here is what it is all about (Page 2): You do realize that that is only one poll, right? With no indication of methodology, and from May. Plus, the numbers in all likelyhood overlap...

With no indication of methodology, and from May.
Plus, the numbers in all likelyhood overlap, so the "deplorable" label to half of Trump supporters is, in fact, not supported.
Nice try, though.

This should resolve your issue about one poll.

By hillary's metrics 25% of the voting public are deplorable. She shows contempt for a large percentage of americans. Is this the kind of president that you want? If Trump ever said anything like this he would be excoriated and the press would have headlines such as TRUMP HATES 1/4 OF AMERICA. Hillary's comment is a discrace.

So,for the past several months you have not been listening to Trump. Get real.

Read this:

"☺ 20% of Trump supporters disagreed with Lincoln’s signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed southern slaves.
☺ 16% percent of Trump supporters admitted they believed that “whites are a superior race,”
☺ 59% of Trump voters believe Barack Obama was born in Kenya
☺ 66% (!) of Trump supporters believe Barack Obama is a Muslim"

I think she might be right.

The whore apologized today for that. She knows she was wrong. She really does not care, but she got caught. It will cost her. BTW, Dirtpusher, Mrs. Clinton when she uses the term deplorable is talking about people like you and many others that support her. You missed that didn't you?

Yes that is right, the blacks have not voted for Republicans for several generations. They have voted in lock step for Democrats for several generations. It sure has helped them hasn't it? LOL

The racial demographics of voters have changed. Mittens lost because all he could control, in the end, was the White Male vote, which is thankfully a shrinking segment of the population. What is a growing segment of the population is African-Americans - ZERO% Trump support, Hispanics 20% Trump Suppot support, and among Women only 30%.

You are wrong, Trump got many more votes in the primaries than Romney. He will also do so in the general. You have not a clue as to what you are talking about with the numbers of Trump vs Romney, the people have not voted yet.

Regarding Romney, let me point out that his floor was 191 electoral votes--number went up a little occasionally, but always returned to 191; on election night, he won North Carolina and its 15 electoral votes, giving him 206.

For the Billion dollars he spent on his campaign, his only win was North Carolina; the 191 votes were gifted to him as a republican and, had he not spent a penny on his campaign, he would still have received those votes.

His "only" win was North Carolina? Are you stupid as well as poorly read?

Had Romney received the votes that McCain did, he would have won the election going away.

The Republicans made their choice. Look up 'the Southern strategy.'

Now Trump's done it to the Hispanics; they won't vote Republican for a generation (if the Republican Party lasts that long).

My friend, we wern't referring to Trump and Romney.

The topic of conversation was Romney vs. McCain.

Here it is:

"If Romney had gotten the same number of votes the McCain got , he would have won the presidency. And Trump is at least competitive. You ca't deny that at this time a republican has shot at winning. If hillary wins that chane is over. A one party sytem is not good or america and if you think that it is- think- dictatorship"

Trump isn't doing anything like Romney, especially with college educated women. Trump get absolutely zero among blacks. About 20% of Hispanics.

And we're talking about elections, not primarys.

And, as you saw, I can deny a Republican has a shot at winning.

Romney had the Republican vote...191 electoral votes in the electoral college. That was the Republicanl floor; he couldn't go below that.

He sometime went up a little, but always came back to 191. On election night he won North Carolina, the only state he wasn't guaranteed. That is the only state he won.

I'll leave it to other readers here to decide who is stupid and partly read; watch out!

75% of Hillary voters are nuts; the other 25% say they eat nuts.
1% of the Green party support Hills; the other 99% refuse anything green, unless they'll be paid.
85% of desperate voters refuse to support either Hills or Trump.
Based on the above projections, blacks, hispanics, gays, transgenders, and anyone who can't read support Hills. Poof...Trump wins!
