-- The Democrats are never going to win on racial issues alone because minorities are still a minority of the electorate.
-- The Democrats' base is the working class, and the vast majority of that is working class whites. That has never changed, nor should it ever change, given the positions of the parties.
-- Trump has made a strong red meat appeal to working class whites on immigration and trade. He positions himself as making a business proposition (which he certainly understands): their vote in exchange for promising to look out for their 'interests'.
-- The Democrats have traditionally made this exact same kind of appeal on economic issues, but are letting themselves get outflanked.
-- There are a lot of people out there who aren't thrilled about Trump, but all they're hearing from the Democrats is, "shame on you for being a racist". Human nature suggests this doesn't work.
-Not to mention the fact that Hillary is corrupt and incompetent. She wouldn't even had gotten her party's nomination if a FBI investigation and a nominating process wasn't totally rigged in her favor.
Furthermore right now, if the GOP had picked anyone but Trump they probably would be winning in
November.
Ahahahaha no.
trump got where he did because even with his tone, and lack of finesse, and bigotry, he still had more to offer policy wise than any of the other clowns that ran, save Christie and Kasich.
Besides Christie and Kasich, the rest of 'em were paper tiger campaigners who in all likelihood would've been crushed easily by Hillary because, of course, regular dirt hurts them, whereas trump is only now starting to suffer.
trump and his consistent lack of care and ability to lie so naturally are why Hillary is in a narrow place right now.
