5 Reasons Donald Trump Could Do Better Than Predicted
The Federalist ^ | May 5, 2016 | Mollie Hemingway

Analysts predict a blowout for Hillary Clinton. Here's why they might be wrong.

Donald Trump has all but won the Republican nomination to be president of the United States. His fans have long said that he’s the candidate to beat Hillary Clinton and will do so easily. They believe, as Newt Gingrich recently said, that Trump “puts all 50 states in play.” New York candidate for U.S. Senate Wendy Long, who lost her previous campaign for the seat by more than 40 points, says that Trump won’t just get her elected, but “will lift the entire GOP ticket.” Rush Limbaugh says his “gut” is that Trump will beat Hillary in a “landslide.”

People who are less enthusiastic about Trump look at the data and predict an absolute bloodbath. They say that Republicans need to keep the married female votes they have and gain a much larger chunk of single female voters if they want to have a chance at winning the presidency. The analysts say Republicans also need to make gains with Hispanics and other minority groups. A recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll shows that 47 percent of female Republican primary voters said they would not vote for Trump and 70 percent (not a typo — 70 percent) of women voters in general have a negative view of him. Other recent polls show similar results. A nationwide Latino Decisions poll of registered Hispanic voters found 87 percent had an unfavorable view of Trump. A Washington Post/Univision poll had 8 out of 10 Latinos viewing Trump negatively.

And polls show that while Trump could put formerly predictable states in play during the general election....

You never voted because no candidate has been worthy.

Reason number one. The people doing the predicting are lying creeps with their own agenda.

I’ve voted in pretty much every single Presidential election since 1970. In all that time, I’ve never seen TWO such completely worthless candidates as actual nominees.

Trump isn’t just ‘Not a Conservative’, he isn’t even up to the level of RINO. He is a New York Liberal who happily nurtures his narcissistic megalomania at every opportunity. He is the poster child for ‘Say Anything’ phonies for the entire planet.

This is a man who has TAKEN from America at every turn, and is simply not to be trusted.

“It’s all about AMERICA with him.”

Yeah, right. Just like he’s plastered the title AMERICA over everything he’s ever owned, or sold his license to...

I was holding my nose with McCain until he brought in Sarah... and I was definitely holding my nose with Romney/Ryan. I will vote for Trump and I will not be holding my nose! It is because of him that we are not having a Bush/Clinton fight — and pick any of our other 17 — Trump is the only one who can (and will) beat Hillary! I'm counting on his SCOTUS list, which I think he said he would release before the convention, to help win the internal war within the republican party and kick Clinton and Obama legacy to the curb!

Oh please, simple click response delay, and I hit it twice. Just because you don’t like what I’m saying, you’ve got to do better than that.

I think your problem is an immense jealousy. Can’t stand Hilton Hotels or Sheratons, or all the others that bear the name of the founders? GROW UP! Macys,Bloomingdales, Sears, Chanel, Bass, a zillion designers , food articles, perfumes, etc/ etc. etc. And YOU are indignant that Trump would DARE to name something after himself just like so many THOUSANDS of others have done? You have a problem, and it’s not Dallas!

Of course he can win. They both have such monumentally negative numbers, that any stupid thing can, and in this instance, must happen.

They both suck. They get there in different ways, but they both suck.

I’ve been voting a lot longer than you and Trump is the first true American at heart that i’ve seen in a long long while. Wise up!

[I’ve voted in pretty much every single Presidential election since 1970.]

I have voted in every Presidential election starting with Ike in 1956. For sure there were times when my vote for the Republican was a vote against the Democrat, as the lesser of two evils. You have many months before the election to change your mind for the good of the country. Come join us.

That’s quite a nice 2 1/2 year FR silence you’ve just broken.
