If you lose 30% of the population by a 3-1 margin (and he'll probably lose it by more than that), you need more than 60% of the remaining 70%. Do I need to walk you through it step-by-step?Get it through your head: The President isn't elected by popular vote. He's elected by the electoral votes from each State. Consequently all votes are not equal. For instance, a guy could get every single vote in the Red States and still lose the election if the other guy carries the Blue States by just a few votes.
So suppose one guy got 70 million votes and the other one only got 40 million. If the guy who got the 40 million got them in the right Blue States he would win because they have more electoral votes.
Now in the coming election some of the Northern Blue States will turn red because of economic issues. They have enough electoral votes to give Trump the victory.
Right now, based on voter turnout, Trump should win Florida, Ohio, Michigan, Maine, Nevada, Virginia, and Ohio. Those States have 92 votes and added to the Red States that Romney won Trump will end up with a minimum of 298 electoral votes and become the President.
Nope sorry, he has pissed of far too many minorities and even far too many whites and lots of his base as well. He is only doing well right now because everyone loves Jerry Springer. He is going to have his ass handed to him in the general. NEITHER party, in history wins when the party nominee is the product of a fractured party. He is not uniting the party, he is a wrecking ball.
