If Trump is the nominee, he'll get essentially all of the Republican vote. None of them would dream of voting for "That Clinton Bitch" or "The Commie". A sizable portion of independents would vote for him too, some for the reasons already mentioned and some who are afraid of black, brown people and Muslims.

Hillary is indeed a flawed candidate, but she'd beat Trump like a rented mule.

You could be right.

You could also be wrong.

She's, sort of, the flip side of Hillary who doesn't work for me in an aesthetic sense but man -- even if/when I disagree with her -- is she smart...

He'll get essentially all of the Republican vote that votes. Many will stay home.

Only danger would be if too many Democratic voters decide it's a sure thing and stay home too.

Republicans don't have a history of staying home and Democrats don't have a history of turning out.
