In the 90’s Texas Republicans chose the only Republican in the whole state who could lose to a liberal Democrat for governor, and we ended up with Anne Richards. Clayton Williams was just a disastrous candidate. He was an insult machine.

I fear we are doing the same thing with Trump. He’s going to get killed with African Americans, Hispanics, Muslims, Jews and women. I don’t think the demographics are there for him to win. IS he the only Republican in America who could lose to Hillary?

Women don't like Hillary. Quite a few are going for Sanders and won't vote for Hillary in the general. Trump won't win the black vote but he'll do a lot better with blacks than any other Republican can, I estimate he gets 25% of the black vote. Muslims are insignificant. Hispanics have numbers but they have low voter turnout. Also, they don't vote solely on immigration. Trump won't do much worse with hispanics than Romney did. The smart Jews like Trump's strong stand against Islamic terror, and his suspected social moderation doesn't hurt.

Let’s puti to this way

In the GOP primaries so far he is pulling more muslims and blacks than the other 3 candidates combined

In some cases, more Latinos too

His popular vote exceeds the other 3 candidates - and Hillary- ,by what, almost 2 million?

Go back to the state reports and do your own math
