Trump's path through the College

[sheltiedave]

No matter how we slice and dice things on a national scale, Trump has a very tortured path to win enough electoral votes to be come president. He is so caustic and mindlessly uncaring that he has guaranteed he will not carry states with a significant minority Hispanic population, black population, and now he is working on alienating veterans' families and women voters.

The long and short of it is analysts are saying he needs to sweep the critical trifecta of Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, with their large cache of electoral votes, a conservative swing population, and a receptive bloc of angry white voters. Michigan is a step behind, but these three are critical for him.

If the above poll is accurate and the Democratic Party's only message is that the Trump presidency will be a disaster, Hillary could lose. So far that's all I hear and that is dangerous.

Here's something else. Never mentions Trump once. Whether you'll be able to 'hear' it is the question, though....

The four policy reasons why I support Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Primary.

You want me to read now why some individual voted for Hillary instead for Bernie in the primaries? Here is one paragraph that sounds like an advertisement copy.

First, Clinton’s policy proposals generally push at the boundaries of what is possible, whereas Sanders’s policy proposals generally ignore those boundaries entirely, assuming they don’t exist or can be somehow bypassed. I can understand the appeal in the Sanders approach. The boundaries of the policy debate are often regressive and arbitrary, and it feels as if we’ve been pushing on them forever with only intermittent success. And especially after seven years of constantly leaning our shoulders into the fight to win every inch we can, I can understand why we might be tempted to take a running leap of faith instead.

Ah the status quo approach to hope and change.

I got as far as "generally push at the boundaries of what is possible"

Because a whole lot of people believe Hillary will be just as, if not more disastrous.
