project a negative image. The best thing that ever happened to hillary, was Trump coming along to suck up all the attention. Had Hillary been the focal point for the media over the last couple months, she'd be dead in the water by now (her chances at presidency)

A little sunshine will kill off the mold in short order

Will Sanders' supporters flock to Trump?

Who is Will Sanders?

Can we get a sneak peak of how Great America is going to be with president Trump, turtledove? ;o

Who is Will Sanders?

Will Sanders is a french horn player, solo horn for the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in the 1990s, and solo horn at Bayreuth from '92 to '97 (an extremely demanding position, due to repeated performances of the Ring Cycle operas).

Here he is (on the right) doing some Beethoven:

There are also some YouTube clips of his solos on Dmitri "ApocalypseFuck" Shostakovich's 10th Symphony that are pretty badass.

I think so:

Everyone be mindful, general is much different than primary, 100 million votes more

Take a look at your first map

Homer is a great representative for a Trump voter.

7 States, it's all up to 7 States to win the White House and if Bernie voters reject Clinton, Trump is fair game to win the White House

Logan Mohtashami says

7 States, it's all up to 7 States to win the White House and if Bernie voters reject Clinton, Trump is fair game to win the White House

If it's up to those 7 states, Trump will lose for certain. His best (only) chance is to turn Pennsylvania and Michigan in addition to Ohio and Wisconsin.

He isn't winning New Mexico, Colorado, and Nevada will be a big longshot. Even Florida is going to be really tough.

November is a long way away. Between now and then, you're going to start seeing a lot of Trump supporters pushing back at the liars calling him and his supporters racists.

I think when we start treating THEM like they have been treating us. I think they will change.

I agree, November is a long way off. Trump has the whole summer and fall to expose the Hildabeast for the lying, cheating, swindling, hopeless, heartless, four flushing, back room dealing, vote selling, bribe taking, unfaithful, traitorous, murderous, sack of monkey shit that she is!
God bless America!
Holy shit!

I'm afraid Clinton is doomed.
All he has to do is start sounding serious and talk in a slightly more PC way.
Liberal democracy was always an utopia. Humanity was born out of tribalism and will always gravitate back to it.

PA could be in play if Sanders voters go Anti Hillary

If Bernie Supporters go Full Hilary and Anti Trump Republican don't vote

8 Million plus for Clinton

In short, the only way Trump wins General is if Bernie's people go Nader on America again

who's doing the raping? who's doing the raping? we gotta build the wall to stop those drug dealing rapist mexicans!

block all the muslims!!

and its only fucking brown people calling him a racist anyways, they don't count! they are almost animals!

Be mindful that Clinton even though it's the primary has gotten most votes out anyone

Also the Establishment is Trump's best tool. They promote him with every attempt they try to vilify him. They are the last people to be vilifying anyone.

I can't help but think the media had just ignored Donald even during his campaign. The media would have had his Trump fans pissed off for the media trying to pigeonhole Trump.
But the average voter, who Trump won over, would have been buffered from it. The media made Trump's case every time they attacked him. The coordinated efforts were also very telling.
He went from low 30's to high 40's just on that alone.

The Media empire now, can't NOT do what they do, try to spread false information. They are going to bombard the American people with so much anti-Trump propaganda.
People are going to run for shelter in the direction of Trump's camp.

Oh and Senior Asshole, in Mexico is apologizing now, and want's to talk about that wall.

SANTA MONICA, California — During an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, former Mexican President Vicente Fox apologized Wednesday for the vulgar language he has used regarding GOP frontrunner Donald Trump’s proposal to build a wall along the southern border and invited the likely Republican nominee to Mexico to see the border from the other side.

Earlier this year, Fox said that he would not pay for Trump’s “f*cking wall,” and called Trump ““Ignorant … crazy … egocentric … nasty … [a] false prophet.” Trump then called on Fox to apologize

On Wednesday, he did so — in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News — and added that he wanted Trump to come to Mexico to see the border from the other side.

“I apologize. Forgiveness is one of the greatest qualities that human beings have, is the quality of a compassionate leader. You have to be humble. You have to be compassionate. You have to love thy neighbor,” Fox explained to Breitbart News while sitting in the hotel of the J.W. Marriott in Santa Monica, California on Wednesday afternoon.

True. But she was also in a two way race, unlike Trump, for most of the key part of past critical primary season.

Trump, despite being in 7, then 5, then 3 way races until yesterday after the Indiana Primary, has garnered 10.6 Million votes; Hillary 12.5 Million. If Kasich and/or Cruz dropped out in early April, when it was impossible for them to win the necessary delegates, Trump's numbers would probably be a few million higher.

I expect we'll see more SJW Hoax style news, in the vein of the Self-Punching Art Trust Fund Dilletante. But even that sort of thing is backfiring.

The Media is such a closed circle of non-ideologically diverse self-selected professionals, they think running footage of Mexicans burning US Flags or signs about making California Part of Mexico garners sympathy and support for Hillary and against Trump.

"Nobody *I* know voted for Nixon*"

Of course, the Nixon in this race is Hillary. She will ruin the Democratic brand for a decade if elected.

* In fairness this was a self-effacing comment where the lady was criticizing herself for being blindsided due to her closed circle; but when in doubt, print the legend

Isn't Fidel long in the tooth? Admittedly they are both from the same party.
