    Of course. The blacks are all good dancers and make the best golf caddies. Whenever I talk to the blacks I ask them to moonwalk for me. It's amazing.

    Your persecution of rednecks with this first amendment shaming is all that's wrong with America.

    The strategy might be working, the Trump defections might move the Democratic Party to the right. :mad:

    I doubt these people will stay Democrats especially if Trump loses.

    Almost certainly not, there will be a ton of protest votes, but assuming that the Republican party returns to sanity and puts forth competent candidates in the future (in no way a safe assumption) then those who abandoned the party when it became the party of Trump will be back.

    Of course, by then it'll be too late and a ton of damage will have been done by a Hillary presidency with a Democrat controlled house and Senate and 2 or 3 new liberal SCOUTS justices, but there's nothing that can be done about that now. Republicans chose for that to happen when they voted for Trump in the primaries.

    That would be my bet. The only way the Republican party wins the presidency is if they pull a fast one and change the rules so that Trump doesn't get the nomination. There is zero chance Trump wins.

    1. The thing about a general election is that Hillary Clinton is going to get a lot of free press, too. Every time that Trump says or does something attention grabbing, the media will at least run to the Clinton camp to get their take. So, I don't know if Trump is gonna have the kind of advantage in free press that he had in the GOP primary.

    2. Moreover, a lot of this "free press" is going to be negative press. Whereas during the primaries much of the coverage of Trump was from an angle of amusement, nowadays the press is holding Trump's feet to the fire more for the stuff he says. And if the press isn't doing it, the Clinton camp is going to attack him a lot harder for these things than his GOP rivals could (because many of the controversial takes that Trump had were shared by the GOP base, but not so much those outside of the GOP).

    3. One more thing that Clinton has in her favor: allies like Obama and Warren who gets coverage when attacking Trump, which happened after Trump's reaction to the Orlando shooting. Republican leaders like Paul Ryan simply hasn't been very helpful in this regard to say the least.
