I think all those moderate Republicans who voted in the last presidential election will go to the polls and vote again, and only a few establishment conservatives will vote Hillary over Trump. Almost all will vote Trump.
I think it all depends on how Trump pivots for the general election. As the rise of Bernie Sanders has shown, there is a strong populist movement on both the right and the left. Can Donald frame a populist message that resonates with more than just the GOP folks currently voting for him? It seems at the last debate he already started to do so when he talked about healthcare and Planned Parenthood. In many ways, Trump has so much more freedom than any other GOP candidate in recent history to adopt positions that are not aligned with the GOP establishment. Trump can go after Hillary's ties to Wall Street in a way other GOP candidates would be fearful of doing. I would think he has to tone down his act but still be very aggressive in his attacks...is he capable of doing so? Does he even want to move away from what has contributed to his success to date? Not sure but it does seem like he has been underestimated this entire time.
Trump has no chance....its not zero, but it's very small. There are going to be so many conservatives staying home/voting some 3rd party. I'm talking key states here too like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan. It doesn't matter how enthused the South is...they always go Republican so extra voters matter not. I think it would literally take some strange event where Hillary is forced out of the race too close to November for the Dems to get a replacement rolling.
To combat this Hillary needs Bernie- not just at the convention but on the campaign trail. Would it help if she promised to make Bernie an important part of her administration? Secretary of the Treasury?
I'm not so sure. Trump seems to fit the prototypical GOP candidate mold that does well in November. Someone that isn't taken seriously that is embraced as "being one of us" by the masses. (I'm OK being proven wrong on this.)
He's going to have a harder time when someone actually continually attacks him through surrogates. His other problem is he'll lose Hispanics even worse than Romney did and make no inroads with AAs. There's a very limited viable path if you lose those two groups 80/20 or more. Even if he could sweep the south (which means flipping VA and FL) and flip IA, he still needs to flip NV and CO or OH. I'm not sure that's doable with where he stands now.
3. The document is unmarked and yet Hillary acknowledged it could nonetheless be classified.
No political figure has been subject to greater scrutiny of all their affairs over the last 30 years than Hillary has. Everything is already out there. They haven't even started to scratch the surface with Trump. Once people start taking a really close look at his background, it can only hurt him among independent and undecided voters.
The AA vote is irrelevant.
It can be simple and complicated. It's simple in the respect that it's against the rules or law to have classified communications in an unauthorized location. It's simple that people lose their jobs and titles over that and in that people go to jail for it. It's complicated in that the rules of classifications are based on a list of obscure codes and designations.
Glad to know you don't think 10% of the electorate really matters. Newsflash is you lose the AA vote 90-10 and the Hispanic vote 80-20, Trump would basically need to win the white vote 70-30 (Romney won it 59-39 for some comparison). Good luck with that.
So it goes back to the pre-Obama levels of 11-12%...Trump would still need 68-32 for the white vote (this all assumes the Latino vote stays depressed). Pissing off 25% of the electorate isn't smart general election politics.
More excuse making for Hillary voters? The emails were around LONG before Trump moved to the forefront.
Most people also realize that if they were to set up their own server and email and send and receive official communications through it on behalf of their employer they would be fired once outed on the spot. And we're not even talking potentially classified national security documents here. Extremely poor judgment at the very least and illustrative of a level of paranoia that belongs no where near the Oval Office.
Race baiting 101: Strike when emotions are at their peak for maximum impact and memory. It's a fallacy to think she is really concerned about justice or the truth.
Good for the kid. Hillary doesnt know what to do when her pat responses arent bought. Look back at my record is the response for people she assumes dont really know her record. If you do, you know shes done nothing for african americans. Younger people i think realize that, older african americans are still wooed by the Clinton name.49 minutes ago, Higgs said:

Right. Because National Security isn't anything to be serious about.
Do you mean like when Trump spent $85,000 on full page newspaper ads directed against five black teenagers who turned out to be wrongfully convicted of a rape of a white jogger in central park in 1989?
No one has suggested that.Love how Trump is now the bar for Hillary to clear when it comes to race relations. Tough to set that bar any lower
So, here's Hillary's quote from the article posted:
I'm having trouble finding the race baiting in that one.
Good attempt at spin, but I wasn't making your point. Hillary's rather generic tweet about racism and violence is not in the same league as Trumps full page newspapers ads attacking the black teens:
She talked about it at her campaign speeches while also talking about Michael Brown, Eric Garner and Walter Scott. How would you feel if you were one of the innocent white men who were wrongfully accused?
suggested? no...you're flat out saying it with this comparison nonsense between these two boobs.
I am not the one that brought up or made the comparison between Hillary and Trump.
Walter Scott was shot in the back five times while running away after a routine traffic stop for a broken taillight (with the incident captured on video). The police officer who did it was indicted by a grand jury for murder and is awaiting trail. Innocent white man who was wrongfully accused?

I meant white men as in the guys on the bus.
Please. Hillary will have to learn to juggle dildos and fart into a whistle to compete with Trump. Nobody cares about policy.
Lots of people would naturally struggle when confronted with somebody who is obviously hostile, but Hillary struggles more than most. The combination of "Well why don't you run for something then?" and her trademark cackle at the end makes for either really painful or really hilarious viewing depending on your perspective.2 hours ago, Higgs said:

And then she'll give you that phony smile while she's fantasizing about cutting your heart out with a knife.
