Voter fraud must be addressed before November, IMO.

Hillary Clinton is not loved by minorities, and Donald Trump is not despised. Trump is really a bit of a ‘bad boy’ that a lot of middle class liberals tend to gravitate to.

My prediction: Clinton is not inspiring to minorities, and Trump is a bit of neutral for most of them.

They might not come out to support Trump, but they won’t feel an overpowering need to come out to support Clinton. She won’t pull Obama’s numbers.

Her vote totals will be lessened by virtue of this dynamic.

Trump will still have to pull great numbers of voters, but the minority/Clinton dynamic will help him.

Of COURSE not!

I heard it on TV and read it in the papers!

With his brain tied behind his back.

Trump is a strategic person. He thinks on levels that Hillary can’t even comprehend.

Problem is, is Trumps’s motive pure? I hope and pray it is.

There is no question about Hillary’s motive!!!

Yesterday, a woman at work expressed her fear that Trump would start WWIII.

I haven’t seen this type of hysteria since Reagan beat Carter.

Of course he can beat her.

I think he will hit her tonight hard on the Benghazi her illegal server, Foundation. Enough that when the media question her, it will be impossible for her to hide. Then Bernie hits her.

She’s a terrible campaigner. Every single speech is in the can nothing, extemporaneous.

“Crooked Hillary.”

Cracks me up, that the guy thinks this stuff up himself.

Lyin’ Ted, Low Energy Jeb, Face food stuffin’ Kasich, Sweatin’ Marco...etc.

Could happen, though the genesis of a cataclysmic conflict, likely in the Mideast, is owned by Obama. His successor's job will be undoing the likelihood of a major war triggered by an aggressive, nuclear Iran. Putin might expand his domain a bit, but that's not likely to lead to the conflict this woman fears, though also Obama's fault. Hillary isn't the one to clean up the Obama/Hillary/Kerry mess. To satisfy voters of both political persuasions, neither Reagan nor JFK, for the progressives TR, will be on the ballot. And for the progressives, imagine how the original progressive, Teddy Roosevelt, would handle our foreign threats. And illegal immigration. Harsher than Trump. Probably harsher than any President since Teddy.

She is, more importantly, I think she's a terrible person. That transcends political orientation.

I don't think so. I do think he's sensible enough to understand who brought him to the dance. And who he has to dance with for a second term.

Clinton is the candidate he needs to run against. Even minorities can be won over by force of personality, which he has. And he’ll be willing to attack her weakness’. Not my first choice, but if he acquires quality political advisors, he needs a ground game in every state, I think he can win.

What we must do is put aside the anger and bitterness and get behind the nominee

I agree, though those who stay home are only casting half votes for Hillary. Though they're Hillary supporters none the less.

There's another factor emerging. The system is rigged for both nominations

For Hillary. For the last 8 years. You're not suggesting it was rigged for Trump are you?

The system was rigged for Jeb, probably with a scheme for those who supported him to win states which Jeb could not. Trump was miraculously able to outsmart their scheme, by hitting early and hitting hard.

To the extent they tried, Trump wasn’t the only candidate to crush Jeb. Not taking anything away from Trump, just noting the riggers were incompetent. Voters brought that out.

I disagree. With Jeb’s financial backing, no one else would’ve gained traction before it was a done deal. It was Trump’s self-funding and ability to get publicity that prevented Jeb’s campaign from gaining traction.

Not saying the attempt wasn't made to some extent, but Jeb was a failure. Jeb was never a contender, despite his money. Not going to bother checking old polls, but I don't think he was ever in the top 5. A broad field like the GOP has should have been tailor made for a candidate with name recognition and money. Jeb was incompetent, to whatever extent there was a plot, the plotters were incompetent.

We might disagree on rigged, to me "mainstream" Republicans attempting to elect a "mainstream" Republican candidate isn't rigged, just politics as usual. And they lost. Rigged to me is when the dead people in Chicago vote in three different precincts.
