Donald Trump is going to be the next president of the United States, and he will have the Democratic National Committee to thank for it. Much has been made of the “math” of the Democratic nomination, and how it favors Hillary Clinton—in large part due to her huge lead in unpledged “superdelegates.”
Trump is likely to decisively beat Clinton in virtually all of the states that she has performed strongly in so far, and seems poised to win many of the states she lost as well. This leaves her relying heavily on the solidly blue states, which overwhelmingly voted against her in the primaries, suggesting that enthusiasm will not be high with her base. Forget national polling. When one takes a sober look at the electoral map—at who can turn out their base in solidly partisan states and appeal in swing states, based on how the primaries have turned out thus far, the edge is cleanly with Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.
But it gets worse:
Trump has a large and passionate base. And while many Republicans are not comfortable with Trump, they passionately hate Hillary Clinton–and faced with such a stark choice, most would vote for Trump if only to deny Clinton the White House.
The same cannot be said on the other side:
A large number of Democrats cannot bring themselves to vote for Hillary Clinton under any circumstances—and while many of these are unlikely to vote for Trump, they may well stay home on Election Day. Already, in the primaries so far, Republican turnout has been far outstripping that of Democrats.
All of this bodes ill for Hillary Clinton in a general election.

I agree. That is why she is trying to engineer it, so Trump won’t be the R nominee.
Don’t underestimate the Dem machinery.
The nasty B will finally get whats coming to her.
Fade away Hilly & never darken the door of this Republic again.
and while many of these are unlikely to vote for Trump, they may well stay home on Election Day.
Very likely scenario
I live in a area surrounded by DFLers. They cannot stand Hillary but are not thrilled Trump. My guess is they’ll stay home on election night

Such a lovely article to read! Thank you for posting this.
Who writes this crap?
I don’t think Hillary will be the dem nominee.
With Bill out badmouthing Obama today I just bet that the Clintons have learned Hillary will soon be indicted!
It will be civil war in the dem camps.
I say look for Warren to be the dem nominee.... the fake injun... but NONE of Hillary’s die-hard supporters will vote for her and a chunk of Bernie’s folk will vote Trump.
If the dems come apart at the seams this will be the most exciting election of my lifetime! I say bring it on... I’m BORED.
Pigs flying out my window AGAIN today!!! This is the HUFF POST????
Warren as the nominee are you kidding me??? I don’t see how they can just stick Warren on the ticket at this point, it would have to be Bernie!!!
The “Hillary will crush Trump because of my magic polling data” drivel is shoveled by exactly one camp: The Establishment. Remember how Romney JUST HAD TO BE “our” guy because of his polling against Obama? Look how that turned out. Look how it turns out every. Time.
Screw 6-month-out polls. Vote for whoever you want to and ignore the noise machine and their “hypothetical polling” psyops.
Ted Cruz supporters..., do not read this.
Trump can beat Hillary after all. Really really bad news...
I know.
Bernie should be the nominee but they won’t let that happen as it’s a certain loser ticket...so they will stick in someone not even running...like the GOPee would like to do to Trump.
Like I said, demo civil war... get popcorn.
I fear for Trump's safety.
Keep him in your prayers...
What is a DFLer?
Weren’t the HuffingPuffers the ones who were NOT goingto cover Trump during the campaigns?
There is a split infinitive in the first paragraph too. The author’s name looks like something Muslim.
Pigs in your house? Sounds gross.
