What part of the math don't you understand? 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.

You've never experienced a revolution.

You've never experienced communism.

You've never experienced socialism.

You don't even know what these things are.

What you have experienced are citizens in a right wing country protesting against a fascist.

You don't even know that they were all Bernie supporters. You are just parroting what your leader is telling you when he was encouraging disruption of a political opponent's rallies.

Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very
first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to
know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which),
the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and
did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.

Regarding the illegal immigrants, all of his supporters on here have completely ignored my point that building a wall is ineffective and the most costly measure for keeping out illegal immigrants. There's not just a cost to build it, but to maintain it and guard it as well. You could need guards stationed all along the wall all the time. They also ignore the point that it would be far cheaper and more effective to enforce the law and to stop companies like Drumpf's in hiring illegal immigrants in the first place.

Idiotic and removed from reality. Farmer John couldn't afford it and company X wouldn't want to afford it. They're still moving to China. The only solution to make them stay would be to pay Chinese wages. Which would add to the working poor in America and Europe.

No easy solutions in a globalized market. But to understand that, one has to inform themselves. Which many don't do.

The laws will be enforced when he is in office. The illegals will be sent back and or put in prison.

Sure I have never experienced communism, and I'm glad I haven't. Not a fan of socialism either, but I did meet my sixth cousin from Norway when I was on vacation in California, and she has nothing but good things to say about Norway at least from the few minutes I talked to her at dinner at one of the richest streets in the country Sandhill rd where the venture capital firms are located, at a nice resort for a $700 dinner. I don't see Trump as a fascist at all, and maybe because i've listened to a lot of extremists, and black, white, latino racists so my measure of extremists is a little more extreme then some. Most of the protesters I've listened to are Sanders supporters, because both Trump and Sanders are anti establishment.

With Trump being the establishment, that's rich. Why exactly would he go against his own interests?
